There was a ton of panic after the NE preseason game, but I’m very pleased with his play thus far. If he ultimately ends up the long term left tackle, that would be good for the franchise.
He played well. I said to my buddy after the pick when I thought the giants would take advantage of the gift they were given and at least run the clock down after a 1st down amd kick fg with seconds left that Andrew Thomas gets a game ball
But his run blocking hasn’t been up to par to what it was last year. I’m still confident that he will be the left tackle for the team for the next 10 years.
But what the coaches said in the off-season was that both Thomas and Peart would emerge as fixtures. Thomas seems to at least be ok. Can he emerge as a top tackle? A #4 should. But it's hard to talk about him without also mentioning that Peart - the supposed bookend is nowhere to be seen now. He was part of the 'we addressed the O-line' narrative. It's still early - but both need to be there and do a decent job.

Yes. I've been pleased with his solid pass protection but he has gotten very little push in the run game.
I think it’s fair to say that he was playing some good football
Last night but also made a few mistakes. He was giving Montez Sweat fits. But Chase Young also put a blistering move on him in the first half leading to a sack.

How can you tell when you have a RB who can’t run to the left?

He's not alone in the run blocking, they held up fairly well in Pass Pro against a great defensive front,
not good, great.
Those defensive tackles can wreak holy hell as well...
with his feet. I think the run blocking is partly to blame on the scheme at times. What do you expect him to do on that run to his outside? That play seemed to have no chance.
like Young beat him and Barkley was stopped but, that was all Barkley. Go back and look at the play. The LG blocks down- to the right and Thomas sets up hard inside (to the right) and basically is letting Young go outside of him to the Left. Barkley didn't force the issue to the side/middle where the blocks were set up and instead jumped quickly (as he often does) to the left and right into Young. That was NOT Thomas's fault.

Chase Young (who he faced on the majority of plays) had 3 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss. As I recall, the "move" Young put on him came as Thomas tried to block Young AND a DB blitzing off the edge who had a free run at Jones.
BLOWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You score 29 points you should win .....
That's not really a sure thing in the score-at-will NFL anymore. 29 should be a winning score, but it's not really a slam dunk when the league is begging teams to score points.
the sack and he failed to block he CB on one wide play later on, but was VERY good otherwise. I'm disappointed Peart didn't get in, but Solder was actually pretty good and he and WH seemed to be working well together, so I get Sale's reasoning there.
His false start was truthfully a delay of game because the clock was all ready at :00.
Some of you fans are a joke. You need to see more from him?
Yes. I've been pleased with his solid pass protection but he has gotten very little push in the run game.

No he wasn’t. I keyed on him the entire night and came way extremely impressed.
