Our prized 1st Round draft picks looked awful

Atlantic : 9/26/2022 11:42 pm
Neal was beaten play after play after play after play after play....

Thibodeaux stuck to his tackle like glue.
They are rookies

look on the bright side…it can only go up for both of them from here right?

broadbandz : 9/26/2022 11:43 pm : link
not really worried at all. Except the complete dude miss of 2021 drafting Toney. literally drafted a guy who just doesnt want to play.

Dude ya gotta give Neal a break. He literally spent the last 4 years playing New Mexico, Duke and Western Carolina. He's gotta get his ass kicked a little bit. It's good for him.
Rookies  
BillT : 9/26/2022 11:45 pm : link
On in his first game one in his third. Calm the fuck down.
They did  
Jerry in_DC : 9/26/2022 11:47 pm : link
Neal was real bad in pass pro and KT was invisible. But its game 3 and game 1 of their careers.

Neal is going to be a good run blocker at a minimum though
They looked like rookies  
RCPhoenix : 9/26/2022 11:47 pm : link
And one of them played in his first NFL game
Thibs hasn't been able to practice for five weeks...  
sb from NYT Forum : 9/26/2022 11:48 pm : link
...and this was his first game. Jeez Louise.

And regarding Neal, most OTs take a while to click.
Thibs had no burst tonight  
jvm52106 : 9/26/2022 11:48 pm : link
As he is obviously getting his legs back. Plus, Dallas went a lot with quick passes- especially to the outside.

I am not too concerned there until he plays more.

Neal made some strong run blocks and I thought stayed in the game even after being beaten.

I am more concerned with our rookie G who can't be out Bredneson..

I know we are saying "rookies"  
ArcadeSlumlord : 9/26/2022 11:49 pm : link
but they arent just rookies. They are both top picks... it was a poor showing for both. I hope they lick their wounds.
I’m not concerned about Neal  
JoeyBigBlue : 9/26/2022 11:49 pm : link
But Thibodeaux was invisible out there tonight. He hasn’t shown anything in 3 games that he’s suited up (2 preseason and 1 regular season). At least a flash. I need to see something soon, or I will really start getting concerned.
Yeah Neal was bad  
Greg from LI : 9/26/2022 11:50 pm : link
But that wasn’t some schmo he was facing, that was DeMarcus Lawrence. Just about any rookie OT is going to struggle in that situation.

Remember how bad Andrew Thomas looked at times his rookie year? I do.

Parsons had an entire training camp, I'm pretty sure.

Diggs? Yeah, he had 10 picks or whatever, but you also seem to realize that when he isn't intercepting the ball, he's giving up huge plays. They showed a stat from last year where Diggs had given up the third most passing yards against out of ANY CB in the league.
Much  
AcidTest : 9/26/2022 11:52 pm : link
too early to assess either one.
They certainly didn’t help them get a win tonight  
rasbutant : 9/26/2022 11:52 pm : link
Hope they learn from it and get better.
Don’t we have to give them four years?  
ajr2456 : 9/26/2022 11:52 pm : link
It’s their second system in two years.
Ojulari was invisible, too.  
David B. : 9/26/2022 11:52 pm : link
Except when got flagged for the penalty.
Re: Neal  
bmgints : 9/26/2022 11:52 pm : link
I don’t know how he’ll turn out but look back at comments on Andrew Thomas after 3 games and I actually think they were worse.
Re: Thibs
Again I don’t know how he’ll turn out but hard to bash a rookie with essentially no training camp or preseason after 1 game
I’ll admit it’s premature  
OBJ_AllDay : 9/26/2022 11:53 pm : link
But I wanted sauce. I watched thibs. And I didn’t see a top 5 pick. I’m no expert so we’ll see…can’t call it after one game

Diggs is in year 3… it’s also easy to look better when you play next to other talented players

So you can’t call it but you don’t see a top five pick. Which is it v
Yup  
Spider43 : 9/26/2022 11:57 pm : link
'Wanted Sauce too. But when he wasn't there, I wanted Ickey at 5, and either Johnson, Hamilton, or even Karlaftis at 7.

I just didn’t see a can’t miss guy. I’m not Sy or an expert but his two games against Utah were concerning. I get it was his first game. I’m not expecting 3 sacks. But did he even make a play today? Him liking to get behind the microphone so much doesn’t endear me either

The whole draft, really. Except Bellenger who has played well.
Time will tell, but the great ones often flash right from the start. I was hoping one or both of these guys would be special. Not just good. We need to have drafted at least 1 all- pro type to build around.

JoeyBigBlue : 9/27/2022 12:00 am : link
Love railing on Andrew Thomas’ rookie season, but I don’t remember him giving up 3 sacks in a game. Neal will be fine. I just think we might need to lower our expectation and realize that he will be a really good run blocker, to an average to slightly above average pass blocker.

You didn’t see a top 5 pick? Yeah. Ok.

Premature or not, that’s just fucking dumb. First, you’re an armchair know nothing. Second, he literally just played his first game in the NFL.

But, we all wait with baited breath with your further analysis. LMFAO.
Tonight will be a learning experience, hopefully.

Thibs can smoke more cigarettes, i was at the game

Thibs is trash, on three plays he was blocked by the rb pollard and was stood up, He is a complete bust. Jihad aWard is a thousand times better

Wasn't Thibs wearing a brace recently. He's got to get his game experience first. With all these problems we were right there in the game to the end

I was at the game and can attest thibs sucks donkey dic*. He could not shed an rb block in isolation while rushing 3 times i counted, he couldn’t sniff the wb and jad no moves to qb. He is a complete bust.

I wad impressed with Jones. He had some awareness tonight and moved the ball downfield. He also took some major hits

moespree : 9/27/2022 1:15 am : link
I spoke with someone who went to the game and they said Thibs looked weak. That he was being shoved around by guys smaller than him and did not look strong at all.

The guy I spoke to wasn't expecting the speed to be there for the first game back, so that did not disappoint him, but he was really shocked by how weak he looked from a strength standpoint. Like nothing there at all.

Was this your opinion on him and his strength too?

Yes, he looked really weak. Like i said, i watched him closely at the game, and pollard was pushing him around like a rag doll when he was rushing. He is not a first rd pick with thst lack of strength. In fact, i will go out on a limb and say he is worse at rushing the qb then Golladay is at receiver.
