Video: Joe Thomas abusing Cowboys defenders

[gimmesix]

i honestly wouldn't call that abusing ! great technique yes.

Tyron Smith abuses people, Collins at times abuses people

I like the video of Smith that was included in the OP. The person who originally posted it was complaining about holding, but really Smith just dismissed the defender, easily throwing him to the ground.

Surprised no one traded for him. Price must have been high

Didn't they publicly say they wanted a second for McCown? So yeah, they were probably asking for the sky. THat third snap wasn't very great for THomas, Crawford got around him very quickly and was a half step from the sack in the red zone. At the very least, Crawford likely rushed the QB's throw there.

Well said indeed !!

Yeah, he got around Thomas on that one. If Kessler had had double pump, that play wouldn't have looked so good for Thomas.

That was not his best plays from that game. There were many others that were better.

 

[Zekeats]

That last highlight looked like a lowlight.

I'd like to think of it as not so much a Cowboys weakness, but Cleveland's only strength.

Please get him and move him to RT for the Cowboys.

He put Crawford on the ground. He wasn't getting the sack.

I see this is a lot in guys who "get close" but never get the sack. They take angles up the field that are easier to use to get around the lineman, but not at all conducive to getting pressure/sacks. They just look superficially good because they get physically closer to the QB.

Not sure we're talking about the same play. Crawford went around him and was set to hit Kessler. He wasn't on the ground. If Kessler had been forced to double-clutch, he would have been hit and Thomas wasn't in position to do anything about it.

I know of a much better #73 who was a left tackle here.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Shame he has had to toil away in the NFL's version of Siberia his entire career.

It's not a shame. That has been his choice. He wants to play for a perennial loser.

 

[Risen Star]

And you saw what Suggs did to Thomas last night with a torn bicep.

Who cares? The team got dominated.
