One of Thomas strongest traits/attributes is his speed and his mobility. The guy played safety for the Ravens the year before we signed him. The guy has immense mobility.
What RB's are you talking about? He killed Tomlinson and Westbrook maybe the best two RB/ catching RB's in the league. He shut them both out.
In the Super Bowl he played great. But i hope you also noticed when he wasnt blitzing that he was in coverage far more. Dont believe me? Check the tape. The guy was covering guys left and right.
Thomas is probably our most agile defensive player.
He moves well for a guy his size and his straight-line speed is excellent. His change of direction is average though and not close to on par with elite inside linebackers.
