Over at profootballfocus (yes, I know not everyone is a fan of them) they graded out the guard play for this past Sunday. According to them, Thomas, though not spectacular, was generally not that bad. He did have some major bad plays, but they pin pointed a different weak link on the line.

That was in contrast to Logan Mankins (-1.9), who posted his second consecutive negative grade and doesn’t look to be at his best. The All-Pro left guard had problems a plenty with Calais Campbell, and gave up two tackles for short gains and another for no gain. Patriots fans will be hoping that he’s working himself back from injury, because right now he’s the weak link on a line that is generally winning most of it’s battles.
