Run defense, Thomas didn't look so good

[mcbee]

He looked OK in pass rush, although to no great effect.

I think we need some speed on the weakside to come around the block and make a tackle. Several times McGahee was running behind a wall and was just kind of stumbling forward for 5 or 8 yards. Hard to make a tackle when you have to go through a wall to do it. Of course, if Seymour could hold up the point of attack, maybe it wouldn't be needed.

Maybe Thomas is just getting the swing of things.

it was mostly outside with this 4-3. Green/Thomas didnt look so good

I thought Wilfork and Seymour did real well..Wilfork was bulldozing 2 guys and still getting there quickly enough.

are u guys forgetting we ran a 4-3 and not 3-4? Outside was Green's fault as a DL. think about where they went..off tackle behind Ogden who was killing Green

Adalius Thomas has been pretty non-exsistant after the first few games. He hasn't made a "big play" in quite a while.

he was a beast against Buffalo and played sound against Eagles.

hes solid in coverage and plays run well..dont need big #s really. maybe he was little out of his game playing 4-3 OLB or the Ravens just came out playing very well but i wouldnt blame it on him solely

He looked horrible against the run. Couldn't get off his blocks.... That being said, maybe he was being held. God knows everyone else was.

true that. Vrabel got held so many times..as did Seymour/Wilfork. Btw..Seau is a beast..besides when McGahee spun him around and gave him the 100 yr old LB no chance

I mean in terms of seeing a game changing play, perhaps it's an unfair expectation but I've come to expect those almost once a game from Thomas.

Joey Porter has played very well this past month. These signings are a lot more comparable then they were about 5 games ago.

not at all..were not letting Thomas play his strength which is pass rush. hes playing inside as a run stopper and were not letting him cover man to man with TEs..instead we have Harrison do it

hes played 3-4 OLB..and 4-3 OLB. Thats his best chance to make plays and be at his best. Only coaches can really tell and appreciate the work he does inside because he wont standout

Actually, Thomas was an outside pass rusher for much of the game. He didn't play all that well, but nobody on the line did until there was about 8 minutes left in the game.
