Brandon Thomas OL (traded to DET) | Page 4

I would think since Kilgore had done a fine job before his injury that he would hold down the C spot.

Making Marcus Martin battle it out with Looney and Thomas for the right to be the starter at LG

How long will he be removed from his knee injury?

Sounds about right.

Yup and M.Martin has slimmed down a lot...lot leaner from the video I saw of him working out. If we install a ZBS, all of these guys will be heavy on cardio and trimming up. With Kilgore back, you also have Farrell behind him at C so truth...you'll have a monster battle inside and I think that battle INCLUDES Alex Boone who played like ass all year long. I would not be surprised if he is moved out to LT and Staley to right and Davis slides inside and a battle ensues at LG with Looney, Martin and Thomas.

I would much rather see Boone as the swing man on tackle. When he came in for Staley a couple seasons ago, he completely shut Robert Quinn down. I think it's more his natural position.

He spent years training as a tackle and I think even he believes its his best position for sure. His coach/trainer, LeCharles Bentley, also went on record and said that's his more natural position. In a ZBS, I'm trying to picture who is most athletic, better at sealing edges, getting to the next level, conditioned, etc. Whatchu think?

Many of those runs will be to the right side off tackle. Hmmmm?

I have looked and looked and have not been able to find where Brandon Thomas was projected in the Draft before his injury! Does anyone have real information on this not just personal opinions???

By the way projections ARE personal opinions

Touche Mr. Moderator, but some Personal Opinions are not as viable as others lol... I just saw ToddMcshay called him an early 2nd rounder before the ACL. Thanks for the info
