Jake Thomas Discussion

[Blue In BC]

In 3 games Willie has only recorded 1.33 tackles a game.  Near none.  Near zilch.  Nuff said on that?

Fire Willie?

Watch. The. Pressers.  It's all about pressure.  From my vantage point Fatboi has caused more pressure than Willie this season!  And, for those really watching, Fatboi's motor keeps running until the whistle.  Willie tries his 1-2 moves and then stops if they didn't work (until playoffs).

How many knockdowns has Willie had, forced fumbles?

Yeah, Thomas keeping running until the play is over but at that point he was just in chase mode and the offensive player is already down.

Yeah it's getting annoying the cutting and pasting agree it's gotta stop
The 1st time I let it go but someone who feels that they need another forum to backup their point is on thin ice imo
Just because an opinion is posted elsewhere means nothing to me
Well written, well said agree all, nice that now there are three amigos minimum on the Thomas train, props man props
Nope, we are holding the other teams to under 100 yards a game and our run D has been strong
If our run D was weak it already would have been exposed

I hope they run on our middle our dl and deep rotational lbs will feast

Bring it
Nah, he has contributed plenty, understating the significance of him staying healthy

Lots of tackles, sacks, ff and an int!

It's annoying that you quote 4 different comments in one post rather than adding actual information / facts. How many times do we have to hear your main argument that he's played 200 games and seldom injured?

Assessment is always a comparison against others is similar roles whether on our team or others.

I've asked twice already: In 2024 and in 2025 where does Thomas rank against our starters?

Willie has different responsibilities. I think the fair comparison is to compare Thomas to Lawson. Who is getting pressures and turning them into tackles with less time on the field.

And again, I'm fine with Thomas as a vet member of the team. I'm just with the proponate that thinks he's going to be able to be more effective with less reps. Willie too, for that matter - We've also needed a rotational DE since Kongbo left.

Yes our DL is older and thin on bodies. At some point we might be able to flip the ratio. Person might get an opportunity to see some game time. Bailey as global could help and Weitz could get bumped.

Obviously we've got a lot of talent at LB but we need to be able to stop the run at the LOS and not 4 - 6 yards after. I think we've improved  on not letting opponents get outside as often with any running attack.  We're seeing a lot up the gut so to speak.
