That goes a long way to impacting player performance. Athletically Thomas is at least in the ballpark. Tho a comparison to Donald for any player is unfair. That guy is on another level.

Look man I like solly, always have . So far he's been a huge disappointment, no matter where he's played. I rather not get into it where I'm on a side looking like a solly hater. My post was about being excited that he could learn off Bosa. But didn't want to compare him to donald and have a bunch of posters attack me.

He looked good in that limited time.

Moved back inside and he does this

If he has Buckner also rushing inside then Bosa and Ford coming off the edge. Then there's nowhere at all to go on that play.

This also happens when Solly is inside. You can see why coaches struggle with him. Just being objective. He's had some beautiful interior rush reps.

Yes, it's called a ZONE RUN. That's what interior players face. Hence why it's a struggle to keep him inside when he gets moved that easily off the ball.

He also had a snap later where he spit the double team.

I think we can all agree he's not getting doubled lined up next to Bosa, Buckner and Ford

It baffles me that people on here don't understand what a zone run is given who our head coach is.

"BuT hE gOt DoUBlEd"

Yes, that's the entire point. Interior players get doubled on those type of runs. It's their job to defeat those doubles, and when the interior player can't hold up, he becomes a liability. Hence why the coaches struggle with Solly's position.

Don't care about anything with this guy until he does it consistently in games that matter
