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.

I know that looks bad but it's actually not terrible. You gotta look at how much push they got and it wasn't much. As one of Thomas' biggest critics, I've been impressed with him so far this game.

He held his lane against a double team. The RB had to bounce it clear around behind him. If 32 does not overrun the play to the inside, it is held to little of no gain.

Exactly. He literally only got pushed back half a yard against a double team. That's a win. People just don't understand football.

That's funny because you guys clearly don't understand defensive line play.

As an interior DL, if you don't defeat the drive blocker(and eliminate the seal blocker in this case with a hip drop), you're not doing your job. He got passed off and the guard was free to work to the next level. That's a fail. Fortunately, Mayo filled the A gap quickly, which is the reason the running back cut it back.

That's funny because you guys clearly don't understand defensive line play.

As an interior DL, if you don't defeat the drive blocker(and eliminate the seal blocker in this case with a hip drop), you're not doing your job.

No D-line coach in America would expect any player to take on a double team and beat them. Hold your ground is a win. If you're able to beat it that's a huge bonus. Sit down.

I love Sully but getting turned around is never a win for the DL. It wasn't a total flop but that snap is definitely not something we want to see from him or other DLmen.

As I brought up before he had a much better rep later on where he split the double. Will have to find it tomorrow cuz it's bed time on the east coast.

He didn't get turned around lol, he was spinning off because the RB had bounced it outside. That's just being a football player at that point and hustling to the ball. Something Solly does CONSTANTLY and gets very little credit for from the negative nancies in here.

He looked pretty quick doing that spin and running to the RB (even after the double team)...a lot of energy / high motor
