Dallas Thomas' 2014 goal: be a starter

[gafin]

“

To be a starter, for one,” he said. “And just keep working on my technique and get better and better.”

Ultimately, though, Thomas’ rookie season became one of watching and learning.

And the biggest lesson?

“You’ve got to know your material, you’ve got to know what you’re doing on the field because stuff happens so fast,” Thomas said. “You’ve got to be able to just react to it and not even think about what’s happening on the field.”

Thomas could see a big difference pretty quickly.

“For one I was dealing (last spring) with my shoulder injury I had,” he said. “I was coming off surgery with that and I was just trying to recover from that and play catch-up with that. But now I know everything. Got a new playbook, I got that nailed down pretty good, tight, so I know it’s just working with Branden (Albert) and stuff, working together.”

Hopefully after a year of learning, and his shoulder healing, Thomas will be a big difference maker on the offensive line.

I hope this kid does something this year. If he was just above average, I would be ecstatic.

His first goal should be "not end up flat on my ass looking at the sky after every play".

Yeah, doing the "Martin-Snake" doesn't get you very far in this league.
