There is a lot of concern (understatement) on this board about Dallas Thomas. There are a lot of positive, supportive words coming out of the Dolphins Organization about him. I saw him play last year and watched him struggle, as did many others on this board. What I am hoping to accomplish with this thread is this:
I would like to pinpoint from people who know what it is exactly about Dallas Thomas that have contributed to his struggles, if they are correctable, and how long does it take to refine what is lacking?
For example, for people who have watched him play or have access to film/video of him playing, what is it exactly about Thomas's game that have caused him to have so much trouble? For example- is he not strong enough, is he too slow at the point of attack, does he not use his hands properly, does he play with poor leverage?
I am not a talent evaluator, but I love listening to people who understand technique, who have maybe coached, who see what the problems are and can identify them. What I hope this thread does not turn into is a bash session with responses like "he sucks" / "he's a turd". What I would like to know what it is that has caused his struggles, and what can be done to fix them. Dallas Thomas is such a lightning rod for abuse, and I get tired of hearing the blanket "he sucks" stuff. I'd love to know they whys.
Thank you to all who contribute.
