2. Andrew Thomas and the OL

Let us start off by saying we love Andrew Thomas. He's a stud on the outside from his left tackle spot and there's a good reason the G-Men gave him his huge extension. At the same time, he'll be the first to tell you that this wasn't his best game and that he let his offense down with his showing against the Bengals.

Especially in the first half, Thomas did not look like someone who was an All-Pro LT in 2022. In that first half, Thomas gave up a sack and then not too long after, he was flagged for ineligible man downfield on a HUGE Darius Slayton gain. It was 56 yards for the G-Men that was taken off the board because of Thomas losing focus.

In the second half, Thomas looked much better and the offensive line did better work opening up holes for Tracy too. However, the way Thomas and the other big fellas up front looked overall was not up to standard from what we've seen so far this campaign.
