 Hey man, I wasn't even gonna show this play but take no young tackles This is what happens when you find work. All offensive liners. Just What's up you guys What's going on if I can get it to focus there and welcome back welcome back to another rugby player reacts to an American football players video and Today's video we're focusing on none other than Andrew Thomas if you tuned in for the previous video You will have seen my reaction to his his Profile his story his Wikipedia also. We read an article from the new york comm and last but not least We had a look at his Georgia balldogs profile, which didn't really give us too much information But thinking back now I actually missed a couple of things So the first thing I'm gonna do before we get into this there. He is big man for Georgia This is the stuff that I saw, but I didn't read Which is really annoying. I know he went to pace academy in high school in 2017. He was named To the freshman all-american team, which we know. Okay, so 2018 all-american first team Okay, so this is I guess this is just a bit of a roundup of what we already knew but there is one interesting piece of information here He was winner of the SEC's Jacob's blocking trophy and it was the University of Georgia's first recipient of the award in 21 years named one of four permanent team captains And he was the co-winner of Vince Doolie offensive MVP given at teams postseason awards gala He got the all SEC first team a key player in Georgia that won 11 or more games in three straight seasons Won three straight SEC Eastern Division titles played in three straight New Year's six bowl games Started at left tackle and all 13 games and what she played Etc etc etc Andrew thanks mate, but without further ado. It's time. We look at your highlights And I guess the first thing we need to do is choose what videos we're gonna watch in the previous two videos We had a highlight clip from sick edits HD But apparently Andrew Thomas didn't make the cut. So What we're gonna do is I don't know what are we gonna do Andrew Thomas's film study 18 minutes long seems a bit long Oh, we've got an interview Andrew Thomas shares experience playing the SEC sweet. I'll get that New York Giants select Georgia OT Andrew Thomas with the number four pick. I'm pretty sure that's just his pick But we'll have a look at that Why did the Giants pass on a sire Simmons to draft offensive lineman Andrew Thomas Andrew Thomas's first interview as a New York Giant? Andrew Thomas's combine work out film room breaking down Andrew Thomas's college tape and we're gonna go Andrew Thomas College highlights, you know with the guy in this kind of position. I guess just looking at a few highlights is not I Don't know if it's gonna show me what I need to see or what I want to see But looking at like someone else break his play down or looking at Possibly some interviews talking with him about how he plays and what he sees on the field, etc I think that'll be more useful 259 Andrew Thomas all 22 film. What's that? Vock takes a deep dive into college football film from players breaking down the players Andrew Thomas combine work out no Andrew Thomas highlights highlights of Andrew Thomas lineman out of Georgia Who is probably the most complete tackle in the draft first thing we're gonna do is Watch Andrew Thomas's highlights You with me number 11. No number 71 Probably the most complete tackle in the draft We would be lucky if he slipped to the Jets at 11. No No good. I'm gonna try this one. This ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work guys I know a much much better video that we could easily watch and that is this video right here Vock Lombardi Don't know who it is, but it's okay It's the morning But right I'm 71 left out right the reason I picked this Notre Dame film was because I think it properly represents the player We got some pretty good competition DJ Khaled on this side. Julian's right there. It's a pretty good three-take work up in there We're gonna get some some pretty good football terminology going so it should be a fun little show man But if you're a fan of Andrew Thomas, you're a fan of his run Sorry guys, I was I literally just missed that I was looking at Andrew Thomas and then I thought Holy shit that the ref is actually set up to is he gonna be playing defense? And then I was watching the ref because he did not he did not move he didn't I don't think the ref moves until they have to Which is interesting. I honestly, I don't usually look at the ref But I did then anyway. We're not watching the ref for watching 71. That's what he does really well That's the one thing that stands out the most When you just see him come off the ball and oh So he met right? Okay. We see some pretty good knee band Fantastic hands are in a place where he can work and navigate hat levels pretty cool They watch his hips right here right watch him uncall his hips right there Let me do the slow motion you see boom see that that that that means I'm hitting you with some kind of power And I want to move you okay There's not bro. That is some power. You know what that? That defensive in actually did extremely well to even stay on his feet You know what that reminds me of seeing Andrew Thomas go up like that against that fella That reminds me of like too big like oh God what what animal out there has a massive ass is it too? Alks going against each other is it too is it too rhinoceroses going against each other is it too hippopotamus is going It's I don't know what it was bro, but that uncoiling that he was talking about that power That's being generated like that each and every step bang bang bang bang bang Next level If you can just simply What's that gauge with someone while we're running a zone right concept and just let the rain back pick the whole pick the grass or whatever Then you're in good shape right so he's purposely engaged this you know defender rather than slipping back a little bit in the pocket and and and just Basically just reacting to whatever the defender does he's gone and taken the initiative and gone and met him and And yeah So good about Andrew is that not only does he had on hat people, but he actually gets movement Okay And I guess another way to say had on hat is like a stalemate or whatever you see a lot of offensive linemen stalemate You don't get too too much stalemate with Andrew Thomas I'm gonna tell you why I'm a handful of a handful of techniques later You don't see him still me too much. You see him get some kind of movement Take a look at this at this at this second play here We're gonna see him do the same kind of deal right? We're gonna see him consistency there come off the ball boom hands good knee bend good hat level and that's how he wins I'm sure you got another technique that he uses to To win these run blocking engagements or whatever. So take a look at this Here we go. Yeah, we got Andrew Thomas right here 71 left. I was actually wondering about the running back there to be fair Sorry, mate, but if I can just stop you Look at this running back gets the ball, right? This middle linebacker is closing down on him fast Basically the only other option that this running back had was to bounce out to the left, right? You know if that had have happened this number six is going to come down Although, you know, he could bounce here He could hold up for a little bit. Hopefully Andrew Thomas is still holding this blocker and then bounce to the outside Oh Know what I mean? So he would have come left It's going to be a one-on-one the running back against the linebacker and who knows what would happen when you got Andrew Thomas out on the left You go left I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm sure you got another technique that he uses to To win these run blocking engagements or whatever. So take a look at this All right, here we go. You got Andrew Thomas right here 71 left tackle Um, this is something I really want to show you all. So just tell your kids to leave the room Cover their eyes and ears because this is about to be some old line for right here This one of those techniques that really just shows off how much polish a player really has and it solidifies They spot okay. Take a look at what 71 Andrew Thomas does to 41. He's going to bump down in the beat gap And just look at what he does to him real fast. It's just just watch this Watch this man. He's going to bump down in the beat gap and we're going to use this one technique that we use in Oh Technical lean that's a body slam. That's what that is in my comment section a tactical lean What does that mean? It's when you use your weight to your damn, bro That guy had no chance You just can't be out here using your weight leaning on people just to lean on people because you'll lose balance You'll fall forward But if you just find that sweet spot to use your weight to become heavier Then you dry bro, that was Yeah, that was o-line porn. That's for sure Because take a look at Andrew's feet Hold on. He's just falling on folk. He's driving as he's dropping his he was the quicker man off the line Hello 315 320 pounds on top of you Combine nurse help me out. How much Andrew time is really way. He's dropping that on top of you and moving his feet Come come boy this power in this side. Let me let me just let me just sit sit showing up Hang on what animal is around 320 Pounds No, I don't want an animal pound is around 300 Pounds what animals around 300 pounds? No No, he's just too big. That's that's that's that's god-level o-line play. Um, let's take a look at this one, man Same concept right boom using my weight. I'm a lean on Foot is the same play feet passing you along to the combo getting to the second level getting hands on the linebacker, man I am so impressed with Andrew Thomas as a run blocker and we'll talk about his by this past Running back made the right decision there same time. I know I know we're talking about the offensive lineman, right? But I'm still looking at the running back. I can't help it What he's doing in the run game and this movement that he's creating Take a look at what he does this three tech right here. He's gonna hit him with another tactical lean, right? Now all tactical leans aren't like the last few that we saw where we're leaning and we're taking people to the ground He is a big Human distribution just to get you, you know moving in that direction and then I'll just get back on my toes Running backs running backs would would just just proceed running backs and quarterbacks would absolutely love their tackles, um, wouldn't they You can't help that bond be a fan of the good old tactical lean man. Take a look at this and I give this touchdown credit to Andrew Thomas. Take a look at him He's right here. Um, he's gonna get some movement going. He's gonna end up selling the linebacker off Oh, yeah That's like a big mall in the game rugby there, man Got the ball carry to the back of it. Can't beat this with a stick, man Just down your feet. You can't complain when your offensive lineman is looking for work. What does that mean? Yes Mate that offensive lineman knows that if my running backs gonna be straight up my ass He ain't gonna score unless I'm over the the in goal line and that's exactly what he did there and because Um, Andrew, but we won't step down and he looked for work and he sealed off 40. That's a whole six points right here Hey, man, I wasn't even gonna show this play but take no young tackles. This is what happens when you find work All offensive linemen just Oh Coming my trenches with your head down, man. What the hell wrong with you, doc? And you dropped your hat Oh, but look at the second block This block here this block here should he should have done a lot better and then the half bat would have had a clean lane Sorry, mate He's got 129 patrons. Hey guys, I just want to take this moment right here right now He's plugging his patreon. I'm gonna plug my patreon. You can find it at jacob mcdonnell On patreon.com. I have a patreon. I've got nine absolutely incredible patreons right now But I'd love some more So if you're thinking about it if you want to support this channel financially head over That's a little good pass blocker, but if you got any reservation It's coming from that side of the field, man It's just a handful of technique things that I would like to tweak And I don't even think this makes him a a bad player. I just think he would be a much better player If uh, he wasn't a victim of coaching philosophy here, right? Um, take a look at andrew and how he's dealing with this defensive. Oh my gosh. I just missed something You know this this little this little high hand clamp move is apparently real high in the streets Look at the angle, bro. That's so that's that's incredible. This is two beasts going up against each other like literally two two different styles of uh I guess two different styles of of force, you know what I mean? We've got andrew with With the squat and we've got the number 53 who's coming in on a 45 degree angle just pushing everything he's got But can he move him seems like, you know, everybody's saying that there's not a lot of good offensive linemen in the league What because they out here teaching this this goofy little hand this high hand clamp thing Well, we should be teaching hands inside. It's just a difference of coaching philosophy Whatever don't hate on me for that. But um, when when we have this this uh, this high hand clap What happens? What is he saying? He's saying that he shouldn't be bringing the hands over like that Because it's going to give the defender a chance to get underneath Maybe you should be going under As the first priority. I don't know Is that their their arms get real wide and it exposes their chest and and the defender ends up getting hands inside And when they get hands inside they kind of control you a little bit, right? And I know that they coaching it because i'm looking over at the right tackle Let's look at him and he's doing the same thing man. Just just just open open arms, man Just just just real goofy looking giving up their chest. I can't see bro back back in this one, right? Because i'm looking over at the right tackle. Let's look that that that tackle could have Initiated the content. He could have come towards 42 I mean 42 had it completely over him this one and he shouldn't have because you know, he weighs less Just just just open open arms man. Just just just just real goofy looking Or maybe the lineman knew that they were going to throw it to the left So he knew that it doesn't matter what happens. He just has to stop that guy from getting to the quarterback So if he did initiate it, he might have got swiped past. Maybe yes, I can't stand it Um, I would much rather Andrew get get his hands on the defender as as quick as possible, right? But instead we see the defender got hands in the middle of Andrew He kind of gave up a little ground now. I will say once Andrew gets hands on people They tend to stop moving. That's how I know. He's a good. He's a good pass blocker, right? Because his movement is good his feet is good and his hands are relatively good They're just in the wrong place But once he gets hands on people, you see that power start to come out. Let me show you another example So like Andrew never gets overpowered by either of these defensive ends in the run game, right? So I know they're not stronger than him. I know you now. Let's just take a look at 71 right now Then we'll come back and we'll look at it, right? Just just very unsure with his hands. And I know that's a damn coaching thing, right? And with and with that that uncertainty of his hands. He uh, he allows uh, Julian O'Quara To get his hands inside and Hell man, Andrew kind of gets picked up off the ground here man. He's not strong right here, man But but instead I want Andrew to be able to get his hands on guys quickly to punch them first Um, and there are some examples still did an effective job. And what I just saw was that wide receiver gets squashed There's some examples of Andrew getting hands on the defender first Probably because the defender just engaged with him quicker Or just some some kind of so you don't think that he does have the initiative to go and Get the defender first or he does I'm a little confused now Let me just show you an example of what happens when Andrew can finally get hands on people first. Okay. Take a look at Andrew on this play Watch this kicky kicky kick goofy little hand exchange But once he got he got underneath didn't he The same kind of hand that we know in love with the row That is all the force that that defensive end has and Andrew Thomas is literally Absorbed all of that right at this moment. You can see it Yeah, you ain't moving there that 53 has put everything has got into that Right on the uh the pads the chest guard Right on the chest guard, isn't it like right here? Actually come to think of it I went to an american football training last year for the first time and a guy that was about my Weight definitely, you know, no 300 pounder Literally picked me up off my ass and threw me about two meters backwards just through the proper technique Of of you know punching basically and it just it humbled the shit out of me. It was it was great Andrew I'm watching the running back. I'm sorry I just want Andrew to be a little more patient when he's dealing with With a gap exchange is like he want to beat the hell out of people so bad That when people crosses is crossed his face He goes with him instead of being a little more patient in the pass game. Take a look at him here at left tackle Watch this. We're gonna get a gap exchange. Boom. He wants to beat the hell out this dude So he wants to go with you But we got a gap exchange to the outside now. Andrew Thomas is good enough to recover and get back outside and You know try to get a hand on this dude before Jake from stay farm You know just just just dies back there But this would have been a lot smoother if you would have passed him along stay square stay square And you would have seen this gap exchange happen And then you'll just move along but because you want split second split second shit, isn't it? I mean Oh, well he got forced into that gap exchange He has to overcompensate for that just to get back outside man Really really weird habit, but uh, that just shows how aggressive and angry he plays football, you know, I mean Uh, I'm a big fan of Andrew Thomas. Matt. I'm a big big fan of him Of course he you know There's that one hand thing that I want to be different But I know that once he gets to the next level in the football league man Some coach is just gonna let him get hands inside on people and he's gonna go right back to smoking kids, man Um, and and that kind of you know when you think about the rankings of these guys, right? Look at the tricep coming out. He is when it comes to OT number one I'm surprised. I'm actually surprised. He only put up 22 rips on the bench of Thomas and uh, Jedrick wills, of course, which of those guys is is offensive tackle number one And I think if you consider, um, the actual physical traits from Andrew I think Andrew is a more physically talented player than some others or whatever While others may be raw. He has more polish than others To wear one may be more of a balanced package He may not be as good as Andrew at one thing, but he's better than Andrew at another thing, right? So we kind of got to figure out what we really like about these tackles. Um, and that's what I'm doing right now This might ask me yo, watch whether you rank Andrew Thomas is he your OT number one two or three? I don't know yet Neither do I But guys That was a whole heap of fun. That was our first look at Andrew Thomas. That was a full film study of one of his games Um, I can't I can't actually recall which game it was now But that doesn't matter in the next video. We're going to continue with the other Andrew Thomas videos I want to hear him talk. I want to hear him talk You want to hear a guy who's such a beast on a field like that But you want to hear how he talks because at the end of the day, it's it's the personnel It's not just the physical attributes, is it that makes a successful professional football player. It's it's the personality It's the locker room vibes. It's the ability to be punctual To, you know, generate respect to be honest, you know, confident, but not cocky, etc So guys, we're going to call it there. This video has probably been about half an hour long I want to thank you for being here and without further ado I'll see you on the next one where we hear Andrew Thomas speak and following that We're going to have a look at the fifth pick of the 2020 NFL Draft tour Tonga vai lower I'll see you then Peace out
