Trai Turner Welcomes Solomon Thomas To The NFL

[Saca312]

So, Trai Turner did a number on Solomon Thomas. Completely disrespects his move, then finishes off with a nice body slam.

Welcome to the NFL, Thomas.

*Please note I don't mean an actual pancake when Trai leaps on Thomas from behind. As many others have said, that is indeed not a technical pancake. Meant it figuratively in terms of having a 300lb+ smash a guy to the ground in a broader sense.

Sorry for the confusion.

Trai did a great job there, but that ain't a pancake.

That push him to the side then flatten him after Thomas tried so hard, too funny.

Anytime someone 300+ lbs falls on top of another smaller dude to the ground, I call it a pancake.

Technically a pancake is putting the opponent on their back. Not tackling from behind.

But enough about your sex life

Honestly that left hand club by Thomas was actually pretty strong. Turner is just strong enough and has good enough feet to recover quickly. That's why he's making the big bucks now.

This. Just shows Solomon will do good things.

Not a pancake, but a nice job by Turner of staying in front of the much quicker Thomas and finishing him.

4 out of 5 OL spots are solid to pro bowl level.

LT is still a mystery but if he can make it into the Solid category, Cam and Co are gonna do big things.

Matt Kalil was very good at pass protection. I was impressed.

Very weird though how his run blocking was bad. Like he's the sole reason a lot of run plays messed up. Doesn't seem used to the scheme yet - especially considering he's in a whole new scheme - but something I think is coachable. He was very good at run blocking in 2015, so I doubt this will be a lingering issue for much longer.

That's why I'm leaving him as an unknown.  This group is gelling nicely if we can just get consistent play out of Matt we are going to be a tough out.
