I don't think its been discussed yet, but Thomas had a block on Sunday where he took a defensive player and used him as a billiard ball to block another defensive player. It was fucking awesome and it looked intentional. Yeah the great thing about Thomas and Neal is they seem like smart, savvy players, not just physically talented.

I thought Hernandez was a steal where we got him and truth was most thought we over reached on Flowers that early. Hernandez looked like a bad motherfucker Flowers was just bad.

Pass protection in the pros requires a ton of coaching and learning technique, not easy It takes a one to three years for those who pass protect and run block to relearn the game in the pros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, embarrassingly bad. I think he lost every pass rep. I can't recall seeing him win once. lol, and I was half asleep when I posted about Ezudu.. it was Neal I was thinking of who had *one* Hernandez rep. Ezudu had several. Neal was very up and down. Even when he lost, he's so big he is able to keep hands on and not embarrass himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 He’s a good reminder not to panic if Neal doesn’t get it right away. It’s just so nice to seemingly have at least ONE top o-lineman after all these awful years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Rewatched the game on all-22...which is sweet by the way...but Neal was sketchier than it seemed when I first watched live. On every play, pass or run, he lets guys come to him. Doesn't seek out contact at all...like not one play. When contact is made, it's brief. He throws a guy to the side or a guy bounces off him...but those guys at times went on to make the tackle or create pressure. It is a first game, so this is not to create panic or claim he is any sort of disappointment. Rather just to highlight some things he needs to work on. 1. Drive blocking...create a push and keep the legs moving. 2. Seek contact. Go after your responsibility...make them react to you, not the other way around. 2a. Maintain balance. This could be reason for not moving forward and being somewhat stationary...but DEs are too savvy and can work around a statue...even if that statue is strong as hell. 3. Maintain the block without holding. Don't let guys shed quite so easily. Things are very correctable, but just some observations on my part.

CrazedDogs Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think you can boil down the holes in Neal's game to a lack of coordination between his hands and feet. That will improve with time. Neal may still be growing into his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was drafted.. I thought, need to work on his passblocking. But for sure hes going to be a monster in the running game. Boy, was I wrong.

boohyah Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Put in perspective for now. The kid drafted before Neal was terrible sunday. I think we have 4 pieces here for the next few years. The 2 rookies will get better. Thomas could be pro bowl level now and Glowinski is a decent veteran presence. Feliciano looks like he's center for the rest of the year but we need to address this next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Glowinkski looks okay, but leaky at times. Feliciano and Bredeson/The Rook are very leaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power, size, and athleticism are all there, but so is the leaning and poor balance. There were pass sets where he'd get beaten as well, but get a big hand on the defender and still manage to take him out of the play. I think a more accurate barometer will be after the midpoint of the season... let's see how he looks with some decent NFL coaching. He's got a chance to be a really good one.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I agree with Seph It is early first time with pro coaching He survived and thrived in university on being a monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 It's too early to be concerned about Neal. NFL pass blocking is harder than run blocking. Thomas too was bad at first as well. I'm confident Neal can put it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
