"Thomas steps into Lions week with a clear brief, fill in for Tyler Guyton and keep the left edge boring each snap at a time. Dallas owns a 66% team Pass Block Win Rate (12th) and 72% Run Block Win Rate (12th), that's a steady platform for a young tackle having to fill in for injury. Detroit, meanwhile, sits 28th in Pass Rush Win Rate (31%) and 30th in Run Stop Win Rate (28%), which says they're a pressure-without-the-finish defense."
"Individually, Thomas has looked like a credible swing tackle who's earning trust. Across the season he's logged 199 offensive snaps, 176 at left tackle and 23 on the right. In that time he's registered two penalties and one sack allowed, showing he can step in for Tyler Guyton without a big drop in protection. This is not hype either. The coaches credited him for a composed spot start against Kansas City and for holding up in true pass sets when Dallas needed him."
Thomas entered Lions week as the emergency left tackle, tasked with replacing Tyler Guyton and maintaining consistent edge play. He logged 199 offensive snaps this season — 176 at left tackle and 23 on the right — with two penalties and one sack allowed. Dallas provides a steady platform with a 66% team Pass Block Win Rate (12th) and 72% Run Block Win Rate (12th). Detroit ranks 28th in Pass Rush Win Rate and 30th in Run Stop Win Rate, generating abundant pressure but relatively few sacks (four in four games) as offenses average 2.99-second releases. Coaches noted Thomas's composed spot start and effectiveness in true pass sets.
