Charlie Thomas

Yeah we were cheering his name every time we saw him in on a play. Which was a lot.

Hope he’s not too banged up after all the hits he delivered last night. Need him full strength for Pitt.

Thomas played an amazing game. So disruptive.

Quez Jackson deserves a lot of props too. He was a tackling machine.

I wanted to be pissed about him sharing it but holy crap 19 tackles.

I think Thomas is the main reason we’ve been running as much 3-3-5 as we have. Nothing against the interior DL but Thomas, Jackson and Eley are all better playmakers. We usually rush one of them anyway.

 

[Tshirt Man]

I saw a lot of concerns/negative comments about our linebackers over the off-season. Hard to believe we now have three that we want on the field every play. I'm been impressed with all three so far.

Charlie is deserving of All-ACC at this point.

I do think the DL is playing the best it has in about a decade and it is contributing to the LBs making plays.

Tie-breaker:

Thomas = winning effort
Spector = losing effort

Thomas wins.

There are three linebackers are leading the team in tackles. Seems like it's generally been the DBs leading the way in recent seasons. I'd say that's a good sign.

Yep. LBs look a lot better then the DL can hold it own.
That said, with Thomas and Eley we are much bigger/faster than I can remember in a long time at LB

Don't diss DL. They are keeping the LB's clean, which did not always happen in the past.

I think you misunderstood, it looks like he's attributing the improved LB play, in part, to improved DL play.

Yea. DL playing well frees up our LB to make plays.
Hard for LBs to play well if a DT is getting pushed in their lap, or a offensive gaurd is getting on the LB 3 yards downfield.
DL play has been the key to our success the last two weeks. Even more impressive that they are holding their own with a 3 man front

It's not too bad depending on situation you can squeeze your DL to fit the need... obvious run downs can be a heavier DL across board in 3-3-5 we got several DTs in the 280-300 range that fit fine in a DE set at times
