Colts sign Donald Thomas OG (confirmed) (merge)

[Balzer40]

He played some Full Back for the Pats in short yardage. A typical Belichick thing to do but still highlights his athleticism.

 

 

I don't think FB is in his future here.

I don't think FB is in his future here.

Nor do I, a poor attempt at a joke was my intention. I like that he has the athleticism to be a lead blocker though, especially in a power man scheme.

I love this pick up, I wanted Cherilus, Thomas, Geoff Swartz, Toler, and Victor Butler, 3 out of 5 is not to bad, I'm a happy Colts fan

This is from a Pats blog, I thought it was interesting:

 

"Donald Thomas was signed by the Colts today and I think this move hurts the Pats more than people may think. Logan Mankins is one of the toughest offensive lineman in the NFL. However last year he missed a significant amount of time due to injury but because of Thomas’ great play on the inside the Pats offense hardly missed a beat."

Very good signing. Underrated player. Keep doing your thing, Grigson.

Pats fans are saying this was a great pickup for us.

Already a thread for this. Mods you can delete this.

Why don't you let the mods mod and you post

Grigson said he isn't a big name kind of guy but everybody thought he was blowing smoke.  His true gift (main reason Irsay hired him) is his ability as a talent evaluator.

Really wish New England hadn't let Donald Thomas slip away. He is a hell of an offensive lineman (and had a better year than Logan Mankins).
