Andrew Thomas 'frustrated' with Giants offensive line despite win
Share and Follow

Andrew Thomas might be expected to overlook errors for the satisfaction of achieving a win—something that’s happened only seven times in the last 750 days. 

You’d be wrong. 

The experienced left tackle, however, has faced too many losses where the offensive line was blamed, making it hard to ignore the six sacks allowed on Sunday, the average of 3.8 yards per carry, and two penalties in the red zone (holding called on center John Michael Schmitz Jr. and a false start by right guard Greg Van Roten), despite the Giants’ victory over the Chargers. 

“It was fantastic to finally secure a win,” Thomas stated. “But as an offensive lineman, I’m personally frustrated. We could have executed better in the red zone. We had four minutes to [run out the clock] and secure the game. I believe we’ll need to focus on this as the season progresses.” 

Thomas, who has missed 20 of the past 38 games due to injuries, played all 76 offensive snaps against the Chargers.

One week earlier, he was on a 25-snap cap in his season debut and there was no stepping stone before reaching 76 on Jaxson Dart’s blind side.

“I think he came out of it fine,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s sore, just like everybody else. It was a physical game against a physical team. We knew he would play the whole game unless he needed to come out. He kind of hit checkpoints along the way through his rehab process. It was good to have him out here.” 

Thomas has been his usual stonewalling self — with zero quarterback pressures allowed — since returning. He tipped his cap to the Giants defensive front (12 quarterback hits, two sacks and an interception) but wants it to go both ways. 



“I want us to be dominant as well,” Thomas said. “I want us to be able to run the ball when we want to, and protect and allow Jaxson to get the ball to the receivers. Who knows where our team can go from there if we can continue to do that?” 


Dart is expected to practice Wednesday despite how gingerly he was walking around the postgame locker room after taking a slew of hits.

“He’s doing good,” Daboll said. 


S Tyler Nubin stood up in a team meeting and owned the bad tackling angle that he took to allow Javonte Williams’ touchdown run against the Cowboys in Week 2. 



“[Accountability] is always important to me,” Nubin told The Post recently. “One of my biggest things is I don’t ever want to let my teammates down. My job as a safety is to be there to put the fire out.” 

Nubin took another bad angle on a 54-yard touchdown run by the Chargers’ Omarion Hampton.
