Kelly unapologetically named his top 9 and Thomas wasn’t there. I was surprised Marlon Martinez wasn’t mentioned either. He proved to be a versatile guy last year. The two transfers and guys with Campbell and Dellinger’s abilities were going to be hard to break. Looks like it’s down to Bradford vs. Wire for RT with an edge to Bradford and Dumervil behind them. It’s fortunate we have 3 easy games to get the OL some experience together. It’s almost impossible to replace all 5 guys in a year. One thing is clear though, Maason Smith is going to wreck shite every week. He's even bigger than last year if that was even possible and he's been unblock-able in practice. The snap Dellinger fricked up was because Maason was in the backfield as soon as the ball was snapped.

Look at the team pic, Kardell Thomas can’t lose the unhealthy weight. He’ll be over 400 lbs when his playing days are over.

Kelly is weeding out players from the old guard.

Not sure what schedule you have, but we don’t have 3 “easy games” to start the season

I think Emery Jones might pass him up

It is.

With the '22 OL class might as well have called it then especially with this dude named Emery Jones. With what they've seen in camp and the '23 recruits... it is confirmed.

To give the guy some credit he is better. Even looks better. He'll play some, probably enough to letter but it's not enough and he's been lapped.

Really? Game #1 is easy? The kennel blindness is real.

Your text doesn't even mention Thomas' name, so why do you feel the need to shite on him in your header? Did your man-crush let you down?

And they don't seem to give any reasons why he has not performed like a 5 star....other than weight issues, what else?

Bradford will be in the starting line-up. Very likely right tackle, but If he isn’t at tackle, he will be at guard.

Take this fwiw but I don't think it's a motivation or effort problem. Thomas is a big guy and still has a very noticeable limp on the same side as the ankle that has been giving him trouble since his freshman year. The way he moves on it, looks like something he may be dealing with the rest of his life. Either that or trying to get on the field hasn't allowed him to fully rehab it. From the way it was dscribed to me, I don't think the kid has been able to go full speed ahead in anything remotely related to conditioning since he got here. He doesn't even put full weight on it when he's standing still.

From the same source that told me about Nuss being in a boot.

Also mentioned Mason Taylor would be a name to look out for after the first few practices but that was before I knew I could trust what he was telling me.

He is second string right now, so I wouldn’t say it’s over for him.

When Dellinger snapped the ball Maason Smith was either stationary, and not in the backfield, or else he was offsides. He had nothing to do with why the center screwed up the snap.
