Joe Thomas has great footwork, a wide base, and stellar balance. His kick-slide is tremendously fast, and he maintains a solid base throughout his block. He doesn't over commit, keeping his center of gravity over his haunches, enabling him to change directions almost instantaneously throughout the block. To top it all off, he's got tremendous upper body strength, and great football vision. Essentially, he's everything you would want in an LT, he just has to cover for Steinbach too often. The thing is, he is just as successful at blocking two people simultaneously as many LT's are at blocking just one person. I'd put Thomas up against any DE in history, and he'd block them flawlessly.
