“#Giants\u2019 Andrew Thomas may be at rock bottom with alarming stat<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n A benching wasn\u2019t rock bottom for Andrew Thomas.<\/p>\n

So, what will be? And when?<\/p>\n

The rookie offensive tackle returned to the Giants\u2019 starting lineup Thursday against the Eagles and quickly looked better suited for resuming his position on the sideline, earned four days earlier as punishment for being late to a team meeting. A frustrated fan base already is drawing dreaded comparisons to Ereck Flowers, the last offensive lineman drafted in the first round by the Giants, and their biggest bust of the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Thomas, 21, allowed two sacks and six quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus, but the more eye-popping analytical measurement comes from ESPN: He had a 43.8 percent pass-block win rate \u2014 about half the league average for offensive tackles.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew is a good guy to build with,\u201d coach Joe Judge said. \u201cWe have a lot of plans long-term with Andrew. He\u2019s the kind of guy we want to work with, both physically and his personality off the field. We have a lot of confidence in Andrew. We\u2019re going to keep working with him and developing him going forward. I fully expect Andrew to have a very productive, long career in this league.\u201d<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t sound as if NFL Network draft analyst Bucky Brooks buys the vote of confidence. Brooks \u2014 a former NFL player and a scout for two organizations \u2014 described Thomas as a \u201c10-year starter\u201d before the draft and later as a \u201csafe pick\u201d for the Giants. Now?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Giants must be concerned about Andrew Thomas and his struggles,\u201d Brooks wrote on Twitter<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s having a tough time holding up in [one-on-ones] on the edge. As the No. 4 overall pick, you expect him to be a \u2018plug-and-play\u2019 prospect. He\u2019s only six game<\/a>s into his career, but he\u2019s not playing like it.\u201d<\/p>\n
