He&#8217;s one of our best players, one of our most consistent players,&#8221; Belichick said of Thuney in November of 2018, and those words still ring true today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 62.500%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/n27grd\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A former left tackle in college, Thuney brings the foot speed and redirect skills of a tackle to the guard position. On the two reps against All-Pro Aaron Donald above, you can see Thuney&#8217;s tremendous posture, foot speed, core strength and balance, and independent hand usage as he wins back-to-back reps against the two-time Defensive Player of the Year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.367%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/ylokut\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The area Thuney&#8217;s game that has improved the most is his ability to anchor against power rushers. He&#8217;s giving up 30 pounds to Bengals defensive tackle Andrew Billings here, but still drops his anchor and holds his block long enough for N&#8217;Keal Harry to work himself open. His base is always sturdy, he plays with excellent pad level and leverage, and he actively resets his hands to keep himself square on his blocks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Along with being tremendous in one-on-ones, Thuney&#8217;s awareness and skill to pick up stunting defensive linemen or blitzers from all directions show incredible savvy at the guard position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 62.500%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/cee2el\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In these two clips, Thuney passes off an interior stunt (T\/T) with center Ted Karras and a T\/E stunt alongside left tackle Isaiah Wynn with ease as he transitions his weight and hands to remain balanced and square.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 62.500%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/7b0au1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even when defenses try to confuse him, Thuney still sniffs out the pressure scheme. On the play above, the Cowboys line up two rushers over the left side of the line. Knowing he has inside help from center Ted Karras, Thuney comes off his initial engagement to pick up the rusher off the edge in enough time to keep Tom Brady clean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Pats left guard&#8217;s prowess doesn&#8217;t stop with pass protection, Thuney is also an elite blocker in space due to his athleticism, awareness, and precision on the move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.367%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/dacerm\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On this screen pass that goes for a touchdown, Thuney must decide who to engage once he gets to the second level with two threats to ball carrier James White. As he gets downfield, Thuney sees Karras taking the first of two second-level threats, so he gets on his horse to block the safety and spring White for a score. Thuney&#8217;s play speed, recognition, and ability to get a chunk of the safety on the block here is excellent work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 62.500%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/garf5y\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, there&#8217;s Thuney&#8217;s precise and quick pulls from his guard spot. Shaq Mason might be a more powerful run blocker, but Thuney&#8217;s agility and accuracy on his pulls are tremendous. Above, the Pats run one-back power from the gun and get a great double team on the right side. Thuney then pulls to the MIKE on the second level, and once again, you see the play speed and perfect body-positioning to lead the way for Rex Burkhead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Patriots were unable to reach a contract extension with the second-team All-Pro before Wednesday&#8217;s deadline, meaning he&#8217;ll play the 2020 season on the franchise tag or be traded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although trading Thuney clears nearly $14.8 million in cap space this season, locking up one of their best players long term should be a priority for Belichick and company next offseason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At that point, the Patriots should have plenty of cap space to absorb a lucrative deal for their starting left guard, who exemplifies everything New England wants in a player.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few players have improved year-to-year while being remarkably durable quite like Patriots left guard Joe Thuney, which is why he makes his first-ever appearance on our list.\u00a0 Since the Patriots drafted him in 2016, Thuney has only missed 34 snaps in four seasons, starting all 74 games, including playoffs, and has developed into one of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":131993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[207,389,210],"class_list":["post-54981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-bill-belichick","tag-joe-thuney","tag-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
