He got a few right at right tackle for Terence Steele and when Guyton went down, Thomas finished the game at left tackle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cHe did a pretty good job when he got in there,\u201d offensive coordinator Klayton Adams said. \u201cHe\u2019s been able to take some good, quality reps this week as well. One of the things that\u2019s unique about Nate, for the situation that he\u2019s in, Nate basically took every single rep at tackle during training camp with the starters. So I felt like he had a ton of room to grow and he got some good reps in the preseason games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cWhen he got in there and played well and was able to be pretty firm in pass protection and didn\u2019t really blink I wasn\u2019t surprised by that.
