Andrew Thomas ‘frustrated’ with Giants offensive line despite win

You might think that Andrew Thomas would be willing to overlook mistakes for the joy of being part of a win for just the seventh time in the past 750 days. 

You’d be wrong. 

The veteran left tackle has been part of too many losses in which the offensive line shouldered the blame to ignore Sunday’s six sacks allowed, a mediocre 3.8 yards per carry and two red-zone penalties (holding on center John Michael Schmitz Jr. and a false start on right guard Greg Van Roten) just because the Giants defeated the Chargers. 

“It felt great to finally get a win,” Thomas said. “Selfishly, as an offensive lineman, I’m frustrated. We could’ve finished better in the red zone. We got four minutes to [run out the clock] and win the game. I think we’ll need that down the stretch.” 

Thomas, who has missed 20 of the past 38 games due to injuries, played all 76 offensive snaps against the Chargers.

One week earlier, he was on a 25-snap cap in his season debut and there was no stepping stone before reaching 76 on Jaxson Dart’s blind side. 

“I think he came out of it fine,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s sore, just like everybody else. It was a physical game against a physical team. We knew he would play the whole game unless he needed to come out. He kind of hit checkpoints along the way through his rehab process. It was good to have him out here.” 

Thomas has been his usual stonewalling self — with zero quarterback pressures allowed — since returning. He tipped his cap to the Giants defensive front (12 quarterback hits, two sacks and an interception) but wants it to go both ways.

“I want us to be dominant as well,” Thomas said. “I want us to be able to run the ball when we want to, and protect and allow Jaxson to get the ball to the receivers. Who knows where our team can go from there if we can continue to do that?”

Dart is expected to practice Wednesday despite how gingerly he was walking around the postgame locker room after taking a slew of hits. 

“He’s doing good,” Daboll said.

S Tyler Nubin stood up in a team meeting and owned the bad tackling angle that he took to allow Javonte Williams’ touchdown run against the Cowboys in Week 2.

“[Accountability] is always important to me,” Nubin told The Post recently. “One of my biggest things is I don’t ever want to let my teammates down. My job as a safety is to be there to put the fire out.” 

Nubin took another bad angle on a 54-yard touchdown run by the Chargers’ Omarion Hampton.
