Not really hard to grasp though, play against an anemic Marty offense, get the lead, and run the football to the opposite side of where Thomas is lined up.
Hell I don't even think DT played in the second half of his AFCCG because we were so far behind and they were feeding Thurman Thomas every series in that 30-13 loss.
So there's 2 sides of the fence here.
Goose egg on the stat sheet crowd, and the "hidden stats" crowd.
But generally, no. DT was not the same force in the post season that he was in regular season, at least on the stat sheet.

Umm.. Thomas had tackles in the postseason.... You don't see any before 1994 because it wasn't logged as a stat. Also he had 4 in 94, and 5 in 95, after they were being logged.
And yes, you are correct that he was not rushing the passer when our lack of an offense was awful and we were stuck playin Run D for essentially 3 quarters while our offense was incapable of doing anything worthwhile.
