Ah is a former All-Pro and is a proven NFL commodity.
Thomas and Kelly are unproven players fighting to make the final roster, much less be a starter.
Thomas and Kelly are third string because of their inability to stay on the field (healthy) and their inconstant play on the field. Not because they are trying to get them more playing time. It is refreshing that Shanahan is going to make them earn their roster spot. Unlike Cerrato's old style of reserving spots for under performing high draft picks. Our roster will be better top to bottom under Shanahan and Allen.
At this point I don't really care if Thomas and Kelly make it or not. It is time to move on if they are not going to be consistent producers on the regular season playing field.
