    I've been a Browns fan all my life. I want my team to succeed. After this dreadful season I should be overjoyed that we have two pro bowl selections. Shaun Rogers definitely, but to select Joe Thomas for his performance this year is just ridiculous. It's because of his poor play that we have Ken Dorsey at QB. He started off the season ok, but the last month he has been thrown around like a rag doll by opposing defenses.

    I feel Dawson should have been the second Brown chosen.

    I don't know if you have been watching the line-play over the past month or so...but I think something is going on with Steinbach. Every time I saw JT get 'burned', he was working on an inside rusher that Steiny should have been on.

    Either the OL coach has screwed up the assignments...or JT is covering for Steiny and that opens up the outside rush.

      Steinbach has been playing hurt all season because there's no one else. Lack of depth is killing the line.

      3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

        The fact that the OP says JT has been playing poorly is ridiculous.

        When there are 3 rushers lined up on your side of the line, and only 2 of you to block them, guess what's going to happen?

        Monday night JT routinely had two men lined up directly over top of them, and him and Steinbach were the only people on the left side! No TE period! No back to chip them on their way out either.... our coaches are a disgrace.

          You must be watching the games in 3D. Joe Thomas has consistently graded out as the best lineman every week for the Browns. He has allowed a few sacks, but have you ever seen a TE on his side providing help or a back lined to his side to help chip a pass rusher. He has been on an island playing against the elite pass rushers in the NFL. To say he has been thrown around like a rag doll is just "ridiculous" as you would say.

          He has consistently provided help to Steinbech, who has been hurt and very immobile all season. Getting beat by a speed rusher on the outside isn't getting thrown around like a rag doll.

          Thomas's selection wasn't by the fans, it was by his peers and the league coaches. I would think that they have watched a little more tape on the guy then you.

            This Thomas bashing is becoming moronic.

            Get a clue people.

              Or at least add further moronic comments in one of the existing threads. Perhaps best would be to post something like this in the thread started by the board's biggest griefer/moron Ghoolie. 😉

                    Amen 'Dawg- every time I saw JT get beat, he was helping out Steinback to the inside. You can't block two guys at once, doubly the other team's best outside speed rusher at once. Man, the offensive scheming has been abysmal. If Crennel's been calling the shots, he should have been fired weeks ago. If it's Chud, he must be drunk at gametime not to see that stuff and adapt.

                    I've seen enough of Dorsey to say him and Cribbs should be splitting offensive series. Why they're afraid to let Cribbs throw a pass or three is mind-boggling.

                      They know come contract reno time the more he has to negotiate with the better.

                      But that would be logical.

                        I pretty much saw the same thing with Thomas(Mario Wiliams manhandled him and Eagles worked him over this week and he didn't exactly slow down Kearse last week) and indeed Dawson was more deserving than most kickers.........including Gost

                          Again, you mean the same Mario Williams who finished that game w/ 1 tackle and ZERO sack?!?!?!?

                          Oh, and if so man handled this year, its funny that one source credits him with giving up ZERO sacks all season http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player?statsId=8257

                                Hey guys, don't get me wrong. I like Joe Thomas. I am glad we drafted him. I just think he has not played at a Pro Bowl caliber this year. Last year yes, but not this year. I've seen alot of the games on TV this season (we don't get many Browns games telecast down here in Virginia. It's all Redskins here), and every game the commentators mentioned how JT was playing below average.

                                I'm sure the injury to Steinbach aggravated things, but I think Phil Dawson would have been a more logical choice over Thomas this year.

                                Overall I am disappointed with the way both our lines have played this year. Pass protection has been ok, sometimes. Run blocking has been abysmal. The D-line is entirely non-existent except for the one man wrecking crew that is Sean Rogers. Without Rogers I think we'd be in the same boat as Detroit this season.

                                  huh? i don't get it. i mean, complete trust, following blindly, yeah, that i understand. what's a geni and who's bernie madow? do you mean bernie madoff? because getting shit wrong all the time definitely lends credence to your argument.

                                    I pretty much saw the same thing with Thomas(Mario Wiliams manhandled him and Eagles worked him over this week and he didn't exactly slow down Kearse last week) and indeed Dawson was more deserving than most kickers.........including Gost

                                    Again, you mean the same Mario Williams who finished that game w/ 1 tackle and ZERO sack?!?!?!?

                                    Oh, and if so man handled this year, its funny that one source credits him with giving up ZERO sacks all season http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player?statsId=8257

                                    Man, you got to consider the source of who is flapping his jaws. Him and his moron buddy have been thrown out of here and other websites on a regular basis. These morons ruined a very good ABJ Browns Board with this same non-sense.

                                    You got to consider the sourse. Arguing with them is just feeding the fire.

                                      Oh I know who they are. I was MIKMAS on the ABJ and all to familiar with them.

                                      Sometimes it's just fun to poke holes in their non-sense.

                                        huh? i don't get it. i mean, complete trust, following blindly, yeah, that i understand. what's a geni and who's bernie madow? do you mean bernie madoff? because getting shit wrong all the time definitely lends credence to your argument.

                                        We need WR's and RB's and maybe even a QB as priorities........and then a whole defense because we have no defense...............

                                          Did you notice how you resorted to name calling and avoided the fact the Mario Williams had 1 tackle and zero sacks against Thomas, who you claimed got man handled by Williams?
