Jt Gets Some Credit For Good Work On The Line
-
Uhm, I would say he is undoubtedly the best draft pick the Browns have made in at least 20 years or longer. In fact, looking at the Browns drafts, he may be the best since they drafted BK in the supplemental draft in 1985. The only ones that might arguably be up there are Eric Turner in 1991, Eric Metcalf in 1989, Michael Dean Perry in 1988, and Webster Slaughter in 1986. And truthfully, I put JT above all those. Fair to say? Really. Can anyone think of any other candidates?
TIM COUCH!

Honestly, since the Browns were reactivated in 1999, TC is probably the 2d or 3rd best choice they have made in that time.
He was more productive for this team than Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren, William Green, Kellen Winslow, Braylon Edwards, Kameron Wimbley, Brady Quinn, etc. etc. etc.

I read a Canton Repository article on Joe Thomas - he was talking about how Mangini ran them so hard in practices etc, that they
were getting beat up a lot. He wasn't complaining, just admitting and laughing about it.
Cribbs speaks so highly of him - we need a whole team of guys like them...
and this FO and coaching staff is getting there - the last two drafts have made a huge difference that way.

I remember during the 2006 college football season when everyone was saying that the Browns needed to get Adrian Peterson or a QB. I was the only person I knew who said that they should get Thomas. He was a stud then and I had a feeling that he would be something special.

El Wrongo - I think Zombo and I started Camp Thomas....
Several of us probably did. It was an excellent pick, and years overdue.
I think it was Rich who insisted that football was invented to be played
without offensive linemen.... @@

Rich probably prefers soccer...or ice dancing.
I note here that it has been stated by Howie, originator of this thread, that the reason he became attracted to "American football" over even rugby is because it allows for blocking. Rugby doesn't. And who is gonna block of you don't have O linemen?

Who was it that said that "the game is about blocking and tackling"? None other than Vince Lombardi.
See this photo of the famous "Seven Blocks of Granite" of Fordham University. Identify the guy wearing #40:
I have a feeling that guy knew what he was talking about.

You are absolutely right. I love rugby but you can't throw blocks to aid the guy with the ball in open play. That's what I loved the first time I watched football. I love the way that JT can often be seen shedding a guy on a running play and throw blocks in 10 20 yards out from the line of scrimmage. He's often the first to high five the scorer in the end zone. If hated Allen can say he hates coming up against JT you know you have a beady at LT. I hope JT is a brown for hid entire caterer. Especially when we win the superbowl on the fiftieth anniversary of our last championship. You heard it here. I had a vision lady night! H.

Although my credits don't reflect it, I've been a member of this board since around 2005.
I was one of those who kept suggesting that the Browns draft Thomas... I was one of the charter members of the Joe Thomas camp..
It may have been the only time I was correct on this board (just kidding of course)..
Peace
