Browns locker room is a mess (twitter report)
-
Hold on here a second, we give up 423 yards, 9 of 12 3rd down conversions and Seattle scores on 6 of their 7 possessions and the Browns give out a defensive player of the game award?
Pretty soon we might as well just give everyone "The Participation" trophy!!!

didn't we do a pretty good job in rush D though? Against the best rushing team in the NFL weren't they? Or at least in top 3?

Yeah Tom- that's why you're smarter than every GM in the NFL- those guys draft left tackles in the first round every damn year.

Denver did offer their 1st and 2nd round picks though.

At one point on Tuesday, the Browns were seeking two first-round picks in order to part with their All-Pro blindside protector. However, according to ESPN's Dianna Marie Russini, the potential deal would have sent Thomas and a fourth-round pick to Denver for the Broncos' first- and second-round picks in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Then there was this story of which I wasn't aware...

I know it's convenient and sassy to say the Browns offered up Joe Thomas, but no, they
did not, that would send them backwards on the field, and even more backward
in the lockerroom.
Seriously, ya need to watch the Joe Thomas interviews with his teammates, he's really
respected by them, bigtime. Sure, Denver probably inquired, all sorts of inquiries
happen...
but not even Farmer is dumb enough to try to initiate it.

A belt that says "this guy competed his ass off" is a far cry from a participation trophy.

I guess I'm old school but if you need a belt as a reward to do your job there's the fucking door. I want players who sole purpose is to be awesome fucking football players, dominate their opponent, win games, go to the playoffs and compete for championships. The NFL isn't measured in belts and necklaces, it's measured in wins and losses, fucking Browns. I wonder how many times John Randle wore the player of the week belt. Hey Danny heres a novel fucking idea, show up more than once every 4 weeks.
-
I chose to follow the Browns as a hobby. It seemed too easy to pick an obvious team like the Pats or Cowboys. I wanted to pick a team that hasn't won a SB. Reading this hurts my eyes.

Nonetheless, the poster is absolutely correct. The fucking Browns lose, and the next day Joe Thomas in on TV telling jokes and hi-fiving people.
NOBODY will address the truth.
BEFORE the Browns drafted Joe Thomas, they were a perennial 4 - 12 team.
AFTER the Browns drafted Joe Thomas, they remained a 4 - 12 team.
What the fuck kind of a football player goes to the mother fucking HOF, without making ONE SINGLE MEASURABLE contribution to winning? Get pissed off all you want, assholes, but the lard-ass mother fucker has not done one-single thing you can point to that has helped the team. Putting him along side Jim Brown?
IF ANYONE here is sucking cocks, it is Gippier and company sucking Joe Thomas's cock.I take it back, JT isn't the Putney Swope of NFL players, he is the fucking BARNEY FIFE of NFL players. His name should be FREE RIDE. He is a fucking affirmative action personality. He doesn't do jack shit, but because the Browns have no players that could play on any NFL playoff team, announcers have to make bullshit up. So they tell you how great JT is... and YOU cocksuckers eat it up, despite there being no logic behind it.
Don't accuse someone else of being a cocksucker when your have a tatoo on your head that says " DON'T GRAB MY EARS I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING".
You have one valid point that a great LT on a shitty team is basically useless. For all the individual accolades given by many in here, and on PFF, to the OL I didn't see back to back games where the QB wasn't getting killed or running for his life. There weren't back to back games where the offense ran the ball like teams do to the Browns. But "true" Browns fans need to have a feeling like there is some worth on the team and the defense that everyone thought was going to be the 85 Bears in August sucks so they have to hang their hats on something, the OL is that something.

As for the dog bones... just like with Buckeye leaves... win, lose or tie, there are good plays made and it's good to see them recognized.

We did real well gave up a season high in rushing yards and first downs.didn't we do a pretty good job in rush D though? Against the best rushing team in the NFL weren't they? Or at least in top 3?

It is what it is. How do you expect a locker room to be when you struggle to win 3 fucking games? We can turn this around IN HOUSE, give Pettine 1 more year but send Farmer on the first Donkey to Mexico.

You have one valid point that a great LT on a shitty team is basically useless. For all the individual accolades given by many in here, and on PFF, to the OL I didn't see back to back games where the QB wasn't getting killed or running for his life. There weren't back to back games where the offense ran the ball like teams do to the Browns. But "true" Browns fans need to have a feeling like there is some worth on the team and the defense that everyone thought was going to be the 85 Bears in August sucks so they have to hang their hats on something, the OL is that something.

i'd like to see the stats on how many of those 'QB kills' and 'rushes squashed' were to the left side and were JTs fault?
all the haters might not want to admit it but every GM in the game and anyone that knows anything about football knows that good LT is as important as the guy he's protecting. and we have a great one.

Well said. You know, we've had a lot of disappointing draft picks and FAs showing up here with best football in the rear view mirror. To read Joe Thomas was a bad pick after performing like a Pro Bowl Tackle on the blind side for all of his 1st 9 years here is absurd.
I say such a thing remembering what the blind side of QB looked like with Shaffer and Andruzzi trying to protect it before Joe Thomas and Eric Steinbach upgraded it considerably. A career backup like DA threw 29 TD passes here and we went 10-6 while we also had a RB Baltimore gave up on rushing for 1300 yards on the ground the very first year of upgrade.
Our FO's inability to research Aaron Rodgers or Ben Rapen to the extent they had any idea of what they projected is not Joe's fault.The year Savage told us Braylon was the safest pick was the year we could have traded back and added picks to draft Aaron Rodgers or at least explored such a thing. The year Ben was drafted, we traded up 1 or 2 spots to add Kellen Winslow instead of back (possibly adding a pick to draft Roethlisberger) when the plan at QB was only Charlie Frye. As fans, we can get this stuff wrong. The FO cannot get it wrong.
Passing the football in 2015 has been the least of all evils or we're not looking at guys like Travis Benjamin and Gary Barnidge having great years all the while Josh McCown changed a lot of minds. Manziel looks much improved as well. He looks further along than Blake Bortles looked when he was just 8 starts old or so at 24 years of age. Jax wasn't drafting 3rd overall in 2015 because 2014 went off without growing pains of an experienced passer.

The point isn't JT isn't very good it's that the OL is more than just one player and must be evaluated as a whole. As a whole the Browns offensive line is mediocre.

Sacks aren't always on the OL and neither are minimized runs...
I guess I'm old school but if you need a belt as a reward to do your job there's the fucking door.
It's called positive reinforcement.
Since it seems it was Danny's first award, I think it is safe to assume he did not "need" a reward to show up vs. the Seahawks.
Can't find a list of belt winners, but I think it is safe to assume that there have been a couple weeks when none was handed out, e.g., the 2nd Bengals game.
As for the dog bones... just like with Buckeye leaves... win, lose or tie, there are good plays made and it's good to see them recognized.

I like Pettine when he says the "NFL is a bottom line business", this isn't your local Nissan dealership. College kids get stickers, NFL players get paychecks.

Glad to see Tour posted the article about the belt, cause it's pretty unfair to attack Shelton for winning an award.....
But.....considering it was Walter......Im not surprised.....

Right.....in fact.....out of the 46 sacks the team has taken, the adjusted grades have the OL allowing just 16 of them

.....and Joe Thomas is credited with allowing only 2.....(which is priceless).....
And our terrible run game?......averages 2.8 yards per carry, except over LT/LG, where the average is 4.5 ypc....
