Great news! How did he get in? Somebody back out because of injury?

Looks like he is replacing Buffalo's Jason Peters, who dropped out due to injury.

Good for Joe! Now if a couple of NFC people would drop out, maybe a couple more of our boys could go. Anyone know if Brett's decided to go play in Hawaii or if he's just gonna stay home again?

Welcome to the forum. I love that show BTW.

Thank you, I've been a long time lurker, decided it's finally time I started posting.Welcome man, you ready for playoff Saturday?

[gobias]

I am very ready. That Lambeau parking lot is just screaming my name. The 3:30 start is going to make the pregame all the better, which should make the game all the better as well.

Thomas was probably the best pick in the first round.

No doubt about it. If he stays healthy, you could easily see that guy be a dominant force for 10 years or so. I give AP and his upright style about 3 years max.

Thompson loved Joe Thomas. Typically, Thompson won't say much about a player, but I remember he was asked about Joe Thomas and TT said "Joe Thomas is a great football player. He's going to be good for a long time" or something close to that. It was a while ago, so all I can really attest to is that TT went out of his way to praise him.

Nah. Justin Harrell, hands down.

Sweet -- one of the great bits of all time, or at least it seemed so at the time. Vintage old school, bro.

Thomas was such a big part of the Browns success. The OL went from giving up almost 50 sacks last year to only 17 this year. I don't know if I've ever seen a rookie step into the LT role and be that good right out of the gate. We all knew he was good, but damn!

[gobias]

I can't say for sure that he finished the year this way, but with like two games to go in the season he hadn't given up a sack in one on one coverage all season. That's unbelievable for any player, but a rookie!?!?
