Once again, Joe Thomas has been named to the All Pro Team. He didn't have his best year in 2010, but this just shows the respect he has earned throughout the league. Now, the Browns need to get a strong RT in the draft to form bookends on the OL for years to come. Add in Pro Bowler Alex Mack and the core of the OL could turn out to be something special.

let's make Joe happy and draft Carimi for RT. Too old school Wisconsin buddies as bookend tackles.
Congrats Joe. Stay in Clevleand your whole career.

Even in a "down year" he's still one of the best LTs in the game. Outside of his horrible game against ATL this yr, I dont think I've ever seen him play even decent, its always top notch.

Congratultions Joe and Alex! Joe Hang in there Buddy, I know things haven't been exactly the best around here for you, but we will get there. I hope the Packers being in the SuperBowl doesn't spawn thoughts of going home.
On another note. I am disapointed that Hillis wasn't chosen. Did anyone do more with less? The guy was like third in the league in yards from scrimmage I believe. With no vertical game and teams stacking the box he still mauled. Arian Foster had Schaub and Andre Johnson. Hillis had Delhomme, Wallace, a Rookie and Robiskie. It's a shame.

Not saying Hillis didn't deserve to go, but Foster for sure deserved to go this year.... Foster had an unreal season... only RB to average over 100 yards per game
not sure what Hillis' yards from scrimmage were but in terms of rushing yards he was 11th in the league.... the three RBs that made the AFC roster were in the top 4 in total yards...
I think Hillis has potential to be an All-Pro but needs to be more consistent throughout the season... he ahd ten games throughout the season with under 70 yards... some of it was we weren't using him enough or injuries, but to be an All-Pro he'll have to get more consistent...

You are right. I just checked I thought he was higher. Also he had an inordinate amount of fumbles. He averaged 104 yards a game.

Congratulations, Joe! Hopefully the rest of the team will grow to your caliber, and we'll win enough games, division titles, conference championships and Super Bowls to keep you around a long time.

absolutely, especially when you realize that we basically got Joe, Hillis and a couple of late picks to go with ..
