Meeting your quarterback for the first time in the huddle during a game is the most Browns thing ever. 😂
Facts. Comedy.
Lathan Starnes Tyler Cherubini should be a browns quarterback. “Coach I can get it done” I know you can, Not Now
This just happened a few months ago
Baker did it in his playoff game 💁🏾♂️💁🏾♂️💁🏾♂️
Hey guys what’s up? Oh by the way I’m the QB of the team it’s nice to meet y’all I know we’re in the huddle but I figured it’s a good time to introduce myself and for y’all to get to know me.”
Graham is a wonderful example of sports journalism at its prime. He dosent interrupt the person he is interviewing, he lets them talk, and doesn't try and craft his own agenda. Wonderful stuff Graham!
I agree. Good observation. Unfortunately, I believe he's the exception.
yep
I agree
lets say the person you are interviewing is clearly lying. do you expect the journalist to stay silent?
@@avalsonline2 What a smart journalist does is let them finish then ask more challenging questions to try to find inconsistencies
The Broncos were OBSESSED with landing Joe Thomas, especially after Peyton Manning signed. Thomas never budged. Dude is a legend.
The man's biggest virtue was loyalty. He never wanted to leave Cleveland under any circumstances. Any other player would give everything to play for Peyton. Thomas deserved a ring, even just one playoff game. Still, the man loved Cleveland and stuck to his team. That's loyalty.
Joe Thomas is a GREAT player man. I believe what he's saying 100%.
first ballot hof
Wisconsin!!
He seems like such a down to earth and humble person. Too bad his talent was wasted in the NFL Chernobyl.
Detroit would be the same.
Right well spoken with knowledge of the game
Just because he never won a ring doesn’t mean it was “wasted”. He’s a sure fire hall of hamer and one of the absolute best linemen ever
@@bigpapi6688 it sucks that unarguably one of the greatest lineman in the history of the fucking sport never came close to the playoffs. Such a damn shame. the guy was a beast
Exact same read i got. Completely balanced, yet an absolute warrior on the field. HOF through and through.
"I'm your left tackle, he proceeded to get sacked on the next play" that was hilarious
He fumbled too lolol
2:25 "We were out of the playoffs" says it so casual as if the browns have made it to the playoffs in the last decade 😂. I love Joe. The best. Underrated.
He has an interview where he says "So it's week three, we've already been eliminated from playoff contention..."
DirtySouthSideEnt playing for the Browns has to just mentally change competitive athletes
10600 consecutive snaps (most in history) as of his tricep injury last week :(
You're still a bitch
How is he underrated?
Graham you're the fucking man. You should try to get an interview with tiger!
hes probabaly the realest player in the nfl
no.

“Going out for drinks with friends” that’s one way to describe Manziel.
friends and another 25 hangers-on..
Drinks and another 25 drugs...

Everyone wishes they had Joe on their team. This is why sports are so great, so many characters like this guy
Bet Joe wished he had Brady lol
I have a lot of respect for Joe Thomas. He was a consummate professional for his entire career. Highly intelligent dude.
He is a generational tackle the best I have seen play at his consistency. He should go into broadcasting or acting after he retires
I’m genuinely wondering how you hear “NFL left tackle”and think “yeah he can be an actor”
@@matthewleos71 that not what he meant fuckface, and he does do broadcast on nfl network so gfy
Bro why would an nfl tackle become an actor, that’s so random.
Josh Johnson has played for almost half of the nfl teams that’s amazing 😂
The first 58 seconds illustrates why Tom Brady has the rings, and why the QB musical chairs continues for the Browns..😭
I just love Joe Thomas he's the best dude were so lucky in Cleveland to have Joe as our left tackle for so long
Graham might just be the best interviewer I have seen in years. He actually lets the person speak and he asks good question. Keeps it simple.
Great interview as always Graham, you really ask great, no softball, questions
Graham is absolutely the finest interviewer ever. Period. People open up to him unlike any other. He is trustworthy, pure, true. He’s the good stuff.
Its crazy how lean he is now compared to when he did this interview..Great OT..future HOF
His talent was completely wasted for the Browns. Sad. Joe Thomas, not Manziel.
His talent was completely wasted for him.
Johnny Sideline, simply couldn't cut it in pro ball.
Sankt Erik I’m talking about Joe Thomas, not Manziel.
Sad but the man got paid and left on his terms. Future HOF for sure 👍
I respect the hell out of Joe Thomas
😂😂😂"hey I'm Joe Thomas your left tackle"
Damn that’s some professional insight right there.
Joe Thomas was the best player on his team for his whole career. HOF for sure. Wish he’d got to play for a winner. His career would have lasted longer
Joe Thomas was a great lineman would've liked to see him play for a contender before he retired class act across the board.
Thank you.
Much love from Saitama, Japan!
yuuori

ゆうおり japanese people disgust me
Martti Tanner ok
Thomas is a brilliant guy. What insight. Very cool to listen to him
I wish Joe would go somewhere good. I'm a huge Browns fan and just seeing how loyal he is and that he wants to stay here is mildly heart breaking. It may be ironic, but as a Browns fan I feel like he has given us so much that I want to see him get a ring and I know that will never happen during his playing career while he is playing here.
starcenter323 same. I want him to get traded to a contender
as a lions fan, i can relate. its why barry and calvin quit.
bring joe to the saints
As a Raiders fan, it's the same to an extent with Seabass
as a steelers fan even i can tell they wasted his career
Joe Thomas is one awesome guy. Great personality.
You gotta love the grind...joe does
Joe is such a great player, he deserves better than the browns. wish he could have an opportunity to win a chip before he retires. #FirstBallot
If my best friends were booze and cocaine I wouldn't commit either.
I remember this guy went top 10 and went fishing instead of attending draft. Humble good guy.
Joe thomas what an awesome dude
at like 1:10 look at the size difference between Joe and Graham. Good lord Joe is just a large human
Playing football takes so much preparation, kudos to all those players that sacrifice time with family to prepare and give the fans their all
His ad-libbing made everyone love him. Without his spontaneity I doubt that as many people would have watched.
first time i have ever heard someone explain some of the difficulties of playing line.its tough blocking for multiple quarterbacks,tough blocking for quarterbacks that move around a lot in the backfield and particularly tough to block in a system that uses two quarterbacks.its a big reason why 2 qb offenses never seem to work so well.
Are you listening kirk ?????
COMMITMENT, TIME....!!!!!!!!
He would be a PERFECT Patriot!
Never gonna happen.
modetallah still doesn't change the fact that he'd make a fantastic patriot. dude deserves a ring
What a dumb fucking thing to say
If he's perfect on the Browns he'd be perfect on any team
LOSER in a winning culture?
Joe Thomas will forever be my favorite Cleveland Brown.
Joe is a wonderful man
40s-60s of commitment style. Hard work!
He's got that midwest nice personality. Great guy
Say what you will about the Browns and their woes, but that story of introducing himself to the QB in the huddle is hilarious. Although, admittedly, it’s probably easier to say as a non-Browns fan.
Josh Johnson. NFL LEGEND!
What a great guy
One of the greatest and most consistent offensive lineman to play
One of the greatest LT ever. Top 5.
He will be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
Gotta love Joe
People think Johnny is a bad dude. He's an awesome guy that has issues but he's not a terrible person
JVCKPOT good or bad, to blow an opportunity like he did was stupid...
JVCKPOT You must be an Aggie. Manziel may not be a bad guy in the same way a murderer is a bad guy, but actually compared to normal people, he's a spoiled selfish prick. Always has been, but it's his families fault, he was raised that way. His family is from my neck of the woods and it was not a surprise that he couldn't handle fame.
JVCKPOT he busted a girls eardrum
His personal charisma is in a way a course it seems, everyone wants to hang out with him
JVCKPOT you obviously do not actually know him 🤦🏻♂️
Joe Thomas is such a real one
LEGEND
All well said.
Dope, Josh Johnson is still in the league today 😂
JT is ever the pragmatist. This video is "JT philosophy 101."
What a class act!
How can you not like Joe Thomas?
Joe Thomas has played so many games . he really never missed any game his whole season. Great career hall of fame in canton ohio one day
Best Tackle of all time #handsdown
One of the best Left Tackles ever to play the Game..
Manziel is a child. Nothing more.
FU
Graham going for that mel kiper hair
Seems like a great guy
First thing he says, “Uh huh” speaks volumes. He answered very graciously. He could of just thrown tons of insults and chose not to pick low hanging fruit.
Trent Williams can say the same thing about Josh Johnson from the Niners-Eagles NFC Championship game in 2023.
Damn Johnny had it all...once in a lifetine deal & he would rather party, but hey YOLO right.
This is an honorable man.
The size difference between those two! XD
Introducing yourself in the huddle to your 5th string qb. Such a Browns story.
I feel bad for joe Thomas 😔
Joe was so good
Manziel broke the tape-watching system and was thrown right back into it. That is why he failed.
Also, every Aggie knew about Manziel's abilities before they ever hit the field. That's why they gave everything they had.
Joe Thomas was the greatest thing to happen to the browns in 20 years
I wish Jamarcus Russell could have had that commitment.
He had commitment.... he had great commitment to eating food. One of the greats.
Man was throwing 80 yards on one-knee 🤦🏾♂️
Real Brethem doesn’t matter when he can’t throw 20 accurately
@@cliffordlevy3918 he had great commitment to codeine cough syrup
Josh Johnson wow. That dudes still playing he beat my bengals this year hahaha
His career in of itself puts him in the top 10 of Olinemen in history.
Joe Thomas is the #1 guy of the last era who I wish could’ve gotten one or at least had a better shot with another team. But he was loyal to Cleveland. I don’t care who the QB is, and the browns won a SB during Joe’s years, he would’ve been the first guy they made a statue out of lol
JT is such a legend....
There should be clauses in contracts that force QBs to do all this or else they dont get paid that week.
Still can’t believe Cleveland wasted this guys entire career.
browns fan. only jersey worth wearing since they came back. joe thomas
This guy is so smart and so poised. Love 'im
Joe Thomas is one of the "nicest badasses" to ever play in the NFL and this is about as back-handed as it gets. If you can't see this is Thomas' way of saying Manziel was a complete loser while making it appear he was complimenting the guy, then JT will never make the HOF
He should be on the next NFL Roundtable
Go browns
Love Peace Happiness
Mann your team ain't any better
I personally played at Tivy. I know you have to go over the coaches head. Yes, there needs to be a play for everyone else ; however, when you have a quarterback like Manziel, you have to let him shine in his own way. That is something the Browns never did.
2:56 this is the most browns moment ever
I wonder how NFL personnel and players cope with sleep deprivation? If a Quaterback is there from 6am to 11pm there is no way he would get his 8 hours and I always though sleep is vital to an athlete's performance?
Joe Thomas has that "classic white boy" hair cut.
It's sad that offensive lineman aren't given a higher profile. Sounds like those guys have one of the hardest jobs in the league.
The O Line is why all those RBs and QBs get all that attention, Jerome Bettis was known to regularly give his O Line Rolex watches and 5 star dinners
I would've loved to have had this guy as the Packer's LT!!
Vanillazilla79 hell yea. Badger to a Packer. Not to be though...
Bills fan who loves Joe Thomas here
Look: Manziel was always an ad - libber
I'd say Manziel needed more commitment than most quarterbacks of his built. His failure in the NFL is that he couldn't out-athlete linebackers or safeties. He needed to become a real quarterback, and he probably wasn't willing to put in the time to strengthen the cerebral part of his game to make up for the deficiencies in physical ability.
Probably?
There's only 32 full-time NFL quarterbacks in the world. Fuck yeah, that is a serious ass position to hold.
Man I'm so sad Manziel never made it big in the NFL
I wanna get a Joe Thomas jersey.
