So according to Google image search, that guy over there is Joe Thomas. I guess that makes sense, because from what I know about Wisconsin- those guys like to drink. And from what I know about fishing- those guys like to drink too. It's a marriage made in heaven! He seems a little skinny for an offensive tackle, but whatever.I also know that Joe Thomas is the best offensive tackle to come out of the Big Ten since Robert Gallery, who was the best offensive tackle to come out of the Big Ten since Tony Mandarich, so you know he's got to be good. Evaluating offensive linemen always involves something like arm length or the word "nimble" and I'll have none of that here. I will note, however, that the only two decent defenses Wisconsin faced were Michigan and Arkansas, and they were atrocious on the ground against both, getting like 12 yards against one and negative 5 against the other (I looked it up once, but it took a long time, and I already spent my research time finding the picture of the guy with a fish).
At any rate- I know I suggested Brady Quinn to the Lions, but now I'm going to also suggest Joe Thomas to the Lions, because I have no credibility anyway. I think Joe Thomas will be extremely successful there, especially since Mike Martz's scheme involves nothing in the way of checkdowns, which means a plethora of QB sacks and debilitating injuries are inherently built in (see Bulger, Marc and Warner, Kurt and Green, Trent).
*note- spell check for "Martz's" comes up with "matzo's"*
*also note how much I actually know about Joe Thomas by downloading his theme song. That's really all I know about Joe Thomas. I'm a draft analyst!*
