BEREA, Ohio -- When he's on the field, Joe Thomas never sees the football.
Well, almost never.
"Sometimes I take a quick peek right before the ball is snapped," said the Browns star left tackle.
The football world of Joe Thomas rarely includes the ball.
"I can't see the quarterback," he said. "I can't see the running back. I can't see the receivers. I know it's either a pass or a running play, but I usually don't know what happened until I hear the crowd."
And if the crowd is really loud?
"I know something really good or really bad happened," he said.
