Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas celebrated his 10,000th consecutive snap last week in a 24-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Despite the poor start by the Browns, Thomas again remains the constant for that team on offense, anchoring an O-line that has had more quarterbacks than Taylor Swift has boyfriends.

But Thomas has been optimistic about the direction the team is headed, speaking about the maturation of rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer and how much he admires head coach Hue Jackson.

Still, much of the team’s success on offense will still fall on the shoulders of Thomas and the line, especially when it comes to the rushing game. Thomas, for his part, gave reporters a bit of a lesson when it comes to rushing stats, and spoke about how the only stat the matters when it comes to rushing is rushing efficiency.

Take a look at Thomas’s explanation below. It’s well worth it.

The Browns take to the road again this week, this time to Indianapolis to face the Andrew Luck-less Colts. Cleveland currently sits at 0-2.
