Agreed!!! Crow SHOULD BE averaging 15-20 carries per game. And why the phuque is Johnson getting less than 5-10 carries. NOT including any passes that are thrown in their direction The 2 best offensive weapons on this team are getting the fewest opportunities to HELP this team win.
Stopper, if you don't think a WR corps that consistently drops passes, can have an effect on the final score, then you are the dumbest football coach ever.....I didn't make anything up. The drops are killing this offense. That's a fact. Not an excuse....Our rookie QB is The drops are forcing our QB to try and do too much...Kizer needs to improve, Sure ya do Buzzkill...Let me know the next time your squad has 8 dropped passes and 4 OPI's in the same game in which ya lost by 3 points....Surely no coach worth his salt would cite that as a potential reason for coming up short on the scoreboard....You go guy.
Well I watched the whole 1st half and 4Q and saw Bitonio getting beat on a couple occasions early and Coleman give up a sack and a few throwaways....Zetter allowed a guy to bull rush him and cause pressure up the middle...that's not on Kizer w these examples
The Browns have signed rookie FA WR Bug Howard from North Carolina to the practice squad.... I watched a lot of Trubisky film during the offseason, and he did have some good looking WR's. I really liked Mack Hollins (Philly), and Ryan Switzer (Dallas), but Bug had his moments too... Not sure how much the "Bug" can help us, but I feel certain we can't get worse with this move...
Crex has a great point. Our two most talented guys are running backs, and Hue resolutely refuses to lean on them. ??? Ok so we're down a TD, That's one score, so how about we try to possess the ball, make a couple of firsts, and give the D a blow, the QB some semblance of mystery about whether we might actually run the ball, so his play action can be taken seriously? I mercifully don't get to watch Browns football, due to market, and maybe if we were to show some competitive football, I'd spring for the NFL pkg, but as for now, I'll sit that one out. You guys keep me informed or misinformed, whichever you believe, and aware of the issues, and believe me I appreciate it. All that said, the box score lays out runs vs passes, and WTF? No one could possibly argue that our talent is in our recieving corps, which only reinforces Crex's point. So why do we surrender the running game?????
On another note. With all the back and forth over players, and what their contributions, or blame is, one of the most disturbing things I read, was the Hue presser where he says "ask the FO". Whoa! That sounds like a coach who doesn't want to accept any more blame, and isn't willing to carry water for the organization. That's a super Bozo No No! I'm not defending the FO, but you cannot start finger pointing, particularly at this early stage of a season, where you have a Rookie QB who just recently became old enough to drink, and you brought in a new D coordinator. It sounds like a coach who is seriously discouraged, maybe even out of ideas about how to move forward. It feels like a coach who expected a very different kind of team, than the one he coaches. How does this affect his players? How does this affect mgt's perspective, and patience? Nothing good in it at all. He's already gone after one of his players, Britt (not that Britt didn't need a foot up his butt), and now the FO!!! Three weeks in and our coach is showing signs of breaking. Yikes. I'm not in love with Hue, but I really don't want to start over again. Mgt needs to be proactive and let Hue know he has to be "team first" and that includes the FO, or he cannot stay. And that serves no one. Pick it up Hue. You do shoulder some of the blame, and while you aren't wrong about the FO failing the team in some key areas, your team is getting penalized, dropping passes, giving up plays, and failing your rookie QB with one sided play calling. Stop deflecting, and do your job to the best of your abilities, and everyone will get to judge where to place blame, without your input. Go find your Big Boy pants, apologize (privately) to your partners up top, and to your players for not expressing total faith in their ability to win, and start coaching to win.
In other news: Former Cleveland Browns RB Trent Richardson has signed on with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders of the CFL....Wow. He has fallen a long way. I think just about everyone was wrong on that guy, although I can almost guarantee that Stopper will be along soon, with claims the HE didn't like Richardson at all, coming out of Alabama. So we got that to look forward to.
David Wilson was my top guy in 2012 and before the injury happened he looked like he was going to be special. Trent probably shouldn't have gone as high as he did but there was a lot to like about his potential as a pro.
After paying dearly to watch the Browns on NFL Ticket, because I refuse to be stuck only getting the Texans and Cowgirls games, my wife posed a question to me last week when she witnessed me screaming at the TV. She asked why I continue to get so upset at the Browns week after week, year after year? I stared at her, but I had nothing in the way of a rational response. Except to say, they're my team. Always have been, always will be. So, I'll be on the couch again Sunday, watching this version of the Browns, but remembering the fun Sundays when I would be amazed at the power and moves of Jim Brown. Rok
Hey Bluez, nice defensive stream in the Kennel Club this week. lol! Great strategy. Don't you hate that we have to resort to such tactics? Oh man. It worked for me in week two with the Ravens D in one of my leagues, I can guarantee ya that. I think they got me 30. smh.... Some day moves like that will be a thing of the past. But winning in fantasy MUST take precedence....That year we were rollin out Brady Quinn every week, I just destroyed teams with the same basic strategy. Just try to follow the Browns around. It's automatic...
BEREA, Ohio -- It's 50/50 that Myles Garrett will make his NFL debut on Sunday. Meanwhile, linebacker Jamie Collins has been ruled out with a concussion for the second-straight week. Garrett practiced on Friday and was listed as limited. A questionable designation means there's a 50 percent chance of the player playing. Defensive lineman Danny Shelton (calf) did not practice Friday, but is listed as questionable. Also, wide receiver Sammie Coates (hamstring) and tight end Randall Telfer (knee) are listed as questionable after a limited practice session on Friday. All other players are listed as full participants and should play Sunday. For all your Browns news from Berea follow @FredGreetham on Twitter Author Fred Greetham @TheOBR
