Refs. Ugh. They were missing guys jumping early on both sides last night. Look at Burrows sack-fumble: RT jumped real early (then got badly beat anyway).Don’t know how they missed obvious false starts.

Also, how did OBJ not get a DPI call for a guy pulling his jersey? That, to me, was a fireable offense for missing that call. Watched w…[Read more]

Before checking the forum, I was just thinking I need to find out who #97 is, because he was all over the place, lol.

I think he flashed more in one game than Olivier Vernon has in any of his as a Brown.

I have 0 insider knowledge, but I feel like that rumor has swirled since we acquired him. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I don’t think it was the “stern coach” that led his success so much as the offense was suited to him, and he had success with both Haley and Kitchens as OC. He definitely improved after Haley and Hue were fired, but he was also a rookie getting some games under his belt. I think the game was just coming to him.

Last year, was just dysfu…[Read more]

I’m waiting til after Thursday’s game to reassess. I agree though, that yesterday’s game had me questioning his future.

But, he was going against Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey, two of the best in the league. He looked good when he targeted everybody but Odell. If he doesn’t look a lot better on Thursday…

Last years was worse. I expected to lose to Baltimore, I expected shit stomp the Titans, and we got shit stomped instead.

Oddly enough, I was at that game too. Reggie Bush’s pro debut. Two saints fans right in front of me started screaming Reggie, Reggie! when he came out to return a punt on his first NFL touch. He lost 11 yards trying to scramble, after which I stood up chanted REGGIE, REGGIE! They were not amused, lol.

I really want to know who the hell came up with allowing the same number of fans on each side of a rectangular football stadium. What? How does that make any sense? They had to just pick a number out of a hat, because there’s absolutely no math behind that what so ever.

I found that part kind of amusing. I’m sure Berry really struggles making that concession.

Actually, I don’t think this is coming from Njoku. Like Soup said, it’s coming from his agent, Rosenhaus. It’s not coincedence he made this request like a week after signing with Rosenhaus.

PFT has an article about it saying that Rosenhaus uses this tactic frequently to try to get new contracts for the players, so the agent gets paid off the n…[Read more]

Are there any “major” DE’s available besides Clowney?

I don’t think we’re signing him because he doesn’t want to sign here. I can’t think of another DE that this deal would impact

He also has a no tag clause for next season.

So, he’s betting on himself to have a big year, and the Browns are hoping he can have a big year and cash in somewhere else and get a compensatory pick in the process.

Solid move in my book.

I always argue it’s how you compare to your competition, and that’s where Groza was much better than the other kicker did his day, vs. Dawson. Also, I’d be interested to see how modern kickers do with 1950’s footballs, on 1950s football fields. Could not have been ideal for kicking.

Tough to dispute the 2nd point, especially with Groza getting the MVP in ‘54. For the first point, I’d argue that Joe is a 7x First team all-pro, which is more than either Newsome or Groza. But the MVP? That might change my mind to Groza.

I think I would switch Groza out with Joe Thomas. It’s tough, and honestly I have Thomas, Newsome, and Groza in a 3 way tie. But, I give it to Thomas for 2 reasons:

1.) it balances out the Mount Rushmore and gives us SOMEBODY from the last 30 years

2.) Groza was a stud on a team full of studs. JT was a stud on a team of garbage. He was the l…[Read more]

Yeah, Grigson is not a good guy.

If you ever listen to Pat McAfee talk, he’s got some stories about Grigson, and he has nothing but hate for the man. Which is crazy, when you consider McAfee seems like a genuinely friendly human being.

I don’t remember them all, but I know he said Grigson gave him shit multiple times and referred to him as…[Read more]

I read it as the other way around, as the Browns offered the 1st overall pick, but the Seahawks declined.

It came down to Russel Wilson or Baker, and I definitely would have made that trade. Bakers only 5 or 6 years younger than Wilson, I don’t see where it’s even a debate.

Minnesota vs. Falcons

32 rushes against 10 pass attempts

We will run the ball more than any team in nfl history.

See, I can cherry pick stats and extrapolate them to make ridiculous conclusions too.
