5 roster moves today - new OT signed
-
I was looking forward to see what Hood could do but oh well. And the release of Ryan Tucker (if true) is one we needed to make a long time ago when he was suspended for taking performance enhancing drugs.

Browns release Rod Hood
08.31.2009
The Browns have released veteran CB Rod Hood, one of four roster moves the team made Monday.
Hood, a seven-year veteran, signed with the Browns in May after spending the last two seasons with the Cardinals.
The team also waived TE Nate Jackson and LB Robert McCune and signed rookie OL Branndon Braxton, who had been with the team since May but was waived last week. Braxton is a Youngstown native who played collegiately at Oklahoma.
ESPN 850 is reporting that Ryan Tucker has also been waived/injured.

Always a Tucker fan. Hope he'll get signed somewhere else. Guarantee the Lions sign Hood. They have picked up all our scraps, why stop now?
Tucker has been done for a while and Hood is a bum.
GOOD MOVES. When we are getting rid of guys like that (who everyone thinks are decent) we must be getting better.
Mangini doing work fellas.

They resigned braxton from youngstown so he will only have a 2 hour drive when he gets cut again next week...
-
Don't like this. Hood had one bad game, last game. He's been a starter in this league before and played well prior to the Titans game. Would have been better than Ivy/Poteat. I like Lockett as the #4 Safety over Poteat
-
I believe that Tucker had surgery on his knee and could be out up to four weeks... Get him healthy and bring him back for the 2nd half of the season...
IMO He'll either play here or retire... Too much body wear for another team to take a chance on...
If he's done here then I have to say thanks and lots of luck in the future... He did a damn good job for us.....
Peace

Saw elsewhere that the Bears have already signed Hood.
-
Too bad they got rid of McCune I was really pullin for him after i found out he was an Afghan vet.
-
Kind of suprising they cut Hood...I thought after watching the Green Bay game Ivy was a goner but he's still around and IMO not very good.
-
The reason they brought in so many bodies because the lack of talent in the secondary is bad. That should make you cautious about current personal, sorta like LB.
The Browns defense is so lacking in talent.

It doesn't bother me. We have some talent back there.
Here is the deal with corners...when they have it, they can start day one. When they lose it, it happens overnight. It usually isn't a slow process.
Hanford Dixson went from a very good corner to a lead shoe in the middle of a play.

I'm sensing there may have been a lack of effort 110% of the time.
Mangini would rather coach a guy than beg him to try.

Kinda like the poster.

Wasn't McCune the one that forced that fumble on the kick off return against the Titans? They showed him after the play and he looked like a monster. I thought maybe we found ourselves a player...

He also got flagged for a hold on a kick return. That probably hurt him just as much as the forced fumble helped him.

They could be looking at him as a potential practice squad player. But, they do need guys to fill the void for 3/4 of a game Thursday. You have all the starters and top subs that will be sitting by the end of the first quarter. so, why are people paying to see this game. Shouldn't it be free. You are watching 3 quarters of auditions for the final 10 to 15 spots on the roster and the practice squad.

My guess is Hood gave an ultimatum - start me or cut me. Ivy is likely willing to come off the bench (and would have no choice).
2009-10 Browns Prediction: 8-8 -
Associated Press is reporting that Tucker was not injured, but that the Browns may be working on an injury settlement that would allow them to release Tucker. That makes more sense.
Of course the result is the same. He's not playing, and the roster spot is available.
