Appreciation Thread for Eric Mangini's Call to Bench Quinn

Crow

Instead of giving Quinn the eight obligatory starts before the escalator in his contract, he pulled the trigger early and didn't give up on the season. It could have easily backfired in his face but - even if we do lose this game - you cannot truthfully say that the flip has dramatically improved the team overall for the better. It was premature for Quinn certainly but this great progress has to do wonders for everyone buying into the message the coach is selling.

Give the man a break and have some patience before we run him out of town.

This is the part I agree with. The rest of this thread is garbage.

Hieden in for Royal on TE. Steve Heiden can catch. Royal, not so much. How many drops has he had? I'm glad to see us throw to Heiden when we need him.
Massaquoi in for Cribbs for 2nd WR. Edwards is getting doubled up and leaves MoMass to capitalize on completions.
Harrison in for Lewis for RB. I was so excited to finally see Harrison contribute, and he looks excellent. I will be pissed if we see Lewis starting when he comes back.
DA in for Quinn for QB. DA can move the offense a lot better than Quinn can.

Make no mistake, our special teams and offense have looked better as well (holy hell, Cribbs and Rogers), but on the offense, those player substitutions were the key IMO.

I'm just stoked to see some EMotion by the Browns coaching staff

Agree with the above. Special teams is what made this game close in the end however.

We also have to thank Rodgers for stopping two kicks.

Amen. I had a feeling after hearing Rogers comments during the week he was going to bring it today.

I like Rogers and am glad he is 'back'!

The man is a beast.

This is a bit random but from the Bengal's board:

all day to throw
no rush at all

damn wish we had their offense!

these fu*kers are goodp

3rd and 5

easy 6 yard completion!

Brat best be taking notes here!

Carson better be studying Derrick A

I think the switch to MoMass at #2 WR over Cribbs is the move I appreciate far more at this point. Cribbs lining up at #2 was doing the passing games no favor.

A loss is a loss, DA just cant get it done, please trade Quinn soon.

I also think some of the defensive subs worked well. Adams had a pretty good game and showed his cover skills. Bmac was good as a nickel. And how about Furrey steppin up and playing some d, he actually looked good!

DA still played terrible.. ..Ooh big shock there.. Threw an int right into coverage on 3rd down in the red zone... THROW THE DARN BALL AWAY away and kick a field goal..get points on the board.... BUT NO.. DA has to force the ball into an area there there is nothing. into double coverage. This guy never learns. Same mistakes each game.

DA did make some nice throws..but when the pressure is on..this guy folds up like a cheap chair.. and throws the ball right into coverage . I am tired of seeing this every time the guy steps on the field.. Why should we settle for this..guys are saying OH, we scored a td.. big deal.. does not matter if he contantly makes the critical mistake when the game is on the line.

We should settle for this because Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are not in our roster.

ill give you the int was bad.. the playcalling in the redzone on that drive was a bit predictable but DA still forced it.

However AT LEAST THE GAME WAS ON THE LINE...... something Quinn never even got close too.

Still better than back to back Flash package calls in the redzone.

I dont know about Adams and Furrey on def....

We just need to get subs for Poteat and St.Clair now.

Good post ... Mangini deserves the credit for making the tough decisions.

He also demoted McDonald and it seemed to light a fire under his ass and send a message to the other DB's

I agree with this but I would have LOVED to have Jamal in there to beat them up a little bit. Plus, Harrison is so tiny, he gets arm tackled too easily. Jamal would have been a huge advantage for us.
