Let's talk about the positives

The Browns Board

  • Pontbriand had a good game. After the Bengal's long snapper woes, i appreciate his performance even more.

  • Over 400 yards offense.
  • Pontbriand is the man. I always love the underdog or the behind the scenes guy that does his job and gets zero credit.

    If anyone on this team should hold out, it's him.

  • I agree with many points in glenby's post:

    The Time of Possession thing was interesting. We couldn't get to our second possession, then we seemed to trade jabs toe-to-toe from there on out.

    I haven't given Cribbs his props here yet, I guess I just expect him to rack up the return yards and have taken him for granted.

    Harrison hitting holes without stuttering. Running Northn-South without getting parallel with the line of scrimmage was a HUGE step in this guy's performance that should get him on the field more. Now, we must monitor how sore he is today, it's been a long time since he's gotten such touches.

    Indeed. I was commenting how when you screw up a snap, that ball goes a LONG way back.

    Harrison had some tough runs, especially late in the game, when the defense started to wear out. The one where he moved the pile was classic. He also found he hole and hit it. No sutter stepping. Really, this guy should be splitting carries at least with Lewis.

    Massaquoi - what can you say - the guy was as good as advertised yesterday.

    DA didn't melt down when the pressure was turned up. Yes, he had some iffy throws, but every QB does, otherwise the stat would simply be 'completions' and 'drops'. His completions were nice, and he got over being victimized by drops earlier in the game (maybe he is just used to it by now). Turnover in the redzone hurt, but that's who he is - take the bad with the good, I guess.

    Playcalling - slants and screens finally; the defense did well, Pool had a great day.

  • Very good progress was made across the board i now believe we may have a head coach afterall ryan is doing a great job on the defense its came a long ways in containing the ever poweful bengal offense for most of the game...DA had a very good game and provided a spark even though dabolls playcalling had a tendancy to put the fire out before it could ignite...

    More MoMass ,More MoMass ,More MoMass!

    Its time to add robiskie in the mix and give BE a little bench time he deserves it!

    I think the browns are ready to win one next week but unfortunately much depends on the playcalling of daboll which i currently have little confidence in..

  • Over 400 yards offense.

    We had over 600 yards when you add kickoff and punt returns.

    Does anybody know what our avg starting field position was? ... and what site I can find it on for future reference?

  • Da kept his cool and stayed in the game, even after interception.

    Mentally never checked out.

    Absolutely, and if anything he deserves a snack or juicebox for it. What a guy.

    Yes that ability to forget is huge. Quinn looked good in the Vikings game, then threw a pick in the second half, as soon as he did that, he never regained his composure, and our offense never recovered.
