    I am telling you straight up, that unless Mangini can solve his fumbling problems (which a SUPER BOWL winner) Mike Shannon could not do, it's a bad "trade". But I guess who gives a xxxx, he wasn't playing anyways, what do we have to lose?

    mike bell had one legitimate fumble last season. the 2nd fumble was from getting hit while he was taking the handoff. it had nothing to do with his ability to hold onto the ball and had more to do with the fact that our LT couldnt block to save his life

    I saw him fumble 10 times with the nest o line in football. Covered up by the same o line that was blocking for him.

    the browns got better.

    harrison has taken 6 carries over the past 3 weeks. mike bell didnt fit in the pass first offense in philly. but when the saints ran the ball, mike bell was the go to guy and in this browns offense where running the ball is key, it will help a ton to have another guy who runs north and south behind the best left side in all of football

    denver was nearly 3 years ago and in his second season there he didnt get enough carries

    in his first season in denver he had comparable numbers to his last season in new orleans as a super bowl champ

    157 carries for 677 yards in his first season in denver

    172 carries for 654 yards in his only season in new orleans

    I hope you are right there. And I hope your gay ass picture is not.

    Black and gold community, WTF are you doing here anyways?

    p.s. if he is the next coming of Christ, why hasn't he been the featured back (excluding injury) in ANY system. Zing.......

    my gay ass picture? i support my team from 1000 miles away and when they come to canton for the hall of fame game right down the road from me, i show my support as best i can

    blackandgold.com is the saints forum that i post on. its a lot like this site and if you read my first thread i encouraged everyone here to go and chat with the posters there. lots of good football knowledge and discussion. they are a tight knit group and are very friendly and welcome anyone

    i started posting here because:

    i live in canton

    im also a browns fan

    the saints play the browns this year

    sorry for being so nice and informative.

    **edit**

    mike bell isnt the next coming of christ. he isnt even the next coming of peyton hillis. but he is a running back that fits the system that the browns run and he has shown that when he is given opportunities, he does a lot with them.

    some of them are. but its to be expected

    you dont expect to have a fan of another team to come in and know a lot about your team. i follow the browns too so i like reading what everybody else here thinks about them

    for the most part the posters here have welcomed me but ive had a few jump on me. probably because they are afraid that i'll talk smack about the brownies. i assure you that i wont. im just here to support them and give a somewhat unbiased opinion of what the rest of the league is looking at when they see the cleveland browns

  • everyone thought hillis was crap when he was thrown in with the BQ trade, look what we have now. bell will be a solid #2 behind hillis, and thats all we need, someone whos good enough to be an actual option when hillis is getting a breather or injured. last game we couldn't run the ball when hillis wasn't in cause harrison wouldn't get us anything.

    Very misinformed? Dude you got bitch slapped because you wanted to throw our new QB in even after holmgren said he wouldnt be playing this season. We had no clue that jake and seneca would both go down with injuries, and that is the only reason colt is starting. not because he is any better then the other two.

    aye yai yai.

    Looks like i was right...AGAIN.....anyway Canton probably forgot more about football than most here know...from the looks of your buddys knowledge of Mike Bells career fumbles he would be in that number..You can be tough behind that monitor pal..thats typical of 12 year old behavior..

    Exactly.

    One also has to consider that Bell runs a lot like Hillis, so when one or the other is in, the plan doesn't have to change. It seems to me the blocking calls are more of a power zone blocking scheme....get a hat on somebody and drive them and let the bruiser make a hole and get 3-4 yards. Harrsion couldn't do that....he needed seams, and why he couldn't do much.

    Bell is the perfect back-up to Hillis.

    We have settled on a power running game...grind out 3-4-5 yards a pop.

    Change of pace is great unless the change of pace was to have the back slammed to the ground at the LOS.....which is what Harrison provided

  • We will be sure to grind the clock, but we also will be sure to be 2-14

    To clarify, Holmgren said he wouldn't play unless (paraphrasing) bad things happened which means both Jake and Seneca go down with injury. Well, it's time to take the wrapping off of the emergency procedure. Holmgren isn't stupid. He knows what he said. He and the coaching staff have discussed this contingency (I'm speculating).

    This illustrates one problem with sports fans (not necessarily Dff88) and that is that we have a hard time with reading/listening comprehension. "can" does not mean "will" and "won't" can always be qualified with a contingency. Small details make a big difference.

    I agree like I said we have no choice but to start him now. McCoy is the only quarterback on the roster that has had reps since final cuts were made.

    Joe thomas will be the next to want out...but hey he sucks too..

    Do you even follow the NFL you moron?

    @brownsbacker said:

    Do you even follow the NFL you moron?

    Yeah he does but according to Gips; Thomas having the only bad game, against a very underrated DE in Abraham who no one really talks about, since we drafted him signifies that Thomas is quitting on the team and is going to want to be traded.

    As far as the latest trade goes... I liked what Harrison did last year but it was evident this year that he just wasn't getting it done and I'm glad we did something about it now then wait till the off-season.
