  • I hope not, but do you maybe shut him down for the rest of the season if he needs to miss 2 or 3 more games? He would only come back for 4 games top. Have we seen enough of him to call him the future, or do we need to evaluate him more in the last few games of the season? Either way I think we will draft DL, LB, or WR in rd 1, and prolly a QB late or a free agent if we think Colt is the guy. If not I think we may go with a mid-rounder.

    Those four games are going to be great learning tools if we can keep playing him.

    He said in the post game that the Jags gave him post snap reads instead of pre snap. That kind of thing will teach him a ton. The more he sees, the better for us in the long run.

    He also said that post snap reads require the receivers to adjust their routes as well. At Texas, Colt could see a route adjustment that Shipley or Quan Cosby could possibly make to get open, and trust them to take it. Post snap reads aren't all about the QB, though the QB has the biggest role... you also need your receivers to adjust on the fly.

    Which is what I guess Massaquoi didnt do when Colt threw it deep and he ran the comeback.

  • Ankle sprain confirmed!

    BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Browns rookie quarterback Colt McCoy is undergoing further tests on his sprained left ankle, the third Cleveland quarterback to suffer that injury this season.

    Coach Eric Mangini confirmed McCoy sprained his ankle in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville, but was unclear about the extent of the injury. Mangini will wait to see if McCoy can practice on Wednesday before naming a starter for Sunday's home game against Carolina.

    McCoy was in a walking boot following Sunday's loss in Jacksonville. He was not available to reporters on Monday.

    The Browns have had a rash of ankle sprains to their quarterbacks. Both Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace suffered high ankle sprains and missed extended time. Mangini said Delhomme "is back to 100 percent."

  • If I find out I'm paying for two airfares, a Hollywood Beach hotel, and tickets to the Dolphins game to see Jake Freaking Delhomme, I'm... well, I'll laugh, actually. And figure I was a Hun in a previous life.

  • I wouldn't count Colt out just yet.

  • Wallace's quote is funny. Haha.

    When you are in Miami, go to a place called David's Cafe. I an from South Florida and I eat there everytime I am in the area. By far the best lunch spot in the city.

  • I have to say, the statistical likelihood of all these ankle sprains, combined with the fact that supposedly they don't show up on an MRI, combined with the fact that they keep the QBs quiet after the injuries makes me wonder if the doctor isn't told to be "on the safe side" during the examination.

  • Proof that we are getting better.

    Ankle Sprains are much better than habitual staph infections.

  • The way dabs and mangini work in their skittishness and paranoia inflated minds colt just lost his chance of continuing on the job development and or developing trust with these guys, rather colt is able to play or not jake/seneca will start and at the end of the year mangini's rein as HC may depend on how well they do..

    Mangini like romeo always says he puts on the field the guys that give us the best chance to win, yet i often keep seeing our best chances to win sitting on the bench waiting for a chance to contribute or in moores case contribute more in the place of the unbelievably unproductive slowbiskie...

  • The silver lining in Colt hitting the sidelines for a while will be he will learn.

    Before he played, his experience on the sidelines was just standing around and listening. Now that he has played, he will see things totally differently. He will also be able to rally the troops. before, a untested rookie couldn't go up to teammates and talk about what happend and how it might be corrected. Now he can.

    Before he couldn't say much to the coaching staff. Now he can.

    Colt being out for a while could actually be a very good thing, for both him and the team.
