    One element of drafting Trent Richardson with our 4th pick that's rarely been mentioned. Cleveland's run defense has been horrible for years as some of you have mentioned. By taking a runningback like Richardson, our defense has to play against him week in and week out in training and practice. What better way to get our D up to the challenge of stopping the run than trying to contain Richardson on a daily basis. He's going to be argueably better than 3/4 the backs we face next season. Picking Trent helps the defense in more ways than one. It's not just helping to keep the offense on the feild and the defense fresh but it's also a learning expierence in "tough love"... 😎

      ... if the Bronws D can learn to contain Richardson, they can stop anybody.

          Runningbacks can take over a game. Do you remember a couple of years ago when we played the Vikings and we we're beating them into the halftime. We had been shuting down Peterson and containing him all day. Then he goes into the lockeroom and gets an IV put in. He comes out after halftime and the Vikes just keep handing him the ball and we cannot stop him. He ran through us with blood running down his arms and he couldn't be stopped. I'll never forget that game... It's our turn.

          Vikings record 2011 3-13. Vikings record 2010 6-10. So much for a running back carrying a team to a winning record. Jaguars record 2011 (Jones-Drew) 7-9. Rams record, 2011 (Steven Jackson) 1-15. So much for a running back carrying a team.

          Really, PG there are other options for the Browns besides Richardson. If they don't draft Trent, try not to kill yourself, and if they do, please don't go spooging all over your computer screen.

              I'm might to have to ask Zombo to turn Pg's screenname into "Lumburgh II". Old timers will get the joke.

              Ain't seen such a man-crush since.

                I agree he really wants Richardson, but it's it really a big deal? I mean it will be tough for him if we end up not taking him.

                I'm actually leaning towards taking Rich as well. Not that I dislike Blackmon, just that Rich is just a lot better than the other RB's in the draft. No to OL and no to trading down. Dream scenario would be Rich and Floyd, but more realistic would be Rich and the WR from Baylor.

                  That would be a great 1st round. 2 playmakers plus little and our TE group, we will put up some numbers

                    The worst part is I want Richardson too. I just don't want to see Poetic G bend over and take it in the ass from TR

                      Yes, they can Po-G... but how many times do they in the WCO?

                      And running on the Browns D hasn't exactly been one of the 12 Labors of Hercules in the past few years...
