The Browns Board

  • Beannie pulled a Ted Ginn on all of us and let his team and all Ohio State fans down. once he got his 100 yards he pulled himself in preservation for the Draft.

    I am sick and tired of all these selfish players and I wouldnt want him on my team if that is his game.

    Whatever happened to the guys who had hart? Beannie could of had over 200 yards rushing tonight and would of really put himself to be in the top 5 overall.

    Lauranaitis had a hell of a game tonight! While others took the last 8 weeks off should we mention names?

    He proved tonight that he can be used in a Nickel Defense and that should help his draft statis. Look for guys like the Patriots or Green Bay to draft him. While Cleveland still looks at molds for players other teams will be looking for Football Players.

    I think you're being harsh on Beanie. They said it was a head injury and the trainer appeared to be doing a concussion survey on him. I don't think he had a choice in the matter. That's serious.

  • Pryor is future star............

    It is hilarious Browns fans tolerate and idolize the shit presented to us for years and are caustic about OSU and the winniingest BCS game coach ever...........amazing

    and mz the pussy stick it.............the WINNINGEST BCS TEAM AND COACH EVER IS OSU AND TRESSEL........stuff that stat...

    ..you would be wise to start listening to me instead of criticizing because I am rarely wrong and you have provided no useful insight into what constitutes winning and clearly you supported the losing big time in the Browns when I pointed out the issues

    Ooooooooooh! All the way back to 1998! The BCS is a joke, and if you want to only go back a decade or so and anoint Tressel the Ohio Savoir, so be it. But it makes you a joke, too.

    When I presented Super Bowl stats yesterday, you criticized me for not presenting every Super Bowl. Fine.

    Shall we compare the successes of Jim Tressel to those of Bobby Bowden, Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno, A. A. Stagg, Eddie Robinson, Pop Warner, or even guys like Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carroll, and Urban Meyer?

    Fcuking homer.

    Rich,

    Is this your football messiah? Someone MIGHT want to tell Tressell they're playing a little better competition once they get outside of the Big 10.

    - Tom F. (He beat Akron though!!!)

    your right Tom he got outcoached by six inches......and a badly missed tackle with 20 seconds to go...........go root for Willie Green and Phil Sewage and Taylor Mays............thanks for the insight

    Not 6" maybe 2" and not 20 seconds, 16 seconds. And with 1:34 to go a LB hit right in the hands with a pass when he jumped to block it.

    OSU coached by Tressell played one of the best teams in the country and they won with a little bit of luck. Nobody got outcoached whan a game comes down to one play.

    I didnt catch that. head injury? why were the sideline reporters saying that his teammates were asking him if he was coming back in?

    also Pryor would make a better receiver than a QB.

    first time we ever agreed on anything

  • dont forget the missed FG in first half, also the time out to bring in Boeckman in the red zone when Texas was gassed after chasing Pryor and Beannie Baby. Those were the 2 costly mistakes.

    Mac Brown may have pulled a San Fransico and let them score early enough so they could get the ball back with enough time to do something??????? If so, Thats having Faith in your Offense.

    Would Mac Brown consider the coaching job in Cleveland?

  • Interesting point about allowing a team to score so you have a enough time to score yourself. That is something I have wondered why coaches do not do more often and have only seen it done seldom. In this case from the field position I would think it was not a plan to let them score a TD............not at that time

  • Pryor is a freshman and every college in the country wanted him...I'm not going to get down on the guy. I felt he kept OSU in the game with his legs. I can't help but feel texas knows they got lucky in the game tonight. That game was lost when they faked the LB blitz and let the receiver get behind everyone but the one safety. They should have been keeping everything in front of them and I really feel the buckeyes would have won that game. No way Texas should have been in the the championship game on thursday...but I think that will be more apparent after that game.

  • I am with you on Pryor. I cannot believe a lot of folks here are throwing a true freshman on the biggest of stages under the bus for not lighting it up tonight. His passing was poor but happens especially with young guys........He will keep getting better and his passing will be dramatically better by next year

    We have too many people here too critical on everything OSU does and NOT critical enough about the continuous blunders and losing in Broiwnstown

  • Allergic to stats/research again there, rich?

    You got to be kidding - you serious?

    So tell me why Oklahoma SHOULD be ahead of Texas when they lost, head to head, straight up? If Ohio State would have beat Penn State and somehow Penn State made it to the national title game, you be screaming murder. Yes, you would, do not deny it.

    Pryor's issues are not with his talent - he has that. He is a mouth and someday - someone is going to light him up for it.

    That is because the topic is not about the Browns, genius. It is about the OSU game.

    Again, another fledgling attempt to portray your self-proclaimed intelligence.

    And again, failed.

  • @atenears said:

    You're crazy. I'm not all that high on Pryor, but he played a big part in keeping this game close.

    Yeah not a blow out maybe but i think the offense wouldve been more effective,,,I really think Pryor is gonna wind up being a WR...because at QB he looks lost and his arm is just total caca...My Aunt Fran has a better arm than that....

    I don't know if that will be the case, but OSU faces a problem when they play Pryor.

    Just a few comments from a Buckeye who has lost the passion for the team many years ago, but still roots for them to win most of the time:

    * When Pryor was in the game, it was evident to me that Texas didn't respect his ability to beat them with his arm. They got in to defensive sets that challenged him to do just that because they weren't going to let him burn them on the ground.

    * Tressel is a class coach, but almost to a fault. I think he is a bit too loyal to his players and has a hard time not playing some kid who has busted his ass for the program.....so the flip side is how do you fault that??

    * I am still not sure OSU is going to use Pryor as he should be, in some sort of real spread or option offense...he isn't a drop-back. Next year will tell the tale. This year may have been a mix of sorts since Boeckman was still in the mix a series here, a series there. Next year the Bucks need to change things or they need to quit going after players like Pryor and stick with drop-back qbs. I don't think you are helping the program or the player by trying to run some sort of hybrid that frankly, isn't very innovative. Do or don't, but don't do something in between.

    * To counter what I just said....Pryor is only a freshman, so he has lot's of room to grow over the next 2-3 years, so spirits should remain high in Buckeye land.

  • I love Tressel, but can always admit when he's been out-coached and it's only been a few times, but Texas I, PSU I & II, Florida, and tonight come to mind.

    He's also out-coached some great teams ... but he is what he is.

    Glad that we were at least in the game, not many gave us that heading into tonight.

    USC and LSU were 2 other games he got outcoached in. Texas Tech beat that same Texas team with a fraction of the top recruits Tressell has. While OSU was outgaining Texas by 4-1 on the ground in the first half, Tressell was content playing for 50 yard field goals. That one drive they got all the way inside the 5 - they called timeout. Only to decide to get away from what got them there, Texas couldn't stop the running game so they were elated OSU opted to just feel warm and fuzzy with 3 points.

    On a positive note, that was the best game I've ever seen Lauranitis play.

    LOL! Where's Clarett playing this weekend? Ghoolie told us he'd be in the NFL Hall of Fame by his 4th season. I'm still waiting for Mo's FIRST NFL season but patience is a virtue. He got one thing right though, Mo looks great wearing an orange uniform. He's another OJ Simpson.

    We're about due to hear Ghoolie was the FIRST Cleveland fan to MAINTAIN his fondness for BB. He was also the first Cleveland fan to maintain his fondness for Art Modell, which has left us sitting pretty since 1994 so by all means let's pin it all on Savage.

    Your BB loved the Eric Turner pedigree in round 1. That was his only GOOD first round pick here so that won't be very convenint to the Mays discussion. He always goes against your criteria so I'm surprised you and Ghoolie were his most devout fans. He drafts alot of TEs first in NE only to use Vrable instead.

    As you were...,

  • You wonder why the big ten sucks? look at the level of coaching compared to the SEC

    SEC = Meyer,Saban,Miles,Spurrier,Kiffin,Riecht, hell you could even throw Houston Nutt in there

    Big 10 = Tressell,JoePa,NimRod,Zook,Ferentz,Dontonio,

    Tressell is by far the best coach in the big 10 (sorry Joe you've stayed way too long) and is in the top 20 in coaches in the country (ask Michigan fans if they'd trade coaches?) but the rest of the conferance has yet to upgrade

    Look at Tennessee Fulmer is a legend there but the game and the rest of the conference passed him by out with old in with the new

    When Joe packs it in at Penn their going to replace him with a clone.

    Wow.. Tressel hasn't even coached OSU since 1998.. and he STILL HAS THE MOST BCS WINS???? Other coaches at other programs got a 3 year head start!

  • Wow, I can't believe we're throwing Tressel under the bus.

    The guy is awesome.

    Look at what he did with that offense and the only "real" talent he had was Wells and he only had ONE receiver that could catch, Robiskie.

    Pryor is a TRUE freshman, he should have been a redshirt so he could put on a little muscle and learn the system, I don't see the arm I hear so much about when people salavate over him. He made some damn fine catchas though, I'll give him that.

    Can't fault him for that at all. If your players aren't abiding by the program set forth, then they should NOT be rewarded with playing time.

  • I agree....but what I am saying is maybe he plays a few of the good guys a bit too much.
