    Check the run/pass ratio of the two Super Bowl teams and then get back to me.

    Only the Browns used a top 5 draft pick when they selected Richardson. Weeden is still a unproven commodity. If the Browns are going to win games they're going to need Richardson to run the rock. Although who knows if this regime would have even drafted Richardson if they could go back and draft at that spot.

    Terry Bradshaw

    Joe Montana

    Tom Brady

    Peyton and Eli Manning...

    And yet you still haven't looked up the ratios.

    I get it. Because once you do, you'll have no argument. You'll just continue to mutter "buh Tom Brady Peyton manning" until someone agrees with you.

    Keep on being an ignorant asshole, it suits you very well.

  • This has been a problem for as long as I can remember. Is this something that has to do with schemes, personel, or what?

    I routinely see other NFL teams create lanes and open up spaces for their running backs but we just can't seem to do this.

    What's the deal?

    TCPO, do you have any clue as to how to have a discussion?

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On Gilkey... let's not get delusional... at best he played like a small college rookie making the leap to the NFL... especially at right guard. Prolly graded out a "C-" on that side where he did mostly face Suh. But seeing as how Suh blew up nearly everyone he played across from in the game, including Pinky and Joe Thomas, it could have been a lot worse. Once he moved to left guard, Gilkey looked much more comfy... even made a nice adjustment pulling on a trap play. Of course that was against second team D.

    Had to say "Suh blew up nearly everyone" above because of one O-lineman... Alex Mack. Mack played a great game and came very close to "handling" both Suh and Fairly. It mattered not who was a cross from him. There's a rock in the middle of our line.

    I've been a little puzzled here as well. "Schemes" seems to be the operative word. Week 1 we looked like a pure zone blocking team; week 2 we looked to take a classic, pull and trap, power approach. It may be Norv and company are trying to see which suits us. It seemed to me like the latter... which sprang a couple nice runs (TR's sweep left and Lewis' off tackle left).

    @vaportrail said:

    Exactly. I have no idea who the next man up is now. Our backup OLine, outside of Gilkey, looked like shit.

    Not true... Hauptmann played decent and Butler had another good game. Cave and Shaw... not so much.

  • Oh... and on the TR sweep I mentioned... Little threw a great crackback block...

    I just wish Thomas (who pulled and led) would have looked inside and seen Suh coming. Might have been a decleater...

    After being on this forum for the past couple of years, there's only a few people I give the benefit of the doubt to as far as being able to hold rational conversation.

    He's not one of them.

    At this point, I just jump straight to the insults and skip the five-ten posts of facts that he'll callously disregard.

    Besides carry the Vikings? Oh absolutely nothing. I'm convinced you don't even watch football. My point above was also pretty clear. The Browns either run the football and run it well or lose even more games. You don't invest a top 5 draft pick in a running back to not run the ball effecitvely, so you better hope those running lanes open up. HOWEVER when it all boils down it's the preseason AND my friends the Preseason means jack for what's in store when the regular season begins.

  • so if you run the ball well you win more games?

    and the preseason means nothing?

    better write that down so we dont forget!

    what other knowledge can you share with us dimwits..

    What? You haven't figured out personal insults just drag down the whole level of conversation, and make you look rather childish in the process? Just don't make a habit out of it.

    No, I've figured it out. I've just realized that most people, outside you, Gip, and a few select others only respond to insults. Therefore, if I intend to have any sort of discourse, I must immediately begin the relentless barrage of insults.

    Also, I've been drunk since January.
