    Browns cut Grossman:

    Obviously we are going for a true, two-QB system...

    And my "bold" prediction holds up ... two QBs is all we need.

    NE and INDY always went with two. Hoyer is the man. And that little backup guy is young and healthy. What would Grossman do again ... be an influence in the QB room? OK.

    (we have a QB coach)

  • we can always drag grossman out of his staion wagon he'll be living in in the facility's parking lot if needed. just gotta knock the bong out of his hand.

    If you have tape of Wallace at LT give it a look... very different player.

    Good call on Wallace. I know you were saying goid shit about him when no one was saying anything about him.

  • Does West survive the next pickup/cut? With 4 RB's, I'm thinking he might be the next to go.

  • Browns Practice Squad so far :

    • OL James Brown
    • DL Jacobbi McDaniel
    • TE Emmanuel Ogbuehi
    • LB Keith Pough
    • LB Justin Staples
    • QB Conner Shaw

    Nice to see Shaw and Staples still in the mix

  • I wonder how the QB lineup will look? Shaw backing up Manziel is like having two of the same QB's. Should we keep a guy on the verge of retirement over Shaw. I think that would be a bad move as would having two rookies backing up Hoyer.

  • Don't know bout y'all but I don't think manziel is the next Browns qb.he sucks throwing the ball. Also he's too short.

    not an NFLer. Shame that rex is gone. He looked the best by far. Plus he has experience and knows the browns system

    Hello, Rex.

    Starting OL better stay healthy for a few weeks till the new guys get up to speed. Was I among the few who thought Gilkey didn't totally suck?

    Hmmmm.... no Charles Johnson as of yet- I would have thought for sure that's where he'd be headed.

  • Updated PS - Johnson back on it :

    • OL James Brown
    • DL Jacobbi McDaniel
    • TE Emmanuel Ogbuehi
    • LB Keith Pough
    • LB Justin Staples
    • QB Connor Shaw
    • C Patrick Lewis
    • OL Karim Barton
    • WR Charles Johnson
  • I see we got Patrick Lewis back on the team. Was on the active roster part of last year as a rookie. Did we bring him in to teach the O linemen how to block for JM? (He was JM's center the year of the Heisman). 😆

    I'm glad you said "we" ... looks like at least one of you guys will take.

    "Get out of his way"?

    LOL! They were taught that under no circumstances should they look back to watch the "show" and just keep finding someone to block no matter whether they lost their first one or not until the whistle blows. JM was looking for ways to extend plays and did not need an audience from the O line, just hit somebody.

    PS-the above is actually true. The beginning of his active career they actually did often look back to see what the hell he was doing since no whistle was being blown and often got caught up in watching the "magic show" like everyone else. Coaches got in the film room with them and made them change all that. It took a few games before it became second nature.

    Interesting point. Of the many things l've learned about Manziel recently, l believe l heard someone say that he never called protections, that the Center did that. Or someone on the Oline did that.

    If you watched the A&M/SC game last Th you could see the center (Jake Matthews's little brother Mike) calling out all the O line play while the QB was looking over the D before every play. Accomplishes two things, 1. Gives the center responsibility for protections depending upon his closer look (QB back in the shotgun) and 2. Allows the QB time to listen to the calls to help him identify who to throw behind that might be blitzing.

    So yes, Lewis did all the line calls and D identification when he was JM's starting center.
