Brian Hoyer is the reason we're losing...

The Browns Board

  • Hoyer is doing a pretty good job considering Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron are missing. Now if we could only stop the run and quit letting teams convert on third down.

    Facts and logic do not work on the johhny cock suckers. There's no hope for them.

    With all the years that have passed and all of the Browns starting QB's and all of those draft pix, CLE finally has a real NFL quality starting QB, and a future starter in a draft pick. One of doze guyz is gonna start for some other team next year. When it rains it pours.

    However, I will fault Hoyer for not blocking Suggs on that double reverse.

    That was his assignment.

    The CBS announcers tried to give him a free pass on that but I say, if the QB is to pussy to throw an assigned block, then don't run the play.

    I seen Roethlisberger throw that same block on many occasions.

    Welcome to the NFL Hoyer.

    If yur gonna compete in this division then block that Raven like a Steeler.

    If yur not gonna compete, then you will find yurself in last place,

    again,

    and again.

    Oh, I guess that's where you are already.

    Then never mind.

    I guarantee you it was not...

    Otherwise... good post...

    I can guarantee that was not Hoyer's assignment, just as it's not Roethlisberger's.

    No (smart) coach will ever task his QB to block on any play, especially not on anyone in the front 7. I've been around the game of football for a long time and I've never once heard a coach tell a QB to block. I have heard them say "get in the way", "try to draw a flag" and also "lay down and don't move".

    Roethlisberger throws that block not because he was asked to, but because that's the type of player he is. Not saying Hoyer doesn't possess that sort of passion, but Roethlisberger is just a tenacious, in-your-face type player. It also doesn't hurt that he's roughly the same size as most linebackers.

    Too late... beat you by 6 minutes...

    But if you'd like to underwrite my guarantee, give me a ring...

    Fair enough.

    I'll have to be quicker on the take next time.

    I just said this same thing to my brother on a short ride in the car today. Seriously how the F does our OC not know a play he puts in and spends practice time on is illegal?? That is some dime store amateur crap

    Actually, it would have worked, if West hadn't moved. The Refs weren't aware of the rule, and the play would have stood. As to a HS play-- see below.

    @tour2ma said:

    .. or our HC... or...

    I think it was Wilbon that called it a High School play today on PTI.

    Play like a Brown needs to start with Play-calling like a Brown.

    So for the short attention spans, let me remind you the Bengals beat the Browns a few years back on a trick play- (Browns D fell asleep, remember?) And they pulled another one this past Sunday.

    And my 0.02- trick plays have been part of the game since"The Statue of Liberty". If you can get a cheap score using one, more power to ya. Or you want to make onside kicks, fake punts & field goals illegal too? 🙂

    Haven't been posting much of anywhere, I'm afraid. Career got in the way. Our firm is rapidly expanding so I've been preoccupied.

    Plus, I was very wrong about Hoyer and I am eating my required crow...and enjoying the ride.

    Things settle down for 'round week 10, so I'm sure you'll see a lot more of me 'round then.

  • 2 losses with drive killing incompletions in the last couple of minutes. Possibly not his fault but...

    (probably should never have gotten to that point.)

    Also could someone explain to me how the trick play was illegal? Why did the refs cite West and not JM or the bench if it was illegal?

    Apparently you're not allowed to line up within 15(?) yards of the sidelines when in front of the benches - that is, within the 30 yard lines.

    I'd never heard of the rule, and the refs basically forgot about it, I think.

    @gftchris said:

    It's 5 yards, not 15. And "between the 30's" is significant because a team's bench players, coaches, etc. "must" remain between the 30's.

    Put them together and basically it's a camouflage rule meant to keep teams from "hiding" on-field players in the mass of sideline personnel... and, yes, it's stupid...

    Hoyer is playing very very well...

    He's going to make a nice buck if he can play like this all season.

    Forgot about his play without a contract gambit... looking pretty smart so far.

    Good "problem" to have.
