Quick release? We talkin' 'bout the same Wheezy?

Might as well say WSH was scared of Wheezy's mobility...

Weeden's release is very quick.....when he makes quick decisions. His problem was that he clearly lacked the ability to make those quick decisions on a regular basis. And also, oftentimes when he did make a quick decision it was the wrong one.

They weren't blitzing Weeden. Why?

They threw one blitz at him, which he beat with a screen. He only had 5 other passes and 3 of those were in the red zone, where wash wouldn't blitz anyway. So, there really were only 2 other opps.

@the-gipper said:
Because he was healthy and had a quick release of his ball, so the blitz would have been more ineffective against him. They were trying to make a double knockout blow of Romo when he went back in.....and almost succeeded.

I think they were smelling blood too.

He's a gifted thrower for sure, his problem is between the ears. He takes 10 years to go through his progressions and he doesn't have any form of foot work.

The problem is you wouldn't mind keeping a raw talent like that around for 4 years and try to develop him behind a vet starter, but developing a 30 y/o with nothing but arm talent isn't a risk most teams would take, especially with a first round pick.

im proud of colt. im a huge browns and eagles fan. and dallas was sickening me with their 6-1 rec. glad colt knocked them off even though that D played great.

tiamat63

I always wondered how Colt would have played had he not suffered that freak hit from Dareus and actually had WR's to throw to in Cleveland. Specifically that hit, though. It really changed him, physically and mentally.

I loved him in College, so excited when we got the chance to pick him in the 3rd.

two browns draft busts facing off in prime time. I'm loving it.

Just think, this monumental meeting between the QB's of Cleveland past took place on Brady Quinn's birthday.

I saw Mott the Hoople at JCU...and the backup band was Aerosmith.....as was right.

All the young dudes...

I had no idea what happened in MNF until l went into work today and heard the known Dallas fan say, "we shoulda left Weeden in..."

I couldn't help but pop around the corner and ask him what the hell he was talking about.

Actually l did that Scooby Doo "Hrrr?" noise he makes when he has a question, which is the equivalent of "what the hell are you talking about."

They shoulda left Weeden in because putting in Romo was a big risk for the rest of their season. Romo's having a great year, 100+ QBR, etc. - not having them changes their post season predicament quite a bit. (Even if it is romo)

Weeden wasn't in for very long but I guess he had a few nice throws.

The funniest part last night to me was how many times they panned to Colt McCoy's dad when he did something good. Weeden still has a face that I want to punch for no reason other than how it looks.

Yes Weeden has a highly punchable face.

The insulting my screen name i dont like. Ill own up to anything i say. I posted in another thread that the Skins always play the Cowboys hard.

uggg, im out, im pissed!

Hello? Now you possibly feel about like us losing to the sucking Jags?

@everlastingxxx said:

They always suck you in. Give you hope. Then break your heart.

Anyways, still 6-2 and in first place. Not all is lost. Weeden looked pretty damn good. Wish they would have kept him in.

Weeden sucks- just give him time- trurst us.

reminds me of when James Taylor opened for the who in Cleveland and was nearly booed off the stage. The next year the who returned and Pete Townshend called out crowd for being assholes the previous year since Taylor was now a big star.

WSS

If that's the immortal 1970 concert Steve- it wasn't Taylor. It was Joe Wash & the James Gang as the opening act. Don't recall Taylor getting booed either.

Do remember Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks getting booed off the stage but the main attraction was Johnny Winter- talk about piss poor scheduling.

@tour2ma said:

I saw Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks booed off the Public Auditorium stage. Promoter had for some reason sandwiched them between Redbone (not Leon) and Steppenwolf.

Billy Bass did not wait a year... he ripped the crowd a new one that nite...

JCU??? I knew there was something wrong with you...

Dan Hicks- a band that should be forgotten. Are you stupid, or what? You want to trot our your kind of act before that sort of stuff?

I'm talking about James Taylor opening for the Who.

WeDone v McFrye delivered highest MNF ratings since 2009. I'm sure they got a boost from NE Ohio.

Mott the Hoople had plenty of good songs ...and some very good albums all on their own. In fact, they do the Dudes song much better than Bowie does.

Will probably land higher ratings than Brady vs. Manning coming up this week. And hey, there is a game coming up Pittsburgh vs. Cinci.....maybe both BR and Duelin' Dalton can perish in a shootout and we will have Jason Campbell vs. Bruce Gradkowski.

No... he does not have a quick release. You are still confusing arm speed with release.

Bowie also produced the Dudes LP and played Sax on it...

Bowie promised one group and one individual he would take them with him if he ever made it big...

Mott the Hoople and Lou Reed

Bowie idolized Reed.

Bowie co-produced Lou's Transformer LP with his Spiders' guitarist, Mick Ronson.

Semantics. When Weeden wanted to get a throw out he did it if fine fashion. No one debates that he was often confused.

If your point is that Mott the Hoople road Bowie's coattails....perhaps, a little. But coattails do you no good if you are no good, but Mott the Hoople was good. And if your point is that Lou Reed rode Bowie's coattails, while no doubt they were collaborators, Reed was an American, not a Brit, and The Velvet Underground as far as I know had a presence here wholly without the help of Bowie.
