we definitely need rodgers. i knew that this problem with snubbing rodgers would come back to bite us in the ass. mangina is such an asshole. im tired of his bullshit already

Rodgers is a big guy. He could have walked over to Mangini and introduced himself, could have joked that he didn't want

to not be noticed because of his size...

My guess is, he's very loyal to Crennel, and wasn't happy that Crennel lost his job as head coach.

Crennel is plenty a terrific guy, give him a personel liason job with the Browns.

An article I read in the last week (can't remember where it was from) said the Chiefs had offered a job to Crennel in the same mold that Mangini is hoping he will stay in Cleveland on. If that is the case, hopefully Romeo will come back. I personally would love to have Romeo back. He may not have been a great coach, but he knows football and the players loved him.

It's not the best idea to give Crennel any type of position within the organization. Obviously he's built a rapport with some of the player's and his presence could create locker room division. We don't need that.

Rogers getting blown off, that's a good one.

Before the Dallas game I was at Morton's and saw him with a table of 6 or 7 other homies.

I wanted to get an autograph for my kids.

So out of respect, I waited until they were done their dinners and the table was clear.

I didn't walk up to him or get in his face.

I caught his eye from about 10 feet away and showed him a couple of napkins with a pen, I gave him a grin and made a scribble motion.

The prick blows me off....as I'm walking away he makes a crack to his buddies and they all had a good laugh.

Yep, real class guy. I'd bet if that were Joe Thomas or Joe J or Eric S, they would have signed a couple of napkins.

It's not like he wanted privacy either, he was at the biggest table in the place....center stage.

Ya I know, the guys a monster. Whatever.

Alendor

yep, the loyalty he has will only cause problems

Or, Crennel is the solid good guy that would create continuity and those keep those disgruntled players on board

with a solid attitude.

Who knows, that's just my guess. I think it's a great idea.

That was a stupid arse move by Rodgers. Draft Raji and trade Rodgers for two first round picks or something.

You're seriously blaming Mangini for Rogers being a big-ass crybaby? What the hell was wrong with Rogers going and talking to him? xxxx Rogers and his ego. He pulled this shit in Detroit also, yet its Mangini's fault?

Mr. T

Dont believe everything you read, You would have to be blind if you didn't see Rogers in the green room.

He probably was hiding behind the Krispy Kreme boxes

here's what we can learn from all this: rogers is a sensitive pussy who needs to be coddled and will whine and bitch if he feels in any way slighted and will let personal shit detrimentally affect his play, and mangini is an insensitive prick who doesn't understand that some players don't respond to being challenged by an authoritarian.

mangini obviously thinks it's rogers' job to impress him, while rogers thinks it's the other way around. this can only end badly.

i don't mean to say that rodgers is innocent. he may be totally in the wrong here. i think i will just always take sides against mangina because i didn't want him as a coach. i still think jim haslett was a better choice.

For my money, spot on!

Apparently the astronomy department at Texas managed to avoid Shaun Rogers' notice. (Maybe it isn't big enough.) Clearly he still thinks the universe revolves around him. Not a very classy attitude, IMO.

WTF are you talking about? Give the new Coach a chance nimrod. Get the defeatist Cleveland attitude the fook out of here. Rodgers is the one with an attitude.

The guys story above about his actions at the restaurant are eerily reminiscent of Gerard Warren's behavior while he was here.

I think we all need to reserve judgement until we have something to really go on. There's going to be some natural backlash about RAC's firing and a racial chip for awhile until they figure out this is football and the way it is. It's the NFL and coaches are not supposed to be father figures or big brothers.

I hope its not true but if it is it might be a good idea to get raji at #5 rogers may go into the infamous lazy mode if he isnt happy and neither rubin nor robaire can hold the middle this could be a serious problem at the defensive anchor but we need to get rid of the head cases on this team if they dont want to apply themselves so we can move forward...

DTBH

I've always wondered how a guy like Shaun Rogers could want to play in a 3-4 defense, where the nose tackle does all the work and barely gets any glory. I'm just wondering if Mangini gave him an excuse to be disgruntled, and the true reason is that he dislikes playing in the 3-4.

We've got to be able to get a high first round pick for him. If need be, we can trade him and be ok. We'll have 2 first round draft picks, and possibly more if we'd trade down. With a DA and Rogers trade, we can end up with 3, 4 or 5 picks in the first 2 rounds.

Everything is pointing to Rogers turning into that lazy DT that Detroit warned us about.
