The Browns Board

  • your kidding yourself right? 😉  nobodies tanking with that OL that at times gave Ben over 3 seconds to pass on the hawks d-front..they can road-grade too.. Their dress rehearsal game was at TEnn..Take a look at Rudolph's high & low lights there also..Both games were flocked with 5/6/7 yard passes & both had 1 plus 40 yard completion(JuJu/Washington a TD)..but the pick Mason threw at Tenn. was a butt-ugly weekly award winner..from tenn. 89.8 qb rating Mason went to 92.4 with the hawks.. Bluntly moving on... Crushing the Jets is the only thing that matters right now

    This could end up being a blessing in disguise for Browns fan. I have a sneaking suspicion Tomlin will squeak out 6-8 wins and then will be lauded as "having his best coaching season ever" (because he lost his Hall of Fame QB, and Bell and AB) and then get a new deal for 3 more years. What should be feared is a total tank job, where they sweep the whole thing clean. As long as Tomlin is there you can assume it will be a team with no accountability or much discipline. Remember one year when the Steelers laid some eggs vs. awful teams, and Tomlin's big move was to take away ping pong privileges in the locker room (but only to the rookies, at least at first?) That was his big "butch up" moment and his version of "cracking the whip." 

    I joined this board back in college because all my good friends from school are diehard Browns fans and I wanted to know what was going on with the team. Now with that said I'm diehard pittsburgh everything and what you typed is a hilarious crock of shit. Mike Tomlin deserves a Nobel peace prize for keeping brown under wraps for so long. There is also a reason so many players sing his praises and it's not because he's a pussy with no accountability.

    Either way I'm not going to get into a round and round today. I'm not in the mood.

    I don't think Tomlin contributed much to the drama.  Of course, he likely didn't contribute much to quelling it either.

    Your drama queens are now mostly gone....or now out.    Of course, the question is:  is there someone there that will fill the role of "asshat in chief" now that B and B and BR are out of the picture.

    Candidates could include jujubee.  Maybe someone on defense.

  • It would be really ironic if Ben's career ends on a non-contact injury when the dude survived going face first - sans helmet - into a windshield, off a motorcycle. 

  • It could be  Oklahoma vs. OK St.   when the Browns play the Spermsuckers later this year.

    I heard on the radio just a bit ago that if that happens......it will be the first time in NFL history that a QB from OK and one from OK St. will have ever faced off vs. one another.

  • I didnt think rudolph looked that bad..brought up well in the system

    You don't know anything about juju if you think he's a drama queen. We are void of drama Queens currently.

    He didn't look bad at all, he looked shockingly good. I'm not putting the cart before the horse and I'm sick over Ben as I think it could end his career but I'm excited to see what he brings to the table. 

    He also has full use of the entire playbook according to Tomlin.

    I just said that he was the primary candidate simply because he’s now the number one receiver and those guys have a tendency to be divas that’s all. he may not be. Who knows we’ll see. 

  • It deserves  it's own thread Steve. No gloating  on my part.

    Nor mine. I hate the Squeelers like the Mongoose hates the Cobra but I don't want to see anyone hurt. I would much rather sweep the bastards with him under Center.

    Sure looked like it  Gip. He got tackled  earlier in the  game, but he landed on his left  elbow. He was definitely having  trouble  before he tried that 30+ yard pass to  Ju-Ju.

    Can't wait for  our pal Vag to show up with his slanted commentary.  🙂

    He was hurt after the week one game, it just got worse against the Seahawks. They drafted Rudolph for a reason. He looked great when he came in so I guess we will find out. I'm ready for a bad season but don't expect it to be a shit show.

    Unfortunately he uses it as a doorstop...

    Seriously... he did look good... but he ain't Ben... physically and mentally. And given the talent drain you've seen over the past two-years... can you afford a tradedown at QB?

    Yes.... the D has been bolstered with Bush in the middle and now Minkah behind him, but now you've mortgaged your future in a dubious effort to "save" 2019.

    I'm not getting it, Vag...

  • More great news 

    Source: The #Steelers are hosting former first-round QB Paxton Lynch for a visit today. As they look to add to their QB room...
     
     
     
    Now someone just has to take out Mason Rudolph ....

    They're minus their first (Minkah) and third (Bush) next year. Or do they think they can keep pulling Antonio Brown talent out of a rabbit hat in the sixth round? 

    A little OT in this thread Tour- but Dolphins fans should start picketing the stadium for that latest move, can't blame Minkah for wanting out though. They can start asking our guys on how to plan that 0-16 parade. Yeah- I'm going on record now- if I'm still alive in the Survivor pool, I'm taking the Browns when they play the 'Fins.  

  • After decades of predicting, hoping, praying to God that the stealers will suck, I think this will finally be the year!!

    Getting a comp third for bell. The steelers have their second, third round comp, two 4ths and I believe a 6th and a 7th.

    I never said he was Ben. He could be really good tho and that's all that matters. What isn't to get? Sean Davis has a torn labrum. He just got put on IR.  Minka fitzpatrick is a born leader, 22 years old and is still on his rookie contract. He could come out next draft and still be young. On top of that he's already proven, you know what you are getting and he's go time right now. The trade makes nothing but sense, especially when the steelers have such a hard time identifying secondary talent.
