    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns safety Damarious Randall was benched for Sunday’s Steelers game and kept home from the trip to Pittsburgh because of a coach’s decision, the club announced Saturday afternoon.

    A league source told cleveland.com that coach Freddie Kitchens made the move for something that happened during the week.

    Randall, who’s started five games this season, did not participate in the early position drills that were open to the media on Friday, but he didn’t appear on the injury report.

  • It's Sheldrick Redwine time!

  • Droppin' like the undisciplined flies they are. 

  • Seems like we're doing everything we can to lose this game.

    Damnit Freddie get these guys more disciplined.  If they break the rules you've got to do something to make them not want to do break rules anymore.

    Oh wait.... That is exactly what's happening. Randall fucked up so he is being disciplined by being left of active roster.

  • It came from others up above making the decision.   NFL wants to save be face on be their brand.

  • How many safeties does that leave us on the roster now? 1?

  • Probably not getting paid here.

    we need to make the safety position a HIGH priority this offseason 

  • Redwine?

    We're lucky Red Wine is the kryptonite to Ducks.

  • Isn't Eric Berry still out there?

  • That Eric Murray trade is almost as bad as the Vernon trade. How many games will those guys combine to play this year? 10?

    The next thing you know, one of the players will be wearing a shirt that says 'Pittsburgh Started It'...............

  • Losing a key player before a big game sucks, but no one should be above the team. If you fuck up, you pay it.

    Not a bad idea at this point Gips. He probably wouldn't be ready to go today but we still have 4 games left after today.

    Good point! The Randall one last year isn't looking very helpful to us this year either.  I'm starting to see why GB was thinking "don't let the door hit you in the asss on the way out" instead of investing in a 2nd contract for their former 1st round pick. 

    I've been reluctant to share this because it's hear say from a guy that's usually careful with inside scoops. Anyway, he said one of the weeks Randall went into concussion protocol during the week was after a night out at a bar - he showed up to practice with bruises and a cut on his face (looking like he got into a fight).  I could be just me; but I haven't gotten the same vibe from him THIS year like I did last year when he played through injuries and even manned down a corner spot when he injuries at corner.

    Not for nothing; but I'd like to see us get Mitchell on the field.  He was damn good corner when healthy last year; and he has an experience volume that could help him make the same transition Randall made for Corner to Safety.

    Back in the 80s, you'd see guys play with broken bones like Jack Youngblood. Even Bernie played 3quarters of a game broken leg/ankle; and do I dare type he looked faster?  In this era, the injury lists are bigger than they've ever been (even aside from the concussion part of it all)....

  • So we're down 3 safeties, a LT and a DE.  That's OK because after win the stealers cant use injuries as an excuse.

    And a Partridge in a Pear Tree...

  • I fully support discipline for his missing practice. That said they could have benched him vs. the Bungles instead of this game. You have to balance discipline with winning games as well.

     How can you say that about players who are injured and in their first year in a new scheme? Murray has made nice plays and so has Vernon. 
    Also I wouldn’t call D.Randall a bad trade, we got him for some peanuts, basically.
