The First Half Tells A Truer Story Of the Browns vs Lions preseason game
-
an encouraging quote from jake:
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/...ts_to_turn.html
Delhomme sensational: Jake Delhomme continues to play like a seasoned NFL quarterback, completing 20 of 25 attempts for 152 yards and one touchdown for a 105.3 rating. Overall, he's completing 79.2 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 110.5 rating.
"It's funny, I got text from my wife. She said, 'good job, that smile is back,'" Delhomme said after the game. "We've been together for a long time, since we were in high school. I believe in having fun. I'm having whole lot of fun right now."
Said Mangini: "I thought he was outstanding. I think he's been outstanding the whole preseason. The way he gets us into a good play when we're not necessarily in the best situation, that's what I'm looking for."
Delhomme threw a beautiful sideline pass to Josh Cribbs and a 5-yard TD to a wide-open Lawrence Vickers in the end zone. He spread the ball around to 10 receivers in his one half of play.
it's good to know jake is having fun again. that could turn into some great plays and some nice wins this upcoming season.

It helps us to fly under the ((( radar )))
It helps us to fly under the ((( radar )))
Unfortunately we wont be under the radar long...with delhomme at the wheel and looking in form the browns are potentially a credible threat and our first 2 opponents need a good start as bad as we do and will not underestimate us at all..secret agent mangini has done a good job of keeping us under the radar unlike ryan and his jets who have painted a crosshair on their backs..however if the browns come out and play like i suspect they may we will be 2-0 and the media light will finally start to shine on the way to long defunct browns and mangini will have to fight and scratch for every victory...
At this point my biggest fear isnt the defense which is more revamped than it appears and will jell and adjust as it goes along, its the unknown daboll factor..is there extra scoops and toppings on that vanilla or are we seeing everything dabs has to offer like last year?
We cant win with cribbs, watson, vickers and hillis on runs, screens and dumps alone, we will need to have/develop a credible long and intermediate threat in order to keep teams stretched out some..we have the QBs, TEs, RBs and o-line to get it done and everyone is catching the ball now lets just hope dabs continues to coordinate well and has a plan..
I have been quite impressed with mangini and especially dabs thusfar now its rob ryan that needs to kick it up a notch but hey he is a ryan so he will kick it up 2 notches instead....hehehehe

I agree. We seem to have decent possession receivers but no one has emerged with the speed to extend defensive coverage. I was not a big BE fan but he would be a huge asset at the moment.

I couldn't care less about BE not being here.
I mean, the Browns have changed this team - towards players with CHARACTER who LOVE THE GAME.
The work ethic and love for the game puts BE on the other list. You can see the difference, their excitement
to be out there as Browns is there every second.
The Browns have had their fill of exceptionally talented players NOT GIVING a fricken about football, about the Browns,
about giving it their all, about winning, about working hard. Superior talents who DON'T CARE are an anchor hanging off the boat.
It doesn't make sense to pine for a gone big talent who didn't give a damn.
This team is going to be special, we'll see it in their play. Still need some additions? Sure, to be a superior team.
But these BROWNS are going to make us all proud with their desire for working very hard to be that winning team we are all looking for.
Just watch the difference in having PLAYERS who are all together who love the game and work to win,
as compared to prima donnas who couldn't care less, it's about THEM and their paychecks, and waiting until they can go
go the big city so they can party a lot more, and get those big endorsements.

Browns look pretty decent so far.... Jake has had success but a lot of credit goes to the Backs and receivers making 4 yr to 8 yr passes go for 11 and 15 and 20 yr gains. Not sold on Jake YET. I am intrigued however. But your protection solid... running game kinda blaaa so far. Defense a little shady at times. I think they can play with most teams at this point. Then its Turnovers and consistency that will determine how successful this year is.

The Browns did look solid in the first half. Jake is in a zone in the last 3 games. Hope he can come out of the gate like that. Offense has so many more weapons than in the last serveral years. Now if Ryan can get the defense to hold up it's end. Glad the last preseason game is this week, chomping at the bit to get the season rolling!

jake is a smart vet who's learned alot in the game. so far, he's taking what the d gives him and taking shots downfield when the opportunity arrives. he had a couple of nice strikes downfield last saturday, esp. that 30 yd pass to cribbs at the sideline. we'll see what happens when the playbook is opened when the games count.
and how about cribbs with the improved wr play? the way he got possesion of the football and tapped his feet inbounds on that 30 yd pass was very impressive. i think he'll be a solid wr when the browns need him.

I agree SJ . The kid could probably learn any job on the team if challenged . Since he got paid he will be in a new zone this year . I can't wait to see him operate with the offense .
As far as Jake . I have always liked him and was just blown away by us getting him . I think this year has all kinds of possibilities .
Go Browns
