Things last night proved
-
Here are some impressions from last nights game:
A. Thad Lewis is terrible....and if JMZ is going to be unreliable healthwise the Browns need a better backup QB. If Matt Cassell or RGIII or some other decent veteran gets let go this weekend, Browns need to serioulsy consider latching on to them and ditching Lewis.
B. Not that it is an excuse for Lewis's play, but our backup OL is not adequate at all. The starters should be great....but we need better behind them than this backup group has shown. Again....lets see what hits the waiver wire.
C. Our back end DBs are bad. The likes of Rankin, Feichter, Sanders I think can say Sayonara
D. Bowe is slow. He had tons of trouble getting separation it seemed. (Even if he could get open Lewis couldn't find him). I really would have preferred seeing him play with the first team.
On the positive: Meder had a good game. Pullard was always around the ball (Jesus....he looked tons better than D'Qwell Jackson ever did in that regard). West I thought play well for the most part.

Look at this:
Panthers Signed QB Derek Anderson to a two-year contract extension.
Would DA be any worse than what we have here?
And this:
Broncos Suspended S T.J. Ward for the opening game against Baltimore.
What is that about?
-
Anderson will be in the league so long he will probably get a chance to beat out Brady Quinn's kid.

Fucking hell......you bring up a point.....could Brady Quinn be any worse now than Thaddy Lew? If Tebow can get a chance.....!

Meder had an awesome preseason, Pet loves him.
Pullard plays like Brown too, so do we keep 5 inside linebackers in order to keep special teams Ace Tank Carder?
Tank could be in jeopardy.

Tank is a proven special teams monster. So it boils down to if the staff believes Pullard's effective potential at being a part of the ILB rotation is greater than that of Carder's.

Yes, he could be,and is, worse than everybody in the NFL, which is why he is on TV.

I still think that one of the Bronco's qb's let go...
could be a possibility, cause the Browns need to keep three...
and the third one ain't goin to be no Thad Lewis.
-
maybe i'm wrong but everything I was hearing this year was that Carder's ascended to being part of the starting rotation. Like if Dansby went down Carder is next up. Haven't paid that much attention to the ILB'ers this preseason though. Last night Carder and Pullard looked good though.
-
I've heard Kirskey and Carder have really stepped up, so that it's no longer really Dansby plus one other, it's Dansby & Kirksey, then either Robertson or Carder.

Could they keep them all? Dansby, Robertson, Kirksey, Carder, Pullard? 5 ILBs. Carder and Pullard would both be special teamers.

Unlikely.

I don't see 3 QBs on our 53 and vets aren't PS eligible...
Watched NFL Access late last nite and Brian Billick was talking about Philly and Tebow. General point he made about a third QB was that he has to be a prospect you are developing and that can be done on a PS.
He added that a vet #3 never makes sense because you have to assume that if you ever get to your #3, then you are not looking at winning anyway, so you are better off using that spot for developing a position player.
Bottom line... some rookie is going to come free in final cuts that will be a decent PS option... and Thad is likely just a phone call away.

Tagging onto that I think the reason we keep Pryor is his development at WR AND the fact he can be #3 QB if we get desperate. Lewis just sent in his "goner" card last night.
-
Yes Thad was bad last nite but that OL that was to protect him and possibly block for a RB might have been even worst. Thad has never looked that bad and no way he did it on his own. (except that pryor lead block,LOL).

Yup... Sanchez is the firm #2. Not sure there will be a third, but no telling with Chip...
With Tebow... you could use a Sundial to time his pregressions...
