    Insert CB (?) Mike Adams???

    Cleveland also will have a shakeup in their secondary. The Cleveland Plain Dealer credits a source that cornerback Brandon McDonald will be benched this week in favor of Mike Adams.

    Ummm OK Eric. We have plenty of other cornerbacks on the roster, right? Why play a safety at CB?

      WOW. are you kidding me? at least the nickle package will hopefully be improved as the 5th DB won't be getting smoked, like always..

            So does this mean McDonald will be our nickle guy in the slot?

              Out of the blue AND the replacement makes no rational sense.

              This is the kind of shit we need to start expecting from Mangini.

              I'm not talking QB here, BTW............

              Holy shit! you haven't even seen Adams at the corner yet. At least save your rant for Monday. You lose a lot of credibility when you do that crap. There are people wanting Cribbs over there and your gonna freak out over an actual DB lining up there?

                Oh wait. I just read the entire story and its from the Plain Dealer and they credit "a source". Everyone relax. Adams might have lined up a few times at the corner in practice to work oon cover skills and they're declaring him the starter. Hold the enthusiasm until kickoff Sunday or Mangini says it.

                    He was our most consistent player on Defense.

                    You could count on him to look like a FOOL every week.

                      Thanks for making my Adams-is-an-unknown-at-CB-while-we-have-other-corners-on-the-roster point for me.

                      You're stupefyingly stupid.

                      EDIT: aren't you the tard who thinks Mangini is doing a great job, using Coye Francies as our CB of the future argument as support? You make zero sense.

                      i get that he is an unknown but to be against it before it happens isn't very rational considering what we have as DBs. Hence the "wait until Monday" comment.

                      I guess if I did say that Francies was drafted to be our CB of the future I would be a tard. But I never said that. You have very impressive reading comprehension.

                          Maybe Mangini didn't take too well to that training ground bustup involving Francies. Wouldn't be the first time he went over the top with a punishment...

                            Seems like you think I'm the only one who thinks playing a safety at CB when there are other viable corners on the roster is weird. I doubt I am.

                            I'm sure you'r not the only one but started to talk shit about Mangini like you know something he doesn't about his team. I guess it's a pet-peeve of mine when fans of bad teams can't determine the teams issues and so default to blaming the coaches. It just inaccurately over-simplifies the situation. And, when enough people think this way, I have to hear FIRE THE COACH everywhere I go instead of having an actual conversation about what's actually going on.

                            Sweet Jesus. Then perhaps you can tell me what you meant by this...

                            I guess that secondary is being built for the past, then. Not the future.

                            We were talking about the draft and you think it was a complete disaster. All I was saying is that it was as good as it could have been when you take into consideration team needs, draft value, and draft quality. And so, we took a DB because we needed one, not because he's the second coming of Everson Walls. And still, I want to know how, by drafting the guys you wanted, we will be better in 3 years? Because I can almost gaurantee that if we would follow your model we would be neglecting other key team needs and never improve. Which, is what we have been doing up into this point. For example, if we followed your model and didn't draft WRs in the second round. Next year when Braylon is gone or even if he stays we would either be starting one or two rookies (ie; Kevin Johnson, Quincy Morgan) on the outsides or starting one or two scrap-heap FAs (ie;Furry and Patten). Then, we would still be looking for an offense and be right back where we started. But we would have some good young LBs who will be on the field way too long on Sundays getting burnt at the end of games and adding to our loss column. And so, a wasted draft and another bad year. At least now we have two guys with loads of potential getting acclimated to the league and the system therefore will be ready on day 1 of next year. Or maybe even by the middle of this year. And that, by definition, is drafting for the future.

                            I get the impression that when somebody has a different opinion than you and it actually makes sense, you get angry instead of mulling it over and coming to a conclusion.

                                  If a guy is not performing you bench him.. it does not mean he will never see the field again.. I stil think he can be pretty good. As for the replacement.. I gotta trust the guys that actually watch practice every day instead of the guys who start at computer screens and tv's like us.

                                    Guess I wasn't the only one who thought he sucked last week. Seems like someone called me out for a better description other than he sucked. Maybe he is injured but he did not look good last week

                                      I guess Mangini is hoping to recreate the 2007 Bungles game magic. The rationale being that if Carson Palmer heaves 6 TDs all over Mike Adams dumb face, then Derek Aneurysm has no choice but to at least throw 5, right?

                                      Go skate into an AIDS tree, Mangini.

                                        lets hope it brings at least some physicality to the 2nd corner position on this team. obv. he puts him there for a reason, lets see how he and DA does before we flame at Mangini any more.

                                          B-Mac is a nber, even I know that. Who knows what are who replaces him, but he still isn't starting. The inability of people to "get it" amazes me. They just whine and cry.

                                          Savageites facing reality isn't nice.
