@choco said: the great prognosticator hath spoken! to summarize, if the offense sucks, we'll lose. if the QB position continues to suck, we'll lose. take notes people....these are unforgettable insights! Nominee for zing of the week.

What's Up Dogg Pound?!??!? Two weeks from tonight! I cannot wait to glimpse into are future. With the Steelers and Ravens getting older, the cycle will have Browns and Bengals on top!!! Anyway, the guys at SPORTSMASHER just released another mocj draft (version 4.0) and it's really detailed and interesting. They have use going with Richardson at #4 (which I think is the right move, I'd rather wait on a back, but we need one and he's the best since Peterson) And Mike Adams, the big right tackle out of Dublin by way of Ohio State at #22. I'd be okay with this, we need to improve on offense, our defense is not awful and just needs some tweaking. Here is their mock, check it out: SPORTSMASHER'S MOCK DRAFT Plus the rumor is they are live blogging the draft, good stuff!

@brownfish said: Coples looked pretty good...SEC strength didn't show up...running backs were a no show...couple nice punt returns...Adams looks to be a nice pick. The Georgia punter was really solid I think that Joe Adams was by far the most dominant player out there...quick, fast, nice separation...I was leaning towards D. Jones for a later 2nd early 3rd but Joe may go of the board earlier than i thought. Joe Adams just made himself a lot of money, especially if there is nothing at the combine that raises a red flag like running 4.9 40's or only has a 4 inch vert.

@tampadawgs said: whos going to throw Blackmon the Ball??? Does it matter? Colt I'm guessing. We need weapons. There is no point in drafting or picking up a quarterback and throwing them in the same shitty offense because they aren't going to be any better.

Happy Birthday to you ! The Browns will win - that will make this season a winning season for me.

I bet the Browns also probable have forced the most turnover on downs in the red zone this year as well. I didn't hear anything about that stat. Not to mention the Browns gave up a number of points on special teams this year.

It is because my music, books,, articles, seminars, studio work, and production has provided me an income/royalty stream enabling me to relax, travel, own multiple homes, take care of my family and loved ones, and even donate to people like you and your family; the 50% of Americans who don't pay income tax and who run around with their hands out looking for g'bimnt cheese. My productions and playing credits include gold record writers, grammy winning and gold medal artists. Shit music you say? Yeah, I agree, Ghoolie's musit IS THE SHIT. But hey, why not tell us of YOUR great accomplishments? Please, don't be afraid, This board has LIMITLESS BANDWITH so you can post all the empty, blank message you want to. Be mt guest, have at it. OKay, c'mon, I'll help you get started........... "The first day of your job search you hung out in front of the drug store..........." Yeah, and Milli Vanilli had a top 10 hit, excuse me if I'm not impressed. My accomplishments? I'm 22 years old, I own a house, I serve at the soup kitchen monthly and I make my money playing the sport that you spend your free time bitching about. I was listed as a national top 100 prep lineman as a sophomore, the year I DIDN'T even play football. I passed up division 1 scholarships to South Carolina, N.C. State, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Rutgers so I could play at the closest university and take care of my blind, double amputee father. And in 2 years, you'll have the pleasure of being able to call me a dime-a-dozen NFL lineman all you want.

@htownbrown said: He will not affect the draft whatsoever. I agree. They should choose someone not based on whether Marcus Bernard may be back. He may just be a backup LB or DE. What might affect the draft selection process is if they get someone in free agency.

Stoolie does root for another team.... The Stoolers.

little has got bitten by the bitch bug that every player on the O has right now. our receivers are playing dumb and slow. (the offensive scheme isn't helping). our defensive tough guys taylor sheard and rubin should corner these dudes and put the fear of god in them telling them they better start producing or they'll start getting lumps....without the helmets on.

@cantonlegend said: You guys can't cheer on any players that have good games unless they are a rookie QB. Good thing you'll have another one next season The browns actually have pretty decent linebackers. Jackson is the leading tackler because he's the middle linebacker. Nearly every team in the league has their MLB lead in tackles. Jackson doesn't lead in tackles because he's cleaning up messes. He leads because that's the nature of his position I'd cheer for him if he was an up and coming linebacker, but not one they paid 17 mil to keep. He doesn't start for 80% of the other teams in the league.... he played for the Eagles for four years and they traded him for Alex Hall and a Bag of Chips (4th and 5th rounder....and Brown was part of the deal, so he was probably straight up for that bag of chips...) and their defense isn't/wasn't stellar. Other than Jackson, I'm not real sure what pretty decent linebackers you speaking of? Maviva? Spears? Jacobs? (Titus Brown might be a sleeper but he plays behind Jackson, so we aren't likely to see anything from him anytime soon.) Although I'm glad Maviva is in for the Fujita.... think its time to part ways with him. Watching him jog after TE's in coverage is getting old. Problem is they have all that cap space and they pay someone like Gocong to much but won't bring in other FA they need and it pisses people off. So maybe he gets more hate then he should, but when I see him making most of his tackles from behind a runner or grabbing someone by the waste and holding on for the ride, instead of planting people like he did Mendenhall on those plays it gets frustrating. No trouble here cheering for guys. Think Sheard is an animal and looks great in almost every game he's played in so far. The young DT's play well and hopefully Taylor keeps improving. There aren't many holes in the gaps up the middle for anyone to run through. Haden plays great game after game. They pick up a, FS, CB, 2 OLB and another DE and they are set...
