ATENEARS, that was an excellent response. Thank you. And I do see improvement in the D, and some things I've been waiting for for years. Accepting the 'rebuilding' process is certainly a good thing to do. The Offensive struggles make it difficult to focus on the rest of the parts that are doing better / improving. But I have been noticing the change in the Defense, and the dominance of our Special Teams. As an aside, I still really like Wimbley, and I'm excited to see development and production out of him after a few down years.

@fooleeze said:Lost in the bottom of this article I see that Rod Hood was cut yesterday or today. In other Browns news, the team made a surprise cut by releasing veteran cornerback Rod Hood. Cleveland signed Hood in free agency after he was a solid contributor for the NFC champion Arizona Cardinals in 2008. DA made the guy look "All Milky Way" a couple years ago in Arizona. It was tough to shake that first impression until Tennessee did so. - Tom F.

It's official!

I have always admired the Chiefs organization.The ownership has always been pretty classy. I hope they didn't just get Scott Mitchell.

@vegasdogg said:True and I am in his corner. But lets admit his handlers are screwing this one up pretty bad so far. He isn't coming to camp, then he is but won't play in the games? He gets fined an awful lot of money to prove a point. The Browns are just as bad in thier dealings with him, but then again they don't say much do they? What I don't get is what is the sense of sitting out games and getting fined if the point you are trying to make is you want more money? I understand that you want to show them your serious and your teammate understand why you are doing it, but sitting out only hurts the team and teammates. I hope it doesn't come to that.

@riffer-x said:Similar topic but I had a dream about this fat bitch at work and the Cavs last night. She is from Florida and thought it was really funny to make fun of us Cavs fans during a meeting in front of about 30 other Cavs fans. Joke didn't go over very well and she kept it up. Dumb chick lost any friends she thought she had over pretending to be some kind of Magic fan. She didn't even know they were a BB team until she moved up here. Sounds like some Steelers fans to me.

AdaM said:If by looks like a QB you mean, looks like a 9-year-old, then yes. He kinda looks like Cutler's little brother Hellish unibrow! Seen that somewhere around here before?? DWJ

If they want to give the Browns a D+ then that's their business but they need to explain the grade a little better than to say they're rebuilding. A D+ would suggest they've done some stupid stuff. I don't see it that way.

Didn't see this mock listed here anywhere, Jamie Dukes from NFL.com put a Mock together that has Curry dropping to the Browns. I think most of us would be happy with that, but I can't say I believe it. http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story?id=090...mp;confirm=true If I am duplicating a mock, then please let me know and I'll remove the thread.

@furnier said: Pittshole went 12-4 with essentially the same schedule. If you can't play against the best the NFL has to offer, than you should just roll up and die. We need a maniac coach here next year. We f'ing entered the opening Dallas game with the attitude that it was already lost and we'll give Pittshole our best shot in week 2. That was a GLARING sign right there that this season wasn't gonna be fun. Doug Bingo Furns, bingo.

Fact is Dorsey isn't going to be any worse then Anderson was Sunday. It will be the same game plan. Run, run, run, and short dump offs. What would be smart is to incorporate Cribbs into a couple of sets with a limited number of plays, not just have him take the snap and run. He can handoff just as well as Dorsey can, plus he could keep it or throw it. Can't do worse then no TDs in last 8 qtrs.

(If the wife will let me). Lay down the law. Tell the broad how it's going to be! If we don't see you posting for a while, we will know how that went.

@pl4tinum said:That's pretty cool... lucky you! Is it just me or is ESPN.com and NFL.com making this into a much bigger issue than it really is? They are trying to make it sound like he cut the damn thing off in shop class! He hurt it in the first quarter of the game, finished and won, its not a frickin femur! Its a damn felangie(sp)!

@brownindian said:Washington Red Skins I'm not saying Dawson is crap, im merely saying that if there was someone better go for him. (But we do have bigger problems that needs immediate attention ) There is the catch. . . "If there was someone better, go for him. . . " There really isn't anyone better right now. And I think he's 4th on the all-time NFL percentage list. . . so you could argue that there are only 3 kickers in the history of the NFL that are consistently 'better' than him. This year, 22-24, with the only two misses coming at over 50 yds (3-5 from 50+). 91.7% this year. Career: Mike Vanderjagt: 86.47 Shayne Graham: 85.39 Matt Stover: 83.82 Phil Dawson: 83.60 We've been so jaded by misery and failure for so long, that sometimes it seems we can't recognize the little successes when they kick one down our throats from 50+ yards away. Especially considering he's been doing most of his kicks in CLEVELAND, that FG% is amazing (and so is that of Matt Stover).

\ said:Good post and welcome. No...if you don't have good backers....you have the Browns version of a 3-4. very well put it's not really his job to stop the run as much as it is his job to eat up blockers so the lonebackers can stop the run. Our linebackers tho some are promising just seem to suck. Could it just be defensive play calling? I'd like to think so but on either end i say.. Corey williams great pick-up. This year we'll have a draft to work with to get some real impact talent.

Stallworth playing....and nice in stride catch from #10. DWJ
