Reason I'd be quick to discredit denards 100 yard effort is because it was against our inept run defense. If he can run effectively, he'd he good for the occasional trick play I guess.

@westside-steve said: Hey any of you guys who were around since the AOL board, who was the Jaguars fan? I remember there was one who posted on the board quite a bit... WSS I remember him well, he always bit hard on "This Week in the AFC North". Really defended the bottlegate ref gaffe too. Can't remember his name right now ... I wanna say something Thompson? Maybe not. Zomboo

This isn't Umaflyy resurrected is it? WSS

It's Foles time! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000258497/article/nick-foles-expected-to-start-for-eagles-in-week-6

Zombo said: Laugh all you want, but we pretty much control our own destiny. Three games back with six games to go, and five of them against the three teams ahead of us. 10-6, 5-1 Div,, oughta do it. We would have tiebreakers over all three including Bengals who have lost a couple in div. We would just need each of the three teams to lose one game outside of the beatings we put on them. If we don't lose another football game we should be Super Bowl champions. How hard can that be? Z Hey if Hillis gets out there and gets hot, there's no telling what we might pull off. I mean when Hillis is beasting the defense it takes a lot of pressure off of Colt to perform at his best. When McCoy, Cribbs and Hillis get in there and get Chemistry going they are going to be an exciting offense. Plus, with Little coming along... I think he might have all the tools to become a true number 1. Cribbs is proving that he is also a legitimate Wide Receiver, I think he is finally over the experimental phase. When Jordan Cameron and Evan Moore are used to their full potential... Man, it looks promising for our future offense. The Defense is just as well. DQ should be locked up long term. Haden, Ward, Sheard, Taylor, and Rhuben looking real good. I think I heard them say that the Browns came into that last game with the number 1 pass defense in the NFL- that's something... I don't know if we'll run the table against the Steelers and Ravens but I'd love it if we did. Dude we owe Pittstain an ass beating for the shit they pulled on us last season. Harrison better be a marked man this game... Macks got the balls. Plus, damn bro, seeing all those effin flinty fans in our stands, making a mockery of our Dawg Pound last year, yeah- Paybacks a bitch, and it's coming. Hillis is a SENSATION when he's out there and he's going to be SO FRESH it's sickening. He hasn't been nicked up all season and it's just getting past this hamsting... Is it just me or does Momass seem to be getting hit the hardest every time he makes a catch. It's like guys are lighting him up EVERYTIME!

It looks as though the game is moving way too fast for rookie coach Pat Shurmur. (Walker) That's the ESPN take, and I happen to agree. the guy has the "deer in the headlights" look way too often. May well be a very bad hire by Holmgren- Rams fans were thrilled to see him leave St Louis. Don't let the Browns #1 ranked pass defense scare you- because with the 30th ranked run defense, teams aren't bothering to pass on the Browns. If Jones Drew is 1\2 healthy, pencil him in for a 100+ yard game and a couple touchdowns. Joe Haden is having a realy good year @ corner, and Taylor & Sheard were solid pickups. Unfortunately, the line backing with the possible exception of D'qwell Jackson stinks, and saftey TJ Ward will miss the game with a bum foot. Offensively, McCoy can be accurate- if given enough time- which he hasn't had much of this year. Steinbach going out for the year with a neck injury has hurt badly. Teams are just ignoring Joe Thomas, and running over, around, and through the two guards- and RT Tony Pashos isn't much better. Greg Little has looked promising @ wr, and Cribbs has done an adequate job of filling in for the often concussed Mohammed Massaquoi, who may miss the game. Look for the Browns to draft a #1 wideout next year- serious weakness there. Hillis has already been ruled out after he re injured his hamstring a couple of weeks ago- the Browns are being very cautious about getting him back into action, another re-tweak, and it's off to IR. I'm starting to believe in the Madden Curse. Hardesty probably is out too, with a torn calf muscle. that leaves us the stellar Chris Obi-wan-gonobi as the starting running back, unless Shurmur allows a couple of his neurons to communicate, and runs Cribbs out of the WildDawg.

Wow another GREAT move Browns, Jabaal is going to beast. I was hoping for him before our trade but good pick. Your D-line is going to be real good next year.

There is one thing I know is Mangini is not going to tolerate Delhomme getting picked off on throws he should have NEVER made..I would think after Favre, his attitude is too hell withy seniority.. I'm playing the guy that doesn't hurt us..

I underestimated the Jags defense and was shocked to see how good you guys were. Hope you guys go to the playoffs.

mikeyP72 said:I like the BAP strategy but Tyson Alaulu (sp?) I don't believe was a BAP pick. How is he working out for you guys, in comparison to Joe Haden for us? Haden has gotten some action due to injuries and secondary struggles, he's playing pretty solid for a rook. Actually he was a bap pick. He was Gene's guy. As far as performance I don't have comprable evidence, but he's been a solid starter every game with some sacks. Aaron Kampman made him better, but AK74 made everyone on defense better. He's not Suh, but I feel he's lived up to his draft number so far. I'll keep my eye out for Hayden Sunday. Oh and good news for the rook McCoy. Kampman is done for the season. The Jaguars QB pressure this past Sunday was non existent. The last thing a rookie needs is pressure.
