Great win against a quality team. I DOnt remember many games against good teams where the coaching edge was so advantageous to our Brownies. Stefanski does create opportunity against different styles of D. Pittsburgh will be a different challenge again.. 

Link shows Jonathon Taylor cake walking the edge against schobert last week. Not overpaying for that when you can underpay for that.

RE:  Todd Haley arrival . It is on another level better for the team .He is a guy you can go to war with. Love his approach and how he comes across in Hard Knocks.. This is his offense and it is a huge reason why there will be success on that side of the ball. Hue will let his guys manage and  i think  Todd will go a great job.

When there is a generational talent at a position of need, you take him at #1.

Not only that, An identity is so needed on this team and it finally arrives in the form of Saquon Barkley. Very, very excited.

Also, we should be thanking Chubb for his excellent combine showing. That should lock him up at 3. Leaving only NYG selecting the first QB.

Man oh, man which QB to throw to J.Gordon and crew??

Yes! We're done fucking around.

Let's roll!

Disagree with you Clevfan4life....Def with the Zomboni here...

Get him in there, get a gameplan around him, shove all in and go.

Shelton has been standing out. Keep up it D

Very very tough on a short week with no reps to come into a situation like that and be forced to lead the comeback.

Anything but props to Weeden is unwarranted.

Bridgewater is just awesome.

Mariota, Boyd and Manziel are next in line. (my preference is that order)

Anyone that hates on Johnny football has to rewatch the Bama game. He played better the second time he faced them. He is really really sharp. Mariota and Boyd too.

Great (maybe greatest on paper?) year to be in the hunt for a QB. Never seen anything like it, and likely has more to do with evolution of college FB more than anything.

I can't see Mariota not declaring. He looks great.

WIth the rookie wage scales in place, it makes more economic sense to get in as fast as you can now that you cant get a sam bradford bonus.

Cannot believe so many people are hating on this potential gold mine of a hire. Do you want to keep perma losing??? This guy plays to win! YOu won't see us punting 4th and inches from their 35 anymore.

Creative Innovator on Offense which we so need so badly to go with Jaurons rock solid defence.

Open the chequebook and make an offer he can't refuse Haslem. Get these Brownies instantly into contention.

This is perfect fit for him. We have the youngest team in ball to implement his system and an absolute great RB in Richardson who is such a good interior runner. This is such a fit. Runs the most efficient practices which also fits so perfect for our young team.

Ya'll are crazy.

Hire this guy.

LAMBDO

That was a phenomenal 4th Q. That's a very aggressive ravens d who wanted to rush and make him throw and Weeden moved around in the pocket and threw darts. Don't throw it in on Little yet it takes time to catch those Favre like heaters. He was getting open against a very good cb in Webb.

Two 300 yard games in 4 outings? We have ourselves a player here.

New skies are on the horizon. That game fired me up. We're going to have an excellent team in very short order. Get us Haden back.

draft is at 1:00pm central time ( 5 hours 50min from this post) still one spot open...

There is an odd # of teams at the moment, so let's sneak a team in there!!

Interesting comment from a CFL scout . They had Josh Gordon rated over Stephen Hill. I hate the idea of tossing 2's around, but if he was rated anywhere near Stephen Hill it doesnt sound too bad. Welcome aboard Josh!

I would go Claiborne with #6. Another stud to start opposite numero uno stud Haden. It's a passing league and we need DB's. He is a gem of an athlete. How rare are good cb's you ask? eric wright just got his jeans filled...that's how rare.

I would sign Laron Landry..what the hell? we have the cap space, get him in Jauron's defence as a hybrid nickel LB. rubin and taylor and D'qwell can stop run. he can rush too. More athletes to our strength!

I sign me up a duck and get Lamicheal James at #22. Athlete in space..if i'm Heckert and we're going to west coast it around like Philly did, i'm thinking we need our own brian westbrook.

I like the idea scooping up a guy like Peter Konz from Wisconsin early second. Wisky beat up people this year in college and i dont care about the combine. He could hop over to guard, and shore up a leak for us. i dont know the rest of the OL class very well, but the thought of an addition here considering steinbach and pashos are gone makes it a team need.

It's not a great year for WR's...laurent freakin robinson is getting paid huge dough...unreal.

Gotta hope that G Little decides he's going beast and uses his offseason fine tuning them skills.

I dont know how we get one of real value in this draft, i think it's Blackmon and then nothing too special.

sign me up some T.O perhaps...we browns fans need a bone, even if its cancerous.

QB? it's gotta be McCoy now. lets go Colt!

He was a favorite whipping boy here, but this is one courteous gesture he made as a Brown that he's making good on. Merry Xmas all and well played Braylon.

http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Braylon-Edwards-gave-79-students-10-000-for-col?urn=nfl-wp14415

Is everyone panicking and we're .500? When we beat the Gaider's we're going to be one game out. We have played tough defences ( Cinci / Miami with Sparano's back on the wall / Tenn)

So I don't see how we score less then 20 vs. the raiders.

Can we keep Run DMC in check? Will be tough he's the best back in football..but let the raiders take their penalties

The only thing that is scary is return to the black hole first game back after Al Davis...it will be a wild scene so we have to keep it close in the first Q.

Positives: winning a tough fight of a game - the dolphins did not want to give that one up...they played hard defence all day and our crew stepped up with a win. there was a ton of pressure on sparano for that one and they certainly threw alot at the browns.

WR's made plays today...it was fun to watch

d-line, haden and ward are just fun this year..thanks dick jauron.

Negatives: excessive celebration calls...that one on massqoui is xxxxing ridiculous. get it together NFL way too many cheese ball rules to allow the refs to control the game.

Positives:

Phil Taylor / Athyba Rubin combo : man are they good inside the trenches.

Colt Mccoy - Played well enough .

Shurmur : I thought the play calling kept the colts D off balance from consistenly predicting the play and Mccoy executed..I was impressed.

Dick Jauron - Held Indy to FG's till the bitter end. Beauty job by the D buckling down in our end.

That Owen Marecic wears no gloves: retro bonus points.

T.J Ward and Joe Haden are outright stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuds.

The WR's only had two passes defended and no ints. they did a good job.

Negatives: Four fumbles forced by Indy..hang on to the ball boys

Good win in my books! Let's get fired up for Miami

PRO's

Maturity improvement w/ age,Doesn't have erratic Derek Anderson throwing inconsistent heaters (should help much in the drop dept.) His toughness came back blocking and playing / catching balls inside for Rex and the Jets. Has ability to be a star #1 WR. red zone threat. New regime here now, none of the Mangenius bullshit amatuer antics holding team morale back. Could come relatively cheap. could make my Braylon jersey relevant again.

CON's: seen this show once. attitude questions. drop questions still.

thoughts?

Why do these homeboys continue to party it up in Cinci? Cops just crawl all over these guys. Given his track record it's easy to dismiss, but seriously it sure seems like every bengal who goes for drink gets a ticket

speaking of CFL: Pryor signed to SK Riders neg list a couple days ago
