I know it goes without saying but Pointbriand still gets an A+.

And you thought no one would get your reference.

Does this make the Steelers or Ravens the Goers?

I'll settle for a wakka at this point.

We are the Aurochs.

I deserve to be ostracized for that reference. Fortunately, I don't believe that it's going to be recognized here.

If I'm picking up the referance right, they at least got to their equivilent of a super bowl.

At least the waterboy'd be able to hit somebody.....

This is madness.

Madness? This is CLEVELAND!!

again i ask... who the hell is AD?

AD is Peterson. Can't remember why he wasn't called AP like would've made sense.

I liked that the New England one was done in a Boston accent.

"The Colts are one Manning injury away from 5-11" how true.

an equipment aide standing out of bounds made a beautiful shoestring catch of it

Can we sign him? Anyone who can catch a pass DA 'intentionally' throws away could at least make the practice squad.

My favorite part of the presser:

(On the drill performed at practice) - "That's a tackling drill that we will do it pretty close to everyday during training camp. That's one of those things where people get to pro football and a lot of people think, 'I've tackled a thousand times or I've done this a million times, I'm a great tackler.' But there are a lot of things that you can teach them on that drill. It's straight ahead, we have another one that's an angle tackling drill, and we use that to teach the runners how to run better, to teach the tacklers how to take better angles. It's one-on-one, it's not contact now, but there will be times during camp where it will be full contact or live. But it's a skill like anything else, blocking, tackling, catching the football and we want to keep repping that fundamental to make sure that we can minimize the amount of missed tackles, and then also teach our guys the best way to run with the football and isolate that skill set and help them."

I'd sure love to see some real tackles getting made, no more of this arm tackling.

how about an established TD passer, a leader, team captain, former pro bowler....

hmmm... anybody like that on the roster?

Josh Cribbs?

He's handling it better the Cutler at least...

It's more likely that we'd draft Curry if he is there, but the recent drug test by Raji means the Chiefs won't likely pick him up and take Curry instead, in which case Crabtree is the better option (or a trade down).

Only problem is that it leaves us without a starting caliber qb. We could really make strides on defense with 4 picks in the first two round though.

Doesn't it make sense though? If you have a need at both QB and LT, and they're both availible now, but comparable QB's are availible next year at your projected draft pick whereas comparable LT's are not availible, wouldn't you take the LT?

I think he would be a great pickup. We take him, he's the number 2 cornerback, we put McDonald in the nickel, Cribbs can move to safety and we can have Burnett on punt returns and both Burnett and Cribbs on kickoffs. They're both dangerous and this would keep both of them fresh as well as allowing us to experiment with Cribbs at safety.

64 tackles last year, 49 solo, and 2 interceptions. He might have lost a step or two but I'd see him as a solid pickup. A vet saftey would be nice in the event we can't or don't draft a safety and if nothing else he'd be a solid backup.

That'd be one hell of a draft, patches a bunch of holes. Pairing them all up with the free agent backups/special teamers ManKok signs would if nothing else be a huge step in the right direction.

We're getting a lot of college coaches recently. I'd start to wonder about Mangini's hiring process now, but I'll have to wait and see how they do.

WCO = NO DA

CLEVELAND = WCO (ish)

CLEVELAND = NO DA
