Browns vs Titans Preview

Well the Tennessee Titans visit Cleveland at 7:30 tonight for what should be another dismal QB show by the Browns.

As of 9:20 am there is still no word on who is starting at QB, Anderson on Quinn. I once embraced the idea of giving both of these guys as many reps in the preseason games as possible, but since neither has pulled ahead in the QB battle, just give the helm to Quinn and lets move on already. There is two weeks until these games start counting, so lets give the starter some additional reps with the first team already!

Mary Kay-Cabot of the Plain Dealer seems to feel that this whole QB battle is a smoke screen to not divulge too much game film of either QB to Minnesota for our regular season opener. If that is the case, Man-Genius is Man-Tarded. If he thinks this will give us a better shot against the Vikings on Sept 13 he is surely a resident of Wonderland (or EVIL).

As many of us know, the third preseason game is where the majority of the first-teamers will play into the third quarter. Some questions that may have some light shed on them may be:

Can DA move the ball against better teams and not just the scrubs?

Will yearly August MVP Jerome Harrison (undisclosed injury) be backing up Jamal Lewis, or will James Davis see more action?

Will we even be able to run the ball tonight?

Will we see more of struggling C Alex Mack with the first team offense?

Will Shaun Rogers see the field tonight (undisclosed injury)?

Will our future WR depth chart be shown this evening? So far it looks like Edwards, Furrey, Cribbs. But rookie Mohammad Massaquoi has had a strong training camp.

All we can really hope for still is a competitive game. The Titans only lost 3 games last season, not 16 like the Lions did on '08. The talent level is obviously much higher down south than it is in the motor city.

Shaun Rodgers and Some Insight on the Draft

A customer of mine told me once one of the greatest words to live by some years ago. “Never let your meat loaf.” Back when I heard this I only thought of it in a sexual context. But after hearing of the release of DT Shaun Rodgers this past week I was able to apply this great piece of advice from a half senile old man in a different way. The 10 year veteran had played only sparingly over the past two seasons. He ended the 2009 season on the I.R. (as so many others did as well). This past season sometime during training camp, Rodgers became gimpy and turned into the Lance Armstrong of stationary bikes. During the regular season Mr. Rodgers was lucky to play 20 snaps a game. 2009 stats: 11 games played, 11 game starts, 36 tackles (9 assisted) 2 sacks. 2010 stats: 15 games played, 1 game start, 17 tackles (3 assisted) 2 sacks. Shaun's salary in 2010 was $6.9 million, his base for 2011 was 5.5 million. Really didn't take a rocket scientist to figure ...

The Pooh Has Hit The Fan

Its been about a week since my last post. But its been very difficult to write about something that isn't worth writing about. So what I am going to do is simply post everything interesting I have been able to come across during the past few days. Oh, in case you didn't hear, the Browns let the door hit the ass of general manager George Kokinis on his way out. AFC North Stock Watch Adam Schefter talks about Cleveland getting rid of GM George Kokinis and what this means for Eric Mangini ( video ) The BROWN OUT Eric Barton going on I.R.? Mantarded's Master Plan ? The Browns should lose there Monday Night Football spot. Tedy Bruschi Defends Eric Mantarded. Browns Fans Say Owner Has Dogged Determination. Browns Owner " sick " about state of Browns, but won't fire Mantarded.

Josh Gordon: Not that difficult of a decision.

Josh Gordon is making steps to set himself up for reinstatement by the NFL. But do we want to see him in a Browns uniform again? He is still just 25 years old. He may be in shape, but is he in football shape? Does he actually realize that this is his last chance? Do we even care because the Browns will be lucky to even win two games this year? My thoughts (for what little they are worth), just move on. We are beyond rebirth again at this point. To me he is just taking up a roster spot from someone who hasn't screwed up 10 times and/or from someone who actually loves to play the game and wants to show up to practice and become a household name on Sundays. Hugh Jackson and his coaching staff need to realize this and work with the loaded WR roster we currently have. Mold these youngsters into what you want and need and roll with it. Why: Because, Josh has not played an NFL game since December 21, 2014 and has been suspended for 27 of his last 32! Next time, I w...
