Lions vs Browns

Matt Stafford has been given the nod to start on Saturday. Who's starting at QB for the Browns? Well maybe Mangini is taking a play from Romeo's playbook and will flip a coin during tomorrow's pregame warm-up.

Eric Steinbach found it hard to belive that Jerome Harrison's 72-yard touchdown run against Buffalo last season was the last time the offense scored a touchdown. read more

Concerns heading into the game are:

No clear-cut starting quarterback....DUH

No clear-cut No. 2 receiver. Right now with Cribbs or with Quinn taking a liking to Furrey, i'm fine with either.

No clear-cut starting center. Lets be honest its gonna be 1st Rd pick Alex Mack.

A No. 1 receiver coming off a drop-filled season. All we can hope for is that the number doesn't expand.

A starting running back who will turn 30 next week. Ok, Jamal has heart but he just can't hit the whole like he used to. Unless our line kicks it up a notch (which I don't want to get into right now, we always have hope don't we?) I don't see anything spectacular coming from the former Volunteer.

A first-time offensive coordinator. Ok you stumped me on this one. (Damn you Mary-Kay Cabot!!!!!)

One other quickie to watch for will be the productivity of newly acquired (and former Brown) Shaun Smith. Will he try to stick it to the man or will he continue to work a less than productive game has he did here in Cleveland.

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 ...

Ok.....Just Hear Me Out on This One.

I have March Madness.  Except my version does not involve basketball.  Mine involves that time of the year where there is no football, no baseball, and my BlueJackets suck right now.  So my full attention is focused on the NFL draft. Everyone and there next door neighbor has there theory on who is doing what and has some source that heard this rumor from a note written on the bathroom wall of a truck stop in Lincoln, Nebraska. In the last several weeks we have the Cleveland Browns drafting in round one Eric Berry, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Joe Haden & God knows who else. However.....what if we chose to draft another offensive lineman? WTF?!?!? You say... Let me ask you this: How did we win the last 4 games of 2009?  RUNNING THE BALL . How sweet would our starting O-Line look with this blocking for Delhomme and Harrison: LT Joe Thomas   LG Eric Steinbach  C  Alex Mack  RG  TBD   RT  Tony Pasho...
