A word to the wise....

Ok, new coaching regimes offer hope, new game plans, new players, new ways of doing things, and new rules. TO ANY CURRENT AND FUTURE BROWNS PLAYERS: IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB AND/OR NOT GET CUT, TRADED, OR THROWN ON IR, DON'T TALK BACK TO THE COACHES AND DON'T THINK THAT HAVING YOUR AGENT TALK SMACK WILL KEEP YOU CLEAR OF ANY BACKLASH FROM ERIC MANGINI.

CASE IN POINT:
Shaun Smith: Punched Brady Quinn last December, most recently got into a heated argument with defensive coach Bryan Cox. Less than 12 hrs later, he was cut. He has since been signed by Detroit.

Syndric Steptoe: During practice last Saturday, he laid out for a ball, fell funny, and hurt his shoulder. Steptoe was put onto the IR. The following day Steptoe's agent called out Head Coach Eric Mangini for allowing players practice during the rain outside.

Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini has disputed an agent's claim that reserve receiver Syndric Steptoe suffered a season-ending injury because of a bad practice decision.

Mangini, who reportedly cut short a Saturday practice because of inclement weather, said the injury Steptoe sustained wasn't a result of field conditions or the nature of the drills.

''Seventy-nine other guys were able to practice effectively," Mangini said Sunday. "And really the play that he was injured on didn't have anything to do with the elements."

Originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Lane College by the Redskins in 2008, Edward Williams was released and spent a short time with the Titans, but finished the season on the Ravens practice squad. He was released by the Ravens on July 22. Williams (6-4, 210 pounds) started 24 of 26 games at Lane and caught 110 passes for 1,608 yards with 13 touchdowns.

Williams was on the field practicing with the Browns during Tuesday night's session.

So for you players out there who may be on the bubble of making the final roster, keep your mouth shut and do what the coach asks.

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 ...

Browns Could be Key to Where Mariota Lands

We all know by that our Brownies currently have picks 12 and 19 in next weeks draft. There are probably countless ways that the Browns could pull something off where we add talent and depth to this team or trade away all there picks for the next 2 years and only have a spread offense QB to show for it. I say if the Eagles will give Chip Kelly the power to make crazy trades, why not try and take advantage of that? Move down a few spots, gain extra picks and just make this team better from top to bottom instead of just focusing on one or two positions. However I don't see Sam Bradford doing any sort of sign and trade to the Browns. He does not want to play in Cleveland, even as the away team. Maybe we could even pull off a trade with the Chargers to get Phillip Rivers. He isn't my most favorite player in the world but compare him to what we have he looks pretty good. Plus you could plug him right in and play from day one. From Draft Insiders- – Expect the talk of teams...
