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 ...

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...

Josh Cribbs Our "Special" Teamer

Just added : Five things you didn't know about Josh Cribbs Well as most of us know, the NFL's version of the all star game (more like a laughable little league coaches game) was this past weekend. The Browns managed to have two players selected. The outdoors man LT Joe Thomas and some other guy named Josh , who's last named escapes me at this time. In the past I never watch the Pro Bowl, it is a joke and the players are there to just basically relax, have fun, and collect there $10k-$20k game checks. I did tune in to this game because nothing else was on at the time and in doing so I found something interesting. During the Browns season, I normally watch the game on CBS and at least half the time I watch the game on TV with the mute button on and then turn the radio on to listen to Jim Donovan give the play by play. Nothing beats a local commentator giving you the "RUN WILLIAM RUN" lines than hearing Ian Eagle and Steve Tasker give lame attempts to inspire th...
