Your 2009 Cleveland Browns


Of course with any Cleveland team there are going to be negatives. We currently sit about 1/3 of the way through this season, so lets take a look at the vast collection of negatives that have accumulated so far.

Eric Mantarded was hired.
We traded down in the draft and picked a center.
The whole "who's gonna start at QB" debacle.
Stallworthless.
Lurch at starting QB for the foreseeable future.
Sir Drops a Lot gets traded for another guy (Chansi Stuckey) who's hands seem to be related.
The Cleveland Browns have dropped 16 passes the past two games.
The trade deadline came with no movement.
Our leading tackler is on the I.R.
Brian Robiskie (our first 2nd rd pick) seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.
Our most promising rookie (out of camp at least), James Davis, was put on the I.R. after some extra curricular activities.
Our current 1-5 record.
Our lone win of 6-3.
Josh Cribbs not getting a new contract.
People at ESPN talkin smack (thanks T.G.)
Eric Wright flipping his car.
The fact that our defensive coordinator looks like "The Dude" and/or Miss Piggy.
Josh Cribbs still looking to restructure his contact. (C'mon Lerner).
12 players currently have the flu or flu-like symptoms.
Three passing TD's so far this year. The recipeints were Robert Royal, Steve Heiden, and FB Lawrence Vickers. Not exactly our top play-makers.

As we head into this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers (our 2nd time this year). Don't expect much from our defense. With 25% of the team battling the flu, our leading tackler gone for the year, and our best conerback in Eric Wright now finished playing Dukes of Hazzard in his Mercedes, I'm not sure if several single game passing and total yard records will be broken by Aaron Rodgers and his team.

Don't expect much from our Brownies this weekend and just pray that if you don't have the NFL package on Direct TV that Fox will be showing a much better game at 1pm Sunday.

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 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...

The Season That was 2009

I know some have you have given me the WTF. Well get over it. With the playoffs now starting today, us Brownie faithful now turn our attention to off season departures (or lack thereof, how the hell our Off Cord kept his job I will never know), Josh Cribbs contract dispute, free agency, and of course the draft in April (where we pick 7th). Questions on offense...... Although I wanted Brady Quinn to be the starter all season, the only flash of anything positive came against the Detroit Lions where the play calling was really aggressive and lets be honest, even Lurch (DA) could have scored at will against there porous defense. Alas Brady is not the answer. And DA could only make one other QB in the league look good..... JaMarcus Russell . But do we draft another Notre Dame player in the first round again? Jeff Faine and BQ obviously have not worked out. Jamal Lewis will retire, but Jerome Harrisons stock is on the rise. (man, saying that made me feel like Mel Kiper). And lets not for...
