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 ...

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...

Vikings Could Make or Break Browns Draft

With about 10 hours to go before the NFL draft, I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve. I also feel like I could possibly take a trip up to Minnesota to kill anyone in the Vikings front office if they decide to trade there #3 overall pick, therefore blocking the Browns from drafting Bama RB Trent Richardson. In this very possible scenario, Tampa Bay which covets Richardson could very well put a package together to move up the two spots, leapfrogging Cleveland, and picking him forcing the Browns to go with plan "B" (if in fact the Browns do plan on taking Richardson). Minnesota is in a very plausible scenario where it seems that they will select USC OT Matt Kalil , However, they could also move down several positions, adding draft picks in a trade, and still get there guy. For a team like Minnesota who wouldn't mind adding draft picks this year. A trade could very well happen this evening. The other scenario could be the possibility that the St Louis Ram...
