A Three Headed Monster for a Rushing Attack in 2010?

Lets face it. The way we ended 2009 running the ball, we should not be shocked to see a 60/40 run/pass ratio this coming season.  However we have all heard the thoughts on if Jerome Harrison can handle (physically) being an every down back. Last years 6th round pick James Davis looked like a diamond in the rough until being injured during a practice and possibly putting himself in the doghouse after making comments about Mangini and how his practices are run.

Now lets throw rookie RB Montario Hardesty and we got ourselves quite a little three headed monster rushing attack (in theory). And lets not forget the "flash package" with everyone's favorite former Kent State QB Josh Cribbs.

Remember last year the Browns drafted two wide receivers in the 2nd round and neither did much to distinguish himself as a true #1 threat.  Although Massaquio did show some flashes of promise. Passing game will be bleak at best again this season. No matter who is playing QB.

FB Lawrence Vickers currently has not signed his tender but we were able to land the versatile fullback Peyton Hillis from the Denver Broncos when we traded Brady Quinn. Vickers is like a 6th O-lineman, but given that we are running the west coast offense, I don't know how he would fit this system much longer. Not to mention that he is one of the better fullbacks in the league and is looking to cash in.

Finally, with having to play the Ravens and Steelers twice a year we are going to have to keep the ball out of there hands and really take control of the game clock with the run game. With Ed Reed coming of surgery and Mr. Head and Shoulders in Pittsburgh having an injury plagued 2009, this coming season could be a break out running attack year for the Browns.

How Does Johnny Football Figure Into This Years Draft?

With the NFL Draft fast approaching your Cleveland Browns are faced with another slew of challenges (and by challenges I really mean a giant shit storm of problems). It is beyond obvious that GM Ray Farmer is clueless on how to build a team through the draft and all the corner office suits are so inept at there positions that we can't even get any decent free agents to visit let alone sign here. The Browns are currently picking 12th and 19th in the first round. Depending on the mock draft the Browns could be doing anything from trading up with  Tennessee to draft Marcus Mariota or just turning in a blank card on draft day. For once, the Browns should only do one of two things. One: Stay at both 12 and 19 and draft the best available player or your "big board" at those spots. We basically suck at every position but LT, C, and one CB spot. Bolster your roster from top to bottom, add depth, play makers, make smart decisions. If the QB you want is not going to be...

2018 NFL Draft Cleveland Browns Preview

***UPDATE #2*** Per RotoWorld and Jordan Raanan of ESPN: Rumor has it that the NY Giants are only willing to spend the 2nd overall pick in April's draft for a QB if it were going to be Sam Darnold. Read More    Browns also made another move in for the secondary by signing CB EJ Gaines. Read More. **UPDATE** As many of you have probably already scene. The NY Giants traded DE Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Really, three things could happen here. Giants draft a QB or Barkely. They could still trade out with Buffalo or another sneaker team that no one is aware of yet. Finally, and what seems to now make the most sense, they draft DE Bradley Chubb in place of JPP's vacancy.   Who will be the one? Just weeks away from the 2018 NFL Draft and our beloved Cleveland Browns find themselves again picking high in Round 1.  At this point, with the New York Jets trading up to the #3 spot it looks like this draft could be shaking u...

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...
