Cleveland Browns WEAK #2

I believe since the Browns rebirth in "99, they have won only one home opener.  Normally it would be nice to start off the first home game of the season with a win, but after over a decade of screw ups, botched hires, key free agent injuries, and uncertainty in the front office.....we desperately need a win today.

What we learned from last WEAK:
Peyton Hillis can be the man.......as long as he doesn't fumble the ball three times a game.

Jake Delhomme came back from last years form to throw 2 INT's and barely attempt a pass over 10 yards the entire game.

Our receivers so far have not impressed me what-so-ever. We might as well start punting on 3rd and long.

Jerome Harrison apparently was not going to be the feature back this season, making Montario Hardesty's injury that more potent.

Jake Delhomme is listed as doubtful for this week. (It's probably a good thing) Harrison had 268 yards rushing and 3 TD's against this team last season. Hell, I'll take half of that this year if all possible. DQ52 will be out again this week with a hurt boobie, and DT Shaun Rogers is listed and probable.

With Delhomme out, Seneca Wallace will get the nod with the first team "O' while the Chiefs are coming off of a short week with there late game last Monday night in a win over the Chargers.  Right now the only thing that the Browns have going for them is starting a new QB against a defense that hasn't had a full week to prepare. Lets hope that Seneca is our poor mans Michael Vick this week.

Kansas City has some OK talent: Former Buckeye Mike Vrabel, RB stud Jamaal Charles, normal underachiever Dwayne Bowe, long time wide out Chris Chambers, and rookie safety Eric Berry.

Eric Berry was high on many Browns fans draft boards this past off-season.  He was also high with the Chiefs and was grabbed just before our slot in the draft.  However the Browns were able to snag up and coming safety TJ Ward who has more than held is own so far since putting on and orange helmet.  Look for TJ Ward to have a chip on his shoulder today and play with even more intensity showing ever Browns fan that the front office didn't make the wrong selection in round 2.

Whats at stake for the Browns in week 2?
Not only still trying to find an offensive identity, but how will Seneca Wallace run the offense in front of the home crowd  for the first time as a Brownie? Yes, this is only the second game of the season, but improvement and respectability are on the line.  After today's game the schedule gets twice as hard and won't let up until our bye week.

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 ...

The Ongoing QB Competition/Dilemma/Nightmare

I caught the following on a CBS Browns message board earlier today and thought I would share. Normally I don't take much from these, but there are several good points made. Enjoy..... I just got to see his press conference from yesterday, and it sure sounds to me like he has no intention of letting either Anderson or Quinn establish any kind of rhythem at all. Expect a similiar QB rotation to what we endured last Saturday night.....WHY? I understand that he wants to play the match-up game, but how can a QB get the feel for the offense if he's yanked every other drive? The two quickest to reason ideas would be: 1. Both quarterbacks are extremely talented and choosing one over the other is like picking Tom Brady over Peyton Manning . 2. Both quarterbacks are extremely un-talented and it's like having to pick between Alex Smith or Akili Smith. Personally, I have two views on the situation: 1. Mangini wants to create as much value as possible for Derek Anderson so he...
