Cleveland Browns (2014 Season)

[NFBuck]

Agree with a lot of this.
I bet it doesn't even take that long. You said week 3 in another post, I bet it'll be week 3... of the preseason.
We could have Peyton Manning and the media wouldn't let him settle into the starting job.
I personally like Hoyer. I want to believe in Hoyer. But he's mediocre at best, and he already looks unnerved and unsettled. He's playing like a guy whose lost the job.
Manziel is still [Mark May]... but the media will never let it go until he falls flat on his face or proves to be Brett Favre. Even the locker room is split. I saw some article where Whitner was talking how all the vets wanted to see Manziel start... shameful.
So may as well throw him to the dogs and get it done with. The Front Office did this to themselves and the team... g.d. idiots.
I bet these fools believe in every "hooker with a heart of gold" story too.

Dustin Fox was saying today that the coaching staff has been disappointed with Manziel both mentally and physically so far. That's kind of ambiguous, and sounds second hand, but it certainly wouldn't be surprising. I've never, ever, seen him as a good pro prospect. His bread and butter in college was using his feet to either a) gain yards in huge chunks on the ground, or b) buy enormous amounts time for his receivers by rolling outside of the pocket. He will not be able to do either with any consistency in the NFL. He looked exceptionally average moving around in the first 2 preseason games. NFL defenders are too fast. If he somehow manages to not be a total bust, I'll eat a plateful of crow, but I don't see it at all. I think he will join Couch, Quinn, and Weeden on the 1st round QB bust train.

Oh no. He'll be much, much worse. To quite a movie - "it's going to be biblical".

I'm just hoping this is a smoke screen to get Pittsburgh preparing for the read option only to never see it.

If this was any other team, it would be such a smoke screen. With the Browns .......

Fuck. How could I forget the "it's Cleveland" factor?

Edit: I'm just hoping Haslam's claws aren't on this decision. It's not good for business when the big name rookie doesn't play.

E$$$ECPN might have an exploding orgasm if Michael Sam sacks Johnny FUBAR....come to think of it, Michael Sam might as well...

Just wait for Week 11.. guaranteed he's starting by then, unless he's already been snapped in half.

I'm actually hoping this happens.

This should be a great test of the Oline. Facing the best defensive line in football.

 

[Buckeneye]

Good pressure by Mingo. Beat Jake Long.

 

[Buckeneye]

Sweet, apparently the Rams are picking up 3 rd and 25 like its fucking madden.

 

[Buckeneye]

Bino!!!! Way to rep buddy!!

 

[Buckeneye]

That's 3 Rams players. Really hoping that this injury bug doesn't come around to us. Please... God.

Edit: Gilbert has good make up speed. Need to get your head around though.

 

[OleOleOleOle]

Well so far today our secondary looks crappy.

Wake up back there boys, making Bradford and Hill look like good QB's here haha.

 

[Buckeneye]

Dropping 8 and letting Hill thread passes. Bademosi way too far from his man.

Seriously. So much for the awesome DB's. I wonder if these guys are gun shy after all the flags the first 2 weeks or if they're just shitty.
