I am not speaking of a screen, but it seemed like TRich was pretty wide open in the flats on quite a few plays. If Weeden can't make a simple dump pass, then hate to bring it back up, but there was no reason to draft his ass. That is just pathetic.

They have failed to complete a screen pass....it doesn't matter who's at running back. When I played in college, we ran tons of rb screens...it really isn't that hard of a throw!

Yeah, this isn't Weeden "specific." Seems like these morons have had issues effectively running screen passes for years.

They might be able to actually get the pass off and completed with a TON of wide open real estate in front of them but then either a) the dumbass back runs straight towards a defender who makes the tackle or b) the butthead O-Linemen run right past the guy who they are supposed to block who makes the tackle. :(

You forgot to mention Hardesty ducking away from passes thrown to him and then look at Weeden in shock that a ball was thrown his way.

Got you, and I think you have a point. Weeden comes from the Air Raid at Ok State and Richardson comes from the pro style that Alabama runs. I've always considered Weeden to be a product of the system (see Graham Harrell, Chase Daniels, Zach Robinson). Weeden has to adapt to the pro style offense for it to work, because, even though he is fast, I dont really picture Richardson as the type of shotgun or third down back.

Also, let's not forget Weeden was throwing to 2 first round WR's in Dez Bryant/Justin Blackmon and in the Big 12 where defense is optional.

Have no issue with stretching the field but until Weeden can prove he can consistently make those throws AND the receivers can get open, some intermediate stuff wouldn't hurt.
i was at the game and there were several plays were weeden checked down and threw to backs. one play really stood out he dumped off to marecic who dropped the pass. down field ben watson was at least 30 yds in clear waiving his arms .

Sadly, everyone in the stadium except for Weeden saw that.....a complete busted coverage and an easy touchdown.

The Browns are the shortest (6-1.1), lightest (242.6 pounds), youngest (25.55 years old) and least experienced team (3.25 years) in the AFC this season, according to the NFL.
