I would have really liked to see them bring a veteran to help these young guys...like a Derrick Mason from a couple of years ago.

Absolutely, I don't know why this front office refuses to bring in a veteran WR to help these young guys.





You mean these 3 don't know how to rebuild a franchise?? :rolleyes:

Put Chilly or jauron in charge and let them at least do what a coach should do---coach the players and make them better. Granted, they will be gone next year as well, but I'll take my chances they can possibly have a positive effect on player development.

"Spreading the field or running the hurry-up will spread the field, force the defense to actually play the perimeter of the field and pay attention between the hashes.

This QB is at his best in the shot-gun with the the field spread. He has the ability to get the ball out quickly and this is a facet underutilized in my opinion.

This type of scheme would essentially open-up the opportunity to run the ball without dealing with the box stacked or cheating LB's and S's."

One problem Lane. Patty boy is our HC, and our players are battling despite the losing and the idiotic dipshit at the helm.

The Browns are 0-8 against Ravens QB Joe Flacco. According to emailer Chuck Stephenson of Los Angeles, CA, the Browns have been outscored in those games, 203 to 91. Stephenson further points out the Browns are 1-14 against Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger and have been outscored, 385 to 159, and are 0-3 against Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton, and outscored, 84 to 64. Adding it all up against current AFC North quarterbacks, the Browns are 1-25 and have been outscored, 672 to 314.

"Going on the road is its own dilemma," offensive coordinator Brad Childress said Tuesday. "Tough defense, very hostile environment, and I think Coach Shurmur puts it the right way when he talks about everybody has seen RV's before, but what do RV's do? They go places and they plug into somebody else's electricity. I think that's what we'll be attempting to do as we head out to Baltimore."

But if he truly wants to fulfill that contract, why doesn't Haslam shitcan Shurmur and get Holmgren to take over in the interim role to fulfill it? I'd feel a lot more comfortable with Holmgren in a coaching role than team president role.
