A little consistancy from or D wouldn't hurt any either. I would agree that many teams ran because they simply didn't have to pass. I do love this time of year when we are all full of hope and intrigue about what this year will bring to the browns fans! I can sense the bitterness of past pain in some of these posts, LOL. I just want to take it one step at a time, what I mean is I want this team to simply be a gamer. I don't want teams looking at us pre season and just marking a "W", we need to at least get respectable first. Win a few close ones and not make a mistake to give the game away. Establish a "respectable' running game, make a few plays on offense and at least put up a fight on defense. I am not looking for a new team (although I wouldn't mind) but right now a step to the good would be just fine with me. My father in law is from Pittburgh and a fan so one win this year agains the steelers would help mend some of my broken bones! ;) LOL, Lets go Brownies!!!!

Miava took all of Gocong's snaps today. Yikes. I hope we can pick up some other team's scraps as the preseason continues.

Wallace has been especially awful today. Colt looks like the backup. Per Mark Schwab.

It definitely brings the lulz. Calm down there shook, you are setting yourself for a huge disappointment if you aren't cautious.

after practice colt mccoy cried to the media, saying along the lines when we started camp i thought it was going to be a competition but i (as in colt) never received snaps with the first team. its unclear if he will ask for a trade.


@ MaryKayCabot: # browns colt McCoy said "I haven't taken any snaps w/ first group. I thought coming in it would be a competition"”

Daryl Ruiter ‏ @ RuiterWrongFANMcCoy declined to say of he wants trade or out "we'll see what happens"

Tony Grossi ‏ @ TonyGrossiColt Mc Coy not happy: I thought coming in it would be a competition. Declined to say if he wants trade.

Daryl Ruiter ‏ @ RuiterWrongFANMcCoy clearly not happy a out finding out before practice but bit his lip as he always does

Daryl Ruiter ‏ @ RuiterWrongFANMcCoy said he came in expecting a competition but didn't get reps with the 1s pic.twitter.com/XtUL1Ckh

Faux John Madden ‏ @ FauxJohnMaddenBrowns name Brandon Weeden starting QB. Colt McCoy threw something out of frustration, but it hopped 6 yards short of his intended target.

lol


Will Burge ‏ @ WillBurge# Browns starting QB Brandon Weeden said "it will be nice to get hit a couple times" when asked about the 1st preseason game

Daryl Ruiter ‏ @ RuiterWrongFANWeeden - That is what i wanted; that was my goal; it's a privilege to start for this team

Daryl Ruiter ‏ @ RuiterWrongFANWeeden says not much changes - just going out to do best he can; doesn't change his attitude pic.twitter.com/4XJ3EGCn


Daryl Ruiter ‏ @ RuiterWrongFANWeeden - I don't take any rep for granted; took mindset coming in to be the starter but realizes tough league and based on wins and losses

Russell Lande ‏ @ RUSSLANDE@ AdamSchefter - Smart move by # Browns as Weeden is as ready mentally & maturity wise as any rookie QB has been in a number of seasons.

McCoy is a little cry baby bitch. You knew you weren't going to start so shut up and get better.

Im sure the bolded part has something to do with Weeden tearing the Browns secondary up... Just saying.

As for McCoy, cue iggypride's post, can't wait to see it!

thats what i'm saying. if he honestly thought there was going to be a real qb competition, he is dumber than I thought. but I'm seeing it tweeted by mary kay and pro football talk how is is QQ over not getting a fair shot. colt you've had two years to prove yourself and in camp this year, its not like you are airing it out and taking chances you're still captain check down, fucking let it fly, what are you going to lose? 2nd string? get over yourself, you WOULD NOT start for any other team in NFL.

Read this part and thought it was your impressions. Shocked to see that he actually said that. Coming out of college all we heard was he is a class act. Since then there's been a lot of QQ'ing from him and his family. Guess true colors come out in tougher times...

Neither. Kiss.Of.Death. Soon as you get one, career ending injury. Wait until they've done something.


As far as the McCoy thing...meh. Appreciate the service he gave the team. Wasn't dealt the best "hand" but you've got to do something with the cards you're dealt. Not an NFL starter but I think he might be a solid "change of pace" backup/spot starter. Yeah, it comes across as QQing but I'm not gonna pile on. That ship has sailed. It's Weeden's time....
