I'm assuming you've read Lane's updates in the "rumors" section on the OBR? Good stuff.

No I haven't been traveling, got home late and straight in this morning. I'll check it out this evening.

Marla Ridenour ‏ @ MRidenourABJ # Browns Shurmur on Weeden: "You can't take a guy who's not aggressive & make him aggressive."
Is he for real? He might have played like shit Sunday, but if he is not aggressive it is because of Shurmur. The guy came into the league with the rep of being a gunslinger. His aggressiveness is not the problem.

Biggest thing that jumped out was that the Browns were easily tipping their hands on what they'd run just by their personnel groups. Said Ravens shut down 6 of 7 plays just due to knowing what was coming ahead of time.

Had some things about Weeden, Cowher, Gruden, Holmgren (they haven't asked him to coach), etc. And, supposedly, NO interest in Mike Lombardi.

Yeah, just because Shurmur's a pussy, he doesn't need to think that everyone else is a sackless wonder. If anything, I'd think Weeden was TOO aggressive and they'd have to reign him in.

Browns voted worst organization in Sporting News midseason players poll

http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-11-06/worst-team-organization-browns-jaguars-raiders-sn-midseason-players-poll

Haslam needs to make a statement (sooner than later) that there is going to be some accountability from now on and the incompetence will no longer be tolerated.

He should have fired Shurmur yesterday and put everyone else on notice.

Having a head coach know he is gone creates a toxic environment that is not helpful to a young team heading into next year.

I know what Haslam said about waiting until after the year, but sometimes circumstances change and you have to adapt. Shurmur is already starting to throw players under the boss to try and cover his ass, and it is just not a good environment for anyone.

I was fine with it looking like he won't be fired until the end of the year but if he's gonna be a bitch he needs to gtfo now.

I think a better scenario would be if Shapiro and Antonetti got to pick our president. They would have have recycled some of the former presidents that are washed up and in a nursing home. And gave Grady whatever he wanted to be VP.

One thing I noticed last week that I had not noticed before. Weeden shied asay from contact a few times. The one time he threw the ball like a girl, crumpled to the ground and turned his back to the hit….damn-that looked bad…..

I think the outcome would have been the same. They would have picked up obama's option and banked on him getting back to 2007 form. Lightning in a bottle.

You think that's bad, do you remember on JJ when no one could spell Charlie Weis' last name (even easier to spell) right when he was still at ND?

lol, I stayed away from the college fball forum on JJ. Footwedge's spellings of pro athletes is comical. He referred to Wade as Duane Wade. LOL.

You should also do yourself a big favor and stay off the political boards as well. Your one trick pony at this site is right here on the Browns thread. Your life...bash the Browns....and bash Jordo.

Take a walk, mow the grass, smell some coffee, take in a movie, read a book. Life offers much more. That way, you won't remember an anonymous guy mispelling a name on a fukkin internet board 2 years ago.

It's very, very hard there Slick. I will mispell his name every time for now on. Anything to crumple your underwear is a winner for me.
