I have yet to see anything on the game field that makes me think Jerome Harrison can't be a 15 - 20 touch per game running back. A lot of people say he's too small to be an every down back. Look at the below comparison and see if that makes sense to you. Keep in mind, this comparison has nothing to do with talent, only size.Jerome Harrison: 5' 9" 205 poundsEmmitt Smith: 5' 9" 210 poundsBarry Sanders: 5' 8" 200 pounds
Without even seeing that comparison, I'd say he looks bigger than what people give him credit for....sorta like you say.
In his last 16 games, he has completed 239 or 464 (51.5%) 2736 yards with 16 TDs and 19 INTs. In those games he has passed for more than 250 yards - 3 times, and one of those was 251 yards.
i would be shocked if the Browns won this game.i would also be suprised if the Bengals don't return an interception for a TD in this game.
Well, to be fair, I believe 3 of those games were the Blizzard, The Swamp, and The Wind Bowl.DA gives us a legitimate chance to win some games. I don't know what BQ's problem is, but he gives us next to no chance to win a game this year.
Special teams TD?
nope, passing.you know, blind squirrle, nut. DA wings one out to Braylon to give the fans a glimmer of hope before it all implodes.something like that.
DA had a QB rating of 68.8. I know it looks a lot better than a regressing Brady Quinn, but he still was not good by NFL standards.
Since there is a yardage component, I have no idea. You'd have to watch the game film and add up all the yardage lost from the dropped passes you'd want to count.
Now we'll probably be just good enough to not get a marquee QB in the draft.The play calling was MUCH better on both sides of the ball. I wonder if Quinn would have looked that bad had the coaching staff opened up the play book a bit more like they did with DA. Really goes to show they didn't believe in him even after naming him the starter.Amazing how good Cribbs performs when you utilize him properly, isn't it?I thought Harrison was AWFUL in the 1st half, but he played very well thereafter. He's not the long term answer, but as a stop gap while there are no other RB's on the roster? Sure, what the hell.Outside of Massaquoi the WR and TE play was lousy.I hate everything about Braylon Edwards. I'll have more reasons once defenses start to key in on Massaquoi and Braylon doesn't take advantage.Furrey needs to be a full time DB. Part because our secondary is not good, but mainly because he is an awful WR. Get Robiskie in the slot, now.Our short yardage running game is atrocious.Nice to see Brandon McDonald out of the starting lineup, even if it meant more Mike Adams. I think rotating two bad players is better than just playing one of them.Other things that haven't changed - the right side of the o line sucks, as do the Jets cast offs, the pass rush, and Kam Wimbley.Anything I missed?
hold on there, they still haven't won a game.Now we'll probably be just good enough to not get a marquee QB in the draft.
After Buffalo, I don't see much in the win column for a long time. Buffalo is 50/50 imo.Quinn got the shaft. I'm convinced of it now after watching the game and after listening to Mangini talk about DA after the game. If I didn't know it already, I woulda thought we won.Wonder how often Quinn was actually on the field with Massaquoi at the same time?Wonder how Quinn can perform with a running game?Wonder how Quinn would have performed against easily the worst team we've played so far? I'm not slamming the Bengals here, it's just the truth. The Bengals are a decent middle of the road team, just not Minn/Bal/Den. And I didn't believe one bit in Denver until yesterday, and I'm still skeptical.Now we'll probably be just good enough to not get a marquee QB in the draft.The play calling was MUCH better on both sides of the ball. I wonder if Quinn would have looked that bad had the coaching staff opened up the play book a bit more like they did with DA. Really goes to show they didn't believe in him even after naming him the starter.
Corey Williams showed up.Mangini blows that last time out in regulation. He's also funny when they put the camera on him. Like he's trying not to smile or get excited, but at times can't help himself. Looks pretty lame. Not sure how to describe it.
Mangini's "Oh, F--- YOU!!" in response to the one call. i think it was when they ruled no touchdown on Massaquoi's catch.camera was right on him. thought it was funny.
Lol, Mangini decimated the team. Its the same team as last year - Kellen Winslow + draft picks.
We have to be worse than the Rams to get that marquee QB, that will be difficult if we keep playing like we did on Sunday and the Rams keep playing like they did.Don't confuse this as me suggesting we throw games, I just don't see the point in turning to DA. Seems short sighted.hold on there, they still haven't won a game.
:( good riddance to that jagoff
While I don't agree with how Mangini handled the QB derby, ranking right up there with The Coin Flip, I've got to give him (and Kokinis) credit for their house cleaning efforts. If the locker room didn't know who was in charge by now, they should have good idea after today. I'm willing to give Mangini his chance for a few years.Rumors abound that Brady is out the door next. lol
Alot of Browns fans wanted Braylon gone earlier this year. I'm not sure what you're getting at in that regard. All Braylon has done is put the last nail in the coffin since the season started. He wasn't coming back anyways, I can't believe there would even be second guessing over this move.
Just a week ago Mangini looked like he may not make it through the season. I don't know where you stand on that Bobcat, but I don't think I talked to a fan that still publicly supported him. Fast forward a week, with the only changes being another loss and a trade of a former pro bowl WR, and I'm hearing and reading how fans will support him as he puts "his" team together. I'm not really critiquing the trade as much as I find it interesting how overall opinion has changed towards Mangini.
Yeah I see what you are saying. Fans thinking Mangini not making it all year were in dreamland, and there were more than a few of these people. Reality is far from that. Yeah there were a few national reports but those are bogus imo.Like I said, I hate how he handled the QB situation, but the trade of Braylon is good. Either way, it's his team for a few years and we're stuck with him good or bad.Reghi about to go off on Rizzo's Sabrina segment this morning. Should be good radio...mr blond said:
you are correct.but fans are passionate, and the fact that the Browns showed some life against the Bengals, as well as having a scapegoat (not that a lot of it wasn't deserved) does make for a change of heart with the coach.mr blond said:
I guess after the last 10+ seasons our expectations are low.I heard Chris Speilman after the OSU loss to USC on the radio discussing the "at least we weren't embarrassed" fan reaction to the game. He was pretty passionate about how we should expect to win and not be satisfied with a hard fought loss.
Unfortunately all I have is the radio and internet, but DA is 0-6 with 0 yards after a quarter and a half. WTH is going on?
Clearly missing Braylon.
If you look above, you can see the troll in it's natural habitat. Don't get to close or it will respond.Clearly missing Braylon.
He's looking better now. He actually doubled his number of completions in the third quarter. After 3 quarters he is 2/12 for 23 yards 0 TD 1 INT. Looking good!
