[Anthony Borbely]

Lions-Browns:

There has been a Brian Calhoun sighting. 3rd and 2 swing pass 2 yards and a first down, then no gain on a running play, he tried to break it outside and could not turn the corner.

 

[Mt. Man]

Just so people know:

No Roy (hamstring), Furrey (knee), Hanson (hamstring) for the Lions tonight.

Nothing serious, just precautionary.

 

[jurb26]

How are J. Lewis and B. Edwards looking?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

A couple of nice plays by Braylon, a nice out, kept feet in, then a tough catch over the middle in traffic, got nailed, held on.

Good to see him in there.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Browns had to call a time out on 3rd and 2...got the first...had a delay of game penalty...then had to call time out on the next play because of switching personnel.

 

[John Black]

Here we go again the Cleveland Clowns used two timeouts because they couldn't manage the clock.

Good to see the Brownies are in mid-season form.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Jamal looks pretty good.

One play later, they get their 2nd false start.

[Anthony Borbely]

Ernie Sims picks off Anderson inside the 5. Bad pass, and a nice play by Sims.

 

[jurb26]

Anderson getting the start? Where is Frye?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Bell for 21 yards, excellent trap block by Mulitalo, nobody near him until he was tackled. That blocking was not seen all last year by the Lion guards.

 

[Willowdoc]

Did Calvin start in place of Furrey or Williams (or not start)?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Wimbley looks great for the Browns, Got Bell in the backfield for a loss.

Troy Walters draws a pass interference. I think he will be the 5th WR.

Nice 8 yard run by Calhoun.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Anderson getting the start? Where is Frye?

Anderson was told he would get 3 series, then Frye would replace him. So 1 more series likely until we see Frye.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Did Calvin start in place of Furrey or Williams (or not start)?

Calvin and McDonald started. Calvin had a TD first drive but Kitna overthrew him, he had Eric Wright beat.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Calhoun on a swing pass on 3rd and 2, for 10 yards. He looks pretty good so far.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Lions line looks pretty good.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Anderson getting the start? Where is Frye?

Anderson was told he would get 3 series, then Frye would replace him. So 1 more series likely until we see Frye.

Frye coming in now.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Braylon really looks good.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Calhoun for 3 yards on a draw...he missed a cutback that could have gotten him 10+

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Lions are moving the ball with ease, and doing well on 3rd down.

Calhoun danced too much and lost a yard.

 

[detfan782004]

What I am enjoying with this game is that Detroit has committed to working on the run game which is something we need to address this preseason.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Kitna is really sharp so far. Calvin has 2 targets, neither catchable.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Damien Woody limping off the field slowly.

 

[detfan782004]

Damien Woody limping off the field slowly.

He lost a ton of weight this off season. I didnt think he would be back but he seems dedicated. We have depth at guard which is rare for us. Hopefully he comes back strong.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

DT Langston Moore blows up another play in the backfield. He was very impressive last week.

Woody has an ankle injury.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Braylon blocking for a QB bootleg, and nails the Lions LB.

 

[Mt. Man]

Beautiful last three plays by both Kitna and his receivers!

4 plays, 66 yards, :28 seconds!

Byrd (who was shaken up) makes the PAT, but Micah Knorr handles the kickoff.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Nice drive for the Lions with a minute left, 4 plays, 66 yards, TD pass from Kitna to McDonald.

Kitna is sharp, 12/16, 137 yards, 1 TD.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Lions pick off Frye, bad pass, Gerald Alexander picks it. The Lions are +3 in turnovers.

The next play, Calvin is double teamed, draws pass interference.

 

[John Black]

Is anyone else notice Bernie slurring his words? Has he been

Braylon blocking for a QB bootleg, and nails the Lions LB.

:Big10:

 

[Anthony Borbely]

O'Sullivan in to start the 2nd half.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Calhoun loses a yard on a draw...dancing again east and west instead of hitting the hole.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Is anyone else notice Bernie slurring his words? Has he been

He said he was listening to Baba O'Riley (The Who) on headphones. But yeah, he's usually not a clear speaker.

 

[Mt. Man]

Anderson back in at QB for Cleveland.

He looked pretty sharp, the drive stalling on 3rd & 3 (after 2 runs by Harrison) with Wilson dropping the ball.

Dawson's kick hooks wide left, and the Browns stay off the board.

 

[-OZ-]

TD pass from Kitna to McDonald.

Obviously he won't get this much PT with Roy back, but how is McDonald looking?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

TD pass from Kitna to McDonald.

Obviously he won't get this much PT with Roy back, but how is McDonald looking?

He looks solid. I really see the 4 WR sets being impossible to defend this year.

 

[Mt. Man]

J.T. to T.J.! (Edit: for 20 yards.)

(Detroit still driving, after a 4th & 1 fake to Duckett and scramble by Sullivan)

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Lion backup guard Frank Davis hurt...thats 2 guards down tonight. This is what happened to the line last year.

Duckett reached low and made a great catch on a screen pass...and bowled over a defender.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

G Frank Davis off on a cart, not good, especially if Woody's injury is bad.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Another nice screen to Duckett, and he broke a couple of tackles for 17 yards.

 

[Mt. Man]

Duckett looked impressive that drive, especially the TD.

Of course, this is against 2nd & 3rd stringers, but it made a nice change from last week's fumble in the end zone.

Ken Dorsey in at QB for Cleveland. Fans and announcers wondering if we won't get a look at Quinn to bring some life to the 4th quarter.

 

[Mt. Man]

Lions LB Anthony Cannon near the end of that drive. I'll give updates if I hear them.

Meanwhile, Dorsey looked impressive that drive. The Browns still had problems inside the redzone, with two more penalties and two breaks (that Sanders recovered his fumble and the PI call against Ramzee "Mr. Irrevelant" Robinson).

Orlovsky in at QB; quick 3 and out after a holding penalty against Detroit.

Quinn now in for Cleveland; the crowd erupts

 

[Tecumseh]

30 yd completion on his 1st pass? Was it all YAC, or in the air?

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

YAC, swing pass.

 

[Tecumseh]

TD. Nice start to a career.
