Below are some copy/pastes from misc. sources, along with their corrections:
can't wait to see Williams, Rodgers and Robaire Smith on our line, with Shaun Smith alternating. We should have a damn fine line. My biggest concern, however, is our lack of depth on D. The second and third team has given up 2 big TD plays. Sorensen, while a great ST player, sucks as our back up safety. We need to have all of our starters on D stay healthy this year. I wonder if Phil makes a call to bring Orpheus Roye back.
1: S Smith is a good NT and an average DE. Rogers is a human train-wreck at either position. R Smith is a good DE. Williams will probably be an excellent DE. Do not presume that Rogers will be the primary nose tackle at S Smith's expense.
2: While the second-team DE's were weak, Louis Leonard's performance was more up than down--he made some nice plays. I'm also fuzzy on Schaefering's rookie new position debut, but I suspect that if I could borrow your memory, I'd see an inexperienced player with talent. Do not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
3: Phil Savage no longer needs to sign old, injured players who can't play anymore, and is allergic to releasing talented young players that he knows will upgrade someone else's roster instead of his own. That was then. This is now.
Below, responses to a Livingston article in which he accurately described both DA and BQ's performance:
Yawn!
Okay, DA has been annointed with continuing greatness.
We'll see his wonder after one series with the Cowboys when it counts.
I wonder who this guy wants to start. Listen, you don't throw out his overall performance last season, along with his performance last night, simply because you like BQ better. You can surgicly isolate a couple bad games and ignore several in which he came from behind to win with his arm if you want, but thank God you're not commanding troops in combat or diagnosing a medical condition.
Wait til next week. He might throw an interception, and you can pound the gavel and declare the case closed.
"The offense looked sharp, and Quinn looked like he could play for a lot of teams, although maybe not very soon here with Anderson around."
Brady Quinn........START PACKIN DADDY.
Seriously though, after the pick, BQ settled down and executed to perfection the dink dunk section of Chud's playbook. Performances like tonights will surely drive up his trade value. As far as things that matter, we don't look to have a whole lot of depth in the defensive backfield. Good Lord, they made Clowney look like Jerry Rice. No injuries.
Opposite side of the same coin. Anderson may well not be as good as he looked in his one series with the top recievers. Quinn may still be the better quarterback. Anderson's trade value will be astronomicly higher than Quinn's, and if they feel that Quinn can do as well as Anderson, it will be Anderson who is traded.
Oh,first team offense looked great. And,I gotta say second and third team not to shabby! Quinn looked good tonight after he settled in. Proof is getting there. Fact is Browns have a good starting QB and good back-up in Quinn. Agreed if Quinn and Wilson played with first team along with Rucker the Browns look great right now if injuries happen.Now first team defense looked like improvments are showing well. The DB's settled in and looked good,line was what we excepted to stuff the run and free up LB's. Now second and third defense. Well, I liked Sorensen-he looks like he could replace Pool if game play doesn't improve. Other than that,Browns need more DB depth.Well, a good game to watch,can't wait for the Giants game!!Until than: Make Mine Brown and Orange!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with Pool. Quit mindlessly repeating things you read a year ago. Sorenson was suckered by play-action on one of the 70-yard TD passes; AJ Davis was supposed to have his support over the top, and he wasn't there. Sorenson is a good player overall, but please try to think with your brain.
Inexperienced DB's get burned. Davin Holly did. Wright did. This was the first pro game several of these guys ever played in, the backup front seven was generating no pressure on the QB, and other than those two plays, the reserve secondary played well.
And I repeat: On both of those plays, the safety was out-of-position.
OH! OH! Here's a smart one:
We are looking good fellas, real good. Some questions I had from the game...anyone and everyone feel free...
1. Does Rucker's ability make 2 of our 4 other TE's expendable via trade (not K2)?
Affirmative. Since they will keep four TE's, including Cieslak, Darnell Dinkens might get as high as a 5th rounder, or maybe an old cornerback if they need one, which they probably don't.
2. Who earned the rights to 3rd receiver if it was up to you? 4th?
Like I said in the last Blog and several earlier ones, Wilson tore it up thrughout his college carreer, proving his hands and ability. His issues were strictly mental, and extremely correctable.
3. #2 RB: Harrison or Wright?
As usual, look at the stats. Who had the highest YPC of all the backs...as usual? Moreover, the Browns got a first down on three Harrison runs, and he made at least four of one seven-yard gain breaking tackles. He can carry the load.
A: 1-yes, 2-Wilson(3rd) Sanders(4th), 3-Harrison
A+
Just remember none of these guys would look anygood without our outstanding Offensive Line.Joe Thomas and crew are the key to any success and allow Winslow to be a pass cathcing threat since he does not always have to be restrained to help doubleteaming pass rushers up front.
Not bad. Actually, the DEPTH of the line looked pretty good, including James Lee at left tackle. I couldn't wait to see how he'd do in a real game. And Hadnot does not have RG locked up--both McKinney and Friedman are challenging him. Hadnot is a mauler on the run, but isn't as good in pass-protection. Moreover, this line will generally use a zone scheme better suited to more athletic guys.
Understand that K2 is not a true TE and is not used as such. In Chud's offense, he's a reciever and downfield blocker, lining up in roughly a slot position, or even outside, more often than near the tackle.
This is a two-TE offense. One is a wing TE (K2) and one a true TE(fullback) (Heiden). The true TE/Fullback is a reliable short reciever, lead blocker, and in-line blocker.
