More Media Corrections and the Cleveland Browns

Kizer Kolaid drinker Mary Kay Cabbot is starting to embarrass herself with her Deshone-colored glasses.

Hue Jackson said that all the quarerbacks would get some first team reps, and that it doesn't mean anything at this point.

One writer's unofficial QB stats had Kessler completing 5 of 6, Kizer 4 of 7.  The longest play was Kessler to Britt.  The ball only went 35-40 yards in the air though, so...

The coaches are paying extra attention to Kizer, because Kizer is making more mistakes.  They didn't pay as much attention to Kessler last season because he started four seasons in college, and didn't make mistakes.

Kizer has the size, arm, athleticism and intelligence.  Kessler is more accurate, and a veteran.  He started out way ahead of Kizer developmentally, and now he has pro experience in this system under his belt.

And one more time:  They're in shells!  Nobody is pressuring these guys yet!  Of COURSE Kizer looks good!  But here's a tip:  Hue Jackson will take 5 for 6 over 4 for 7 all day long.  

Unneccessary disclaimer: Kizer's upside is stratospheric, and I'm optimistic about his f u t u r e, but that's not YET, or certain.  Anyway, Mary Kay, he already has an agent, ok?

I'm not too worried about Britt burning Haden deep.  Haden was probably one-on-one with him, and well...look which quarterback threw it.  You can't prevent a perfect pass from being caught.

Bill Barnwell (ESPN) just had to join the party.  He rates the Browns offensive skill players 30th (behind the Ravens).

Crowell, Duke Johnson, and DeValve aren't even mentioned.  This isn't worth further thought.

The prospect of Duke Johnson being the slot receiver (very likely) brought me back to the two-back.

The Browns can run both 22 and 12 sets (both with two tight ends).

The 22 would feature only one true wide receiver, but where the two tight ends are DeValve and Njoku, it's really kind of a 3-wide.  Duke lining up in the slot or wide could make it a 4-wide.

Regular readers have heard this before.  It's wildly unpredictable.  Remember Hue Jackson (inexplicably) shifting tackles out wide, then back inside and stuff?

Imagine what he'll do with this crew!  With a healthy Coleman, a pumped up DeValve, and a shiny new Njoku!  Coleman can play running back, you know.  He's kind of a reverse Duke.

Sounds like Hue can't wait to put Peppers in there somewhere, too.

What do you call that?  The UFO offense?  What if Gordon comes back?

Man, this is going to be a fun season!

One guy said they might need to release Osweiler if he doesn't start, because the other players would resent his massively inflated salary.

Ok look, these guys can spell their own names right and everything.  The majority have bachelor's degrees.  What they'd resent would be releasing a viable player for no rational reason.

Players might think it's obcene that the Texans overpaid the guy, but understand the business side of football better than we do.  Would they blame Osweiler for not turning down the money?  That article was insulting.
