Comments on: Browns Lack of Idenity Makes Them More Black and Blue http://sportales.com/football/browns-lack-of-idenity-makes-them-more-black-and-blue/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:21:49 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: DJK http://sportales.com/football/browns-lack-of-idenity-makes-them-more-black-and-blue/comment-page-1/#comment-21779 DJK Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:12:08 +0000 http://sportales.com/football/browns-lack-of-idenity-makes-them-more-black-and-blue/#comment-21779 A couple quick points: 1. I never thought I'd say this but I miss Kevin Scheaffer. 2. I wouldn't let Hank Poteat see the field in a Pop Warner league game. 3. Has anyone else noticed that Jamal Lewis's "short, choppy steps" never get him anywhere? 4. Please stop playing Josh Cribbs every down. There is a reason he has been in the league for this long and has been no more than a special teams player. I dont think he understands that there are first down markers on the sidelines and when he runs routes it would be a good idea to go past them. 5. The Browns used not 1 but 2 second rounds picks this year on wide receivers --- PLAY THEM!!! I agree that we need an identity and kudos to Mangini for trying to bring us one. He seems to have a plan and here's hoping that he is around long enough to see it through. A couple quick points:

OR 3rd and 15 and you're tossing a screen pass? Come on guys, what kind of play selection is this- are you playing for punting position? You're not fooling anyone. Sometimes I think these guys are bring coached by the old LC coaches. 2) The QB controversy: You gotta let Quinn play. He is the future and the only way he is really gonna learn is by being put to the fire- learn to read the Defense, call his own plays, gain the trust of those on the field. And get a Vet QB to personal train him on the side. Now you can’t burn him, ie Tim Couch, or else he won’t learn anything and thus, you’ll have another Couch. A side note to my brother: Even if we drafted McNabb he would have ended up the same way as Couch did. I know it can’t be proven but if you were given a wall of legos to put between you and a bunch of bulls, while the rest of the league had brickwalls- I’m not sure you would last long in the NFL. Ship Anderson out- he was lightening in a bottle, but guess what, his bottle is broken. 3) Note to self (Cleveland Browns): Stop getting washed up, out of their prime players/bodies (Thanks old fart). They are only there for a paycheck, they are living off their old successes and I doubt they are help those around them. For as many washed up guys that we’ve had in the last 10 years, if they are/were then I think we’d be a lot better than we are today 4) Identity, you don't realize is that we have one, and everyone knows it. Cleveland Sports teams are known for one thing: Losing. They are GREAT at that; everyone just needs to recognize it. Remember: There is no “I” or “Me” in “Cleveland Browns” but there is “Loser”. Is it 2012 yet? Thanks for reading this, A bitter Fan. A few things on my mind that have been aching to get out:
