HuskyCaucasian Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 06:33 PM) well one thing i can say with confidence....denvers offense is much better suited for orton's strengths than ours is...and i also believe ours is better suited for cutlers strengths than theirs is ....kyle looks really good...lots of short, high percentage passes....not to mention good receivers and a great Oline helps I was thinking that last night. THe Bears offense was designed... and Turners tendencies... are for players like Rex Grossman and now Cutler. It's designed for a down the field gun slinger.

HuskyCaucasian Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Anybody interested in owning your own domed building? The Silverdome in Pontiac, MI is up for auction. The AstroDome is still having issues post-NFL football as well. They were going to convert it into a hotel, but those plans fell through and now some are looking at it s a movie production venue. I vote indoor theme park for either of those.

I agree, they took a huge target(Winslow) and traded him before the season, Edwards became a selfish ball dropping baby before he got traded, Jamal Lewis hasnt been able to be consistently healthy. its been a mess in Cleveland for sure. Quinn looked good in his spots last year, and Anderson is surely proving to be Grossman version 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 THe problem is that Cleveland signed both QBs to big money... and they are torn as to who to use. normally when you have a big contract player, you play him regardless because you need to validate the money. But, since they have TWO big contract guys at the same position, they flip and flop back and forth as to who they want to play. It's a real mess.

GoSox05 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The awfulness that is the Browns goes on. Mangini is just awful. Per the Cleveland Plain Dealer - The NFL has begun an investigation into Browns RB James Davis' season-ending shoulder injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Davis aggravated an old shoulder injury and tore his labrum in a post-practice drill two weeks ago. Davis, in street clothes, was reportedly "trucked" by a fully-padded linebacker. "I'm not going to talk about that today," Eric Mangini said late Sunday.

Pick your poison- Rams, Bills, or Browns? I, for one, see Tennessee beginning to win some games, so I don't think they'll have a top 10 pick. I think they'll lose to NE next week, but then they play some beatable teams. I see them finishing with 5-7 wins. Even if they win 4-5 games, that won't be good enough to take Bradford or Clausen. I don't think the Bills will take a QB. I know Edwards might not be the long term solution, but their current OL can't protect him to save their collective lives. They traded Peters and they don't even take an OT to take his spot. Also, TO will be gone, and it might not be a bad idea to take somebody like Dez Bryant with their first pick, and trade Parrish for a 4th or 5th, and go OT in the 2nd round. The Rams just flat out need to put people in seats there. Edited October 12, 2009 by whitesoxbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
