He sucked ass in preseason and probably hasn't had any snaps between then and this week, so I expect he will continue to suck ass.

BLACK_&_YELLOW · 10-13-2010, 11:03 PM

I just wanna stop by and wish the Browns the best of luck, especially McCoy. Hope he makes it out of this game in one piece.

Cleveland @ Buffalo
Cleveland @ Cincinnati
Baltimore @ Cleveland
Pittsburgh @ Cleveland

Where does Cleveland finish? Do they finish like last year and go 4-0 in their last 4 (9-7)? I think they split the last two and go 2-2, losing to one of those two horrible teams but beating either the Steelers or Baltimore at home. I think it also depends on the QB situation too...

(I just really wanted to get discussion back up in the Browns forum)

wonderbredd24 · 12-06-2010, 02:21 PM

The Buffalo game worries me for a few reasons

This game against Miami was physically very tough and that could carry over into what could be a miserably cold game against a team who does not quit.

If they can win that, they go to a pretty empty Bengals stadium. If they win that, I wonder if Colt McCoy is suddenly able to go for the last 2 games with a 7-7 record, but Jake Delhomme has the power to lose the Browns any of these games, so who the **** really knows?

I'm thinking 2-2 as well. I'm not sure how it will play out tho. I could easily see us dropping to one of the bad teams and then surprising either Pitt or Balt. 7-9 is a successful season in my eyes.

Has anyone heard what McCoy's progress is like with that ankle sprain? When is he projected to come back?

Holmgren says he's not going to put him in unless he's 100% so possibly not at all this season. But there's nothing concrete in when he'll be able to come back from what I've seen.

Interesting. That's the right call, although I'd like to see him get more time in the offense and see him throw in the poor weather over the next 4 games.

Hey guys I am having a hard time mocking your slot @ 13. Potential prospects Off the board are : Julio Jones, Nick Fairley, Robert Quinn, Marcell Dareus, and AJ Green.

I know WR/DE is no. 1 concern, but it might be a reach for Blackmon or Baldwin at WR, and Heyward, Jordan, Bailey or Watt at DE.

What do you guys think?

MattyFos · 12-09-2010, 09:06 AM

Linebacker is needed as well as WR and DE.

wonderbredd24 · 12-09-2010, 10:33 AM

Anything that is not a nose tackle in the front 7 is a big need.

MattyFos · 12-10-2010, 09:36 PM

I haven't been on DC for a couple of months.. Please tell me that the people in here don't have a boner for Colt McCoy like all of the other browns sites I frequent. He's playing well, and I shouldn't expect much from a Rookie QB. but when he's under Center we are playing 9 on 11 because our wide outs aren't getting looks.

I am excited about Colt McCoy, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. He needs to use his receivers. The only time he really seems to consistently do it is during the hurry up offense towards the end of the game. Beyond that, he's going to the tight ends and backs.

But his poise and his ability to make plays are definitely things to build upon.

Yeah, you're probably right. We need a freak receiver.

MattyFos · 12-11-2010, 10:48 AM

The receivers are stacked in the draft this year, right? I'm thinking we could get a solid receiver in the second round. I think we need to draft front seven in the first round.

I've been in the A.J. Green or defense in the 1st round camp for awhile, but if the Browns keep winning, they may end up with Julio Jones.

But the front seven needs a **** ton of help.

MattyFos · 12-14-2010, 08:24 AM

I would like to add a ball hawking Safety. But, Abe Elam has been playing better this year than last season. So it's not a dire need.

I would like another CB, maybe in the 3-5 range.

Linebacker and Dline should be 1 and 2 on our board.

If we're sitting in the 10-15 range on draft day, move back a few spots and grab another second rounder. Then we could take Dline help, then with the two second round picks draft a WR (deep class) and a LB

We need a RT

I would like to get another RB. Hardesty will be back next year, but Mike Bell hasn't shown me anything. I'd like to get a speedster as the third Rb option. Maybe a return specialist because it seems like Cribbs is done with in the return game. (Think Laron Stephens- Howling/ Leon Washington) Get about 12 touches a game with returns, screens, and draws.

That is ALL I want for Christmas.

All I want for Christmas is one RT (middle rounds), a #1 WR (hopefully in the 2nd round), 6 of the defensive front 7 and a partridge in a pear tree.

Too bad Christmas is going to come 5 months late...

Good News Everyone: Colt McCoy is optimistic about being ready for the Bengals game and it sounds like he'll get the nod if he is ready.

MattyFos · 12-14-2010, 06:37 PM

Lol, 6 of the front 7... Awesome. I agree

What if the Browns drafted another corner early in the draft. We need help across the board in 6 of our front 7. We'd need 5 of the front 7 is they would play Rogers at DE. But if we can get another stud corner like Peterson or Amukamara we could play man on the outside. Allowing TJ Ward to run free and freeing our LB up for more blitzes to hurry the QB. We won't get the pressure on the QB from a 34 defense without bringing Linebackers. But with another top of the line corner our "help D" (Linebackers and safeties) wouldn't be needed as much in coverage. Just an idea I'm throwing out there.

Personally, I think giving up on Eric Wright would be a mistake. He has not had a good season, but he's talented, young, and probably won't cost too much. I have little doubt that if the front seven is better, Haden and Wright will both benefit. That has to be the way to go

Better run defense leads to more obvious passing situations makes coverage easier and in turn makes the improved front seven have more of a downhill effort on pressuring the quarterback
