i'm glad all these youth football disaster stories are coming out for this browns game

Sad thing is that Cleveland actually has the basis for a decent defense.
I'm wondering if some of these clubs are just trying too freaking hard on offense. Just set them up in an I and run a classic offense. If you don't have Brady or Manning, you don't have to try and set it up like you do.

can they really be called screens if no one blocks?
― omaha deserved 311 (call all destroyer), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 03:44 (fourteen years ago) link
to put that 2.9 number in perspective:
last year the lions lost to the saints 42-7 to go 0-15. they started dan orlovsky, who finished the game with a QB rating 24.7. and yet they still managed to average 4.6 yds per play.

bubble screens and quick screens were a good innovation for the nfl but the PENDULUM HAS SWUNG TOO FAR

you can't really run bubble/quick screens when your WRs are not quick and have zero potential to make a guy miss - you might as well just kneel the ball at that point

what is this offense even called when you call a weird motion or fake end-around on every run? do they do this in the college game?
― omaha deserved 311 (call all destroyer), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 03:51 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe at Air Force.
― earlnash, Tuesday, 17 November 2009 03:52 (fourteen years ago) link
the fake end around is to try and stop backside pursuit

i know what it's for but i have never seen an nfl team run this style of offense

the 07 QBs are so dreadful
JaMarcus Russell QB LSU 1 1(1) Oakland Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame 1 22(22) Cleveland Kevin Kolb QB Houston 2 4(36) Philadelphia John Beck QB Brigham Young 2 8(40) Miami Drew Stanton QB Michigan State 2 11(43) Detroit Trent Edwards QB Stanford 3 28(92) Buffalo Isaiah Stanback QB Washington 4 4(103) Dallas Jeff Rowe QB Nevada 5 14(151) Cincinnati Troy Smith QB Ohio State 5 37(174) Baltimore Jordan Palmer QB UTEP 6 31(205) Washington Tyler Thigpen QB Coastal Carolina 7 7(217) Minnesota
Kolb is good, but never plays!
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 17 November 2009 04:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Stanback's a WR now, so there's that.
kolb excepted, and i guess trent edwards....
the dolphins drafted john beck, cut him the following year, and then this year traded a 5th (?) rd pick for thigpen

Can we call this game 10 mins early on account of boredom?
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 17 November 2009 04:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I think there was a Rex Grossman performance against GB once (last game of 2006, I think) where he threw like 4 INTs and had a rating of 0.0, but he got pulled at halftime. I remember that game because it brought me so much joy.

He was sent home early Tuesday morning after being evaluated for several hours by doctors. His agent, however, is livid at the Browns for putting him in position to be injured on a meaningless play."I can't even put into words how upset I am at them for leaving him in like that,'' J.R. Rickert told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in a text. "Fortunately, he's doing well.''

I was willing to give Mangini time here but last night was pretty much it for me.
― brownie, Tuesday, 17 November 2009 18:50 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i just feel bad for everyone on that team, i can't even rail against the shitty play of the QBs because i feel like a lot of what's wrong with the offense comes right back to mangini.
― jØrdån (omar little), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 18:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Since Mangini hired a nobody like Daboll to run the offense it does come back to him. It's hard to figure out what exactly the game plan was last night. It looked like it was built around throwing outside screens all night puncuated by the wildcat.
