2012 Browns thread

discus

cons: beautiful sublime defensive lineman Phil Taylor out for the year
pros: Frostee Rucker, Super Bowl victory

cons: Browns are in the AFC North, cannot stop the run
pros: half the staff consists of disgraced ex-head coaches that are striving to redeem themselves

pros: phenomenal uniforms

cons: the weight of history

otm

cons: unproven receivers
pros: kosar fathead back in stock

kosar = poor man's sipe

cons: right side of the O-Line is sketchy
pros: middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson turns 25 yard runs into 15 yard gains via his excellent pursuit skills

lmao your display name... im lovin it!!!

hahaha i just glanced and thought those posts were cankles'

0-:

this is pretty brutal -- ozzie is basically the only hof player to make a significant contribution to the brownies in my lifetime

yeah, ozzie was a shoe-in but tellingly no defensive player for the Browns ever made it into the hall (well no long term player). last time the browns had a HOF defensive player was 1959.

i dunno if this is normal throughout the league

clay matthews was pretty damn good

i feel like there was another lb alongside him who was also good, but can't recall/care enough to search

chip banks are u thinking of?

but yeah, Matthews was a HOF semi-finalist last year, along with Donnie Shell and Steve Atwater so he's in good company and probably should make it. he had 12 sacks in '84! and lol the team went 5-11 that year but was in every game except for two blowouts.

and that's the deal with recent Browns D history, when tight games need a playmaker to turn a loss into a victory they don't show up. this was a sad case and set their defense back years:

lulz all around tho

welp, LB Chris Gocong is out for the year

He wasn't anything special but the run defense I fear is going to suck again with Philthy Phil Taylor gone for most of the season and the Browns having to rely on a 4th round rookie from Nevada (linebacker U) to take CG's place.

So the Browns have a new a owner and unbelievably some local sports talkers have called for new uniforms. If this happens I will be angrier than Big Dawg at an a la carte restaurant.

Whatever the Browns’ medical staff saw on Richardson’s MRI, they’re worried enough that they’re sending him to see the renowned sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who performed arthroscopic surgery on the same knee in February.

^^^ OTM x1000

hay brownie, did u watch that Browns ep of A Football Life on ESPN?

it was kinda 'Browns: The Bill Belichick Story' but still it made me v teary in a few places, esp the players saying goodbye to the fans at the end of the final game.

ew

?

and i say that because there are any number of things to celebrate about the brownies that don't involve bill belichick, for sipe's sake

oh yeah troo

no, i didn't see it. i think Kosar was the subject on 30/30 tho? y/n?

yeah he's one of 3 subjects - I haven't watched the 30/30 yet

hes 1 of like a dozen dudes in it

lol wow - the synopsis makes it sound like there's only kosar, rison and [name forgotten]

you guys are talking about two different shows. Football Life about the Browns is NFL network. The 30 for 30 about former athletes who went broke (featureing Kosar) was on ESPN.

...

I love you for thinking you needed to point that out, Bill.

Amazingly terrible game, week 5. Usually I go to a safe house to watch the Browns. But I end up at a bar about a half mile from my apartment and it's 75% Pittsburgh fans.

Pros: The Browns finally ran some sweeps. Here's an NFL team that hasn't run outside the tackles all year except for the quick pitch against the Ravens.

Christ: No way to stop the run

When the Browns were up 14-0 (!!!) I said to myself and the guy next to me DON'T GIVE UP LONG DRIVES. What followed was a constant parade of off tackle runs and 7 yard curls and outs.

True story: I have never been to a bar in Cleveland on Sunday where the Browns fans outnumber the Steelers fans.

lol @ "Christ:"

at least t-rich looks awesome, and you're primed for a hot #1 pick in 2013!

man, TR is GOOD. i fear that Weeden is this guy:

Browns president Mike Holmgren will retire at the end of this season and former Eagles president Joe Banner is being named the Browns new CEO effective immediately, according to league sources. New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is expected to make the announcement today

with the team on it's way to 11-5 i'm not sure this is the right move

Pat Shurmur on why he ran a play instead of letting the clock run down to the two minute warning, and regrouping, at the end of the first half:

"When you get down there, you never know how long it's going to take you to score. It may take 5 or 6 plays, so we wanted to get another play in there."

lol at "it may take 5 or 6 plays", it was first and goal! They ended running up the middle for almost no gain. Also, they had timeouts left.

He's a horrible head coach.

Currently gauging the Browns wildcard chances. I can see this happening.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Cleveland Browns are expected to clean house Monday, letting go of both coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Saturday, citing league sources.

Shurmur was awful, and I'm glad to see him go, but I really liked Heckert. Even if he did draft Brandon Weeden over Russell Wilson.

this is a cam newton hire right? but i guess he has to make something out of weeden rather than draft a new cam?

I have absolutely no idea what this hire is about. Rumor Mill: Norv Turner as OC.

Rumor Mill: Norv Turner on The OC

Rumor Mill: Norv Turner OD'd

I like Chudz. He's a good coach imo

Frankly if he hires the right staff, and I'm fine with Norv at OC, I'll be happy. Now there's talk of going to the 3-4 defense one year after the Browns stockpiled defensive linemen and had one linebacker.

Shurmur was so out of his league at head coach it boggles even Romeo Crennel.

#freejoethomas

Browns aren't a franchise I can bring myself to laugh at, mostly because the fans deserve better. Having the o.g. Browns shipped off to the north and watching them win two Super Bowls, while watching the nu-Browns struggle to field competitive teams year in and out has to be frustrating.

I got mad respect for fans like brownie who wind up sticking it out. really hoping to see them return to prominence soon.

You definitely have a chance against the Vikings. Their defense has been terrible, Ponder has been mistake-prone and Peterson has been going nowhere on first downs.

Browns defense looks very solid. Hoyer may do just find against the Vikings, who have a habit of making backup QBs look like allstars.

Still hoping the Browns are demoralized enough to let the Vikings have a much needed win.

yeah the Browns defense did a number against my Fins until the game broke open. if it hadn't been for the LOLceivers, might have even won that game.

So like I was saying...

Hoyer 8/11 for 124 with 2 TDs

So like I was saying...

...sigh.

time to hire from the Butch Davis coaching tree

as someone pointed out on twitter, browns will be paying 3 head coaches next season. at least they are willing to throw some money at the problem. i thought pettine seemed okay but i guess he lost the players completely, if you can believe what you read.

that's how many head coaches the steelers have had in my lifetime

the browns are apparently interviewing doug marrone which would be the most hilarious hire ever after firing mike pettine

i think the browns are rotten from the top down and it might not matter who they hire as coach but i think they really just need to roll the dice on a high ceiling target. no more pat shurmur/rob chudzinski/mike pettine types

there's only one coach out there who's won the pinstripe bowl twice

this was chud!

marty schottenheimer is only 72

the browns have apparently given their general counsel control of the football operation

Sashi Brown will go from general counsel to executive vice president of football operations. The general manager will report to Brown, the coach to Haslam. The idea is for all to work together and collaborate on decisions, but Brown will have final authority over the 53-man roster and the draft, while the coach will decide how players are used on Sundays. That structure is similar to the one in which Farmer and Pettine worked.

the only thing more amazing than the idea of this management structure is the fact that they've already tried it.

man haslam is so incompetent

him and stephen ross both setting a very very high bar for modern ownership terrorism in the nfl

always thought football GM was a career that would be denied to me but now i'm gonna move to cleveland and get an administrative position with the browns and who knows?

The idea is for all to work together and reach decisions like drafting Justin Gilbert over Odell Beckham Jr, Derek Carr, and Aaron Donald

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14678168/police-called-investigate-incident-involving-cleveland-browns-quarterback-johnny-manziel

Manziel is just going down in flames. He's not exactly to Marinovich or Leaf's depth, but Johnny Football seems to be on his way to that place.

I'm experiencing schadenfreude about this

Maybe he has affluenza like that other asshole kid from Texas.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14697600/cleveland-browns-moving-johnny-manziel-latest-incident-source-says

Johnny Manziel's time with the Cleveland Browns will come to an end in March, according to a league source.

The Browns released a statement from new director of football operations Sashi Brown on Tuesday that expressed disappointment in Manziel but stopped short of saying the quarterback's run in Cleveland is over.

"We've been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny's continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization," Brown said. "His status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We will have no further comment at this time."

The reference to league rules points to the fact that the Browns do not have the salary cap space to release Manziel on Feb. 8, the day after the Super Bowl and the first day they can do so. The move will take place when the new NFL year starts March 9, according to the source. Releasing Manziel in February would count $4.6 million against the cap, and due to the cap's machinations, the Browns do not have that space -- and will not have it in February. The cap will increase in March, which will allow them to release Manziel then.

Johnny Afluenza does have a bit of a ring to it.

He comes from oil money.

dollars to donuts he's wearing a cowboys jersey next season smdh

http://deadspin.com/johnny-manziels-ex-girlfriend-told-cops-he-hit-her-seve-1757206811

sounds like manziel is really accelerating his descent, it's pretty grim to see

When your agent drops you, it pretty much means they think you are most likely a bust that won't make them anymore money.

The trade of Gilbert, who likely would have not made the team during final roster cuts, means the Browns have parted ways with both of their first-round picks from the 2014 draft, and they have none of their first-round picks on the roster from 2012 through 2014.

Gone are QB Brandon Weeden (2012), RB Trent Richardson ('12), LB Barkevious Mingo ('13), QB Johnny Manziel ('14) and now Gilbert.

What a moment for Cleveland.

I'm cool with 0-16. They shouldn't even try to win until San Fran wins another one. Flopson for Watson? Garbage for Garrett?

it's always darkest before Deshaun

0-16 definitely better than 1-15

that said i wouldve felt better about 0-16 had the indians won the WS

lol. oh dear.

can the browns get their 1 at home vs san diego? it's not impossible but...

And lose the Myles Garrett sweepstakes? No thank you!

sure that'll fix everything

Ben Roethlisberger now has more wins in Cleveland (11) than any Browns' QB has since the team returned to the NFL in 1999.

I still can’t believe Hue Jackson still has a job but Sashi Brown got fired.

.@joethomas73 is calling it a career.

See you in Canton, Joe.

Did Tyrod Taylor just break his wrist on a 4th an goal scramble in preseason

Tyrip Taylor

Good Lord that 538 article has a lot of hyperlinks.

lmao i had no idea this thread existed, fun fact m1ke p3ttine3 is my uncle

Are you kidding?? That’s awesome!!

ya idk i mean i guess it's p cool but i care SO little abt football that it doesn't faze me much
from what i understand he took them from really shitty to kinda-eh but then they got shitty again and they sacked him?
how do football coaches work?? was he an ok one or did he deserve to be fired? what's the point of quickly firing someone w/o giving them a chance to build up the team? this confuses me so much

he had a rough deal, is a good defensive coach. he'll do well in GB

Going 0-16 will do that to you.

So is the losing streak done or does it have an asterix now?
