Cleveland Browns 2011 Super Awesome In-Season Thread

  Yea I think another WR, OL then hit the defense for more depth (LB,CB,DL,S). I think we need a couple LBs in the draft behind Fajita and Gocong unless we try and go after some FAs on the defense.

  I actually like the look of that a lot. Give Norwood a shot as a #4 guy and cut ties with Massaquoi.

  Agree on massaquoi/Norwood for sure...Norwood has shown something this year, massaquoi has not (other than showing he is not good at football)

  What happens with the RB position going into next season? Do you really think they're going to try to get a contract with Hillis for a few years and think he will take it or not? After him you have Hardesty, Oby and Brandon Jackson? for next season. There will be guys like Michael Bush who will be a FA next off-season...make a run at him?

  I think they should still take a shot on Hillis depending on how he closes this season out. Whatever they do, I just hope they don't waste their first round pick on one.

  As good as it sounds to take Richardson with 1a then maybe Floyd with 1b, I can't see us doing that. My ideal draft I think would be Blackmon/Floyd (depending on where we draft) with 1a, then DeCastro or a RT with 1b. In the 2nd round I hope for Vontaze Burfict to still be around because I think he will turn out to be great in the NFL.

  I obviously agree with this. Especially if we get Vontaze in the 2nd rd. I would be very happy with him in the 2nd.

  Right now my ideal draft would probably be:
  
  1st round: OT and WR
  I don't think we pick high enough to get Blackmon, but that's obviously the ideal scenario. I wouldn't mind Reiff/Floyd either.
  
  2nd round: Chris Polk (RB Washington)
  
  3rd round: Cliff Harris (CB/KR Oregon) - Character concerns but a 1st round talent. Gotta take a risk sometime.

  Cribbs has done McCoy no favors. He runs shitty routes and often times isn't where Colt is looking for him.
  
  For those saying 'Blackmon, Little, Cribbs', you're friggin' crazy. More like "Blackmon, Little, Norwood." Norwood is a MUCH more polished receiver than Cribbs. Cribbs needs to only see the field as a "receiver" on reverses & bubble screens. Other than that, he's worthless...keep him on special teams.

  Watching laundry jones right now and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed. He just threw a ball from the left hash to the right sideline for 10 yards on a rope

  It's probably the christmas ales talking, but "Laundry" Jones made me lol

  Cribbs runs terrible routes. He doesn't round off as much as he used to, but still can't run a professional route tree.
• Sonofanump

  Where is Burfict projected to go? Everyone seems high on him, but no one wants him until the second round. Something does not add up here.
• SportsAndLady

  

  "Blackmon little cribbs norwood" = friggin crazy
  "Blackmon little norwood" = good
  
  Got it.
• Sonofanump

  I think Mo Mass would be a better #3 than Cribbs. Cribbs would be a decent guy to put as a wing, maybe a threat to Utah pass to.

  Late 1st or 2nd from what I've seen. He takes bad angles. But I'm fairly confident my sternum would fracture if he tackled me.

  Got it.

  Cribbs shouldn't see the field in a legit WR's role. He belongs on specials only. The fact that he is on the field shows the lack of talent at WR. I doubt he (Cribbs) sees much, to any, action as a WR with any other team in the league. He doesn't really have a position besides returns. If he were to be pigeonholed into a position title it would likely be "athlete."
  
  If they were to go Blackmon with one of their 1sts, I'd still want them to come back and take a flier on the Broyles kid from Oklahoma later in the draft. Hearing that he can be had with a 3rd or 4th rounder. I'd be cool with Blackmon, Little, Broyles & Norwood. Would be even better if one of those 4 were an already established WR like a Colston or someone else.

  Which is what they need. Not enough game changing athletes on this team that a coach says "we have to game plan specifically for this guy." As much as I hate him, this team could use a few players with that Ray Lewis type impact/intensity...i.e. "killer" instinct.

  I don't remember if this has been talked about, but I'd sign Price from NE, and cut Carlton Mitchell whom apparently has to suck completely to never even get a chance on this shitty team.

  I saw he was released but the head scratcher is that the Pats kept two WR's that sucked worse than Price?

  the thing i love about this guys is i was reading a article that said he will take a personal foul to get his point across. thats something cleveland needs, we need some attitude on this team.
