    BULLSHIT.

    This front office does not make its decisions based on the feelings of the fans. Period.

    Honestly, this sounds like something off BleacherReport, where any yahoo can spew an opinion based on a bunch of nothing.

    Holmgren took McCoy in the third because it was a low risk, very high reward gamble. He sees talent in the young man and, who knows? Maybe he'll develop and become a solid, every down NFL QB. It was a gamble well worth taking and had NOTHING to do with the fans.

    In the short term, the choice of McCoy reversed the perception of the direction of the Browns draft, and made Mike Holmgren a popular figure in the minds of the Cleveland Browns fans.

    There ya' go bud...wasn't me that said it, it was someone that gets paid to be stupid.
    That's a REPORTER's words, not those of Holmgren or anyone else in the organization. Pure speculation on the part of the WRITER, an nobody else. I love it when the guys who follow the team think they can get inside the heads of the front office personnel.

    Just report what they actually SAY, please. I don't need your psycho-babble to go along with it.
    I thought that's what I did? Ya' know, when I said "The article made it seem like..."? In fact, there's a thread on this site somewhere that says, when you post a link, to give your opinion. If you didn't want to read what I had to say, then don't and just read the link. Holy fuck man, simmer down.

    Cleveland Browns

    * Safety Abe Elam said via his website that he wants a multiyear contract and is "weighing his options." Elam is expected to skip the Browns' voluntary OTAs, which begin Monday.

    Talking to him is like talking to a brick wall. There's really no point in ever responding to him.. if you do, just respond once proving him wrong for everyone else to see, then drop it.

    Why? You looking forward to that qb battle between Delhomme and Wallace? Sounds interesting.

    Browns signed some other samoan D-lineman recently, Teveseu (sp?). He was an undrafted free agent. Dude used to be 420 pounds.

    2010's Early Schedule Intriguing, Winnable
    By The Sports Exchange

    Posted May 14, 2010

    NFL schedule-makers have given the Browns some storylines and potential wins early on in the 2010 season. Could the Browns get off to a quick start next season?

    The early part of the Browns' 2010 schedule is filled with intriguing storylines, starting with the first game of the season when they play the Buccaneers in Tampa.

    It will be the first time since the franchise was restored in 1999 the Browns will open on the road. Most teams would rather open at home, but Cleveland Browns Stadium has not been home sweet home for the Browns. Incredibly, the Browns are 1-10 in season openers.

    Being on the road isn't all that makes the opener interesting; the Browns will be facing Kellen Winslow Jr., whom they traded to the Bucs last year for a second-round choice in 2009 (Mohamed Massaquoi) and a fifth-round choice in 2010. That choice was part of the package, along with the 71st pick and another fifth-round choice, to move back into the second round so they could draft running back Montario Hardesty.

    Last season the Buccaneers were 3-13, and that's another difference from the recent past. In 2009 the Browns were blitzed at the start of the season. They opened against the Vikings (10-6 in 2008), played at Denver (8-8) and hosted Baltimore (11-5 in 2008). Before that string of games was finished Brady Quinn was on the bench, the Browns were 0-3 and the season was beyond repair.

    The second game is equally intriguing. Once again, the schedule maker gave the Browns what on paper should be a winnable game. The Browns host Kansas City in the home opener on Sept. 19. The Chiefs were 4-12 last year, one game off the Browns 5-11 finish.

    There are subplots to the Chiefs' game, too. Scott Pioli, the Chiefs general manager, and Browns coach Eric Mangini were together with the Patriots from 2000-2005. Their friendship was fractured in 2007 when Mangini turned the Patriots in for what infamously became known as "Spygate."

    Romeo Crennel, the Browns head coach from 2005-2008, is the Chiefs defensive coordinator. He took last year off after undergoing hip surgery.

    If the Chiefs are hoping to get some insight from Crennel's knowledge of the Browns they are out of luck; the turnover since he was fired has been dramatic, starting with the quarterbacks. None of the four quarterbacks on the roster now -- Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, Brett Ratliff and Colt McCoy -- was on it in 2008.

    The only significant players still on the offensive side of the ball from when Crennel was coaching are left tackle Joe Thomas, left guard Eric Steinbach, running back Jerome Harrison and wide receiver Josh Cribbs. Harrison and Cribbs were used more in 2009 under Eric Mangini than they ever were used under Crennel.

    The game against the Chiefs will also feature rookie safety Eric Berry. Berry was taken by Kansas City with the fifth pick in the draft, two picks before the Browns drafted cornerback Joe Haden.

    The third game of the season is at Baltimore. That means the Browns will be facing Donte Stallworth, the receiver who was suspended for 2009 for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk. Stallworth played for the Browns in 2008 and caught 17 passes. They cut him the day after he was reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

    I really like our schedule for the beginning of the season. It's a nice feeling to know that they could (and should) start the season 2-0 for a change. That could give our team momemtum and turn it into a respectable season.

    Had heard awhile back that they might trade for a WR but that talk has died down.
  • pkebker
    I read somewhere that the front office is happy with the recieving corp and it's potential. MoMass thinks he'll have a breakout year. Let's hope
