[quote=SmootSmack;1026708]Woah! The Colts just traded their 1st round pick next year for Trent Richardson[/quote]

I like this move for both teams. Trent Richardson should be good for the Colts and the Browns get more ammo for the draft in case they want a new qb next year. Sure it's a risky move by the Colts but if they think TR is worth it then go for it.

They should get Manziel or Bridgewater. They'll put tickets in the seats.

Throwbacks were a nice gimmick, but c'mon now, they got ridiculous, and most of the uniforms were downright ugly. Skins had some good uniforms and helmets, but the bright yellow helmet with the red R on it could burn your eyeballs out!! I think the banning of throwbacks is dumb in itself, but I think Goodell is now focusing on the younger crowd and the throwbacks didn't garner that much in additional revenue maybe. If it isn't any of those things, then Goodell truly has some issues with being power hungry.

Those are my favorite throwbacks.

They look fine to me too dude, but damn those helmets could really mess you up on a really sunny Sunday afternoon!!!

Looks like we might not see Reggie bush on Sunday. He hasn't practiced all week

The Browns may not need extra picks to pick at the top.

Yean the Tuesday after the game The Detroit News all but ruled him out, but they said it wasn't 100% that he would miss.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Detroit's running game is the least of our worries though. J Bell isn't the best runner, but he is a bruiser that compliments Reggie. Bell can be a decent pass catcher though. Our worry should be Megatron and Burleson.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Would you take Johnny football over bridgewater? No freakin way. I like Boyd better than manziel and maybe Murray at Georgia.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Browns obviously tanking this year for a top pick and assured QB. My bet is T. Bridgewater but with Lombardi at GM, I could see them going more of a traditional route with a Murray.

Manziel would be a top 10 stretch in my opinion. They will load their team up with rooks next year, question is, will any of them be any good?

I'd love to see if we could get Haden, Mack or Gordon from them for some late pick since they're feeling generous but it'll never happen.

Manziel is better than Murray and Boyd.

From what I've seen, Bridgewater really looks like a can't miss. I would take him over both Boyd and Manziel.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

How about Michael Vick so far? He's playing as well as anyone right now. He's been pinpoint with his passes and isn't turning the ball over. So far, Kelly's offense has put up 30+ in both weeks. Should be a good game tonight.

I hope Andy Reid buries the Eagles tonight. It would be sweet revenge

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Outside of all the $$ it cost them good deal for the Browns in getting a 1st rd pick, I don't think Richardson is all that and backs are a dime a dozen these days anyway. It's not like they were playoff bound.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

I think Cleveland will be better off, dudes always hurt and honestly he's not that great. I'd take Alf over him any day, ntm now cleveland will be able to get a QB and a WR next year most likely

They're OK on WRs with Josh Gordon, Greg Little and Davone Bess.

Now they REALLY need to draft a QB and RB with these two first-round picks unless they get a good FA RB, not a broken down, unemployed vet like McGahee.

Great move for the Colts because at RB they're down to Ahmad Bradshaw, one of the most fragile backs in the game and Donald Brown, who also has had an injury history. That was it.

Richardson is far better than a player off the street like McGahee. Bradshaw is a great back but can't be a full-time starter and survive a season, so pairing these two together might help both of them play the remaining 14 games.

Colts are a step closer to the Super Bowl. I still think it will be Houston or Denver, but the Colts made a move that they needed to make. If Bradshaw went down, they'd have no running game and Luck would have to carry the team by himself in just his 2nd year.

Still...has to be painful to be a Browns fan. If they weren't gun-shy last year, they'd have RGIII. They had more picks to trade than us. The guy they picked over Griffin, they just gave up on after a year and he was probably their best player on offense (when healthy). It really looks like they are tanking this season to build in the future. The Hoyer over Campbell decision is really questionable too, Jason is clearly a better choice IF THEY WANT TO WIN. Hoyer is the hometown boy...I guess they're just trying to get his relatives and friends in the seats since no one else will want to come after this trade.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Its a total QB driven league these days. If you don't have one, you can't win. Michael Lombardi knows that, so he is throwing it all out to get a Franchise QB next year. Who is going to help you win more games, a Franchise QB or a Franchise RB? Running the ball is so old school anyway, everyone wants to pass. BTW I hope we run the ball all day Sunday and keep Megatron off the field.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Good trade for both sides IMO. People are saying the Colts got robbed but I don't think so. Richardson will now have more room to run. He will do well there, if he can stay healthy.

going with KC tonight in Reids return.

27-21

I think Vick gets hurt as well (not wishing he did just a prediction)

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

I still do not understand why you would trade a first round pick for a running back who was the 3rd best running back from last year's draft, has injury issues, and is barely a top ten running back in this league.
More I think about it, the more the Browns won, they have talent at a lot of key positions and they will probably be able to get a RB in the 3rd round or later that can do what Trent Richardson has done thus far.

Once Cleveland gets a QB (if that ever happens)... it could be Cleveland and Cincy battling for playoff spots instead of the Ravens/Steelers for the next decade.

couldn't agree more . . . and this will also keep Indy from having a first round pick to help improve their offensive line that is almost as bad as ours . . . and IMO worse than Cleveland's, especially on the left side . . .

Blocker just watched as Nate Allen ran past him. Decent scramble attempt by Smith.

Well it kinda says something about getting rolled by this bad eagles team

Eric Berry was on tv yesterday and said he'd love to pick off vick. Well he got his wish

Philly giving up the ball too much. I'm enjoying watching Andy come up into Philly and controlling this game so far.

Looks like either that fast paced offense is starting to fail or teams have started to catch on and adjust.

It says about as much as when we swept the Giants when they won their last SB. Aka not much.

True

Gotta credit Henery. I don't think I've ever seen someone facemask and horsecollar someone at the same time.

Wow ... KC's line is baaaaad.

But still going to beat the Weasels.

Andy Reid knows Eagles inside out and that gave him a huge advantage to winning with his new team.
