I think Shannahan said Forbath would not be allowed to do anything until Friday.

Won't know til the weekend. Judging from this article, I'd say he's still questionable.

Kai Forbath says his injured groin muscle is improving

I wonder if we can pry Joe Haden from Cleveland in the fire-sale over there.

Who says it's a fire sale? The current Browns executives are obviously trying to position themselves to trade up in the next draft for a player who they hope will become their Franchise QB. That's what the previous Browns executives should have done when they had the chance to get RGIII.

Actually, I don't see it that way. I honestly think they're trying to play competitive football, but I think they're fine if they win two games and have the number overall pick.

After these first two games I will be ecstatic if fg's make a difference.

No but your thoughts on the game were'nt filled with optimism, and as our leader it is your job to always be optimistic.

Yeah but they just spent a high first rounder on Trent? They also gave up a 4,5,and 7 to get him on top of that? They are going to have probably a top three pick anyway? To me it seems like they are basically giving up Trent for another first round pick on top of the qb they are already going to be in position to get. Only time will tell.

The new FO and coaches don't believe Richardson will fit in their long-term plan, might as well trade him now while his value is still high. Mid to late 1st round pick is still better than latter rounds. They can trade away that 1st round pick to stockpile on 2nd and 3rd picks on first day of draft. Either way, it's win and win situations for both Browns and Colts.

Another option I would of liked to seen is for them to persue trading Richardson out of the AFC.

An NFC teams with draft picks to throw around in need of RB ... the St. Louis Rams would have been a nice fit.

Plus the Browns would have received a higher first round pick.

Norv loves power backs though. Its going to be win for somebody but i think its to early to say yet. If trent/luck turns out to be manning/james than colts win for sure - pending on who browns get with their pick from the colts will tell if its a win for them.
Edit: you need a top rb at the end of the day imo and they gave up alot to get one. Now he is gone and your holding an unknown in your hands. They were going to be in position to get a qb.

He does?

LaDainian Tomlinson - Nope
Emmitt Smith - Nope


More versatile backs do well in Turner's system. Now Joe Gibbs on the other hand, would have loved him some Trent Richardson.
