The Not So Obvious From the Browns Game

Ya I would like to see some more sacks. I can't believe Horton whiffed on his blitz. That was pitiful. He had a clean lane and shot at Anderson and took an inside path for some reason like Anderson is some speed demon. Anderson easily sidestepped him.

Hopefully we will get more sacks, thou our DL was a concern going into this season since we never really addressed it in the offseason.

We addressed it, and felt it was fine until the first two hours of TC. Then Taylor was brought to town. We would have had a couple more sacks out of the DL if Anderson had held a fraction longer and hadn't tossed into the dirt. So the dirt helped a lot yesterday!

I think once Jason Taylor gets back up to speed the sacks will come.

i hope so because despite having the league's 8th best defense,
i would bet we are near the bottom when it comes to team sacks are'nt we?

I think they said 22nd overall during the game yesterday

Actually we've moved up to #6 after yesterday's game One ahead of the Eagles and just behind the Panthers if you can believe that.

Rogers best game yet. Little scared when JC went down. CP get's the game ball for sure.

What's with running a reverse with Fred Davis? I thought the idea was to give that play to someone with just a tad bit more speed.

I like that they're trying to get him more involved though. And Devin Thomas -- why can't they just send him on a fly pattern deep and launch the ball to him? At least you know he'd go pretty much unnoticed by the defense since he's seldom used.

Yeah, that was strange. I think Davis can get open, and he did.

Thomas should be able to get some looks too. Yesterday we were just conservative. Only 23 throws i believe. So, no one was going to light it up.

I t may be just me and the commentators but I thought he was going to throw it. It's not a bad idea really, because nobody expects your TE to throw the ball. They just shut the play down too quickly for him. for all the criticism, the Browns defense isn't all that bad.

I agree about the pass rush, but I suspect we were building O in this years draft and looking to next year to pump up the lines on both sides of the ball. The current record may well be something of a bonus to the organisation who I think were looking to next year to get competitive. IF we can pick the right players up in next years draft, imagine how much better we will be? Right now we need Taylor to get his groove back.

As to the passing game, I think Campbell is being deliberately careful and trying to avoid mistakes. Am I alone in thinking I wouldn;t mind seeing him make a few more throws down field and risk the INT?

Portis was beast yesterday. running for 175 and a td. I hope our passing game steps it up next week against the lions. I wanna see lots of points next week. How about Carlos rogers hit on Cribbs. Ouch!

Hail to the redskins

I thought he broke that dudes back. Not to many corners are laying the wood like Rogers is doing now.

That was an awesome hit. But, what made it so much better was the next play, Laron blasted Braylon Edwards. I was waiting to see him get lit up all game after what he said.

Lo-Rog has finally been playing to his potential!! this was the last year i was giving him until i labeled him a bust. I guess major reconstructive knee surgery was a blessing because he is definitely bringing it. I like moss returning punts, but when is devin thomas going to get a shot at it? He was a beast return man with msu.
