Random thoughts from a slightly deranged Browns Fan

• I am a life long Browns fan which is my life long penance. They are a team I have stuck with through thick and thin. I think Romeo is on heck of nice guy, but enough is enough and he must now be replaced.

• Why is it when the media, players, coaches, writers talk about Romeo the first thing they ALL say is...He sure is a nice guy. In four years, I have never ever heard any say...He sure is a Good HC.

• I am not going to bash him all of his obvious HC flaws, which include but are not limited to Clock Management, Insistence of playing over the hill, washed up, game passed em by Veterans over young players that have shown flashes in their extremely limited playing time. Oh Ya, I can't forget his propensity for playing the prevent D the entire game. Enough already, you get the point.

• I think Big Willie is the slowest human being on earth. Not sure if there is a medical condition called slothitis, but if there is he must have contracted it at the Cleveland Clinic.

• How do the Browns have 7 guys surrounding 'Grill' Lynch and none of them make an attempt to tackle him. I've seen more aggression displayed at an all you can eat buffet. Way to Coach them up RAC. Nice D the last 3 weeks

• How in the world does the HC in his presser admit the D was tired or fatigued or a little bloated and not feeling up to the challenge and still have a job?

• Saw something Monday night that I have not seen in about a year and a half. A Cleve QB at the line of scrimmage, looks around and then calls an audible. Atta boy BQ. THAT 'S what a QB is supposed to. I think it brought a tear to my eye.

• How about Romeo actually "challenging" a call and winning. I think he is now 6 for 30 or so in his time as HC. What is even more sad is the fact his % is only slightly worse than DA completion %.

• Ya ya, You can say that BQ completion % was just a bad a DA's, but at least BQ looked the part. He was poised and did not get rattled and will only get better.

• Hey Tippy Toes, aren't you supposed to be a 240 pound bad a$$? What do you call that running, Swan Lake?

• Hypothetically speaking. If I were to tell RAC he could have a RB that avg's about 7 yds a carry and 12 or so yds a reception. What do you think he would say...mmmm...No thanks, tippy toes over here is a vet and he must get a least have 20 carries or we won't win. UUUGGGHHHHH

• When I think about most of current Browns, why is the first thing that comes to mind is they seem nice and I think I would like to have a picnic with them or they would make good neighbors. Case in point # 15. Jason Wright. Nice guy, but why is he on the field? Oh to pick up the blitz you say...um did you watch the MNF game? Terrible. Was Moses was playing MLB for the Bills.

• OK, with 2:40 left. Why did Chud go hurry up, Shotgun, 4 wide and pass every time. Worse yet JL was in the game but did not stay back to block, he also went out for a pass. Makes no sense. The should have ran base O and mixed up the play calls?

• Gotsta go Cavs on

2009 Draft scenario v.1.2

OK Greg, tell me if you like this scenario.

Browns 2009 NFL draft:

• Round 1 - Rey Maualuga, LB USC
• Round 1* - Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
• Round 2 - CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson
• Round 2* - Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
• Round 4 - best available CB/S

*Browns trade Braylon Edwards to Detroit for their 20th selection in the first round. (Lions fans, forget for a moment that Edwards can't catch and remember his 2007 16TD ProBowl campaign)

** DA traded to a team desperate for a strong armed vertical passer that'll make their fans jaw drop in both amazement and displeasure, often in the same drive.

Hmm...

Does anyone else find it interesting that Travis Daniels is in for the first defensive play of the game then McDonald plays the entire rest of the game? What message does that send?

"Sorry BMac, we're going to start the other guy," says RAC while munching on a two day old slice of pepperoni pizza. "Nothing personal, but we gotta give the guy a look. Management says so."

"No problem, coach," Brandon replies. "Whatever's best for the team."

RAC tells 22 to be ready though, because he'll be needed.

RAC does what he's told, starting Daniels -- the guy Savage traded a draft pick for (snicker, snicker) -- but then gives him the hook after just one play.

Stick it to the man RAC!

Bills post-game notes

Greg,

As usual, before I read any of the official media's response to the game last night, I need to offer my own insight, so it isn't tainted.

• A win? 2-yards to the left and it's a loss. (insert 'if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle' here). At least they didn't get pounded 28-0.

• The Browns o-line was not consistently good.

• Braylon needs to shut his yap until he can get through a game without dropping passes. Hey Arizona! Red rover, red rover, send Anquan Boldin right over! Here, take Edwards!

• Shaun Rogers was triple teamed in the game and still got push. Imagine if Tucker actually sent delayed blitzers to shoot through the holes. Oh wait, that would pull from our 8-man max zone. Everyone knows you can't have a max zone with only 6 guys. My bad, Tucker. Sorry for getting excited about the possibility of applying pressure on a QB on 3rd down. Rogers is a beast.

• Lynch started slow but ended well. Do you think our inability to make a tackle helped, Greg? Do you think Andra Davis can go to the front office again and offer to take yet another pay cut? If so, he should take Wimbley, McGinnest and Leon Williams with him. Isn't tackling a requisite for success as a linebacker?

• A Romeo Crennel defense is boring wihout an old dinosaur someplace on the roster, wouldn't you say? Last year it was Tedd Washington. This year, #55. And don't forget the offensive equivalent, Jamaal Lewis. Yes, he can still bring it, but that old mule leaves more yards on the field than he pots in his stat column.

• Yes, more Harrison is good. No complaints here. Give #35 the ball.

• Stats won't agree, but I don't think Quinn played poorly. For the second game in a row though, he disappointed me with field management. Yes, the OC calls the plays, but Quinn needs to realize that with 3 time outs and a 1:30 on the clock, he can use the entire field. No excuse for not dinking and dunking to get in better field goal position. Dawson saved the day here.

• Did anyone block Kavika Mitchell in this game? Goodness.

• Stroud either had a great game or Fraley needs to eat fewer cheeseburgers and hit the weight room. Don't get me wrong, I love Fraley's leadership, experience and grizzly farmer persona, but he's being exposed this year. Maybe Ryan Tucker is THAT good.

• Alex Hall needs to be removed from special teams, pronto. All 3 big returns existed because of gaps between he and Sorrenson. On the touchdown, Hall had his head down while engaged with the blocker.

• Let's see if I get this straight... Cribbs busts tail to cover the kick, chase down the returner then runs back out to return our kick, the very next play? Dude is in good shape.
