Delhommme, Wallace Guide Browns to Win

Delhommme, Wallace Guide Browns to Win

Nice win Browns

Browns won today and looked quite good in winning. I was very impressed with Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, and TJ Ward.

Of all the free agent prospects, I thought DE Cliff Geathers showed the most. He didn't dominate but he held his own and showed flashes of real potential.

Colt walks off injured

Colt hurt his hand today. He looked a bit overwhelmed and Green Bay tested him by blitzing. On the play he was injured, he was hit as he let go of a pass that was intercepted. Let's hope the injury is not serious. The sooner he goes through these growing pains, the sooner he will mature.

Live from Lambeau

21-14 Browns at the half. Lots of good news. Delhomme looked great,A so did Wallace. TJ Ward was burned for a TD but other than that he was fantastic!

Good start!

Brownies look sharp

NFL: Goodell yet to make the decision on Rogers

The Brown Log certainly joined many others in poking a bit of fun at Shaun Rogers when he was caught with a loaded gun at an airport a few months back. But now that NFL commish Goodell is nearing a decision we would like to be serious for a moment. The recent tragic killing of ex Cavaliers center Lorenzen Wright in Memphis really underlines just how much of a target these wealthy young athletes are. By all accounts, Shaun Rogers is a nice young man, this further underlined by his recent heroic intervention in assisting police to nab a drunk driver. Roger Goodell has correctly used common sense to punish bad behavior in cases like the one against Ben Roethlisberger. The Brown Log believes in this case common sense dictates that Shaun Rogers be fined a reasonable amount but not suspended.

Vintage Browns: 1980 Browns Walkoff winning drive vs Packers

one of the greatest comebacks in Brown's history, this 9 minute video is a "can't miss" for anybody who loved the Kardiac Kids. On the last play, the famous 46 yard touchdown pass from Sipe to Logan, watch Sipe carefully. As he comes to the line of scrimmage, he notes that the Packers are coming with a maximum blitz. Sipe then simply uses his head to look at Logan and motion for Logan to "go long". This unbelieveable sequence is a play that probably couldn't occur in the modern era because Sipe and Logan had so many years playing together they could communicate at this level but with today's free agency schemes, it's very rare that a QB and his receivers are able to work together for the years needed to develop this kind of feeling.

Training camp update: Joel Reinders

According to Coach Mangini, "Joel Reinders is doing well in camp, getting better every day."
It's early and everyone is filled with optimism but Reinders is 6'7" and 310 pounds and a great athlete, there's reason to be optimistic.

Hardesty Injures Knee

Browns draft pick Montario Hardesty Injures Knee and will be out for several weeks. The Browns paid a huge price for Hardesty, who not only has a long history of getting hurt, but there are also serious doubts about his skills as a football player. This is a bad sign.

Why Delhomme tanked last year

here is an article with some interesting insights into why Jake Delhomme had such a bad year last year. As we get to the bottom of the story it really does become apparent how difficult it is to be a successful QB in the NFL and it also gives real hope that Delhomme can benefit from the experience and have a decent year with the Browns.

Delhomme's success is very important not only because we want to win now, but also because the ideal scenario for the Browns is to let young Colt McCoy stay on the bench his first year or two and absorb the complexities of the game without any pressure to perform. It's not often mentioned, but Brian Sipe actually was on the taxi squad his first two years with the Browns, and even Sipe himself states that this was a blessing.
