Funny as heck these refs come out like they are the stars of the game - tipping their hats and taking bows ...

IMO they already blew one call! That sure looked like roughing the passer - lewis took a full step maybe another half after the pass had been thrown and laid weeden out!

it sure looked that way for a few min, didn't it...?? Glad he got up and walked off smiling. Hope he's really okay

Yeah, being me, we all should know by now that I was joking....about him being dead....which is kinda lame of me to joke about a player dying but that's how I roll. No apologies. Silly_Emote.gif

He sure did look stone cold asleep, quite comfortably I might add. What a warrior though, he had himself picked up and was laughing by the time they came back from commercial. Looking into his eyes you could tell he was kinda embarrassed about it. While he was napping, he had 80,000 people starring at him and most of the players taking a knee, standing vigil over his motionless, corpse-like repose.

I'm hoping the best for him. Looks like a concussion and I don't believe he's ever had any in the NFL.

For those whom missed it;

I wouldn't say he's hated. He's just an average qb, who the media likes to hype up as something more.

And by average, I mean he falls in that qb ranking of #17-15.

I'll just say that I think he's way better than he's rated. The guy has had inept receivers throughout.

Wasn't it helmet to helmet? What was the flag on the field / screen for? When they came back from break that was cleaned up / gone.

Sure looked like it to me. Here's an article about it:

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/09/27/josh-cribbs-hit/70001307/1?csp=34sports

"They did flag two players after a post-play skirmish: Ravens safety James Ihedigbo and the Browns' Johnson Bademosi for personal fouls."

I went to bed at half, so I didn't see Weeden mount a comeback attempt.

But from what I saw in the first half, this guy is bad. Like worse than Blaine Gabbert bad!

I was thinking the same thing after the first half... but I actually stuck around to the end of the game and Weeden made some good throws when it counted (including a beautiful pass to the end zone that Little dropped, forcing the Browns to settle for 3). If he were a young guy, I think Browns fans would have reason to feel optimistic about their long-term prospects with him behind center. However, because he's 29 and looks less pro ready than two of his fellow rookies (and several of the rookies last season) I seriously doubt his career will last long enough to have a prime.

He did look better than year one Gabbert, though.

It was a nasty hit but Ellerbes intent did not look to be helmet to helmet and from what I can tell was not a helmet to helmet anyway from the replays and angles of the replays it was a shoulder to helmet hit caused by Cribbs leaning down while Cox had his lower legs wrapped up (Ellerbe looked to be going for the ball in my opinion, also did you see how Ellerbe reacted as Cribbs was being tended to? Also, I am not saying anyone in particular but many seem to react to a violent helmet to helmet hit like they are all intentional which many ARE NOT, Helmets are big they are going to collide many times do to bodies colliding together at a high rate of speed

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
