Dominated a lesser team, 41-10. Troy Smith was maddening. Is it against the rules to just have him run the option?

I can see why they stick with the kid…he can throw the rock. Problem is he needs to learn the position of QB, specifically the part where you actually move your head from side to side in order see more than one receiver. I guess we’re stuck with him.

Mike Brown’s emphasis on defense is sinking in, up and down the Cavs bench.

“No defense, player does not play,” Pavlovic said. “I’m going to have to work on that, give all my energy to be better in defense every day.”

Sasha’s always been a big question mark, but an intriguing one. I hope the guy figures out a way to contribute. Mike Brown is making it clear what it will take.

“We can’t just have Sasha scoring 10 to 12 points and not getting it done on the other end. We can’t afford to have anybody coming off the bench trading baskets.”

Love this. Absolutely loving this.

On the old Brownies front, maybe Jeff Garcia starts, but Kevin Johnson certainly will.

Former Browns receiver Kevin Johnson is starting for the Lions ahead of first-round pick Mike Williams out of USC and leads the team with 17 catches for 133 yards. Johnson moved into the starting lineup when 2003 No. 2 overall pick Charles Rogers was suspended for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. The Lions’ other first-round receiver, Roy Williams, is listed as questionable with a quadriceps injury.

KJ is one of those guys whose departure I never really understood.
