Crennel’s slowly slowly approach

I saw this clip on the news the other day, and it just appeared in the PD.

“You guys like Braylon, right?” Crennel said. “Ever since we signed Braylon, you guys have been talking about Braylon this and Braylon that.” “If Braylon makes some more plays, that might help him out,” Crennel said Crennel went on to say that Edwards is making great progress and that he’s not dissatisfied with him in any way. He also said he might move him up to the No. 1 receiver at some point this season.

I really like Crennel’s approach. He’s under absolutely no pressure to win right now, but even if he was, you get the sense that he’s just going to take his time with every player. That’s good.

Pittsburgh reporter on OSU-Penn State

Chico Harlan of the Pitteburgh Post-Gazette was on Kenny Roda this afternoon. He noted that the Bucks linebackers will probably shut down the Penn State running game. A regular at Chico’s Q&A page isn’t impressed.

I forced myself to go to Columbus, Ohio, and lo and behold I saw two men with hair so ratty it looked like they were using a new shampoo called Raw Sewage. Women would walk up to them on High Street and ask them how they were doing in their AIDS Awareness and golf classes and, immediately, I knew: These were Ohio State linebackers.

Nothing like some good trash talk, eh?? There’s lots more where that came from, so click the link. I think those ratty haired linebackers are gonna run rampant on Penn State, like they’re gonna do all year, every game.

Cribbs back this week

One of the best things about preseason was how Josh Cribbs returned kickoffs. Straight upfield. No nonsense. Fearless. He should be back in the lineup this week

Cribbs never ran kickoffs until he came to the Browns. It’s a job nobody else wants. Former Browns returner Andre Davis didn’t want to do it, and punt returner Dennis Northcutt doesn’t want to do it. Cribbs embraces the job. “There’s a lot of linebackers running down full speed,” he said. “Wide receivers want to stay away from linebackers. I don’t care at all. I’m trying to make a mark at it. I’m trying to make a name for myself, being that tough guy willing to do whatever it takes.

On a side note…why was William Green the only one running back kickoffs in the meantime? He seems the antithesis of Cribbs, seems to slow down the closer he gets to the wedge.
