Michigan State hires Mark Dantonio

The Browns don’t need to worry any more about losing defensive coordinator Todd Grantham to Michigan State. The Spartans instead decided to hire Mark Dantonio, currently the head coach at the University of Cincinnati. Ohio State fans will remember Dantonio as the defense coordinator of the Buckeyes during the 2002 National Championship season. This is a great choice for Michigan State, and a great opportunity for Dantonio.

As for Grantham, the Browns have to be relived. Despite the pitiful performance yesterday against the Bengals, Grantham has done an excellent job with the Browns defense. The secondary has been ravaged by injuries, but Grantham has successfully overseen the transition to a 3-4 defense. If thing continue to spin out of control in Berea, the firery Grantham would have to be a candidate to take over for Crennel. The Browns have invested too much in the 3-4 defense from a personnel standpoint to make a change in scheme.

Crennel needs to go…NOW

The Cleveland Browns are an embarrassment to the city of Cleveland. Today, the Browns didn’t even show up for the inner state rivalry game against the Cincinnati Bengals. We can complain about Charlie Frye not having the talent, Braylon Edwards not shutting his mouth, or the offensive line not blocking. The bottom line is Romeo Crennel needs to be FIRED.

I know everyone is tired of new coaches, new players, and new management, but Crennel’s style is not working for this organization. Phil Savage promised this city a new image. The current image is the worst it’s been since the return of the Browns.

I have said this since Modell and his backstabbing group left town. We need a coach that “gets in face of players” when they don’t listen. This teams needs discipline and a WE attitude. I refuse to wait till the end of the year to fix this problem. This city and fans deserve changes NOW and the first should be the FIRING OF ROMEO CRENNEL.

Browns lay an egg

The Browns got completely embarassed and humiliated in front of their home crowd, losing 30-0 Sunday to the Bengals. Charlie Frye threw four picks and nothing went right for the Browns all day long in one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. Things got off on the wrong foot right from the opening kickoff when Joshua Cribba took it to the hosue, only to be called back on a holding call.

To make matters worse, Braylon Edwards continues to show his prima donna, T.O immaturity by shoving Frye on the sidelines at one point during the second half. The team showed absolutley no passion or excitement and looked like they still hadn’t recovered from last week’s close call to Pittsburgh. I’m sure plenty of storylines will develop over the next few days regarding Edwards, Frye, Crennel, and the extreme disappointment with the entire organization.

Edwards catches grief, instead of footballs

Cleveland Browns starting receiver Braylon Edwards attempted to “back off” on his statement about teammate Brian Russell’s hit on Chad Johnson when addressing the media. He said Russell was a teammate and they have to go to battle together. In my opinion, Edwards needs to shut his mouth and produce on the field.

Braylon stated that receivers are “hung out there” a lot in this league. This may be a sign of HIS toughness or lack of. The skilled positions in the NFL are paid very well to perform on the field and take hard shots during a game. If Edwards isn’t prepared to do this, he should practice punting during the off-season.

The Browns and Coach Romeo Crennell have a ton of work to do before they’re successful in this league. The last thing Romeo needs to worry about is the mouth of an unproven superstar.

Edwards delivers the turkey…himself

The Cleveland Browns are struggling to win games these days. The offense can’t score, the defense struggles, and most of the time, it’s the coaching. The last thing Romeo Crennel needs right now is a selfish player sounding off in the paper. Braylon Edwards decided that he would be the turkey this weekend.

Edwards questioned the play calling in the red zone. This is coming from a player that DOESN’T always make the catch, RARELY makes the block, and is just starting to progress in this league. I’m amazed how it’s never a “team” sport when a team starts to struggle. I believe the Browns are struggling and need to make drastic changes, but through the media is the worst way to communicate.

WAIT. I’m not done. Braylon Edwards decided to question the sportsmanship of a teammate. He believes the Brian Russell doesn’t need to deliver some of the hits during the course of a football game. Is this guy for real? Russell is out there hustling and trying to make plays on a team that is sinking fast and Edwards questions his actions. The opponents compliment Russell for his effort and Edwards questions it.

It’s time for Crennel to shut the mouths of these players or one of the two has to go.
