Nnamdi Asomugha to be a free agent

Nnamdi Asomugha contract voided
This guy was a beast to my recent memory, but he seemed to have a drop-off for some reason. I think part of the reason was him only being healthy for 14/16 games. Long and the short, his contract is voided since his contract contained a clause saying that if he didn't achieve certain stats in this year, he'd be a free agent without being able to be franchised.
Who wants this guy?

What better way to celebrate a day that emphasizes family togetherness, good graces, and wholesome traditional values than with a cultish 8-ball able to predict the very future we will live? Welcome to a very special edition of the Magic 8-Ball!

This caused some problems and misunderstandings on Sunday. But whatever. The important thing is that I have a wonderful opportunity here. Who wants to join in?
Magic 8-Ball Week 11 Edition

One of the few times I wish the Magic 8-ball is wrong is when it predicts a Browns' loss. Unfortunately, the 8-Ball hasn't been wrong so far. Let's see what it has in store for week 11.

Magic Eightball - Week 10 Edition
by BrownDawg1409 on Nov 9, 2010 10:52 PM EST

Here's the rub: I have a magic eight ball that's rarely wrong about something. And if it ever IS wrong, a wizard did it. So why don't we polish off the dust and see what's in store for the Brown's future? If this topic does well enough, I'd like to do it every week. Let's go! *cue Sitar music*
Browns OR Buckeyes?

I just noticed, but this Thursday the Bucks are playing at 7:30 while the Browns kick off their final preason game at 8. I don't know about you, but I'm going to spend my night watching the Browns.
Rule of 26-27-60 as a tool to determine QB success rate?

SI's John Lopez elaborates on a quick guide to predicting if a QB will be a success in the NFL after time in college, though not nearly as beautiful and factful as BK19's article on the subject.

Bobby Carpenter to the Browns?

Rumor has it that the Cowboys are looking to trade 2006 first round LB Bobby Carpenter.
Is an offline gathering a possiblity?

This is something I've been thinking about for a while now. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think something along the lines of an annual off-line get together would be a pretty cool experience.
How'd you become a fan?

We're probably the 2'nd craziest fanbase in the league. Just who sticks with a team that's only had two decent seasons in 10 years?
We all have our reasons.

I'm not talking about Butch Davis folks. The great thing about this country is that everyone gets a chance at anything. I've decided that I should run for the office of Browns' GM opposite Mooncamping.
Evaluating the 2007 Draft
by BrownDawg1409 on Dec 5, 2009 1:05 AM EST
on Dawgs By Nature
There has been a LOT of scrutiny lately on our rookie draft class for a couple of reasons.
1) We're tanking at 1-10 and demand out rookies play in order to at least develop.
2) A couple of rookies either arn't seeing the field (see: Francies) or even suiting up (See: Veikune, Roboskie).
This has led to some frustrating debates on what could have been, what should have been, and what went wrong again. At this point, I'm starting to get sick of all the draft bashing. Mostly because people should wait a few years before judging busts. Partly because we don't have much else to do.
Having said all that, why not critique a class that's plenty eligible for critiscm? Hindsight is 20/20 after all.
Parcells to become Cleveland Czar?
by BrownDawg1409 on Nov 28, 2009 8:44 PM EST

Keep in mind, this is just one of the many rumors out there.
It's been said by people close to Bill Parcells that he's been contacted by the Browns to take over as THEIR new head of football operations and that he's shown some interest. As farfetch'd as it sounds, it makes a certain amount of sense.
My own notes on the Browns' loss to GB

After watching some of the highlights, I'm a little more confident that the Browns will have some upside this year.
My observations:
1) The staff is not only moving Wimbley, but they're teaching him more moves two.
How many times have we seen his shoulder dip? If you watch the pass plays were Wimbley rushes, you'll see him attempt a few club/rip moves to get the tackle off of him. Obviously they didn't work in this reel, but you get the point. Where before he would just chase and chase, he's working on counters that will increase the pressure he creates.
2) Long runs were just bad gap control.
At 0:17, I'm guessing Barton was supposed to be reading the gap that the RB would take. In this one, he guesses wrong and ends up in the same gap as a D-lineman. Our playes are going to have to be disciplined in controlling their gaps and not getting nosy for the ball.
3) Just look who was open!!!
At 3:17 of the video (the Quinn pick) I'm sure that if Quinn wasn't under pressure, he would have seen the wide open Harrison who may have been able to take it in for a TD. Another example of how we're going to struggle if we can't protect the QB.
4) Anderson's Pick
Interestingly enough, it was Alex Mack who has at center when Anderson was picked off (2:17). The Browns used an interesting pass protection for this. The line slides left while LG Eric Steinbach pulls to the right. This was probally used to emphasize play action, but it essentially makes Steinbach the RT as eveyone else slides left a position, including TE Robert Royal, who was on the right side to begin with. Either way, it looks like the RG->C on the play was to blame as the blitz broke through their 'A' gap. Still doesn't change the fact that Anderson could have tried to slide and avoid the rush.
5) Who's covering him?
At 1:47, the Packers run a play that moves both of their backs out of the backfield on delayed routes, one RB+ one TE. Jackson runs with the RB on the flats. Barton steps up to the line, but never really blitzes. My guess is that he was in man coverage over the backfield TE. But he doesn't see him, and the TE makes a big gain over the middle.
There's my two cents worth. I know there's a game discussion topic, but I figured this would be better for everyone to see my list of thought.
