Its very late/ very early, but ESPNews is reporting that LeBron is going to Miami.  The Boston, NY, and Chicago blogs are blowing up with comments even at this hour, so I figured after throwing my two cents around with their members, we needed a post here.  In my view, this sure seems like a marketing smokescreen leak from the LeBron camp to produce even more interest in the primetime "Decision" show.  It follows the pattern - In the 30 hours before the decision, its announced LeBron will do the show just outside of NYC, creating Knicks speculation.  Then, 20 hours before, throw a rumor out there about joining a superteam in Miami.  Meanwhile, during the whole free agent process, make all the prospective teams come to downtown Cleveland.  Its marketing for tv... keep interest in three teams to make it more theatrical for primetime.  Regardless, tonite we will know the direction our franchise will take over the foreseeable future.  We will either be adding a few pieces for a championship run, or we will fall from elite to rebuilding.  

1. Eric Berry, FS, Tenn--  our Ed Reed

2. Alex Carrington, DE, Ark St-- (6-foot-5, 280 pounds), at pro day performed for d-line coaches from Cleveland

3. Ben Tate, RB, Auburn-- good college production and showed explosiveness in workouts

3. Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson-- Holmgren wants a speed receiver; fastest man at the combine

3. Mike Neal, DE, Purdue-- (6'3, 295 pounds), at pro day worked out for d-line coach Bryan Cox

5. O'Brien Schofield, OLB, Wisc-- tore ACL at senior bowl; Brian Bulaga(1st round off. tackle) said at combine that Schofield was the toughest guy to block he ever faced

5. Alterraun Verner, CB, UCLA-- cornerback to challenge Brandon McDonald and Coye Francies 

5. Marshall Newhouse, OG, TCU-- offensive line depth

6. Mike Kafka, QB, Northwestern-- Holmgren's QB project

6. Jameson Konz, Athlete, Kent St-- great size and athlete; project, Browns only team at his workout

Urban Meyer has just announced his resignation from the Florida Gators.  He is from Ashtabula, OH, he coached at Bowling Green.  Did Mike Holmgren talk Meyer into this by offering him the head coaching job of the Browns next year?  I know some people (me included) are leery of college coaches starting as rookie head coaches in the NFL.  Would this be the second coming of a Nick Saban disaster?   At least Meyer has no connection with Belicheck.  How would you react if Urban Meyer was selected by Mike Molmgren to be our next head coach?

i see weakness both offensively and defensively at our shooting guard position.  some people want Delonte to start again or for Boobie to get more minutes, since he is playing well.  however, i would like to continue to see Delonte coming off the bench because he can play both guard positions and he is our only bench player that can create his own shot off the dribble.  also, Boobie is too small to guard most shooting guards so, i like his role to stay the same as well.  the change i would like to see is for Danny Green to get some of the 30 minutes that Anthony Parker is getting every nite. say, 10 minutes per game.  lets see what he can do as a change of pace for Parker.  Green is a similar player in size and ability to Parker, but much younger with more athletism.  Anthony Parker seems to do a lot of standing around on offense and looks slow defending young athletic SGs.  we need to develop Green now, so he can help in the backcourt come playoff time.
