Tour2ma Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Time to start turning the page and hop a plane to SoCal where one of the more "thrilling" final approaches awaits us. I swear you can see into building windows out the right side of the plane. Once on the ground we can finalize our game plan before heading to Belmont Park for a head-clearing ride on the Giant Dipper. As I said in the "Goal-line..." thread, I'm optimistic, but there are some adjustments I'd like to see. Here's my Game 4 Wish List: Scratch MJ, activate BibbsOur latest attempt to find a FB is not doing significantly better than our 2014 attempts. Let's try the guy that sparked several Pre-season drives with his legs at H-back. Scratch Housler, Activate BoweWith Bibbs active to fill out our 3TE sets, I don't think we'll miss Housler's zero YTD receptions. Bowe knows SD... or at least he should after a lifetime in the AFCW; time to check out our $9mm-man. Install Draughn as our #2 RBStart Crow, but give the guy who has shown signs of field vision some touches early. Based upon the early results distribute the touches accordingly. Use Duke in passing situations. His PassPro, hands and open field running all warrant this use of him... running out of a set, not so much. Stop acting like a TE presence is required every single play... This ain't Fantasy...Barn is having a good year, but we don't have a TE that creates a significant match up issue. In passing situations let's see some 4WR, or even 5WR, sets... let's flood secondaries with our quantity of good WR quality. Now as promised, here's your ride on the Dipper... a true classic...

gumby73 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Tour your wish list is spot on. I can only add, 1.The Flags have got to stop on ST & Offensive plays period. Cannot continue to give up any positive yardage. Be discipline on the road. 2. I believe theirs some turnovers to be had with Rivers if we get to him but we must play our best run defense of the year this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Well it appears our troubles may be over... "Yes. It starts Sunday," Dwayne Bowe said. "I can't wait to go out there and showcase my talent and be a ringleader for the guys and go out there and bring home a win. That's all I can ask for. If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do." http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/10/cleveland_browns_dwayne_bowe_i.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flugel Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Well it appears our troubles may be over... "Yes. It starts Sunday," Dwayne Bowe said.

If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do." http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/10/cleveland_browns_dwayne_bowe_i.html I hear ya and appreciate the sense of humor. Football is suddenly going to work like a light switch that turns on THIS Sunday afternoon. Phew! I couldn't believe how wonderful it all looked last year when we were sporting a 7-4 record prior to Josh Gordon's similar thought process laced with empty promises. Man, was our passing game ever fun to watch when Gordon came back and delivered on his promises. Our opponents adored watching him not remember the playbook, taking plays off, and dropping passes depicting just how dialed in he was. He punctuated all that with how important it was to show up for team meetings in preparation for the next opponent. Sometimes I wonder who our opponent is on Sundays. I couldn't help but notice Bowe back pocketed all accountability and any inevitable setbacks to God with this classic above: "If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do." Thatta boy. We know how important it is for God to prioritize the football ahead for all the overpaid NFL Players robbing salary caps like gypsies. For example: Fat Albert Haynesworth, Phil Butneverfull Taylor, Shawn Lauvao-ouch, Ryan Leaf-mealone, Tequila Sunrise Stallworth (power-soaked Cleveland for 2 signing bonuses at the exchange value of 1 TD reception in 2 years). We've already seen guys past their primes coming here to cash paychecks while they learned how to answer how much pain they are feeling on a scale of 1-5 for their soft tissue injuries. Sometimes an empty inner chest is just empty regardless of how much football talent sits in that rear view mirror. I'll be rooting for all the guys that show me they want to play like a Brown because they're pretty easy to appreciate these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Unfortunately I am just as skeptical on Bowe as you Flugel. I see another NFL has been checking into the Browns Assisted Living Program. I'd love to be proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Where are you getting that Duke can't run out of a set? First, you are dangerously close to being sent to find a rake. At least you could edit out the video... Watching Duke run. He's not seeing holes. Way too eager to bounce outside. YTD he's carried 23 times for 68 yds... and had one for 20. Let him find success in space catching the ball, and then work him back into the backfield. But if Draughn can't go vs. SD, then it's all moot.

Flugel Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I remember reading about how the Holy Spirit wasn't capable of helping a man in his career if it was something that men deem "unimportant." Oh wait.... War, let me help you out with that speed read you butchered by a country mile with a cut and paste of exactly what was written: I couldn't help but notice Bowe back pocketed all accountability and any inevitable setbacks to God with this classic above: "If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do." Thatta boy. We know how important it is for God to prioritize the football ahead for all the overpaid NFL Players robbing salary caps like gypsies. For example: Fat Albert Haynesworth War, try to think of periods at the end of sentences as ideal opportunities to slow down, exhale and grasp what you just read. It was really important to understand the difference between men and God in the comprehension of it all. Moral of the story, if you suck at speed reading - you might want to refrain from it.

wargograw Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yes, you are the man deeming it unimportant instead of letting God make those determinations. I don't like when people do that. There's nothing in the Bible that says you can't pray about football. You were the one that misread what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing in the Bible that says you can't pray about football. You were the one that misread what I said. Thank you for telling me I'm the man. I appreciate that. However it doesn't change your piss poor reading comprehension when you speed read. Actions mean more than empty promises; and spare me this praying about football nonsense you pulled out of your small intestines. One of us uses cut and paste while the other consistently refuses this courtesy. The beauty of cut and paste is it allows me to be responsible for what I say instead of you. Meanwhile, it also prevents you from going back and changing what you typed. Since my post was too inconvenient for you to cut and paste (gee, there's a surprise) - I'll re-extend myself that courtesy fully knowing you'll refuse to read most of it again: I couldn't help but notice Bowe back pocketed all accountability and any inevitable setbacks to God with this classic above: "If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do."

wargograw Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Quoting it again and restating your position doesn't actually point out any errors in what I said. I'm on mobile almost 100% of the time I'm on this board. There were no edits after the fact, my friend. Not sure why you're taking it so personally. Because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm being discourteous. I wouldn't want to do that. But I also don't like when guys make fun of people for mentioning their trust in God.

Because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm being discourteous. I wouldn't want to do that. But I also don't like when guys make fun of people for mentioning their trust in God. We've had enough good conversations to the extent I feel we have a mutual respect War. Therefore, I took your "Oh wait" as an invite to playful ballbust rather than feeling like you were getting personal. IMO, speed reading is choosing what's important to emphasize so that's what I went after with a WWWF flavor. I attacked that rather than your character. Glad you're here man. I'm not gonna pretend I'm the best Christian on the planet; but it goes right through me when an NFL player with a dream salary (thanks God!) all of sudden says it's up to God whether he can play or not. My take is how about remembering the same God has Bowe sporting the best contract of his life so how about putting it on himself to show up in the best shape of his career for the NFL franchise/GM sticking his neck out for him? Nope, it's up to God whether Bowe can play or not. You and I will continue to disagree on whether Bowe deserves our support there. This has nothing to do with prayers. My guess is if God prioritized football players that were sincere in prayer and walking the walk - he would have helped Tebow live his dream better than a guy like Ben Rapen. The same Jesus that threw a fit at people worshipping gold and coins (told his apostles to take the shirts off their backs) wouldn't have found Deion Sanders wearing half a jewelry store around his neck while pretending to be a man of Jesus to be nearly as cute as the networks. And when God has equipped guys like Haynesworth, Phil Taylor, Suh or Bowe with talents that get them gigantic contracts - he also empowers them with an opportunity to show up in the best shape of their careers. And what's gone on after many of these guys signed on the dotted line and received their signing bonuses? I've seen too many FAs and players come here since 1999 that weren't willing to honor their side of why this franchise was willing to pay them generously. Bowe showed up making promises that his actions have disagreed with. He wasn't in shape and here we are - what it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Some of us get what you're trying to say Fluges...... My take was he kinda laid it all on God and left it there as his excuse for not playing....which was both of our perceptions... Dont see anywhere where you are mocking or making fun of his trust in his God..... Though I do see Bowe not trusting, but questioning "if God is capable of having him out there"......capable?.....hahaha.... People see what they want, I guess....
