Cleveland browns reboot

He made headlines by having a child with a woman who was not his wife and had some on field altercations with rival players. At the end of the day, it was his lack of production on the field that made Green hit this list.

He would have been higher, but when he was drafted in the Browns needs a running back and the only backs who turned out to better picks were Brian Westbrook and Clinton Portis. The Browns made headlines the other day when they sent their first round pick, Barkevious Mingo, to the New England Patriots for a 5 th round draft pick. In 46 NFL games, Mingo has a total of 7 sacks. The Browns have messed up so many of their first rounders and Mingo was just another one in a long, long line of busts.

It could have been worse however; most people expected them to take Geno Smith with that pick…. The Browns had a chance to get Julio in the NFL draft, but traded their pick to Atlanta because they felt that the wide receiver class was deep. It was, to be fair, but the Browns browned it all up when they chose Greg Little. They used their swapped pick with Atlanta to take Phil Taylor in the first round of the draft see above and then used their first second rounder to take Jabaal Sheard, even though they expressed a lot of interest in the receivers.

By not pulling the trigger earlier they missed out on Julio Jones and Torrey Smith to end up taking Little.

As it turned out, waiting was a good idea because it meant they passed on Titus Young and Jonathan Baldwin, but they still found a way to do it wrong. Greg Little ended up amounting to 1, receiving yards and 8 touchdowns for the Browns in 3 seasons. Every year his production level reduced as his total dropped passes went up and up. He started to piss off his coaches as he showed little signs of even attempting to improve and cared more about his end zone celebrations than actually winning the game.

His bad attitude and lack of ability made most teams put a hard pass on him and he has only started 1 game since the Browns let him go. In , the Browns achieved the very rare feat of having the number 1 overall pick for the second year in a row. Nope, they took Courtney Brown, the only defensive player in the top 20 players drafted that year to not make a pro-bowl.

In fact his rookie season was very productive as he had 69 total tackles and 4. In his sophomore season everything changed. He started the season hurt, and only managed to stay healthy through 5 games. Fans were excited as he got another 4. He was never able to record double-digit sacks in a season, though it was hard for him to play double-digit games in a season. Tim Couch always finds himself on these kinds of lists, some say deservedly.

The former 1 overall pick had one of the most successful careers in Kentucky football history. In 2 full seasons he threw for more than 8, yards and had 75 touchdown passes. Couch, as bad as he was, may have been the second best QB to come out of the draft. His career with the Browns came to an end in when he was benched in favor of journeyman Kelly Holcomb.

Braylon Edwards was a fun player to watch. He was ridiculously fast and he was a brash player who loved to call out rival teams, before Rex Ryan made it cool. However, he really only put up one great season and was more of a distraction for the team than a help.

He got into fights with his teammates, missed team activities, and openly criticized the medical and coaching staff in the media. Much of that hate came from his vomit-educing campaign.

In , Edwards broke the Browns record for most receiving yards in a season and was the first receiver to be named to the Pro-Bowl since the team was recreated. The network understands the uniqueness of Babylon 5 and is giving me a great deal of latitude with the storytelling. As noted in the announcement, this is a reboot from the ground up rather than a continuation, for several reasons. How would it use all the storytelling tools and technological resources available in that were not on hand then?

How can it be used to reflect the world in which we live, and the questions we are asking and confronting every day? Fans regularly point out how prescient the show was and is of our current world; it would be fun to take a shot at looking further down the road.

So we will not be retelling the same story in the same way because of what Heraclitus said about the river. Erick Trickel ErickTrickel : With how this Broncos defense has played, the injuries to the Browns offense don't mean much. Cleveland is a better-coached team with better execution on both sides of the ball. The Browns have monsters on their defensive front that will live in the Broncos' backfield.

While it isn't Halloween just yet, this game is the most terrifying thing for the Broncos this year. After Denver falls, it'll make sweeping changes to the coaches that are calling plays, as well as some personnel shuffling during their day mini-bye between games. Denver continues its trend of notching a pair of garbage time touchdowns, making the game look closer than it was in reality. Top Stories. SI TIX. Home Denver Broncos News.
