I love Winslow’s attitude. The Browns need more of it. He is arrogant and brash, but also works his ass off to prove himself and back up his words because he is so prideful. We need more guys like that.

Agreed, Winslow was great last year, and I get him on my Madden team every year (I do the fantasy draft). But until last year Cleveland really struggled offensively and I still feel like he’s in the wrong system. He needs to be in Indy. He would be much better than Dallas Clark is, and that’s not saying anything bad about Clark, just that Winslow is a ridiculous athlete for his size, and Manning would have a heyday. I think Winslow does have a little bit of an attitude, but I think that’s what happens when guys leave the U. They are so used to being surrounded with tons of talent and can’t understand why others on their team can’s make plays on their own.

Kellen Winslow was outstanding last year. He made the Pro Bowl, but I don’t think his efforts and superb play were properly appreciated throughout the league. It is absolutely imperative that the Browns get him even more involved, assuming he comes back healthy from the illness.

I was ready to throw in the towel on D.A. and throw Brady Quinn in there after the first half against the Bengals. But Derek showed some resiliency in the second half (it was the Bengals, I know…but still) and at least for that one half confirmed the coaching staff’s commitment to him was a good choice. I’d say keep DA on a short leash, and if he reverts back to how played against Baltimore we have to put Brady in there to get a spark. But if Stallworth comes back and we can reintroduce the downfield passing game into the offense, DA fits better at QB. If we have to keep throwing over the middle and going short, it makes more sense for Brady to play because he’s just better at that part of the game.

You know what they should do? Fuse the two of them together and create a super quarterback. He could be a 6′5 and chiseled from stone with ridiculous abs and biceps the size of Jamal Lewis’ calves. His name could be Brady Anderson and he could come out of nowhere to throw 51 TDs in a season and then…wait a minute. Damnit. Never mind.

Why the hell would Williams run his mouth, especially about Brandon Jacobs? Did he not see Jacobs snot-bubble Laron Landry? I mean, Landry is no slouch, that dude can bring the wood, but Jacobs made it look like he was playing in the back yard with his physically disabled cousin. Ouch.

And while Stallworth has some wheels, I have to say that having him on the roster is nearly pointless. So what if he plays a few games? Then that means you just overpaid for three games worth of contributions from a slightly above average receiver. Good sign Browns!

Oh, I just heard that Kellen Winslow has been hospitalized for this mystery illness. He is going to be released this afternoon, and the Browns are saying that he is 50-50 for this weekend’s game against the Giants. Not good. I’ve always liked Winslow, since he did go to the U (Love the Canes!!), but I must say I’ve been a little disappointed with his career to this point. It’s not all his fault, I mean, he does play for the Browns. It’s kind of hard to show how good you are when you have noone to throw it to you, and no form of defense to keep your offense on the field. Look at Andre Johnson. The dude is one of the baddest receivers in the league, but he has a zero chance of success as long as he is playing in the purgatory known as Houston. He has missed his share of games, but I can’t imagine anyone trying to play through pain if they have no chance of winning.

I think the Browns have a chance for success if they can put all that talent on the field at the same time and actually play hard. They had some success on the offensive side of the ball last year, but have struggled to show some continuity in this year’s games. Couldn’t tell you why. I hate to say this, because I hate all things Notre Dame, but why not give Brady Quinn a start and see what happens? He looked great in the preseason, and seems like more of a leader and game manager than Anderson. I think the Browns need to learn how to win a few drag it out tooth-and-nail style to give themselves some confidence, and Quinn might be the guy to turn to. He’s a tough guy, and he seems eager to work hard to be all he can be. Ugh, man, can’t believe I’m saying this stuff. I’m gonna go brush my teeth with Drano, be back in a bit…
