No kidding, cribbs is the play maker. I'd say he needs at least 5 touches a game minimum in addition to his kick returns. Get the ball in his hands and let's win some games. Go Browns.

<quoted text>the ravens got rid of him cause they thought his knee was bad, turned out that it needed to just be cleaned out so thats what the browns did. plus they thought mcgahee would've been a better back, boy were they wrong. lewis was also pissed cause his carries were down and thought they were'nt using him right. brian billick, thats all you have to here, offense guru, know thats funny. lewis likes it here and likes to run behind are line. i still think the guy has 4-6 years left with a good line. and with chuds offense its more of a pass happy o so it will prolong his time here. in baltimore all they did was run the ball and played great d. who know's i guess time will tell

<quoted text>i really think they are gonna throw the hell out of the ball this year. with winslow,edwards,jj,stallworth, and that new tight end they drafted, rucker the kid can play. there's aton of rumors floating around berea that cribbs is gonna get a lot of plays this year on o, but a lot of people don't know but the guy has severe asmatha and thats why sometimes you see him getting air on the sidelines after he runs one back. and look for them to use harrision a lot out of the backfield ot. should be intresting this year. a lot will depend on two things, are d-line and qb. if they cant get any push up front it will be a long year. and qb play. will it be good or bad d.a showing up. or the kid. who has all the talent in the world, just has to get out there and get reps

It was actually much simple than that. It was a disagreement in years and money. they were still trying to sign him when the Browns got him.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story...
" General manager Ozzie Newsome said the team still hoped to re-sign him.
The agent for the running back, Mitch Frankel, said Lewis' release wouldn't impede the negotiation process."

<quoted text>just a little info. are pathetic retread has 9,100 rushing yards in 8 years . your fat boy (bettis) has 13,662 over 13 years. i think lewis has a good chance of passing fat boy up. 1000 yards a season isn't much. 62 a game . and lewis can go at least 4 more. and he had years at baltimore were he didn't get that many carries. ouch that has to hurt. to think a retread might just pass your boy up.

Wont happen, there's no way Lewis has got 4 more in him. After he fell short of the rushing title it made him soft, hurt his little feelings it did!!! 2 years max, he's beat up.

You said they cant improve after college, jacka$$. Why dont ya pay attention to what you write, shmuck!!

killer wrote:

<quoted text>what i meant is. they have to get smarter and learn a completly new system than college. so yes they will improve. but as far as physically no. like i said earlier if its so easy then why aint every wr after college running in the 4.0 range and lineman in the 4.8. there form and blocking and route running can improve but you cant teach speed and you can only get so strong. if you play football for 13 to 14 years and just got drafted you pretty much have tryed every workout and routine out there. your pretty much toped out, unless your juicing, then its a different ballgame. and we know how your steeler players love to juice. i know a couple of people that played in div 1 and one or two that went pro but played a year or two and they all say the same thing, so its not like im making this up. you just dont understand. hell the one div 1 program spent 250,000 a year just on weight gain shakes just for football program. so dont sit here and tell me that its so easy and everybody can do it. maybe-maybe a slim percent can and thats it

<quoted text>yeah, okay. he really ran like he was beat up last year. give me a break, you really cant watch a football game and process information can you. face it. your just pissed that fat boy might get beat out. bettis took more punishment than lewis has at this point in his career.

Hey I like Lewis too an all, and I'm the biggest browns fan around.But even though I hated Bettis you gotta admit he's a way better back than Lewis. I mean it aint like the Ravens wanted to keep him. I didn't see the Steelers dumping Bettis. I mean Lewis had a good year with us and all but why did the Ravens want to get rid of him. I'll bet he won't have as good a year as he had last year. Just my opinion.

We are just gonna have to agree to disagree I guess, hoss! The trainers and programs in the NFL are much better than college level.

This dude chucklehead is no athlete and knows nothing about training the body. Most athletes when they enter the pros are around 22 years old. They can not only get stronger and faster but also heavier. Men start adding muscle in their mid teens. By age 22 they have been adding muscle and weight for ~6 years. You have to assume that most of these athletes have not been under the direct supervision of the best strength trainers. When they get to NFL they improve not just in strength but also technique. They can get faster and stronger as a result. Chucklehead has probably never lifted a weight or run windsprints in his adult life.(unless you count 12oz curls and sprinting to the bathroom to pee during commercial breaks....

You know I was talking to a boxing coach the other day and he said that a boxer reaches his coordinational peak at about 27, he said it was true with all athletes.
