Cleveland Browns Bring In Thomas Clayton at R.B. Why?

Found November 03, 2011 on Cleveland Sports 360: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Thomas Clayton,  Mike Holmgren
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Seattle Seahawks

Denver_broncos_v_ac06
The Cleveland Browns front office must be resigned to a losing season, why bring Thomas to Cleveland?  This guy has been all team rosters and never has he made any serous impact in the N.F.L.  Thomas Clayton isn’t going to help sell tickets at browns stadium. This guy couldn’t even make the Seattle Seahawks team rosters. He has a total of 17 rushing yards in the N.F.L. when he played for the Patriots for a short lived career there. Are you telling me this is the best guy Mike Holmgren and Heckert could have gotten? The Cleveland Browns must be out of their minds going out and signing a guy like Clayton. He has a few days to learn the offense which looks like the team doesn’t even know yet and then Shurmur sends him out on the field to do what? What is Thomas Clayton going to do to help the Browns win football games? Is this guy filled with hidden talents all the other teams in the N.F.L. missed? The Browns made a serous mistake signing this guy. Is there no one who...

Browns Say Goodbye to Brian Robiskie

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  November 02, 2011
Yesterday the Browns cut bait with yet another second-rounder from the 2009 NFL draft.  First it was #52 overall David Veikune after he was beaten out by undrafted player, Marcus Benard.  Now Brian Robiskie.  The 36th overall pick was cut loose after a pretty disappointing career in Cleveland for a guy who was thought to be one of the more “NFL ready” prospects in...

How Much Longer Until Browns RB Peyton Hillis Officially Gets Labeled With the Madden Curse?

Via Rant Sports  |  November 04, 2011
This year, the folks at EA Sports decided to change things up a bit by allowing the fans vote for which player they wanted to see on the cover of Madden 12–which ended up being Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis. It was debatable whether or not Hillis deserved to be on the cover after just one impressive season in 2010 and now–the former Arkansas star appears...

Browns release Brian Robiske

Via Cleveland ScoresReport  |  November 02, 2011
The Cleveland Browns released Brian Robiskie yesterday when they needed a roster spot for another running back after injuries to Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty. Many of us were rooting for Robiskie since the Browns drafted him out of Ohio State. That said, Eric Mangini and George Kokinis were crazy to draft him at the top of the second round in their disastrous 2009 draft. ...

How to Fix the Cleveland Browns

Via NBC Bay Area  |  November 02, 2011
This season marks the thirteenth straight year that the Cleveland Browns have been a virtual nonentity in the NFL. And leave it to the Browns to screw it up and win three whole games when they desperately need to lose every possible game in order to secure the likes of Andrew Luck in the draft. The Browns aren't going to get Luck, nor will they get Landry Jones, and that about...

Peyton Hillis Reportedly a No-Show for Boys and Girls Club Charity Event

While there has been little detail revealed about the situation between Peyton Hillis and the Cleveland Browns, it’s pretty obvious the relationship is not a pleasant one.  Hillis had a monster year for the Browns in 2010, but the team clearly does not value him enough to offer him a lucrative extension.  It would also [...]

Hillis has nine games to make things right

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  November 03, 2011
Peyton Hillis said many of the right things Thursday when he spoke to the media. He gave his best humble speech, talked of learning, talked of not wanting to let anyone down, talked of not being able to describe things that happen behind the scenes. Perhaps the most important thing he said, though, was that he was able to make it through Thursdays practice and he was pointing toward...

Cleveland Browns No Running Game McCoy Sacks Reason Why No Lawrence Vickers

Via Cleveland Sports 360  |  November 02, 2011
Lawrence Vickers brought something to the Cleveland Browns that is missing this year, Vickers brought his toughness to open up holes Hillis could burst through and Vickers could pass block too. The Browns have no one on this team that plays the game the way Vickers played. Sure some are thinking why is Vickers occupying a spot on the Houston bench if he is that kind of player. ...
