Packers face Browns, new wind patterns at Lambeau

Posted August 15, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mason Crosby,  Tim Masthay
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Green Bay Packers
Mike McCarthy and his assistants have plenty of young players to watch in the Green Bay Packers' preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. They'll also be monitoring another relative unknown: The changing wind patterns at Lambeau Field. In the middle of a major expansion project, Lambeau has sprouted a massive superstructure with a giant video board in the south end zone. McCarthy says kicker Mason Crosby, punter Tim Masthay and special teams coach Shawn Slocum have been monitoring how the construction will reshape the wind and change the kicking game.

Montario Hardesty: Something to Prove

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  August 15, 2012
Six days. That’s how long the Browns have in between their first preseason game last Friday, and the second contest Thursday in Green Bay. For a number of Browns (and their fans) that six days probably seems like an eternity. Quarterback Brandon Weeden is in that group, anxious to put his first performance in the rear view mirror. Weeden could silence (for a while anyways) a lot...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Preseason or not, NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers' first-team offense has hardly looked like the group that led the NFL in scoring last season.In six drives so far through two games, including the Packers' 35-10 loss Thursday night at home to the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay's starters have produced only seven total points with one interception...

Green Bay Packers extend G TJ Lang

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  August 15, 2012
I don’t normally criticize things the Packers do, but this really seems like the Packers are buying high. Lang only has one year of starting experience and it’s not like he was an elite guard or anything last year. Making 15 starts, including playoffs, he graded out as ProFootballFocus’ 19th ranked guard. He’s better in pass protection, where he ranked 6th at his position...

Browns rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden had an improved performance Thursday in his second preseason game, going 12-of-20 for 118 yards.Fantasy Spin:Weeden is a fringe No. 2 QB at this point but his presence may make a Cleveland Browns receiver ownable for the first time since Braylon Edwards was with the team. Plus, he figures to keep defenses from playing eight men in the box...

Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi returned to practice Tuesday and reiterated that he did not suffer a concussion in Friday's exhibition opener in Detroit against the Lions.

Packers didn’t have a running back that could handle the blitz

Via Pro Football Zone  |  August 14, 2012
AP Photo One of the most important skills that an NFL running back must learn is how to pass protect and pick up the blitz in order to keep their quarterback upright. The reason the Green Bay Packers ended up having to sign free agent Cedric Benson is because it became clear to them that James Starks wasn’t going to give them much more in terms of on the field production and he...

As resident old-timer, it was my pleasure to attend the Cleveland Touchdown Club’s charity event Monday night, featuring the photography of Jerry Sherk. For those who may not be familiar with the name, Sherk was a DT for the Browns from 1970-1981. He was a good one too. In 1977, Sherk had a knee injury that kept him off the field.
