State of the Browns: some concerns going in to Jacksonville.

First off: Josh Cribbs is probably out this weekend. He dislocated four toes (that's right, FOUR) on his right foot, and Cleveland has already signed a return man to fill that role. It's not like Cleveland has a plethora of eligible WR's. Cribbs says that he intends to play against the Jags this weekend, but "Come On, Man!"

Second: Scott Fujita could miss some games with a left knee ligament issue. Scott has been having a very good year leading this Browns defense, so the Browns could be losing his leadership/toughness on the field for a few games or so.

Third: Sheldon Brown is scheduled to have an MRI on his shoulder, after hurting it on Sunday against the Jets. This could be a huge gut check for a secondary that has been playing better over the past few weeks, but is far from stellar. No Sheldon=more Wright, and that scares me just thinking about it, especially with the way that David Garrard has been playing. (Side note: is Al Harris still available?).

Last: Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace are said to be healthy for this weekend's game. If Mangini is smart he will be glad that they are healthy, but start Colt; but if he wants to have a civil uprising in Cleveland, then he will start one of the other two QBs on the roster. IMO, Colt has more than earned the starting job for the rest of the year.

Cleveland could have their hands full going into Jacksonville. David Garrard is playing really good football, and his young WR corp are making plays. Oh, and they have a pretty good running back there, too: MJD. I'll be there, at EverBank Stadium on Sunday, cheering my butt off in the endzone and hopefully watching the Browns dominate...but I'll settle for any kind of win.

Go Browns!

They got my boy Colt McCoy, they'll be fine.

Hey, Rocker. Nice to see ya! I got a feeling that Hillis is going to be one tired dude after this game...wonder how long he can keep carrying the team?

Jacksonville is the most bi-polar team in the league. They can play like they're one of the best and can play like they're one of the worst. Their secondary is pretty awful, so Colt should have a solid day.

I hope that you're right...Cleveland's WRs are gonna have to step it up though...I might have to call Mangini tonight and try to get some answers, make some suggestions...restraining orders only apply on proximity, and not phone calls, right?

Yeah, Mangini would be crazy not to hand the reins to Colt this week. He has more than earned it. I must say, I am so impressed by this team this year. Just can't understand how they don't have a better record. Eric Wright? Well, against the Ravens, anyway. i guess it's another reason each week, like the Chargers. But this team looks to be headed in the right direction, and they can beat ANYONE on a given day. And it wouldn't be a fluke. Good luck this week, LCBF. Jacksonville's pretty tough at home sometimes, but they are also Jekyll and Hyde-like. You never know what you're gonna get - same with the Browns, so should be interesting. I think the Jags can be had.

Thx for the vote of confidence ripper! Good to see ya as well. I can't quite put my finger on what "it" is that Cleveland has against them that keeps them from pulling through week to week. I thought it was Wright this year, but he's played well over the past few weeks. Coaching could be part of it, especially late in a close game (play clock). But it is such a breath of fresh air knowing that there is hope for this team week in and week out...I don't think that I made it past the 2nd-3rd quarter of a Browns game at this point last year.

Looks like your Chargers are about ready to have a healthier squad of WRs with Floyd back this week, and V-Jax coming back next week....Rivers could put that exclamation point on his MVP candidacy with those two back in the mix.
