The one for the Browns is !@#$ing hilarious. "I do these previews every year, and frankly I’m just wasting my time with the other 31 teams. The Browns are the original suck. They are the epicenter of suck."

Look forward to this every year.

Wow, this is cool.

I can't find anything scientific or analytic about that. Sounds to me like someone eyeballing Murray's workouts, and claiming success when it happened to work in his favor.

I, for one, loved this.

May very well be. That would be more sensitive than a hernia, I'd guess.

Man, this is ridiculous.

Sounds like more than a sports hernia to me.

Oh for God's sake, can't people around here just grow up for a change?

I do get the sense that the team is leaning towards (hoping for?) Tyrod to excel in practices and the game this week, which would make their decision easier. That said, I also think there is definitely a realistic chance that it goes the other way. If TT struggles (as he did today), doesn't play very well in Thursday's game, and then EJ is actually given a week's turn with the 1s for the following game and does reasonably well....

HIPAA.

But it went into the hospitality tent. The hospitality tent, for the love of all that is holy!!

Seems like a perfect backup/rotational guy to me.

Can't. Season can't start until we pick a starting QB.

Says you.

I think there should be a policy to not post any tweets from Rodhack. Just on principle.

Different positions, I think. Powell was the main backup for the ILB spot, IK is backing up the OLB/DE spot.

Man, that Powell injury really bums me out.

Vic Carucci @viccarucci LB Ty Powell is down being tended to by trainers. Holding right knee. Being carted off. #Bills-#Browns

Brian Galliford @BrianGalliford Ty Powell down on the ground... holding his leg. Visibly upset. Practice stopped dead right now John Wawrow @john_wawrow #Bills LB Powell down. In great pain. Paul Hamilton @pham1717 Trainers tending to right leg of Powell who's in a lot of pain. Drill moves up field he stays down. Brian Galliford @BrianGalliford Powell is about to be carted off

I've been hoping for EJ to pull it out this camp, but the more I hear from the reporters and from Rex's mouth, it really does seem like the coaches are trying to decide between Cassel and Tyrod. I think Rex really, really wants Tyrod to be the guy. Right or wrong, fair or unfair, it seems to be moving in this direction. Now, if after Thursday the team says EJ will play with the 1s in the third preseason game, then I'll think differently. But I don't see that happening.

The nice thing is, if Sammy gets shut down, then there are so many more options...Harvin, Woods, Clay, Shady out of the backfield...even Goodwin sprinkled in for a few deep routes...

I poseted this a few months ago, but since somebody brought this up, it bears repeating. This past holiday season, my mother-in-law (who lives in Illinois) was asking if there were any particular gifts I was interested in. I thought that was really nice of her, and I figured it would be reasonable to suggest a Sabres t-shirt from the online store, since I didn't have one. So I picked out three different ones, emailed her with the web links to all three numbered #1, #2, and #3, and said I'd be interested in any of them, but the one I liked most was #2. Despite me thinking this was pretty simple and explicit (pick one, click the link, you're done), somehow my mother-in-law only chose to read a few select words from the email and had it in her mind, for some reason, that I would only be interested in Buffalo Bills gear, completely ignoring whoever these "Sabres" are. And links? What links? She figured I must be talking about a Buffalo Bills jersey, and I mentioned the #2, so that must be what I want. So yeah, I opened up the gift weeks later to reveal a brand new Dan Carpenter #2 Buffalo Bills jersey. It took me a while to figure out what was going on and why I was staring at a kicker's jersey, but once we pieced it together it was hilarious. We still get a big laugh out of it. I'm wondering if I'm the only one with a Carpenter jersey. I wonder if someone told Dan that somebody bought his jersey. Either way, I can't wait to wear it to a game. ...and yes, I'll be wearing it to the home opener.

Tough to get too upset with rushing for over 200 yards in a preseason game. What was it at halftime, like 125 yards rushing for us and 3 for them? That's how you win games.

Well this thread took an ugly turn there, didn't it.
