Pat Shurmur held one of his famous press conferences at the NFL
combine on Thursday, you know one where he really doesn't say much but
still talks a lot. Shurmur said the Browns could talk trading up to
chase Robert Griffin III and he is even going to talk to Andrew Luck.
Tom Heckert wasn't in Indy, he is back in Cleveland Ill. Lets hope the
Browns do something worth while in this years draft, many think
Cleveland needs a quarterback.
This years we are going to see Luck and
Griffin in the draft. Indianapolis may pull a rabbit out of their hat
and not take Luck who knows what Jim Irsay is thinking or if he is even
capable of thinking with all the Peyton Manning drama on his mind.
Shurmur
went on to say the Browns could trade up draft picks, and talking to
Luck surprises me a bit. Does Shurmur really think the Browns can get
into a position to draft at number one? Does he think the Colts would
give it up? Who knows how Pat Shurmur thinks? I think the Browns should
be focused on play-makers. The Browns front office guys are in
Indianapolis to see guys like Robert Griffin III and Griffin already
said he isn't going to throw at the combine. Why the heck not? It is
easy, Griffin said he doesn't trust the receivers there.
Are you
kidding me, Griffin should throw the ball and if those guys drop it he
would be getting a preview of playing in Cleveland. What is RGIII going
to do if the Browns take him and he doesn't have any play makers to
throw to? Maybe RGIII can live through one season in the NFL without
throwing the football, can you imagine that? Then the Browns can go into
the 2013 draft and get him some play makers.
If RGIII doesn't trust the
receivers at the combine he is going to be on for a rude awakening once
he arrives in Cleveland, if he does come to Cleveland that is. I mean
come on, we had a guy drop six passes in one football game last season
for the Browns. The NFL should keep that stat, how many drops receivers
have. If The Browns just draft a guy like Griffin and don't add any play
makers to the teams roster, we could see the Cleveland Browns ruin
their 11th quarterback since coming back into the NFL in 1999.....

Plenty Of Off Season Chatter About The Peyton's Manning & Hillis
Written By Larry M. Glicken "LG"
The talk of the off season about the fate of the Peyton's has kept the presses busy this year. Whether it be Peyton Hillis from the Cleveland Browns or Peyton Manning from the Indianapolis Colts there have been rumors galore. In Manning's case the rumors have him going to almost every team in the NFL. In the case of Hillis there is lots of concern about him re-signing with the Cleveland Browns.
The only certainty this far into the off season is if your name is Peyton and you play in the National football league there is lots of concern as too where you're going to be playing this season. For the Browns fans re--signing Hillis is a top priority. In the case of Manning I'm sure the fans in Indy want him to return to the Colts. Jim Irsay has certainly put this on his back burner. There were suppose to be talks following the super bowl, how Irsay has put this off this far is anyone's guess.
For the Cleveland Browns, they have made the case they want to re-sign Hillis. The sticking point could very well be Hillis's agent thinking Hillis is worth much more than the Browns are willing to pay. There were rumors floating this past weekend saying the Browns and Hillis already had a verbal contract agreement. We still haven't had any confirmation of those yet.
One thing that is certain is the fact Peyton Hillis will be playing football somewhere. As far as Manning goes, who knows? Peyton Manning may be better off going into retirement. Hey there are only two guys in the Monday Night Football Booth, maybe they kept a spot open for the 4 time NFL MVP.

Bob DiBiasio Indians V.P. Says Pitching Staff Is Solid
Written By Larry M. Glicken "LG"
Bob DiBiasio Cleveland Indians V.P. of Public Affairs said in a interview today the Indians starting rotation is solid at least the first four starters anyway. Dibiasio also went on to say the they are especially excited about the Cleveland Indians Bull pen. Hey what else can we expect Dibiasio to say on the first day of spring training. Today the Indians pitchers and catchers reported to Goodyear Arizona.
The Cleveland Indians bull pen was very dependable for the most part last season. The Tribe and Dibiasio have good reason to have high expectations from their bull pen "Mafia". Guys like Vinny Pestano who set things up nicely last season return this season with hopes of picking up where they left off. The Tribe could use a solid year from starter Ubaldo Jimenez this season. Lets not forget when Fausto Carmona was detained for an identity issue, the Indians lost 200 innings of pitching. If Jimenez can find his mechanics this season he could be as valuable to the Indians as Justin Verlander is to the Detroit Tigers. When Jimenez is on the guy is UN-hittable. Tribe manger Manny Acta would like nothing better than Jimenez finding his form.
As the Tribe start working out their pitchers and catchers this week there is still a coupe of unanswered questions. Who will be the Indians starters on the corners this season? Over at third base the Indians have a little competition between Jack Hannahan who is defensively solid and Lonnie Chisenhall who is offensively just as strong as Hannahan but lacks a little on the defensive side of ball.
The Indians may also have another decision to make as to who is on first. Last year we saw Carlos Santana split time with Matt Laporta. This season things could be a little different with the off season signing of Casey Kotchman. Matt Laporta could find himself on the short end of the stick. We will just have to wait and see what the Tribe decides to do on the corners. Nonetheless its good to see the Indians pitchers and catchers get back to work. It is a sure sign spring is on the way in Cleveland,Ohio....
