damajuki Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Didn't see this anywhere yet. Transcript of Mangini mini-camp presser LOVE this part: (On if Jim Brown will speak to the rookies) - "He didn't speak to them today, but tomorrow night both Jim and Paul (Warfield) will talk to the group. I don't think these guys have any idea how unique that is. They have no idea. They'll probably realize it at some point in their life, but they have no idea. They'll both speak to the group tomorrow night as part of our, not a rookie night, it's part of the rest of the evening with the meetings and things, but a little bit different. Just focusing more on the history of the organization, we are giving them an introduction to that. We'll have a couple of players speak as well to talk about their experiences and it's a great night. It's one of my favorite nights of the year, just because it is football, but it's more about the spirit of football. Why we play football, appreciating all the people who have come before them and then to have that type of speaker line-up is pretty good." Guys, seriously, we might -- maybe, just maybe -- have a coach that actually gets the Cleveland Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 88fingerslewy Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Last year after the NYG game I was walking behind the dawg pound exiting the stadium. My buddy turns to me and says,"can you hear that?" It was the sound of hundreds of strangers high-fiving each other as they walked past each other and exited the stadium. Awesome sound and a sight to behold. What a great game. Mangini's gonna make that sound happen a lot next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicksilvy Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 My favorite part of the presser: (On the drill performed at practice) - "That's a tackling drill that we will do it pretty close to everyday during training camp. That's one of those things where people get to pro football and a lot of people think, 'I've tackled a thousand times or I've done this a million times, I'm a great tackler.' But there are a lot of things that you can teach them on that drill. It's straight ahead, we have another one that's an angle tackling drill, and we use that to teach the runners how to run better, to teach the tacklers how to take better angles. It's one-on-one, it's not contact now, but there will be times during camp where it will be full contact or live. But it's a skill like anything else, blocking, tackling, catching the football and we want to keep repping that fundamental to make sure that we can minimize the amount of missed tackles, and then also teach our guys the best way to run with the football and isolate that skill set and help them." I'd sure love to see some real tackles getting made, no more of this arm tackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gips Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Nothing not to like mangini has presence on the field the kind that builds and maintains a winning team...im really looking forward to preseason and beyond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian DawgPound Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 All we have to do is give this guy time to work. We've got to approach this season as if we were used to have winning records through the years. Don't put too much pressure on the man. Let's judge based on facts and not opinions! GO BROWNS!

YtownBrownsBacker Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Man, this is some change from all the Mangini hate that was seen on this site from Jan to March. He was touted as the biggest mistake ever. An asshole for how he treated players in NY and a personal jerk. Since there has been a steady flow of those players who hated him and he is no longer an asshole for ignoring Rogers and not kissing asses of others....................Maybe it's time to realize he is a good football coach and has assembled a good coaching staff, os let's get ready to watch a well disciplined team play some football.

The Irishman Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Did you also hear the part of his presser which stated that if a player commits a penalty or drops a pass they have to run a lap? I love it! Looks like Braylon better start catching the ball or he's going to be running marathons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 88fingerslewy Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Tackling drills....I love it. I'm sure once EM came to Cleveland he was in the "What do we have" mode. He probably watched days and days of film. And you guys all remember the run in Buffalo where Lynch (I think?) ran through just about every one of our (arm-tacklers) guys and scored. Plays like those embarass not only the guys on the field but the rest of the team AND the fans. I don't care if we don't have marquee players on defense....I want a defense that wants to punch someone in the face. Having all 11 guys with a bad attitude is better than a handful of 1st rounders. This coach knows what he wants. EM doesn't say much. I don't care. Do what you need to do. Just get the boys ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I think Mangini's history with the Browns will be a big factor in doing what he can to make sure the players on this team understand the history of the franchise. And not only understand the history, but to embrace the history and what this team means to the fans and to the city. The coach has to understand all of that to be successful. How Romeo's team could show up as unprepared as they did to play Pittsburgh several times is unacceptable. I don't think that Mangini will allow that to happen as long as he is the coach of the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Nice presser...................... But did you guys really think Mangini is going to say "Hey this team Sucks, send me back to NY" Lets just wait for the season and see what kind of change Mangini and the players (most importantly I feel) have made.

I'd sure love to see some real tackles getting made, no more of this arm tackling. I was pleased with the hiring of Mangini, Kokinis, & the staff (read management TEAM) put together. I have always been so disgusted with coaches who seem to ASSUME that players in the NFL know fundamentals. It's fantastic to see a Coach who stresses fundamentals...you just CANNOT afford to let those slip. We all know how important solid tackling & blocking are. I am very excited, but I do NOT expect instant miracles. I DO expect to see players playing all out. There will be no "taking plays off" with Mangini or his staff. I envision good, aggressive football on both sides of the ball. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
