Koa Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 In the midst of Mary Kay branding Quinn as our starter, Bruce Drennan just asked Antoine Winfield via phone interview, "You guys were obviously prepping for Quinn anyway right?!" Well, the answer was somewhat amusing to me. Winfield admitted the Vikings have been spending practice time prepping for both just to be safe and now that Quinn's status has been released the focus will shift towards him the next two days. Even if that gave us an irrelevant amount of competitive advantage, it seems that our coach accomplished what was intended by withholding information. Kudos Mangini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefcake Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Or Winfield is lying. This NFL stuff is pretty cloak-and-dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koa Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Or Winfield is lying. This NFL stuff is pretty cloak-and-dagger. Quite possibly. All around it was a warm interview though considering Antoine was a childhood Browns fan and former Buckeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 All the Browns need to do is to win the game, and Mangini's move will look genius. But::no matter who the Browns QB was going to be, that QB wasn't going to play defense and try to tackle Adrian Peterson. You saw how Tennessee walked all over the Browns D with their running game. If the Browns lose it will be primarily attributable to their failing to stop the Vikings running game, nothing to do with the QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding TEN wallking all over the Browns D with their running game, I have to assume you are talking about last season. Because in the preseason game a few weeks ago, TEN's passing game is what walked all over the Browns, not the running game. But you are completely right. The game Sunday is going to be decided by CLE ability (or lack there of) to stop the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game Sunday is going to be decided by CLE ability (or lack there of) to stop the run. Actually I think you could say it about both games. Which game was it that they gave up over 100 yards to rookie Terrel Sutton in like a single half? Hopefully with Shaun Rogers back in the middle, and these JetBrowns at LB the run defense will be far improved. With the best runner in the NFL coming to town this week the proof will be in the puddin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the TEN preseason game, CLE didn't even give up 100 yards total on the ground. But it was preseason after all. This week is the real test, as you noted. Can't get much better of a bench mark game for CLE's run D this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Beanie Wells is from Garfield. There could be some good Akron area rookie running backs in the league this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
