Mr. T Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Browns signed CB Anthony Madison. Madison will be an asset on special teams where he led the Steelers in tackles last season. He'll replace Marquis Floyd on the roster. Browns signed free agent CB/special teams ace Anthony Madison today. Was one of the better special teams players in the NFL last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 He led the stoolers in special teams tackles last season, even with his job in jeopardy he took time off during training camp to attend to his fathers funeral. My take is he never caught up when it was time to make final cuts. Hopefully he will be renewed with the Browns and take it out on the stoolers when we see them.

I like him already if he chose his fathers funeral over his career. Seems like a no brainer top me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I hope he gets it back together emotionally, after loosing a parent it is always hard. Ive been there, that reminds me to take out the new flowers for dad. I think this will be a positive move for us.

Mr. T Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 He can join Hank Poteat on the, "Will not be on the 2010 Browns Roster" You will always have guys like that on the roster, just as long as they serve their purpose. Whats nice is they are hungry and will fight like animals knowing that their Pro career is shortening day by day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I told everybody how bad Poteat sucked when we signed him. He is a special team player only, has no business being involved in the nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Madison is a great special teams player. The only reason he was cut is beucase we signed him to a $1.5 Million a year salary this past offseason and he couldn't make any other contributions besides special teams. We brought in plenty of young talent in the draft who could also help at their real positions and have a lot of potential. We couldn't afford a roster spot and that salary for a player you just contributed on special teams even though he was our single best special teams player. Although, don't count him out in your secondery. Ours is one of the best and has tremendous depth, and well, you know yours. Once he learns the system he will likely be your dime or even nickel back. He will be a positive force on the field and help give your staff information on the Steelers. I also want to mention he is a class act. He would always sign autogrphs after trainng camp practices and attended most of our charitable events. He deserves a roster spot in the NFL, even if it has to be the Browns !

Mr. T Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 They are just covering their asses just in case their season goes in the crapper, 1-1 to start and ponytail boy/girl polomoluu is out and their #1 RB is banged up also. Watching some of the hi-lights the stoolers secondary looks weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thank you for the insight. Sounds like a solid pickup I try to bring helpful insight to this board, its just hard when every offseason post is a "BQ v. DA" on a thread. And if it didn't start out as one, it was one by the 5th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheJokersWILD Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hear you! I just found out yesterday that my 29 year old daughter has an aggressive form of thyroid cancer. So your statement touches me even more. My sister was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 2 months ago and they have removed part of it. She is going to have to have the rest of it removed and she is going to have to be on medication for the rest of her life. Hang in there Dan.

Guest TheJokersWILD Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Also Dan, I don't know what your daughter's situation is but I have heard that it is a common procedure to have the thyroid removed and relatively low risk. I hope it can be corrected by surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it can be corrected by surgery. Thanks, Actually, she is probably going to tell them to remove it completely. They will do pathology on it right this and also check her lynth noids to make sure it's not spreading. She is taking it in stride, it's me (and her mom) that are sweating it out.
