Mr. T Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Barton may be done for the year, Yikes!!! Updated: November 3, 2009, 11:43 AM ET Source: Barton told he has bulging disc ESPN.com Cleveland Browns veteran linebacker Eric Barton's season is in jeopardy after he was diagnosed with a neck injury following Sunday's game, a source close to the player told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. Barton was informed by a spine specialist at The Cleveland Clinic that he had a bulging disc between the C3 and C4 vertebrae, the source told Mortensen. When Barton left Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears late in the second quarter, it was reported as a right shoulder injury. Barton was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Browns in March. He spent the previous six years with the Jets after beginning his career with the Raiders in 1999. Meanwhile, in their first move after general manager George Kokinis's ouster, the Browns released kicker Billy Cundiff on Tuesday, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The move indicates that kicker Phil Dawson, who was active for Sunday's loss to the Bears, is fully recovered from a calf injury. Without Kokinis, Browns vice president of football administration Dawn Aponte made the call to Cundiff to inform him that he was being released. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4619119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporTrail Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I loved the play where Barton was in position for a pick, staring at the ball, but didn't put his arms up, and it barely missed his head and led to like a 20 yard completion or TD.

You saw that too? Ya I really don't care that this guy wont play. I don't want to see him hurt but he really is no big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl34 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would question if he's only out for a season. A neck injury in any football player always carries a possible threat to their career. Barton is on the downside of his but I do wonder if he'll be able to play again.

lambdo Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Guess I am not the only one wanting to remove the "Yikes" from the subject? Barton may be done for the year Yikes!!!! I like what Coleman has done coming over from NY, but Barton and Bowens have been gross this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I would imagine we will see a bunch of special teamers in there to replace Barton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The sad thing is, Barton and Bowens were actual improvements over what we had. And they are still terrible. I like them, they could be the quintessential washed-up, veteran backups that pass on their wisdom to the young rookie(s) with tremendous raw talent but little football knowledge.

Mr. T Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Let the rooks fly around and learn from their mistakes, atleast they will knock the crap out of the Ravens! Why do we have to watch ACC football every Thursday Nite? Why!!!!! they Suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I don't know, I often wonder that myself sometimes. ACC Football makes me want to do two things- sleep (because of the lack of...well... anything) and cry (because of Butch Davis). The only ACC team I even pretend to like is the Hokies, and they are really pissing me off this year. The only reason I watch them play is so I can say "See number 51 down there? Yeah, I laid him out repeatedly over the course of three years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 For some reason, I knew that's where you would be. Anytime somebody says they are an hour way from the dirty Myrtle, they are always in Wilmington. I love the campus at UNCW, I would have gone there if they had a football team. I used to go up to Wrightsville to surf with my friends when we were in high school, and we would make road trips just to go to Jungle Rapids Lazer Tag/Water Park/Arcade/ Go Karts/Everything fun.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, it's alright here. It is a great vacation spot, but jobs are so hard to come by that I'm contemplating moving to Columbia and transferring to USC. The Breakers is a really nice place, enjoy it. And enjoy the golf courses, lord knows we have enough of them to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELandMILIDH Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Benard promoted to active roster Zac Jackson, Staff Writer 11.09.2009 The Browns have elevated undrafted rookie LB Marcus Benard from the practice squad to the active roster. A defensive end at Jackson State, Benard made a splash in the Browns' preseason opener at Green Bay in August. He was released in early September as the Browns shaped their regular-season roster and re-signed to the practice squad. His move to the active roster was announced Monday morning as the Browns returned from a long bye weekend and began preparations for next Monday's game with the Ravens. Browns Head Coach Eric Mangini said Benard will play outside and David Veikune will continue to play inside, allowing both rookies the opportunity to concentrate on one spot. QUICK HITS: Mangini said he'll announce his decision on the starting quarterback Wednesday...The Browns still have one open spot on the active roster. Mangini said the Browns will hold workouts for some free agents on Tuesday...Mangini said he'll know more on the status of injured linebacker Eric Barton either later today or tomorrow.
