The New York Jets visit the Cincinnati Bengals in a wild card round playoff game on Saturday.

 

Apparently buoyed by his team's success, regardless of how much he has contributed to it, Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards is using the spotlight to criticize his former team, the Cleveland Browns.

 

Edwards, whose Hall of Fame credentials include league leadership in dropped passes in 2008, was traded by the Browns to the Jets on Oct. 7.

 

Edwards, noted for talent that was more than offset by poor hands and by character issues, makes comments about the Browns in a story by Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports.

 

Among his comments, Edwards compares playing for the Jets to playing for the Browns:

 

“Here, they’re committed to winning football games and everything else is secondary. They don’t worry about petty things here at the Jets organization,” said Edwards, whose squad faces the Bengals again in Saturday’s AFC wild-card matchup. “Everything is built around winning and forget everything else. Over there, everything is petty, worried about the wrong thing – what a guy is saying, what a guy is making. There’s just too much foolishness over there and too many people there who are still worried about the wrong thing.”

A few - probably not all - of the excuses he has for being a negative-impact player for much of his Browns career:

 

“It’s just inconsistency, frustration, losing confidence, the whole nine yards. When you’re supposed to be this big-name receiver and you’re only getting two or three balls a game and you’re losing, it frustrates you,” Edwards acknowledged. “Then everybody talks about how you’re going to get the ball, then you don’t get balls, then you’re playing with different quarterbacks all the time.

 

 

“I had four quarterbacks last year. We had Josh Cribbs playing quarterback at one point last year. Then you have guys who don’t know what they’re doing. Everybody talks about Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne being these great receivers, but their systems are consistent and their offensive coordinators know what they’re doing. They get these guys the ball. Twelve passes a game versus two.”

 

And, there's some more gems about the Browns from one of pro football's most humble, grateful and team-oriented players. It seems he would be thinking about other matters.

That sound you hear is gasoline being poured onto the fire that is the rift between BE and the city of Cleveland.

 

Hey, Braylon, I've got news for you. Nobody misses you here. Nobody.

 

Also, Superstar, you claim that the Browns are concerned with things other than winning? Talk about the pot and the kettle. You, not Mangini, consistently broke team rules. You, not Mangini, dicked around in your socks after a training camp practice. You, not Mangini, whined about the fans booing you. You, not Mangini, called Cleveland 'the pits." You, not Mangini, punched a 15-year old kid just hours after going catchless against the Bengals. You, not Mangini, failed to win in your time here this year. You, not Mangini, are the POS who proves he is a fool every time he opens his big mouth.

 

With all the bullsh*t Mangini was put through this year, did you ever ONCE see him take shots at the organization, the fans, or the city? No. Want to know why? He's a man, not a petty, little whiny b*tch.

 

Braylon, please, pretty please, re-sign with the Jets so we can get a chance to boo you again as soon as possible. You are what you are: an average receiver with an overblown sense of entitlement and a lack of awareness about your epic amount of suck.

here's the entire article that the quotes came from. be is a bigger d-bag than i thought he was.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – As wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery(notes) ran into the end zone Sunday night during the New York Jets’ 37-0 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, Braylon Edwards(notes) was right there enjoying the most exuberant moment of his five-year career.

 

 

Edwards was also right there blocking along the way until he could start jumping for joy. Edwards was giving the kind of quiet effort that eventually turns good teams to great and turns dreary careers into something worth remembering.

 

 

“That was such a great block and he held that for a good, long time,” Cotchery said of the sequence that put the Jets up 24-0 and essentially sealed the team’s playoff berth. “When I finally saw him in the end zone, he was just smiling so big, like he’d been waiting for this for a long time.”

 

 

Edwards, the third overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft, has gone from years of struggling with the Cleveland Browns to reaching the postseason after arriving in New York via an October trade. It was previously unimaginable to Edwards, who did his best to go along with a counterproductive program in Cleveland.

 

 

“Here, they’re committed to winning football games and everything else is secondary. They don’t worry about petty things here at the Jets organization,” said Edwards, whose squad faces the Bengals again in Saturday’s AFC wild-card matchup. “Everything is built around winning and forget everything else. Over there, everything is petty, worried about the wrong thing – what a guy is saying, what a guy is making. There’s just too much foolishness over there and too many people there who are still worried about the wrong thing.”

 

 

Edwards isn’t speaking from a statistical approach. In his 12 games with the Jets, he has caught only 35 passes for 541 yards, a small percentage of what some people believe he’s capable of doing.

 

 

While many people around the NFL have considered Edwards a diva concerned with his own numbers, his joy of finally getting to the postseason reflects a different vision.

 

 

Edwards is on the top rushing and defensive (scoring and total yards) team in the league – a team hell-bent on protecting rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez(notes) from his own mistakes – and it’s really all good.

 

 

“With what he’s been through, to come here and make the playoffs, we had a nice embrace after the game was over and he was really excited,” said Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. “A credit to him has been: We’re not having gaudy numbers because we’re not throwing it all over the park, but you watch the guy block week in and week out and it’s a highlight reel of blocks.

 

 

“He’s just bought in and done a great job. I’m happy for him. He’s been a big part of what we’ve done in the running game because he’s playing split end and has to come down and dig out a lot of safeties. He’s a big part of what we’re trying to do.”

 

 

Fellow wide receiver David Clowney(notes) saw the joy continue well after the game.

 

 

“He was all over the locker [room], talking to guys, being so happy,” Clowney said. “We were all happy, but you could see it was just a little bigger for him.”

 

 

Jets defensive tackle Kris Jenkins(notes), who joined New York last year after some tumultuous seasons with the Carolina Panthers, understood exactly what Edwards was feeling.

 

 

“You’re getting this chance to wipe the slate clean and start everything over in your career,” Jenkins said. “When you first come to a team, it’s not really a clean slate. You still have that reputation about what happened in the other place. The media, the players, everybody knows it and you have to accept it.

 

 

“You have to realize the things you did in that old situation so that you can change it here. Braylon is out there, playing hard, doing whatever he can do to change whatever the perceptions were.”

 

 

In Cleveland, Edwards was part of what became constant rebuilding. He set the Cleveland team record for touchdown receptions (16) in 2007, when the team went 10-6 and missed the playoffs on the last day of the season. But the team regressed in ’08. Ultimately, general manager Phil Savage and head coach Romeo Crennel were fired, with Eric Mangini taking over as coach.

 

 

“[in 2007, we were] a surprise. We played a not-so-tough schedule, we were new, nobody had seen us, nobody knew what we were going to do, so we surprised some people,” Edwards said. “[in 2008], we had a lot of injuries and then we were on film. People got to see us, got to scout us, see what we would do and [offensive coordinator Rob Chudzynski] had no answer; he couldn’t make adjustments. That’s what happens in this league: If you can’t make adjustments, you’re going to get beat.”

 

 

From there, Edwards’ unhappiness made him look like a selfish malcontent.

 

 

“It’s just inconsistency, frustration, losing confidence, the whole nine yards. When you’re supposed to be this big-name receiver and you’re only getting two or three balls a game and you’re losing, it frustrates you,” Edwards acknowledged. “Then everybody talks about how you’re going to get the ball, then you don’t get balls, then you’re playing with different quarterbacks all the time.

 

 

“I had four quarterbacks last year. We had Josh Cribbs playing quarterback at one point last year. Then you have guys who don’t know what they’re doing. Everybody talks about Andre Johnson(notes), Reggie Wayne(notes) being these great receivers, but their systems are consistent and their offensive coordinators know what they’re doing. They get these guys the ball. Twelve passes a game versus two.”

 

 

It didn’t help matters that Edwards, who became plagued with a serious case of dropped balls, had no strong desire to play in Cleveland from the start.

 

 

“I wasn’t into being there. It was a situation where, what am I supposed to do?” the Detroit native and University of Michigan alum asked rhetorically. “What am I supposed to say? ‘Damn, I got drafted here and I don’t want to play here’? It was a situation where you play the [political] game. Nobody says they don’t want to get drafted somewhere, in a situation like that. Bernie Kosar was the only one.

 

 

Edwards’ assessment of the Browns quarterback situation is even bleaker. Asked if anyone could succeed at that spot in Cleveland, he said: “No, not at all. Brady Quinn(notes) and I are real good friends and I wish the best for him. But no.”

 

 

Even on a chilly day in New Jersey, Edwards was far more optimistic about his new situation.

 

 

“You look at what we have going here with [sanchez] and you really get the feeling that it’s going to turn out. We’re not there yet. … But I have a feeling it will be the case.”

Hey, BE/lockerroom cancer,

 

Have a nice day, and keep dropping passes and endearing yourself

 

to teams playing the Jets.

 

Oh, and please do steal another bottle of water from a hotel. That

 

should work the second time for ya. Really.

He's honestly making me root for the Bungles this Saturday lol.

That sound you hear is gasoline being poured onto the fire that is the rift between BE and the city of Cleveland.

 

Hey, Braylon, I've got news for you. Nobody misses you here. Nobody.

 

Also, Superstar, you claim that the Browns are concerned with things other than winning? Talk about the pot and the kettle. You, not Mangini, consistently broke team rules. You, not Mangini, dicked around in your socks after a training camp practice. You, not Mangini, whined about the fans booing you. You, not Mangini, called Cleveland 'the pits." You, not Mangini, punched a 15-year old kid just hours after going catchless against the Bengals. You, not Mangini, failed to win in your time here this year. You, not Mangini, are the POS who proves he is a fool every time he opens his big mouth.

 

With all the bullsh*t Mangini was put through this year, did you ever ONCE see him take shots at the organization, the fans, or the city? No. Want to know why? He's a man, not a petty, little whiny b*tch.

 

Braylon, please, pretty please, re-sign with the Jets so we can get a chance to boo you again as soon as possible. You are what you are: an average receiver with an overblown sense of entitlement and a lack of awareness about your epic amount of suck.

 

+1

 

yeah, the jets aren't concerned with all of the other things.............like discipline, accountability, responsibility and other core values that mangini laid down which lead to a team being a winning orginization.

 

be's vag is still sore from having to run laps for dropped passes and paying a fine for stealing bottles of water from a hotel. f*ck that overpaid, wr diva!

according to be, the jets aren't concerned with things like fining people for stealing bottled water from a hotel. if someone blasts him while he's trying catch a pass this weekend, i'll be one happy man.

[Mr. T]

The only thing I care about with BE is what pick will we get for rock fingers?

 

Is it a 2nd or a 3rd round pick that goes along with the 5th?

 

I consider it a bonus with who we allready got out of trade.

 

BE cannot even hold either one of these guys jock straps, Chansi Stuckey or Jason Trusnik.

Well said.

[beefjerky]

Who cares what he says, most Jets fans think he's a garbage receiver.

[ReginaBrownsFan]

Sounds like a man ready to drop some passes on the weekend

Hope the Bengals roll in the game.
