And the hits just keep onnnn comin!

Please tell me other people are as worried as I am about that state of our offense right now.


The Wide Receiver/TE Situation:

With the possibility of Donte Stallworth facing vehicular manslaughter charges the Browns have been put into another tough situation on the offensive side of the ball. Who will be the guy to step in for Stallworth should jail time occur? Steptoe? Please God, no! Joe J? O yea,released. Hubbard? Jury is still out, but he is inexperienced. Atleast if Kellen was still here we would have someone else to take the load off Braylon. We might now have to draft a WR to with one of those 2nd rounders in order to fill the void on offense. Guys like Brian Robiskie and Kenny Britt have been possible names to fall to the Browns in the 2nd and would provide a much needed set of great hands. Or again, if we were to somehow land a 3rd, Ramses Barden the big sure handed receiver could also be an option. As for the TE situation, sure losing Kellen was unfortunate but we did get some value out of him and I dont think the guy is going to be able to hold his body together too much longer. The signing of Robert Royal gave us a reliable blocking TE that can only help us against teams like Baltimore and Pittsburgh picking up blitzing LBs and blocking for our new RB. Hopefully Rucker can turn back into the pass catcher he was in college.

The Running Back Situation:

It's no secret that the Browns will be looking for a RB at some point in this draft. Whether if it's Wells or Moreno in the first or guys like McCoy,Brown,or Greene in the 2nd. Maybe a guy like Rashad Jennings if we snag a 3rd somehow? Andre Brown in the 4th. We have options, but we know for sure that our running game needs to be upgraded for whoever is at QB to survive. Jamal needs help and that was evidence by his 3.6 YPC last season. Let's get someone else in there who can be just as,or more, effective while giving Jamal some time rest on the sidelines. Jamal could be our great 4th quarter clock eater if he had a young guy to help take the load off of him in the earlier parts of the game.

The Offensive Line Situation:

Im actually pretty happy with how our line is shaping up for the season. I wouldn't be surprised to see us grab an O linemen later in the draft but overall we should have some decent depth. The possible signing of John St. Clair (RT Bears) would really be a great addition to our power running game along with the signing of Floyd "Porkchop" Womack at Guard. As long as we have Joe T and Eric Steinbach on that left side our line should be solid for whoever starts at QB.

The Quarterback Situation:

I can't say that I'm thrilled with our QB situation right now, not being a Brady Quinn fan and all, but I do think that he could get the job done enough for us to win some games. I'm hoping we find a taker for Derek Anderson as soon as possible, becuase with all these extra needs popping up we need draft picks more than ever. We just need some stability at QB and that is something we have not had in quite awhile.
