Browns place TE Steve Heiden and P Dave Zastudil on IR; Claim two players off waivers.

The Plain Dealer is reporting that TE Steve Heiden and P Dave Zastudil have been placed on the IR.

Heiden hurt his ankle in Monday Night's game against the Ravens.  Zastudil has been battling an injury for several weeks and had to sit out Monday Night's game. Reggie Hodges assumed the punting duties and probably will keep the very demanding position for the rest of the season. 

Heiden had 10 catches for 73 yards and a rare Browns' TD.  Pride of Ohio University, Zastudil already had 25 punts downed inside the 20 (out of just 49 punts!) and was averaging 44.7 yards per punt.

Replacing them on the roster are two players claimed off waivers:

- Pittsburgh LB Arnold Harrison. Has 7 tackles this year for the Steelers and 30 tackles in his 3 seasons, all with the Browns' Rival.  He was undrafted out of Georgia.

- Green Bay WR Jake Allen.  I can't find much about him, except it appears he was on the Packers practice squad all of 2008 and 2009 until being signed and active for 1 or 2 games.  He had no catches or stats in those games.  He was undrafted out of Division III Mississipi College (where he was a D-III All American).  He is 6'4" 198 lbs.

Haha. Most epic update ever.

And do we think the second Harrison out of Pittsburgh will be as good as the first? (Meant as a joke of course.)

Thanks.

At this point, we can just hope the guys can stay healthy and be warm bodies.

Just as he was having a Pro Bowl season.

Though, to be honest, I think he probably would have been unfairly snubbed just because voters would notice he’s associated with the Cleveland Browns.

Because they would have to only pick one of the three that should be going?

Shane Lechler was going to be the AFC punter this season. Have you looked at his numbers?

He is averaging 51.5 per. That is just shy of Sammy Baugh’s 51.4 record for a season. That is a wild stat.

How is it shy? His number is higher than Baugh’s so far.

My fault, meant just surpassing.

by Bernie19Kosar on Nov 19, 2009 1:46 PM EST up reply actions  

Good point, I had not yet noticed his stats this season, but I was aware that he is one of the best punters in the league.

So did anyone hear Mangini drool at the thought of James playing in the NFL?

Headline should Read

‘Browns acquire Linebacker Harrison from Steelers!’

by TheRealSlimShady on Nov 18, 2009 11:31 PM EST reply actions  

Headline should read “Now What?!?”

No.

RB highlights don’t mean a whole lot. If you can find a video that shows all of his carries against a certain opponent, then I might watch

Gerhart is extremely talented.

by gahnki on Nov 19, 2009 6:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Yea, but I think he is starting to get overrated

by TheRealSlimShady on Nov 19, 2009 8:04 PM EST up reply actions  

depends on if you are talking about as a college player or an NFL prospect.

You can never overrate a heisman candidate that plays at Stanford.

Clausen and Tate? Extremely overrated buddy. Don’t be biased now.
