Thursday Browns Notes: Two Players on All-Pro Team, Pluto's Thoughts

PrintWith the offseason here, I'd like to begin a daily feature that many of you have been clamoring for, and that is a "general news and nuggets" type of post. I am looking for suggestions on what to call this piece, whether it be something clever and original or something that is plain but acceptable for its purpose. An example would be the title "Fear the Links" for our Cavaliers site "Fear the Sword." Please list your suggestion(s) in this thread!
All-Pro Respect for Cribbs, Thomas
Two Cleveland Browns players made the All-Pro team, according to the Associated Press. Those players are kick returner Joshua Cribbs and left tackle Joe Thomas. Of the teams who didn't have any players who were All-Pro?
The New York Giants, Washington, Atlanta, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, St. Louis, Miami, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Cincinnati, Kansas City and Pittsburgh had no All-Pros this season.
We can't let either of these players get away from our team. The link from SBNation.com above outlines the entire first-team All-Pro list.
Pluto: "It's Early, but a Calm, Savvy Atmosphere is Here..."
In the article, Pluto outlines some of his early thoughts on the revised regime:
Mangini said he was impressed how Holmgren called the entire coaching staff into a meeting room to inform them that Mangini would remain. He also talked to them about his basic approach to running the team, and explained some general expectations that he has for the staff.
"It put everyone at ease," said Mangini. "I'm not sure I would have thought to do that if I were in Mike's position. I'm glad he did it."
Mangini is losing some power, as the draft will be guided by Heckert. But Mangini said Heckert's Eagles often picked players that he liked.
Building the Hype for Braylon Edwards
It's gotten so bad with Braylon Edwards' big drops in New York that his coach and his teammates are basically saying, "ok, we know he's had some huge drops, but we GUARANTEE he will have a HUGE game soon!" It will just make it all-the-more-special if he drops another critical pass this weekend against the San Diego Chargers.
"Absolutely," Sanchez said. "Just seeing the kind of catches he makes in practice, and even the catches he’s made in the games — I guess the drops would stand out, just like interceptions stand out for me — he’s in a tough position. Does he think he should catch those balls? Absolutely. Do we talk about it? All the time. And do we get in the extra work? Yes. So we’re doing the right things to make that happen, and it’s only a matter of time. He’s a playmaker, he’s a stud, and you feed the studs, you just keep throwing him the ball, and he’s bound to catch it."
Off-Beat Notes
- This Sunday, FOX's long-running action drama "24" returns with an all-new season. If you haven't seen Jack Bauer kick ass before, then tune in from 9 PM to 11 PM EST for the premiere. I'll also check out the premiere of FOX's "Human Target" at 8 PM EST, although I might have to tape it if CBS' playoff game runs past 8 PM.
- LOST returns February 2nd for its sixth and final season. As that date approaches, the lost creators continue to do press conferences with some of the cast. While there aren't any huge spoilers at the link, it does mention the possible return of two more cast members.
- Spider-Man 4 has been canceled, and instead the series will reboot again. That doesn't make much sense to me, but Tobey Maguire and company pulled out after a script couldn't get finalized I guess.
- At least there will be Ghostbusters 3 to look forward to, with productions set to begin Summer 2010.

you would think that, but you’d be wrong.
I hate the steelers the way a mother loves a child.
I love the idea for this kind of post. Its a great way to bring regular and new traffic to the site. I recently started one on the Blue Jackets SBN site “The Cannon.” Check it out.
Shameless plugs aside…
Call it…?
“Browns Dog Piles” OR
“Browns Bone Yard” OR
If you wanted to go the route of the Cavs, “Links by Nature.”

Heh…people seem to like the Kibbles ‘n’ Bits one, so I’ll consider that for a future poll of the most popular names.

Poll it up. We need an official vote here. Maybe a series of votes. Include all ideas, good and bad, then take the top 5 or 10 and then we can vote again.

All in all, Mangini seems to be taking this well. I haven’t been this excited about a total FO picture since… ever.
I’d imagine it’s quite the relief to have been vetted and retained by a coach of Holmgren’s stature. The man’s had a rough couple of years…

hopefully this takes some pressure off and we can see a little improvement in his coaching.

It also brings the talk into interesting topics besides football for those who might want to talk about it…like the fact that 24 is so damn confusing and they shouldn’t have even made a spider man 3
I love the fact that cincy made the playoffs and had no all pro’s…
I’d rather be in the playoffs then have a team full of all pro’s
They gone have to stop sleeping on me one day.. I gotta be one of the best

If the segment did get a name, probably better if it wasn’t named after a trademarked brand name, e.g. Kibbles n Bits.

I never used Dawg Bones in the past in an attempt to not interfere with the already-titled website dawgbones.com.

I’ve considered Brownie Points before; I thought it might sound too obvious and not clever enough. If you guys like it though it can certainly be a candidate.

Chris would be getting some really weird google emails if we named it that.

I love the Joe Thomas picture above.
With nothing behind him, it just proves that Joe Thomas blocks EVERYTHING.
see the jersey and shoulder pads laying back behind him? the player inside them disintegrated when JT laid hands on him. he’s that good.

Dude. SP 4 cancelled? I was hoping for a Carnage/ Venom battle! Oh well. And how does 24 even make sense? One show = One hour, One season= 24 hours. When does this man use the bathroom?
If I hear "There's always next year" one more time...
I stopped watching when his family was kidnapped twice in one season.
That means that his family was kidnapped twice in one day. You have to be the world’s dumbest human to be kidnapped twice in the span of 24 hours.

I hope the reboot does the series right, the way the reboot of The Hulk was much better than the first.

I like the Idea, and 2 possible name ideas could be:
The Daily Bone or
The Daily Biscuit
I like the Kibbles n Bits part as well, and thought of that too before I read the comments.
