@JJSteele3 I loved the all white! Wouldn't mind mixing it up though of course. As long is we rock those striped socks.

Mike Sherman and Kevin Coyle have agreed to terms with Miami to be coordinators. Contracts to be signed shortly #insideslant

I just received a text alert saying that Mike Holmgren will be addressing the media today at 11:45am. I can imagine he'll be talking about Colt McCoy and the NFL & NFLPA investigations into the concussion incident.

The event will be streamed live on www.clevelandbrowns.com

Clayton's Mailbag :: Browns Draft Dilema Question

Q: Big Browns fan here. A friend of mine and I endlessly debate the state of the Browns and draft strategy. Lately we're wondering whether Colt McCoy has shown enough this year. The Browns desperately need playmakers, and playmakers could help McCoy take another step forward. But the Browns' best chance at drafting a playmaker (their first pick in the 1st round) is the same pick they'd potentially use on a Landry/Barkley. What do you think?

A: You may be right. If there is a slam-dunk quarterback for the Browns to draft, they should do it. But I don't get the feeling they are going to get Andrew Luck or Matt Barkley. Is Robert Griffin III or Landry Jones that much better than McCoy? Good question. They might be better served to get a wide receiver with some deep speed. As great as Andy Dalton has been for the Bengals, he's having a great rookie season thanks to A.J. Green. That is the type of playmaker needed for the Browns.

Jerome Harrison was scheduled to undergo surgery on Friday for a brain tumor that was discovered during a physical after he was traded to the Eagles on Tuesday, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The trade, which was to bring Ronnie Brown to the Lions, was voided and Detroit placed Harrison on the reserve/non-football injury list. "He was in very good spirits," said coach Jim Schwartz, who visited Harrison in the hospital Friday morning, to the Free Press. "But after that, I don't know if I want to talk too much. It's one of those things, it's a non-football thing, and I'll just let him take it away from that spot."

The brain tumor might not have been found if not for the physical, and the Eagles' medical staff looked ordered an MRI after he told them he was experiencing headaches, according to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia. The Lions, who will likely be without Jahvid Best (concussion) this Sunday, signed running back Eldra Buckley. Maurice Morris is expected to start against Atlanta, with Keiland Williams his backup.

According to the Free Press, several Lions players said Harrison had been experiencing headaches - to the point that he was wearing sunglasses on the field during practice before he was fitted with a visor. "You don't really think about a brain tumor," linebacker Isaiah Ekejiuba told the paper. "You think about maybe a hard hit to the head, migraine, maybe a few days to get back and clear your head up, but you see how serious it can be."

#Browns Prez Holmgren said "there was no way I was going to trade Hillis, one of our best players.'' Said he talked to Hillis yesterday.

@MaryKayCabot
Holmgren says browns will prob hire an offensive coordinator next year. Shurmur will prob still call plays.

Thoughts and prayers go out to former Browns RB Jerome Harrison, who has a brain tumor, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

McCoy has had 45, 61 and 40 attempts in the Browns' three losses, and is on pace to throw 694 times this season, which would break Drew Bledsoe's 1994 league mark of 691.
