  1. He has made far more good plays than bad and I'm not saying either of these were bad.  What gives? :unsure:
    Only two photos I found of him from that game. Don't read too much into it.I guess if you don't want your photo taken of (you) missing tackles...don't miss.If you find photos of him making a good play in the game, this would be a great place to post them.
  2. Dr. Z...if we are thinking of the same play, Shaffer got pushed to his back with such ease that it looked like he was standing on a street, and a truck ran him over.
    Found it.charlie-frye-sacks.jpgHere is a blow by blow of the first three sacks:Sack #1: On a simple four-man rush with no trickery right tackle Kevin Shaffer was simply blown back into Frye by Aaron Smith for the sack. The sack occurred 2.97 seconds after the snap, so it's borderline, but this one is more about the offensive line than Frye.Sack #2: This was a little more difficult of a disguised blitz for the line to pick up. The Steelers rushed two linemen while bringing three linebackers in a well-designed dime defense on third and 12. But again it's less about trickery than a man being beaten head-to-head. Linebacker James Farrior simply bull rushed left tackle Joe Thomas back to Frye. Shaffer was also being beaten on a speed rush by LaMarr Woodley on the other edge which forced Frye to step up into Farrior. The sack came 2.75 seconds after the snap so it again seems to be more of a line problem than Frye.Sack #3: There's no way to blame Frye for this sack. Just 1.5 seconds after he took the snap, and as he set to throw on a three-step drop, Frye was hit and sacked by Clark Haggans coming off his blind side. The Steelers sent Haggans and two defensive backs on a blitz from the left side. With no one in the backfield for blitz pickup there simply was too many rushers and not enough blockers.Does anybody in the Cleveland media have the balls to dispute the Browns front office with this? My guess...no.
  3. i gotta get more teachers at my school to vote. WE ARE AKRON WE SHALL NOT LOSE!!!!!! COME ON ZIPPY AND ZIPS FANS!!!!! :screwks::champs::cheers:
    Give the students a homework assignment, you have to vote for Zippy 100 times.Have them write a one page report how they did it and how long it took.
  4. Nobody thought he was good enough to be a starter. If someone thought he was starter material, they would have offered more than a 6th.
    That is EXACTLY what Miami traded for their starter a couple months ago. :rolleyes: Why do you think that it was easy to negotiate the trade so quick? Precedent was set.
  5. Ask Doc what I said when he was drafted.................I frikin hate to be right when it involves a young man I respect.
    I've been waiting for your comment. It's good to be in the know. ;) JD's comments from the BJ.Akron coach J.D. Brookhart said he feels bad for Frye, but he hasn't lost faith in him.''He works very hard. He's got all the intangibles,'' Brookhart said. ''You don't know (Sunday) if the receivers ran the wrong routes, or the protection wasn't right. You don't know how to assess everything off a quarter and a half. It's not like that's his first game.''Charlie will have his opportunity again, and knowing him, he'll be prepared for it. Charlie is the right kind of guy. He will press on. He'll be in the NFL a long time.''
  6. I love this part of the story. Makes you think.Green said the key was the quick action taken by Cappuccino to run an ice-cold saline solution through Everett's system that put the player in a hypothermic state. Doctors at the Miami Project have demonstrated in their laboratories that such action significantly decreases the damage to the spinal cord due to swelling and movement."We've been doing a protocol on humans and having similar experiences for many months now," Green said. "But this is the first time I'm aware of that the doctor was with the patient when he was injured and the hypothermia was started within minutes of the injury. We know the earlier it's started, the better."Everett remains in intensive care and will be slowly taken off sedation and have his body temperature warmed over the next day, Green said. Doctors will also take the player off a respirator.

  7. Well, here's an interesting scenario in the works.....Cincinnati had the 30th ranked defense in the NFL last year. Whoever gets the start at QB will likely have a much easier time of it this week.Which means, of course, that the remaining Browns fans will (at least for one week) be thinking, "See? We always knew the QB was the problem".
    Skip, did you watch the Monday night game? Cincy D was getting some good pressure on McNair.
