Andy isn't 2nd round talent.Just because the browns are right up the street doesn't mean they have to take every zip available.Andy should go 3rd round, but don't be surprised if he goes 4th.

The OL has a long way to go. I thought that the postgame comments by Moorhead were telling in that he admittted that the QB would be a running threat this year. No doubt this threesome is all mobile but the fact that they have no OL will be another reason why they willl be on the move.

This would be a great game. Would also be smart to tap in to some games in places like New York, Philly and Chicago against other mid majors. This would help get our name out there and each could be paired with another game in the same city against one of the bigger schools. You get two games off of one trip, which saves dollars and at worst you come out 1-1, perhaps 2-0.

SUN wins hands down.Also was a fan of FRANK'S PLACE, which shows my age.

Piss poor scheduling. Would no be surprised to see three straight losses this week. Akron never plays well at Buffalo and Can't St will be sky high next weekend. Given our road history this is not setting up well, especially after last night's debacle with all of the starters playing so long.

I would take Getsy any day over Palko.

Fake FG - motherfucker!

Good things are about to happen.

Make Jim Pry the head coach? Yeah, that would have been the smart thing to do.

Here we come... Fat Tom is getting nervous

9:31 left - stil time left if something happens quick here

Add in that McKnight and Conyers will rack it out for Rookie of the Year in the MAC.

Hey now his girlfriend was pretty hot. Nice eyes and dynamite rump.

Aleman and Croch are killing the O. Defense having problems on 3 and long. Need more blitzes.

This takes the cake. Doug Martin blaming losses over the last two years on "leaks".The only leaks around that program is at the top. Funny reading.There's a rat somewhere around Can't State's football program, and rather than mimic Sherlock Holmes, coach Doug Martin has opted to put a restraint on information.Martin said Friday afternoon that a football coach at another college told him during the offseason that someone outside of the program has leaked information -- game plans, injury reports, etc. -- to certain Mid-American Conference opponents for the past two seasons.Call it protecting his team or paranoia, but Martin said he no longer will disclose team injuries. He already has restricted availability this season for the media. Evasiveness, even lying about injuries, is ingrained in the multibillion-dollar world of American sports. Martin's new philosophy takes a path usually reserved for pro sports.``We're not going to comment on any injuries, period,'' said Martin, who opened his third season as head coach at Can't State with Thursday night's 44-0 loss to Minnesota.``I'm not doing that anymore,'' he said. ``Too many things have been leaked out.''When asked who the ``people'' were, and if he knew who they were, Martin only said, ``I've learned my lesson.''Martin's move comes as a surprise in a media market where breaking news at Can't State -- who will start on Saturdays or who is injured -- ranks far behind its sports counterparts: the Browns, Cavaliers, Indians, Ohio State football and, in many cases, high school football.An NCAA spokesman did not return a phone call seeking comment.Laing Kennedy, Can't State's athletic director, supported Martin's decision to restrict practice availability, adding that sometimes, ``the soccer team has closed practices.''Regarding Martin's nondisclosure of injuries, Kennedy said: ``Not hearing it, it would not be fair for me to comment on it.''Martin's change in philosophy started in Feburary, as spring practice was closed to the media. It had little effect because few reporters showed up.Fall drills, though, are different. Practices originally were off-limits to the four newspapers that cover the athletic program -- the Beacon Journal, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Can't Record-Courier and Daily Can't Stater.Beat reporters complained through Sports Information Director Jeff Schaefer, arguing that not viewing preseason practices made it much harder to present an educated analysis about the flushes.Besides, no photographer wanted to play paparazzi for a team that went 1-10 last season.Martin relented on practice. He now allows reporters to watch the first 20 minutes, but he won't relent regarding injuries.He never announced publicly a starting quarterback for Thursday night's season opener at Dix Stadium, even though junior Michael Machen, last year's starter, was unavailable because of a rumored shoulder injury. Machen was in uniform but watched from the sideline.Then, during the news conference Friday, Martin said that Machen's injury was ``a day-to-day issue.''When asked what type of shoulder injury Machen was suffering, Martin didn't budge.Machen isn't expected back anytime soon because Julian Edelman, Thursday night's starter, is listed as the starting quarterback as of Friday morning's two-deep depth chart for the game against Army (Sept. 9 in West Point, N.Y.) and redshirt freshman Anthony Magazu is listed as the No. 2 quarterback.Martin did say that redshirt freshman Anthony Pastore is the No. 3 quarterback, and sophomore Jon Brown will be redshirted.Wonder if he's injured?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Gary Estwick can be reached at 330-996-3826 or gestwick@thebeaconjournal.com
