Lonestar39 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'll have to be honest here. Watching the Browns last year was not part of my Sunday ritual so I'm clueless as to what the situation for starting back in Cleveland is like. Was Suggs just not that good looking on the field or is it just a "prone to injury" or fumbling as to why Cle decided to bring Droughs in. I saw Suggs in the prior year and thought he looked pretty good. Any info from you all on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Suggs should get the start because Droughns is horrific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 the last we here had heard was that this may be a RBBC. Savage is intrigued by the thought of both of them on the field at the same time...I think Suggs' injuries coupled with Green's penchant for the bud (both kinds) and falling on knives made the front office nervous...

KevinL Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Droughns had 275 carries for 1240 yards, a 4.5 ypc average. Suggs had 199 carries for 744 yards, a 3.7 ypc average. Cleveland hasn't had a 1000 yard RB since Kevin Mack & Ernest Byner in the late 1980's. Suggs was drafted by Butch Davis. I think Droughns gets a serious look. It's really hard to say though.

muck Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) Droughns also had the OL in Denver blocking for him... How did RD do in DET when he was there? He was a 2.5ypc guy...fwiw... Edited April 11, 2005 by muck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestar39 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Droughns also had the OL in Denver blocking for him... How did RD do in DET when he was there? He was a 2.5ypc guy...fwiw... 773827[/snapback] Man, that comparison makes me get tired head when I think back on how Priest Holmes used to get beat up by his numbers when with Baltimore...not that I think Droughns is a Priest Holmes but honestly that Detroit team was horrible when Droughns was there.

Shotgun Messiahs Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I read Suggs was second in the league in fumbles lost with 6. Droughns had five last year! So far, this is starting to look like a RBBC, if they continue with the jelly hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklers Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 William Green for PRESIDENT!!! Best running back to ever play the game, all he needs is another chance. Maybe this time he won't get framed to look like a bad guy as before with the arrest, weed, and knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Public Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Droughns is not that good, and he'll be with a bad offensive line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
