Jamal Lewis and Terence Newman are iffy for tomorrow's game

I finally saw "The Dark Knight." Wow. What a great movie and what a great performance by Heath Ledger. He threw a monkeywrench into Batman's whole program.

This is the way I see a certain wide receiver that plays for the Browns. He can be the monkeywrench to ruin my plans for celebration tomorrow. Braylon Edwards is one of the best young playmakers of this league. He's big, he's fast and he's got great hands. He'll be a handful for any of our defensive backs.

Anderson and Edwards made a terrific duo last season. Edwards, a former Michigan standout, had a career year, catching 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns. After working with Anderson this off-season, Edwards hopes he can improve even more.

I've got Braylon in a couple of my leagues. I hope he has a great season. After tomorrow.

Jamal Lewis is a gametime decision.

Running back Jamal Lewis (hamstring) was limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

Lewis will be a game-time decision, coach Romeo Crennel said.

Lewis participated in the open first half-hour Friday, but may have sat out team drills. If he can't go, Jerome Harrison and Jason Wright will carry the load at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

"That's what they've been preparing to do," Crennel said. "We've said all along that Jamal is a different kind of player that we're dealing with, and those guys, they're not to Jamal's level. We understand that, but they do bring something to the table and they'll help this team.


Newman is still iffy.

 

If you're in Cleveland, you have to go the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Home to Billie Holiday, The Clash, Buddy Guy and Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. The DMN Blog is on the scene.

All this talk about music is going to make me break out my O'Jays and The Police music collections.

Young corner Brandon McDonald says he's not scared of the big bad wolf named T.O. He says he's ready. Well we'll see. Don't get handled like Dragonfly Jones.

Stroll down memory lane with my man Billy Bob Bates. I miss that dude.

 

For years and years it seemed like the Cowboys brought bums off the street to kick for us. And most of the time it worked. Then a few years back we came this close from going 12-4 because of a few missed field goals. So we brought in Vanderchump and I was genuinely excited about our prospects. What a fool I was.

Well I thank my lucky stars for Nick Folk. He doesn't talk much. He's not a whiner. He's not a prima donna. He knows kickers get dissed like lame dudes in a Rihanna song (which Ne-Yo wrote by the way and did I mention how SEXY she is? Anyways back to my original point). Folk doesn't care. He just goes out and does his job.

One of the best players in training camp has pretty much gone unnoticed outside the locker room.

You might take Nick Folk for granted, but don't think for a moment the Cowboys do.

Folk has been impressive in training camp and the preseason, removing any thoughts that he might be in line for a sophomore slump.

He's good. Real good.

Word.

He is inactive

everyone is reporting it….ESPN, Serius Radio..

ESPN.com reports Dallas Cowboys CB Terence Newman (groin) will not play in the team’s Week 1 game, even though he is listed as questionable, according to a team source.

Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!

Newman re-injured his groin this week

Eatman has an article up on it

I was going to ask

I was thinking he must have had a set back, I wonder how severe of a setback???

I hope it doesn’t mean another 4 weeks..

i haven't seen this...

everyone seems to be reporting that he’s questionable. ESPN, NFL.com, DMN Blog, etc.

I’ll be happy to report it if it’s true. I just haven’t seen it.

NFL.com link.

ESPN links here and here.

The DMN says “he could play on passing downs” and the link is here.

Even DC.com is calling it 50-50. Link is here.

Again, they may be playing games just to keep the Browns off-kilter. And if I had to guess I’d say he probably won’t play Sunday. But, for what I’ve seen, he hasn’t been listed as inactive by anyone. Questionable is the line everybody’s been going with. And there seems to be conflicting reports on whether he’ll play or not.

I’ll keep an eye out though. And if I see he’s been listed as inactive (which I assume they might do right before kickoff or on Sunday morning) I’ll try to post it.

Braylon

Hey Tuna, since we’re matched up in the BTB league this week, I definitely agree with you on hoping Edwards doesn’t start out the season well!

It's really not even fair how good Zeppelin is

The greatest drummer EVER, hands down in Bohnam
One of the top 2 or 3 greatest guitarists ever in Page
Quite possibly one of the greatest all around musicians ever in Jones, with all he could play
And easily the most recognizable voice in rock history with Plant

Add to that genius song writing, and nobody even comes close.

awesome that they got together again with Jason on drums.

everytime i wake up....

I hear the live version of “How many more Times” in my head……the full 20 minutes of it lol

if you were to invent a perfect rock band it would Led Zeppelin

but i had tickets to the Rush concert when they came to dallas a couple of months back………i didnt pay for them but my friend gave them to me…

I saw Robert Plant in concert a few years back

In a small theater in Muskogee, OK of all places. He was awesomely great. He did a lot of classic Zep, spot on. My fav song at the time was Nobody’s Fault But Mine and they played it, couldn’t believe my luck at being there.

I love LZ

But I would definitely put Neil Peart, at any level you want, up against John Bonham. Bonham was fantastic, a great drummer, and incredibly energetic, but Neil has so many aspects to his game that it’s really hard to give the nod to Bonham.

by rhodri2112 on Sep 7, 2008 10:34 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bonham was a beast on the drums

But I agree with you NP is unbelievably good.

too funny, this is exactly what i thought when i read about the RR Hall of Fame here…
I am a HUGE RUSH fan….
rhodri2112 – not that i post here that often but i have not seen your screen name or i would have mentioned something..
saw Al, Ged, and Neil in Orlando and in Lauterdale and Orlando this past summer..
i would say the ONLY thing i follow harder than the Cowboys is RUSH.

Man

I can’t believe those guys were at the Rock and Roll HOF.
I was at the pro Football HOF in Canton at 10AM this morning…
Then went to the RNR HOF around %PM this evening….
We’re getting ready to tailgate in the morning on Lake Erie….

Browns fans are getting crazy up here…Like they got a chance…LOL……
There seems to be a playoff atmosphere here already…The Browns players seem confident if not…dare I say….Cocky…..

I can’t wait until kickoff!!!!!!!

hey man....

boyzrback, no i don’t..
i live in Connecticut, i was in Lauterdale and Orlando just for the RUSH shows…

I usually make it to every opening night show and then some, but i could not make it to Purto Rico which was RUSH’s ‘real’ opening night for this past summers leg of the ‘Snakes and Arrows’ tour…

Me Too

This summer marked the first time in almost 30 years that I missed a Rush concert within 200 miles of where I was at. I had tickets but a conflict came up. I was immensely depressed.

I did get to see them this summer in KC though, at the Starlight theatre, which is a fairly small venue, and it was amazing. BTW, did it seem like this was the most relaxed and innovative tour ever? It seemed to me that the fact that it was the second tour for Snakes and Arrows that they felt more able to try odd little twists to a variety of songs.

agree 100%
saw the tour 6 times last summer and only twice this summer… would have been more but the arrival of my daughter cut short any time to do anything but be a dad…

way cool that you are a huge fan also..

i think we have hijacked this thread for RUSH

i hang out here:

Henry on Edwards

Why was Henry brought in? To be able to jam those bigger receivers and that what Edwards is. I think Pac is just too small to stick with Edwards. Wouldn’t mind seeing Jenkins on Edwards either.

No CB will be able to contain Braylon alone IMO.

This is going to be an interesting matchup for our DB’s. Pick your poison with Braylon or the Souljah.

Henry will be drawing the task of sticking Winslow..

And I wish more people would go see it

So that it could knock Titanic out of the #1 alltime spot. It would need $94 million more, which this far along is pretty much impossible. Not bad though to be the 2nd $500 million movie ever.

by mhuff13 on Sep 7, 2008 12:17 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I still can't believe Titanic made that much money.

It was beyond boring. You’d think a movie featuring Kate Winslet wouldn’t be dull, but that one was.

I just saw the poll

Do more people really want our starting corner to return kickoffs than our backup rb? That is absurd. Glad this blog doesn’t decide who is starting.

by quincyyyyy on Sep 7, 2008 12:20 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

He is a starting corner now..

I want Scandrick and Jenkins personally.

John Clayton

had an interesting Romo stat in his first and 10 article:

He led the league with 191 completions and 10 touchdowns out of two-receiver sets last season.

Also, on Colin Cowherd’s show, Mark Schlereth and Trey Wingo were raving about the Cowboys. Schlereth called them the biggest, most intimidating football team he has ever seen in his life, and said that they would thunderpunch you on top of the head and shorten your neck.
