BROWNS’ SEAN JONES OUT SEVERAL WEEKS
Posted by Michael David Smith on September 10, 2008, 11:56 a.m. EDT
The Cleveland Browns’ secondary has taken a big hit.

Safety Sean Jones will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and miss several weeks, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting. Coach Romeo Crennel said Jones will not be placed on injured reserve, and the team does think he’ll be back this year.

Jones, a 2004 second-round draft pick, has started every game since the beginning of the 2006 season. His absence will be especially difficult for the Browns to deal with if their other starting safety, Brodney Pool, can’t return this week from the concussion that kept him out Week 1.

Mike Adams and Nick Sorensen would be the starting safeties if both Jones and Pool are out. Crennel said the Browns might add a safety to the roster.

Cleveland Browns safety Sean Jones out four weeks with knee surgery

by Mary Kay Cabot Wednesday September 10, 2008, 11:20 AM


Browns safety Sean Jones will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and will miss at least several weeks.

Coach Romeo Crennel made the announcement today and said that Joneswill not be placed on injured reserve and that the Browns plan to havehim back this season.

Jones first suffered swelling in the knee in the preseason openeragainst the Jets and experienced it again the following week againstthe Giants. Jones sat out the final two preseason games, but sufferedthe swelling again after Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Fellow safety Brodney Pool might return from a concussion this week,meaning Mike Adams would start in place of Jones. If Pool is still out,Adams and Nick Sorensen would be the starting safeties.
Crennel said the Browns are also looking for available safeties.

Receiver/returner Josh Cribbs and offensive lineman Rex Hadnot werecleared to participate in practice today. Receiver Donte Stallworth wasidle with a quad strain and is questionable for the Steelers Sundaynight.

Jones was going to be a beast coming out of college.

had he went anywhere but to Ohio for his pro career, he'd have been excellent.

Apparently, Sean Jones is going to miss the game against the Steelers this Sunday night. Me thinks the Browns hopes of having safety help over the top just went bye bye..

[Smooth Criminal]

already a thread on this.

But if they are missing both Pool and Jones we should be able to torch them. Missing Jones will also hurt them in run support.

Were going to kill them.

You know those quick 2 step drops Ben did in pre to Holmes? Yeah, I'm hoping to see those this Sun. night.

[Smooth Criminal]

I think we could win this game without ever throwing the ball.

[thesteelcity]

it's still a divisional game and they are always tough. . .




until we score, score and score and we go into the half 21-3 and it's lights out from then on! Good guys dominate again. . . 31-10

[Spike]

Browns fans are in a tizzy because they aren't picking up any FA help......sound familiar?

Even rodents don't abandon ship until it is ACTUALLY sinking...

Did I mention the "Hire Cowher" threads have already started?

[Smooth Criminal]

I hope Cowher doesn't ruin a HoF career by going to Cleveland.

[GoSteelers]

fuck them!

WKNR's Tony Rizzo tries to be a voice of reason as Clevelanders go bonkers over loss to Cowboys

Did you hear that the sky is falling?

The Chicken Littles screamed out in force on ESPN 850 (WKNR 850-AM) on Monday's Rizzo on the Radio show during the usual postmortem of the Browns-Cowboys debacle from Sunday afternoon.

Calls ran about 10-1 in favor of the team being completely useless, horribly wretched and godawful in the segments I monitored. And, of course, coach Romeo Crennel should be run out of town after being stoned, egged or tarred and feathered.

Yes, folks, after one game, the season is over. Time to pack it in and play for the draft next spring.

That was the rather facetious angle of Tony Rizzo's show as he parried with his sidekick and constant foil, Aaron Goldhammer.

This is why I like Rizzo. He has gone out on a limb, a rather thin and splintered one at that, and claimed the Browns will be in the Super Bowl. Most of that talk is in jest, but it points to something bigger. Having grown up in Northeast Ohio, he supports the home team and does so without being a homer.

Rizzo rather deftly talked folks off their respective window ledges while not pulling a single punch in criticizing the Browns for what could only generously be called a ''lackluster'' performance. The pass rush? He railed against it. The defense in general? Blah. The offense? He told some callers that the offense looked out of sync and not being together for much of the preseason certainly didn't help.

But here's where he parts company with most people you would label ''homers.'' Rizzo asked, ''Why should Browns fan settle for 'competitive?' '' We should be beyond competitive and expect more from a team that went 10-6 last year and that has carried itself with an air of confidence all preseason, he said.

Give Goldhammer credit, too, for rightly taking Crennel to task for settling for a field goal with his team down by 21 points and 10 minutes left in the game. He rightly said that in football that's not something you do with that much time left.

We probably could. Should be a lot of fun torching the Stains defense with passing and running the ball. Maybe even Ben could run for a few long ones.
