That's much different from the stereotypical West Coast offense the Browns are trying to run. How do you not understand the fullback? -- Robert Benjamin, Crestview, Fla.

I tell you what, how about you put in a call to Tom Rathman and see if he can explain it to you? They were the main reasons why the Browns had a fun, productive offense in 2007. 2001 -- Gerard Warren. Beginning in 1988 and continuing through his final year, he was selected to the Pro Bowl each and every season. View full size PD file photo Clay Matthews' first trip to the semifinal round of the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting makes it unlikely the former Browns linebacker will be inducted in the 2012 class. Clay Matthews, who played linebacker for the Cleveland Browns for 16 years, is one of 108 modern-era nominees for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2016. As exciting as 2007 was, I would give it up for consistency. Lately you're constantly lamenting (1) the Browns passing on Julio Jones and (2) their inactivity in free agency. Can't have it both ways and still be like Pittsburgh! -- Ronald Cox, Brunswick. -- Brian Carlin, Conshohocken, Pa. Hey, Brian: Jackson is an exciting playmaker, to be sure. Are replacement players officially recognized as Pro Bowl players? Hey, Tony: A lot of national media people are saying Andy Reid might be out in Philly. But instead I got a typo joke, nice. by the way, I think Dawson will not be re-signed by the Browns and he will get his wish to leave in free agency. Their record since 1999 in signing offensive playmakers is abysmal. I can see why he kept the ball after his touchdown because with all the drops he does not know what it feels like to catch a football and they complained about Braylon Edwards? Matthews was a very good player for a very long time, but ultimately he seems destined for the “hall of very good players” rather than the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Head coaches make so much money these days, it is rare for them to step into another job soon after being fired. -- Scott S., Philadelphia.

As for the games moving too fast for Shurmur, I would simply say he is rookie head coach learning something every week. Clearly, Browns fans everywhere think he has a hall-worthy resume. Hey, Dave: I'm not completely sold on Flynn, though I'd look into it. Is the D-line not as good as advertised or the linebackers need serious upgrading? Do you think that McCoy will ever develop into a QB who can drop back and deliver confident strikes like Dalton did in last week's loss? Hey, Tony: I read the Yahoo!

Hey, Tony: For as long as I can remember, you've disdained two things: free agency and taking a WR at the top of the first round. He has made it clear he is unhappy with his contract and he has put himself above his team. 2006 -- Kamerion Wimbley, D'Qwell Jackson. Each year at the end of the season I rank the players from 1 to 52 and Dawson is routinely in the top 10. After all, Mangini was 9-11 in his last 20 games.

During his 16 seasons with the Browns, Matthews played in four Pro Bowls, was a three-time NFL All-Pro, and made 248 starts (second in franchise history to Lou Groza) in a career that started with Brian Sipe and the Kardiac Kids, continued through the glory years of the Bernie Kosar playoff years, and closed out during the Bill Belichick era.

The great former Browns linebacker, Clay Matthews, No. Colt McCoy hasn't spoken to the local media about his experiences in his rookie training camp with the Browns, but his unhappiness with his treatment is well known through other sources.
