More from Braylon

October 29, 2007

Leftovers from Sunday's post-game interview with receiver Braylon Edwards:
(On his tough catches) The catch on the sideline, that was all D.A. I didn't give him too much at the line of scrimmage, the DB had good coverage. D.A. scrolls me to the sideline, he put the ball in a great spot.

Hitting his Peek?

October 26, 2007

In preseason, Browns outside linebacker Antwan Peek looked like the perfect sidekick for Kamerion Wimbley. But a strained foot suffered in the opener has hampered Peek and the Cleveland pass rush. It's a big reason the Browns have just six sacks, ranking 30th in the league going into Sunday's game at St. Louis.
Peek came to [...]

How long will Winslow last?

October 26, 2007

An ill-fated motorcycle accident in 2005 may have set the stage for a brilliant but short-lived career for Browns third-year tight end Kellen Winslow.
Winslow underwent reconstructive surgery on his right knee after the accident, then needed microfracture surgery on it in the past off-season. While he's tied with receiver Braylon Edwards [...]

Is it Quinn time?

October 11, 2007

Some might suggest that Sunday's home game against Miami would be the perfect time for the debut of Browns' first-round pick Brady Quinn — in a substitute role. The Dolphins are 0-5.

In a 51-45 victory over Cincinnati and a 27-13 triumph over Baltimore, the Browns looked like a juggernaut. In a 34-7 loss to Pittsburgh and a 26-24 setback at Oakland, they were a mess. An efficient first drive last [...]

Good Derek, bad Derek

October 7, 2007

The least encouraging thing about Sunday's 34-17 loss at New England was that 'Bad Derek,' aka Browns quarterback Derek Anderson, appeared again, just as he did in Oakland. This time Anderson's Jekyll and Hyde impersonation included three first-half interceptions that led to 14 Patriots points and halted a drive to the New England 1.
While the [...]

Measuring stick

October 5, 2007

The Browns may be at least 16-point underdogs Sunday against New England, but don't sound intimidated. The undefeated Patriots have outscored opponents 148-48.
Such a dominating start has launched talk of the Patriots going 16-0. Asked if they're that good, Cleveland defensive end Robaire Smith said, "I think they are. At [...]

All's fair?

October 5, 2007

If New England linebacker Mike Vrabel is going to continue to take away his touchdowns, Patriots tight Ben Watson wants equal time on defense.
After Vrabel scored the ninth touchdown of his career in Monday night's victory over Cincinnati, Watson joked that he wants a chance to rush the passer and get a [...]
