Cleveland Browns: From the Coach

September 17, 2008

Coach Romeo Crennel had little problem calling what wide receiver Braylon Edwards is enduring currently a slump.  He's more concerned, however, with getting Edwards' problems corrected. Right now the wideout has five receptions for 46 yards.  Gee, think those fantasy football wonks who have him on their rosters are a bit miffed?  You betcha.
It’s always [...]

Cleveland Browns: In the Locker Room

September 17, 2008

Ummm…sure the Northeast Ohio Browns media were in the locker room this afternoon, but it resembled something out of an episode of The X-Files.  Many players were mysteriously missing.  Yes, we know that the problem lies in the fact that they lost this past Sunday, but as one person in the room observed:  "You're here [...]

Cleveland Browns: In the Locker Room

September 10, 2008

'Just Another Game'
Is this what free agency have wrought?  A couple of media members did a double take in the Browns locker room when Shaun Smith downplayed the importance of this Sunday night's Browns-Steelers game that's being televised nationally on NBC (WKYC Channel 3)
"It's just another game.  We're trying to get better and trying to [...]

Cleveland Browns: In the Coach's Office

September 10, 2008

- Browns Coach Romeo Crennel has always struck me like a bear in appearance and demeanor.   With respect to the latter, he only growls when necessary and in private.  But that hibernation-like demeanor kind of leaves me wondering whether he can ultimately hang on to the confidence of his players.
Take today's press conference for instance:
"We [...]

Cleveland Browns v. Dallas Cowboys – Inactives

September 7, 2008

It looks as if running back Jamal Lewis is going to give it a go against the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon.
Here's a rundown of the team's inactives:
Ken Dorsey (emergency QB)
Josh Cribbs
Brodney Pool
Kris Griffin
Rex Hadnot
Ryan Tucker
Martin Rucker
Missing Tucker and Hadnot is especially troublesome because it affects the right side of the line, which is likely where [...]

Browns v. Lions – Third quarter

August 23, 2008

Romeo Crennel proved true to his word. While the third preseason game is the one where first teamers see the most action, Crennel said in a recent practice that he wouldn't be telling them when they were coming out of the game – primarily because he thought it mad them in a hurry to get [...]

Browns v. Lions – Second Quarter

August 23, 2008

Quinn's third possession doesn't bode any better.  Again three and out with ineffective blocks courtesy of the right side of the line leads to Quinn getting splattered to the turf on his tookes.
The Browns just succeeded in making Dan Orlvosky look Favre-esque twice on the Lions first possession of the second quarter.  And Kevin Smith [...]

Browns v. Lions – First Quarter

August 23, 2008

First drive:  All of a sudden Jon Kitna looks like a junior Fran Tarkenton (for those of you under 40, look him up).  He completes two third and eights on the drive after scrambling away from pressure.  The good news is the Browns are getting pressure; the bad is that Kitna is evading it.  The [...]

Cleveland Browns: Team Acquires Defensive Back

August 20, 2008

Obviously the Browns brain trust saw what most fans saw in two pre-season games – problems in the defensive backfield.
Today, they went out and did something about it.  They acquired defensive back Travis Daniels, 6-1, 195 lbs, from the Miami Dolphins for an undisclosed draft pick.  The Browns waived DB Mil'Von James.
Per a team news [...]

Browns-Giants: A Quick Preview

August 18, 2008

In between shooting video trying to take notes Saturday, one thing was obvious about tonight's match-up against the Giants, the second quarter won't come soon enough.
Why?  Simply because there's little left to to decide when it comes to the season's starters.  Barring any type of injuries, the first team is set.  Yes, Browns fans, you [...]

Traning Camp Update – Aug. 13 – More of Mighty Quinn

August 13, 2008

It's difficult to keep your eyes on a video camera screen and concentrate on play on the field when you're out at Cleveland Browns training camp, but one thing clear from Wednesday's practice is that Brady Quinn had another lackluster day.
The downside:  two passes blocked at the line and a fumbled snap.
The upside:  Well, hey [...]

Training Camp Aug. 3 – What that Line is Doing & More QB Stuff

August 3, 2008

It's time that Cleveland's football fans deal with reality.
 Heck, I'll confess that it's time I deal with reality because I'm still lukewarm on Derek Anderson.  Listening to the fans at training camp chant:  "Brady! Brady!" makes me wonder what they're thinking.  Folks, Derek Anderson is your quarterback.  PERIOD.  STOP. IT. NOW.
There's no getting around it.  [...]

Training Camp – Family Night

August 1, 2008

Some good things on both side of the ball for Family Night.
 First up, the offense is starting to get into rhythm – that was at least the case Friday night.  It may be me but Jamal Lewis looks faster and more powerful.  He hit holes quickly, broke some arm tackles.  Now granted this wasn't full [...]

Filling the holes – Training Camp July 30 – Evening Practice

July 30, 2008

Travis & Travis sounds like a law firm.
It's not, but two players who share that name – Travis Thomas and Travis Wilson – may actually make contributions to the Browns this year.  I mentioned Thomas in my post earlier today.
Wilson has been drawing a lot of attention because the former third round draft pick out [...]

Training Camp Observations – July 30 Morning Practice

July 30, 2008

Weather that caused an immediate sweat remained in Berea for the Cleveland Browns morning practice – only this time it brought a calvacade of clouds – the dark ones too.  While some of the fans were disappointed that they got drenched for a brief spell, Browns Coach Romeio Crennel couldn't help but show his happiness [...]

Training Camp Observations – July 29th

July 29, 2008

Today felt like a pro football training camp – hot, sticky and a sun beating down so ferociously you felt as if you were the main dish at a Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner – and that's just how I felt.
But that sizzling, sultry air the Browns looked to get some serious work done.
Offensively, observers couldn't help [...]
