Crennel won't coach in 2009

May 3, 2009

Former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel won't coach in 2009, according to the Boston Globe.
In a story by Mike Reiss, Crennel said he wants to spend 2009 getting healthy following February hip surgery.
By the end of his coaching career in Cleveland, in which he went 24-40, it was easy to dislike Crennel. The Browns were [...]

December 29, 2008

The Browns just released the following statements.
First, from former general manager Phil Savage:
“I would like to thank Randy Lerner for giving me the opportunity to work for the Cleveland Browns over these past four seasons. Things did not go as well as we had expected, particularly in 2008, however, I do anticipate this team bouncing [...]

Pass the rock to Chud and Romeo

December 1, 2008

On the prospects of Joshua Cribbs seeing time at quarterback, here is what Derek Anderson had to say:
"We're not putting Josh in. You guys [must be] on crack, smoking crack. [Just] because we're playing bad doesn't mean we're going to put a receiver at quarterback."
Well, that was certainly an odd thing to say. First, Cribbs [...]

Crennel needs miracle to keep job

November 30, 2008

In other news, it's cold outside. I mostly just wanted to forget about today's game. So, here is this story.
Among the notes in it, the Browns could be looking at a Schottenheimer. But could it be young Brian Schottenheimer, the Jets' offensive coordinator? Boy, I hope not. Here is who the article lists as a [...]

What a mess

October 22, 2008

For about the last 24 hours or so, when word of Kellen Winslow's suspension leaked out, I've been trying to think about what to write.
Is it Winslow's fault? Is it Romeo Crennel's fault? Is it Phil Savage's fault?
At first, I blamed it on Savage, considering he couldn't spare a few minutes to give one of [...]

Would a Giants loss mean a firing or benching?

October 7, 2008

Since the Browns lost to Dallas and Pittsburgh to begin the season, man fans have angrily been calling for the firing of head coach Romeo Crennel and the benching of starting quarterback Derek Anderson.
So, with having two weeks to prepare for Monday night's game against the Giants, should Crennel be gone if the Browns drop [...]

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 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 [...]

Starters to go a quarter on Thursday

August 4, 2008

The season begins Thursday. That is crazy. If you're interested in seeing the first-team offense or defense, make sure to tune in on time because Romeo Crennel plans to play the starters a quarter.
The game is on NBC at 7:30 p.m. You can also listen on WMMS (100.7-FM), though hearing games on radio just isn't [...]

Training Camp – July 31 – Wait a Sec on Brady Quinn

July 31, 2008

Another hot and sultry day – reminiscent of summer days in the great state of Alabama – out at Berea today.
Just when Coach Romeo Crennel offers some praise for Brady Quinn, the Cleveland Browns second string quarterback goes out and has – shall we say – an uneven day. Looking at Quinn in the team's lone [...]

Forget questions about Bentley, he's gone

June 11, 2008

See Marla Ridenour's story here.
This will not adversely affect the Browns in the least. Some Browns fans (like most Cleveland fans are known to do) are probably freaking out right now.
"The Browns will now have a losing season and the line is going to fall apart."
"Derek Anderson is going to get destroyed."
"He's just the first [...]

LeCharles Bentley to participate in practices?

May 13, 2008

That seems to be what head coach Romeo Crennel was intimating at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club Monday. Bentley has missed the last two seasons with a serious patellar tendon injury he suffered in the Browns' first 11-on-11 practice during training camp in 2006. I was at camp that day and it [...]

Browns to simplify defense?

April 15, 2008

Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe wrote in his notes that the Browns could be simplifying their defense. Read the full article here.
The Browns added considerable bulk in the form of defensive linemen Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams this offseason, but they're trimming down in other areas. Coach Romeo Crennel is considering simplifying the defense [...]
