With the Browns picking Trent Richardson as the number 3 pick in the 2012 NFL draft many thought the man from Alabama would come into Cleveland and lead the NFL in rushing yards. It did happen that way exactly and T-Rich had to play through some injuries. Now that the Browns changed their coaching staff and brought in Norv Turner to run the Cleveland offense, many are thinking the Browns will come out in 2013 and air it out on every play. No So. Turner has a history of using the running back to produce positive results. How positive was the running game in Turner’s past? Very positive. 3 times running backs have led the NFL in rushing while working with Norv Turner. Emmitt Smith did it from 1991-93 when Turner was the O.C. in Dallas and this was a team that Turner did some of his best work as an O.C. for. Then there was Ricky Williams did it in 2002 who was in Miami, yes there was a time Williams could run in the NFL when he wasn’t high on pot. Turner had one more running back that ...

Browns should “franchise” Reggie Hodges, per PFT
With Phil Dawson extremely unlikely to be the recipient of his third-straght franchise tag, Mike Florio of NBC’s Pro Football Talk believes that the team should utilize this season’s tag on a fellow special teamer in punter Reggie Hodges.
Per Florio:

What Can The Browns Do To Draft Damontre Moore? Trading Weeden Isn’t Worth That Much.
With the Cleveland Browns wanting to go to a 3-4 defense, they are going to need help at the Line-Backer Position. They would benefit big-time if they could find a way to draft Damontre Moore the line-backer out of Texas A&M. The 6’4″ 250 lbs linebacker had a great career in college and he could carry that momentum into the NFL. Moore had 197 tackles, 26.5 sacks and 45 fo...
Lets Assume It Was The Browns Head Coach That Made Weeden & McCoy Bad, We Go Back To College & McCoy Still Outperforms
In this exercise, we will assume that the former Browns head coach had something to do with the way Brandon Weeden performed in during the 2012 season. After all, I hear it all the time that it was the coach that couldn’t use Weeden’s talents the way they should have been used. Then if we use the coach excuse the way so many Weeden fans do, we should also use the same excuse...
If The Cleveland Browns Don’t Trade Weeden, Who WIll Have A More Difficult Time In Camp, Him Or His Wife Having To Teach The New Offense?
By now we all know Mr. Brandon Weeden didn’t take his rookie season in the NFL all that seriously. It showed on the field and when he addressed the media. Weeden didn’t spend the required time studying the play book or watching game film. We all head him say he found it boring and would put him to sleep. Now with a new coaching staff including a real offensive coordinator who...
Experts not enthusiastic about 2013 NFL Draft
The Cleveland Browns picked the wrong year to have a Top 10 draft pick.
Then again, its a regular occurrence.
Except this year having that high a pick is sort of like the Browns recent seasons: Nothing special.
Because the draft simply isnt as loaded with standout players as it has been in the past. The buzz and sizzle are lacking as the NFL offseason kicks into gear this week...
