I like many of us was completely taken in with the Browns' improbable rise last season. Especially since I was able to trade Kevin Jones for DA in my fantasy league. Going hand and hand with DA's rise was the huge improvement of Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards and the rejuvenation of Jamal Lewis.
But have you seen them this preseason? I know it is just preseason but the Browns' first team looks really bad. The defense looks as bad as it was last year and the offense has been sputtering. Last night the first team of the Giants managed to put up 38 points before the they were 3 minutes into the second quarter.

Teddy Lehman is no longer a Buccaneer. You know what happens to former Buccos…
They become Detroit Lions.
Lehman was a Buc for what seemed to be about an hour, give or take 4 months. He was released by Tampa on Wednesday, likely for salary cap reasons. When Atlanta and Detroit immediately came calling, Lehman re-signed with his old team. Lehman must have figured, "The devil you know, better than the devil you don't."

WTF was that ? Both starting units looked like they obvously somewhere else. Man was I dissappointed. I should be use to that, ...............thank goodness it's only pre-season.
I was not happy with the Browns corners playing 15 yards off the recievers. I mean if you cannot cover a guy within 5 yards off the line of scrimmage , why are you in this League ?
My dad told me growing up playing pop warner football............" Keep it simple , see ball .........get ball ". Too many times , these guys think too much about what to do and what not to do. And they end up on thier rear , or watching the guy scoring 6. I say this from my reclyner with a beer in my hand yea, but come on..................look like you know what your doin ( thats why you getting the paid the serious $ coin $ ).
