First of all, be sure to check out the WFNY podcast previwing the game this morning. With kickoff just a few hours away, here are a few quick keys from yours truly if the Browns hope to get win number two of the season this afternoon at home.
Will the defensive tackles be able to stop Ryan Matthews and the ground attack?
It’s been a huge concern all season long without Phil Taylor. It gets even more hairy without Ahtyba Rubin, who has not been a key factor in the last two games and will miss today’s contest. The Browns will use their three rookies in Billy Winn, John Hughes, and Ishmaa’ily Kitchen along with Brian Sanford, the third-year player who was signed off the practice squad yesterday. They’ll hope to slow down Matthews, who rushed for nearly 1,100 yards last season but has struggled this season. Jackie Battle is their bruising goal-line back, and Ronnie Brown has been used to spell Matthews as well.

We all hope it’s Trent Richardson for the...

The Cleveland Browns are one of the least improved teams in the NFL in 2012. Teams that sucked in 2011 have already shown great improvement in 2012. Not the Cleveland Browns. You measure improvement by wins and losses, sorry Browns fans that is the way it is in the NFL. Almost winning a game doesn’t count. The Browns are one team that sucks worse in 2012 than they did in 2011....

With the departure of Holmgren as the Browns failed team president it would be nice to know what advice he has for head coach Pat Shurmur. The words that should be coming out of Holmgren’s mouth would be telling Shumur the charade is coming to an end. People that know your reputation have taken control of the team and I can no longer cover up your lack of head coaching experience...

Browns edge Chargers in rough weather
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Rookie Trent Richardson rushed for 122 yards and scored a touchdown, leading the Cleveland Browns to a soggy, wind-whipped 7-6 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
Richardson, pulled last week at Indianapolis when he was ineffective because of a rib injury, carried 24 times as the Browns (2-6) won their second straight game at home -- and first for new owner...
