SHOCK AND LAW

Rookie chooses law school over NFL

Citing concussions as the reason, undrafted rookie Andrew Sweat passed up a chance to make the Cleveland Browns in order to go back to law school. 

Keeping Perspective on Browns Rookie Camp Storylines

I was unable to make it to rookie camp this weekend to see and behold the skills of Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson. In some ways that’s probably a good thing. I learned last year in regular training camp that it is quite a vacuum to look at football. Without some serious perspective it is easy to think the team is far better or far worse than reality. That doesn’t mean it...

Las Vegas Not Buying Holmgren’s “Pretty Good Jump” Promise

If you thought it was hard enough to believe Mike Homgren last week when he said he expected the 2012 Browns to make “a pretty good jump,” here comes the people who risk real money on these promises to say that if Pat Shurmur’s charges are going to make any kind of significant jump next season, it’ll be backward. As reported last week, Cantor Gaming, which operates the sports...

A Closer Look At The Browns

The AFC North is always tough, and 2011 was no exception. All four teams were in the top 10 in overall defense. They made up half of the AFC playoff teams, going a combined 25-15 outside the division. Even the Browns were an almost respectable 4-6 outside the AFC North. 2012 should be similar. So getting a better look at the rest of the division to see what should be coming our...

Browns make roster moves

The Browns have cut running back Armond Smith and signed linebacker Emmanuel Acho, one of their 11 draft picks. Smith made Cleveland's roster last season as an undrafted free agent. He played in three games and spent 11 weeks on the team's practice squad. Acho, who started 48 career games at Texas, was selected in the sixth round. His signing leaves running back Trent Richardson...

Taylor has surgery on torn muscle

Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor has undergone surgery to repair a torn chest muscle he injured while lifting weights. Taylor tore his left pectoral muscle while bench pressing during the offseason conditioning program last week at the team's facility. A Browns spokesman said the surgery ''went well'' and the 335-pound Taylor is resting comfortably at the...

Browns optimistic Phil Taylor will play in 2012

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the Cleveland Browns are optimistic that defensive tackle Phil Taylor will be able to make a significant impact during the 2012 season, despite the fact that he just tore his pectoral muscle. I think Taylor will start out the regular season on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list, which will force him to miss the...

Browns Quarterbacks: a Competition or a Side Show

The Cleveland Browns after completing their rookie mini-camp over the weekend will now be throwing the veterans into the mix. Media outlets have quickly began their assault for ratings regarding the Browns with headlines such as "QB competition heats up this week", "Colt McCoy Vs. Brandon Weeden" and several others that would have a WWE promoter green with envy...

Tonight at 6 Browns Running Back Montario Hardesty CS360 Show

Tonight at 6 we have the Cleveland Browns Running Back Montario Hardesty on the Cleveland Sports 360 Show. Drafted in the second round of the 2010 draft Hardesty has the promises of being one of the best running backs in the NFL. Montario has been hampered by injuries since joining the Cleveland Browns and hasn’t been able to perform to the potential he has. The same type of thing...

Browns DT Taylor has surgery on torn muscle

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor has undergone surgery to repair a torn chest muscle he injured while lifting weights. Taylor tore his left pectoral muscle while bench pressing during the offseason conditioning program last week at the team's facility. A Browns spokesman said the surgery "went well" and the 335-pound Taylor is resting comfortably...

Why The Browns Should Go 7-9

The Cleveland Browns have been a 4-12 or 5-11 team for which seems like an eternity. Here's why I realistically think the Browns could go 7-9 this year. I think this year's draft has made the biggest impact on our team in years. We drafted a starting RB and a starting QB (unless everyone is shocked and Colt wins the job) in the first round of the draft. There's no...

Browns Rookie QB Brandon Weeden Ready To Compete

With their rookie minicamp in the rear view mirror and workouts with veterans set to begin, Cleveland Browns first-round pick Brandon Weeden is ready to compete with veterans Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace for the starting quarterback job, Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer reports. "Absolutely, I think we're just going to compete," Weeden said on Sunday. "Nothing...

Ozzie Newsome: Richardson May Not Even Get to Ray Lewis

What I will tell you is we’ve got a freshman at Alabama that’ll probably make us forget about Trent Richardson already. They’re that good down in Tuscaloosa right now. Trent’s a physical player. So is Ray [Lewis]. They asked [Ravens top draft choice] Courtney Upshaw about playing against Trent, and he said, ‘I think I can get him on the ground.’ That’s what’s fun...

Browns Think Phil Taylor Will Return In 2012

Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor underwent surgery to repair a torn left pectoral muscle today at the Cleveland Clinic, but "everybody's optimistic he's going to have a significant impact on the team this season,'' a league source told The Plain Dealer. The surgery went well, according to the source, and doctors feel everything's gone better than planned...
