Browns optimistic Phil Taylor will play in 2012

Found May 16, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Phil Taylor
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns
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 first six weeks of the season.  Then the Browns will evaluate him and hopefully he’ll be ready to go, or else they may have to place him on season ending injured reserve.

Cleveland Browns switching to white facemasks?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  May 17, 2012
Browns LB Chris Gocong tweeted a picture of T.J. Ward in his new helmet today. The interesting part of the photo to uni-nerds like myself is that the facemask is white. It seems unlikely that the Browns would be making that switch. First off, if they were going to do so, why not unveil that along with the new uniforms? Second, at the recent rookie camp all the players were wearing...

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

Via WhoDeyFans  |  May 16, 2012
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...

Why The Browns Should Go 7-9

Via Cleveland Browns Report  |  May 16, 2012
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...

Phil Taylor tore his pectoral muscle last week lifting weights and he’ll have surgery to repair it this week on May 16th. The recovery time is expected to be 4-6 months for the 2011 1st round pick out of Baylor. He’ll almost definitely start the season on the PUP and might not play until November or December or not at all if the Browns are predictably out of the mix by that point...

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...
