The Cleveland Browns cornerback situation as it exists today
The Browns have a lot of cornerbacks on the roster, believe it or not. Everyone knows about Joe Haden and Buster Skrine at this point, but let’s go over the rest to see just how daunting a task it might or might not be to field a starting backfield with these guys. Remember, the Browns need a starter on the outside opposite Joe Haden and then will need to decide who best fits the...
Final Mock Draft from Mel Kiper says CB Dee Milliner to Cleveland
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. released his final mock draft today, and with the sixth pick he gives the Browns CB Dee Milliner-
“The Browns are really desperate for another corner to play opposite Joe Haden. If they get Milliner, that’s a solid No. 2 option, also allowing them to move Buster Skrine inside to cover the slot, a position where he’s far better. The need for...
2013 NFL Draft: Cleveland Browns Need CB Dee Milliner
The Browns have been in this position before, weak in secondary depth and in big need of a corner back. The used the 6th pick on Joe Haden a few years back, and in a rather weak class, Milliner is likely to be on the board when the Browns are on the clock with the 6th overall pick.The signing of Paul Kruger eliminates the big rush LB position, making Ansah or Werner unlikely picks...

Since Jackson – unlike 4-3 defensive end Frostee Rucker – remained on the roster past Wednesday, February 6th, his $3.6 million base salary is fully guaranteed for the upcoming season.

The Browns waived CB Dimitri Patterson yesterday, supposedly because they were upset about how long it took him to recover from an ankle sprain, and because they were “impressed” with Buster Skrine in his absence.

WFNY Podcast – 2012-12-03 – Craig and Rick talk Browns and fan use of “we”
Rick and I have been talking “offline” about fan use of the word “we” when describing their favorite team. He uses “we” and I do not or at least try my hardest not to do so. Rick and I were wondering if that’s even a compelling topic, but I found it interesting. Let me know if I’m the only one. Additionally we talked about:

Does Buster Skrine Belong In A Browns Uniform & A Look Into The MMA With Bobby Friend Next CS360 Show
The Cleveland Browns just picked up the teams second win in a row despite a host of mistakes by Cleveland Corner-Back Buster Skrine. The one mistake that Skrine made that was completely UN-called for was his hit on a defenseless kick return man who was calling for a fair catch. Correct me if I am wrong, I thought they taught players in high school or even Jr. high school not to hit...

Johnson Bademosi named Browns’ fourth captain
When Buster Skrine went down with a concussion this past weekend while filling in for Joe Haden, the Browns had to turn to the bench once again. Johnson Bademosi (every color commentator’s worst nightmare) was the man up and he did pretty well. Bademosi made the team as an undrafted player from Stanford this season because he could play special teams. Now, he’s been named the...

Cowboys loss was more frustrating than most Browns losses
Browns penalties must be hysterical to Ed Hochuli’s crew
I have a tough time explaining why my frustration levels fluctuate so much throughout a Browns season. Some weeks as the Browns lose, it barely registers on the imaginary frustrate-o-meter in my house. I kind of shrug my shoulders, write about the Browns game on Sunday and just move along with my week. Then other weeks I’m...
