Midseason Report: the Cleveland Browns' Offense (Part II)

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:54:31 -0500

In Part I, I broke down three plays that I felt exemplified the Browns' offensive woes this season. Here, I will break down two plays that did go our way. The Browns may lack explosive playmakers who could allow us a good offense, but by studying exactly what it is that has (and hasn't) worked for us, a solid offensive coordinator could put together a competent offense without any personnel changes. Play 1 After stopping the Packers on 4th and 1 midway through the ...

Midseason Report: the Cleveland Browns' Offense

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 05:02:43 -0500

So far this season, our offense has scored 58 total points, for an average of 8.3 points/game. That simply isn't going to get the job done in the NFL. At times, I have wanted to throw my TV out of my third floor window. At others, I have wanted to lace up my cleats to see if I can run a seam route better than Robert Royal. Why exactly are we so bad? Where do we need to improve? Is there anything positive to take away from our offensive performance amidst the ...

Cleveland Browns So after 4 practices what do we have on offense What do we have at the skilled positions

Sat, 30 May 2009 14:06:36 -0500

QBs: Okay...after 4 practices, apparently Brady Quinn looked the best. However, according to Coach Mangini, Derek Anderson looked good, as well. Then again, since Brett Ratliff knows Mangini's system, I thought maybe he would be leading the pack early in the game. But, that's not the case. Nevertheless, once again, we will have a QB controversy, or is it healthy competition? On our roster, we have 4 QBs: Derek Anderson, who I believe is starting his 5th year; Brady Quinn, 3; Brett Ratliff, 2; and Richard Bartel, 1. We really don't have a QB who is experienced. Will this be a problem? Anyway, I believe Brady Quinn will be given every opportunity to stabilize this position. It will be his to lose. RBs: Jamal Lewis will be our starter, and he should be better behind an improved line. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 2-back backfield, including Lewis and Jerome Harrison. This could limit Lewis's carries, making him an unhappy camper. Supposedly, Noah Herron will take the place that Jason Wright vacated. So, how will rookie, James Davis, fit in? Will he be groomed to take Lewis's place? Lastly, Lawrence Vickers will start at full back, and Charles Ali is a capable backup.

Breaking Point?

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:03:56 -0500

If I told you in August that the secondary would become the strength of the team, what would you expect Cleveland's record to be? 5-1? 4-2? Even though this team is technically only a game out of the AFC Wild Card slot, they are much closer to being the Detroit Lions or Cincinnati Bengals than they are to being a playoff contender. With all of the mess going on with Kellen Winslow's comments, to me the most telling moment was the play in which Derek Anderson and Lawrence Vickers got i...

News and Notes

It looks as if Joshua Cribbs wants to already restructure his contract, one he just signed before the start of the 2007 season mind you. It appears that the Gary Baxter era is all but over in Cleveland.

Has Phil Done It Again?!?

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:27:18 -0500

Seems that Browns GM Phil Savage has a knack for mining that hidden talent pool. Players such as Daven Holly, Derek Anderson, Joshua Cribbs, Lawrence Vickers, Eric Wright, and Brandon McDonald come to mind when thinking of some of Savage's finds in his time here as GM to date. Well early reports seem to indicate that this draft was no different, especially with 7th round OLB Alex Hall, who has done nothing but impress during his time thus far with the club. Hall has been given an opportun...
