The Cleveland Browns still can’t seem to get back on the winning track after a disappointing, 13-12 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
To be fair, the Browns are still limping along without their top two running backs, making it difficult to find balance offensively.
It also doesn’t help that the team lacks any explosive playmakers, so Colt McCoy has very little to work with.
The Browns only turned the ball over once compared to two for the Rams, but it didn’t seem to matter in the end. ( Read More…)

In the most boring game of the week, the Cleveland Browns held off the Seattle Seahawks for a 6-3 win.
Believe it or not, the offensively challenged Browns are now 3-3 on the season, although that’s only good enough for last place in the AFC North.
Montario Hardesty got the start at running back in place of the injured Peyton Hillis, and after a slow start, finished with almost 100 yards on 33 carries.
If nothing else, it was good to get Hardesty a lot of work against one of the toughest run defense in the entire league. ( Read More…)

Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy made good use of his time off during the NFL lockout.
McCoy spent a few days working out with legendary quarterback Brett Favre, who also spent time in Mike Holmgren’s system.
McCoy said that he wasn’t sure about it, but decided to pick up the phone and give Favre a call.
He said they worked on all kinds of things and also asked Favre a lot of questions. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns have slapped the franchise tag on veteran place-kicker Phil Dawson.
Dawson is a very good kicker and the Browns don’t have many quality free agents, but slapping the franchise tag on a kicker is very telling for the organization.
He has been the only kicker for the club since the city was awarded another franchise by the NFL.
He is the ninth most accurate kicker in NFL history despite playing just off the windy waters of Lake Erie. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns have released defensive tackle Shaun Rogers and five other veteran players.
A number of the veterans were considered favorites of former head coach Eric Mangini, so it looks like the Browns want to clear out the old regime.
Cleveland would like to go with younger players under the new regime, and Pat Shurmur wants to get rid of the dead wood.
Rogers is by far the biggest name that was cut, and he can be one of the most dominant defensive lineman when healthy. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns have hired former Buffalo Bills head coach Dick Jauron as their defensive coordinator.
Jauron spent the past two seasons working with the secondary of the Philadelphia Eagles and was also considered a candidate for their defensive coordinator position.
The move means a drastic change in the defensive schemes for Cleveland, which has been playing a 3-4.
Jauron’s background is in the 4-3 base defense, and that’s the scheme he plans to implement in Cleveland. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns looked like a team ready for the offseason in a 41-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The players recently made it clear that they wanted head coach Eric Mangini to return next season, but they certainly didn’t show it against Pittsburgh.
It was a rough day for rookie quarterback Colt McCoy, who tossed three interceptions against Pittsburgh’s tough defense.
He was also the team’s leading rusher on the day with just 19 yards, which is never a good sign. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns were merely road kill for Big Ben’s return in a 28-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Browns actually hung tough in the early going, even intercepting a pass from Big Ben and striking first with a field goal.
Eventually, Big Ben started to find a rhythm against a Cleveland secondary that has been victimized many times this year.
Cleveland’s offense could not keep pace with rookie quarterback Colt McCoy under center, but he was surprisingly solid in the loss. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns hung tough early but fell apart in the second half in a 20-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Cleveland was putting up a strong fight and seemed to be outplaying Atlanta, but then quarterback Seneca Wallace went down with an ankle injury.
Veteran Jake Delhomme, still nursing an ankle injury of his own, came in and did only what he could do: throw an interception.
The interception was returned for a touchdown, and it essentially ended any hope of a Cleveland win. ( Read More…)

The Cleveland Browns are currently the Kings of Ohio after a surprising, 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
After three straight close losses, the Browns finally ended up on the winning side of a tight ballgame.
Running back Peyton Hillis turned in another fine game, rushing for over 100 yards and finding the end zone.
The defense was shaky at times, but made just enough plays to keep the Bengals out of the end zone. ( Read More…)
