Attempt #8

Offense – they have some core pieces in place to do some things offensively. They have a young, pro-bowl caliber LT in Joe Thomas, promising young WR in Braylon Edwards(shouldn’t even consider a trade), and drafted some potentially great WR’s in Robiskie and Massaquoi. But until Brady Quinn shows he can stop looking at himself in the mirror and make the transition to the NFL, the Browns are still a huge question mark. Jamal Lewis had a comeback year, but that was two years ago and they appear to have no answer to their running game unless former Clemson product James Davis can show something.

2009 Cleveland Browns

General – The Browns are coming off an under-achieving and disappointing reign with another Belichick assistant in Romeo Crennel, so what’s the answer: hire another Belichick assistant! I’m split two ways in Man-Genius(yeah, right): on one hand he took a pretty weak Jets team to the playoffs in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, but on the other hand, he’s been known to be cocky, arrogant, and oversaw one of the biggest final stretch meltdowns in recent memory.

Defense – Besides ILB D’Qwell Jackson I can’t name you one play-maker on that Defense. Shaun Rogers at NT is ok; Willie McGinest was a stud but is on the downslide. Sean Jones is in Philly. Andra Davis is now gone. This looks like a serious re-building effort. While the offense may be solid, the DEF looks to be one of the worst in the league, IMO.

Offense has some young potential, but no running game and a terrible DEF leads to another poor year.

QB #2 later……….

QB #2 later……….

If everything goes well for me, I plan to be back in Atlanta and attending some of the training camp sessions. I intend to follow the competition for the open CB, DT, SS and possibly the LDE position intensely.

The 1st 3 gms of the season will provide a very strong test for our DEF and we’ll have 2 weeks to make whatever adjustments, improvements or correct any problems. The 1st 3 gms will be like an in season preseason that will let us see where we are and what needs to be done to become SB bound. Our real season will be the 13gms/teams we’ll play after the bye week. We can go 1-2 our 1st 3gms, then go 10-3 the remainder of the season and end up 11-5, same as last yr.
