By ChrisPokorny Best Attribute: Commanding the Double Team - With only three defensive lineman in a 3-4 defensive scheme, you need a nose tackle who requires a double team.

By Chris We wrote yesterday about how the Cleveland Browns GM and coaching decisions are affecting the Kansas City Chiefs own search for a GM. Not much has changed since yesterday and it appears that Pioli and the Browns are, in my opinion, unlikely to come to an agreement.

By Joe Zedalis Why it is generally presumed the Cleveland Browns will fire head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Phil Savage the second the season is over, at least one member of the Browns' front office said the organization will not rush into any decisions.

By Paolo Bandini Overall the Browns' offence has produced an average of 80 yards per game less than last season, while their defence is ranked 26th in the league. That is not acceptable for a coach who was brought in on the strength of his achievements as defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

By ChrisPokorny Last season, the only game I chose not to do a game review for was the season finale, a game in which the Cleveland Browns defeated the San Francisco 49ers. All of the anticipation following that game was on the Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans contest -- and after how depressed Clevel...

By ChrisPokorny On September 28th, 2008, the Browns picked up their first victory over the season. That came against arguably the worst team in football, the 0-6 Cincinnati Bengals. On October 13th, 2008, after a long bye week, the Browns picked up their second victory of the season. This time, it came again...

By ChrisPokorny Louis Leonard / Corey Williams: Combined, the pair jumped offsides four times (two a piece). Not only does that give the other team an automatic five yards if they so choose to accept the penalty, it gives them four free plays. In a way, they are the most costly penalties of all for a defensive p...

By ChrisPokorny So, where should I go with the breakdown of this game? The Derek Anderson / Romeo Crennel replacement storylines are so hot right now, perhaps I can offer a take on some of the other issues that happened with the game. So, for the majority of this review, I'll try to hold off "extensive" discus...

By ChrisPokorny Romeo Crennel: It's not the 0-2 record that has him under fire. Instead, it's the fact that the most remedial, yet most critical, aspect of the game -- time management -- is severely lacking for the second week in a row. This week, it was more of a problem because there was a high percentage chan...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) FB – Deon Anderson had a typical day for him. Some good blocks coupled with a few bad blocks, but it’s mostly good. And he contributed on special teams with a tackle. The review of the defense will be up later tonight. But for the moment, bask in the greatness that was our offense against Cleveland.

By ChrisPokorny For the second year in a row, the Cleveland Browns did not fair off too well in their season opener (which also happens to be at home). All offseason, we wanted the schedule makers to give us the same respect that other contenders in the league were being given. For the first game, we laid a big eg...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) DBN: That's a tough one to answer, because we were very good on offense at home last season, but very bad on offense while playing on the road during the first half of games. Either way, Derek Anderson was the least sacked quarterback in football last season, and opposing teams rarely got a go...

By ChrisPokorny Now, bring on the New York Giants. The Browns don't play for awhile again -- until next Monday to be specific. Against the defending Super Bowl champions, it'll be a better test to see our starters get a quarter and a half to a full half of action.

By ChrisPokorny Worst Attribute: Short Yardage Situations - Take this complaint with a grain of salt, because in reality, you can't expect a fourth-and-one handoff to the fullback to work every time. That was the case last year with Vickers, who failed to move the chains twice on fourth-and-short when An...

By ChrisPokorny A year ago in the OTAs and minicamp, Anderson and Quinn were completing 60-65 percent of their passes in drills, etc. Ken Dorsey was tops in the low 70s. They all struggled to learn the new offense. Now, Anderson is in the high 70s, Quinn approaching 75 percent along with Dorsey.

By ChrisPokorny Released earlier in the offseason by the New England Patriots, linebacker Rosevelt Colvin told Sirius NFL Radio earlier today that he has been contacted by several teams. Of those teams, he specifically mentioned the Jets and the Browns on the radio.

By Kirkendall Another positive is the play of our secondary. Not necessarily the results. But the encouragements -- hey Bengals fan here, we look for positives... seriously. Sunday, of the four starters in the secondary, three were rookies. The eldest is 24 years old and the most experienced is only in his sec...

By ChrisPokorny FINAL PREDICTION: Cleveland Browns 31, Cincinnati Bengals 28. This is the official gameday topic for the Cleveland Browns in Week 16 as they square off against the Cincinnati Bengals. All comments regarding the game should be posted in this topic. Enjoy the game, and GO BROWNS!!!

By ChrisPokorny About once a year, I will watch a Browns game and three hours later, I almost get a "that's it?" type of feeling. That's what happened this past Sunday against the New York Jets for the most part. Up until Jamal Lewis' fourth quarter run, which energized the entire city of Cleveland, I felt like...

By nospam@example.com (Ryan Hoover) The game began with a miscue, when Derek Anderson - unpressured - threw the ball away to the left side. He was called for intentional grounding, and the Browns had already set off on the wrong foot. After what appeared to be the beginnings of a nice drive, Anderson threw a pick-6, and then abort...

By Dan Wyar Next week, the team travels to the Big Apple to take on the Jets, who pounded the win-less Miami Dolphins this afternoon. A few weeks ago, the Dolphins upended the Steelers, so I don’t think the Browns will take them for granted like they may have a little bit today with the Cardinals.

By ChrisPokorny For those of you that are confused why so many national media reporters have projected the Browns to finish in the cellar of the AFC North again, re-watch last night's game, particularly the efforts from Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson, and you'll see why.
