A few characteristically unminced words from Tony Grossi’s chat today on the Browns positional battles: With ILB Chaun Thompson on the sidelines with a calf injury, “I really believe he’s never gonna get back in there as a starter again.” Second-round pick D’Qwell Jackson will take his place. “I think he is the real deal, […]
Lots of words written lately about the Browns’ recent quarterbacking history and our current prospects. How we could have had Kurt Warner in the 1999 expansion draft. How we should have drafted Tom Brady over Spurgeon Wynn when shopping for a QB prospect in 2000. How our assortment of #1 draft picks, former Pro Bowlers, […]
Very nice to see that nearly all of the Browns’ rookies are getting their contracts done in time for the beginning of training camp. It wasn’t so long ago that every single one of the Browns’ draftees was a holdout. From the Official $ite: The nine signed draft picks and other Browns rookies began participating […]
Gotta feel good about getting Gumby into camp on time. And much of the credit, obviously, goes to Kamerion’s agent, Joe Linta.Check out Linta’s website. Its intro is the ESPN video of Wimbley being drafted. Inside, you’ll see that Linta also represents Romeo Crennel, Joe Andruzzi, and Dave Yovanovits. You’ll recall that the timely hiring […]
Where is my head? Oh, never mind. This time, I don’t want to hear the response. There I was, blithely blogging during business hours about the birthday of a pretty obscure former Brown, Barry Redden. But sure enough, today is also the birthday of no fewer than three members of the current squad. If you […]
Interesting how Zac at the official site twice goes out of his way to put ‘Cutch atop Bodden in the battle for the starting cornerback job opposite Gary Baxter. Bodden is “certainly a key player on the Browns’ defense even if he doesn’t technically win a starting job.” “not likely to start in the base […]
Just so I can get my head right amid the sensational personnel swirl of the last week, I’ve made a list of the moves Phil & Friends have made (and haven’t made) since last July, or at least those which have the most significance from this point forward. (updated on 7/11) Marquee addition: C/G LeCharles […]
Every year there are training camp surprises. This pre-camp post will set forth the baseline — that is, what might happen if everything goes according to form. This way, when some youngster shines, or when someone gets hurt or traded or cut, we’ll be able to assess the impact on the roster, project the winners […]
Maybe I’m a little slow, but I just realized how unusual it is to have a different Opening Day starting quarterback five years in a row. That’s now a certainty for the Browns: 2002: Tim Couch 2003: Kelly Holcomb 2004: Jeff Garcia 2005: Trent Dilfer 2006: Charlie Frye (projected) I’m sure some reader is more […]
