Woo Hoo! With a little luck falling our way, the Cleveland Browns will draft 3rd in this year's NFL Draft. Now, hopefully, we can do something good with this draft. Of recent years, we've historically have not done well on our 1st round picks.
So, I finally got to watch the game on local television yesterday and I must say, damn it was disappointing. I don't even want to go through the statistics anymore of why the Browns sucked yesterday.
Charlie Frye, stop with the interceptions!
Romeo, where is the run defense?
Damn, it's frustrating to watch.
So, I didn't get to watch the game on Sunday, but judging by the score, 17-34, we got a good whoopin'.
Here's the recap of the game.
Nagative Highlighted stats to note:
2 INT
1 Fumble (Lost)
244 YDS of passing, no TDs
57 YDS of total rushing
One bright note was to see that we had 3 sacks and 1 INT.
Our next game is against the Ravens - another tough matchup for the Browns.
Well, the game was close at the end, but The Browns just couldn't pull out a W this week.
I am glad to see that we did look much better in the 2nd half of the game - the 1st half was awful! We couldn't get the ball moving down field at all except for punting - and I can't believe we pitched 3 times in a row on 3rd and short!
Positives of the game:
- Red zone defense. Held the Saints to 3 FGs in the 1st half
- Charlie Frye's ability to scramble and be an offensive option on the ground
- Kellen Winslow shows signs of some real potential
- Improved secondary coverage - Joe Horn was held to only 2 receptions
Negatives of the game:
- Where's the QB pressure? No sacks for the game
- Receivers, hold onto the ball!
- Poor run defense
- And seriously, did we have to make Reggie Bush look that good on his debut game?
Though not quite the same as last year, we'll be watching the last preseason game of the year against our good ol' friends on the other Lake. And to my two Bears friends, "Here we go Brownies, Here we go! Woof! Woof"
