The Cleveland Browns reported that starting quarterback Charlie Frye’s X-rays were negative on his wrist. Although, doctors fear some damage may not have been detected in the tests. Frye looked in pain on Sunday as he cheered the team to victory.
Derek Anderson, the Browns backup quarterback, will get his first NFL start Thursday night against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns will try and keep the momentum they had in the 4th quarter and overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs. If Anderson continues to perform, we’ll have a legitimate quarterback controversy.
Anderson did look poised and able to read to his other routes, but he also appeared to have more time. He did show “nervous feet” on occasion, but kept his focus on the field.
The Steelers are going to throw alot of different looks and blitzes against Anderson, so it is going to be very important that the Brown’s O line be able to at least fake a running game, to set up the passing game.
This time the Steelers will have very little film to study on Anderson so that may be an advantage for the Brown’s. I just hope that the Brown’s show up and rememver the rivalry and the last disappointing loss. This game will in my opinion tell what team the Browns are this year.
at least he got rid of the ball. Frye appears lost when the rush comes in and does’nt know where his outlet receiver is. Anderson is flat out better at this point in time.
