Best Brown this season. Arrested. Lovely.

Cavs anticipation

November 1, 2005 / Tim Russo

When’s the last time you had this much confidence about a Cleveland sports team as the season began? That feeling like, you know what, this team is gonna rock. This team is gonna be really good.

For me, I think it was 1986. The Browns were coming off a mediocre year, they lost a frustrating playoff game at Miami in January, and were heading into 1986 with some expectations. I remember a PD column that pre-season which said something like, “this team is going to score a lot of points.” You could just feel that the Browns were going to be a special team that year. They ended up 12-4, and went to their first infamous AFC Championship game against Denver.

That’s the feeling about the Cavs this year. You just know this team is gonna be special. They could win 50 games, and you’d be like, yeah, that’s about right. But if they go and win 60 games, and take the second playoff seed, none of us will be all that surprised.

Pluto on Frye

November 1, 2005 / Tim Russo

Good podcast by ABJ’s Terry Pluto. He makes a good point on potentially starting Frye this week at home against Tennessee. If you give Dilfer one more chance, and he has another bad game, and you want to make a change next week, Frye’s first start would be against Pittsburgh, at Pittsburgh. That’s not a good situation for a rookie Browns QB’s first start.

Braylon wants Frye

November 1, 2005 / Tim Russo

Duh.

Browns top pick Braylon Edwards said Monday that switching to rookie quarterback Charlie Frye — which coach Romeo Crennel is contemplating — would jumpstart the Browns’ beleaguered offense. “I think Charlie would bring a little more life, because he’s younger,” said Edwards. “He’s younger and he has more spunk. He’d be excited and jacked out of his mind to play, so if he came in there, it would be just a different attitude in terms of excitement and energy level, because he’s a young guy [who] would be getting a shot. I think that would be the difference.”

Not sure it’s a great idea for the rookie WR to be weighing in on who the QB should be, but I do agree with Braylon.
