Derek Anderson seems like a much better prospect than Charlie Frye. The arm is so much better, and he appears to have similar amounts of moxie. More later on that...
Anyway, this was a highly enjoyable second half. And the team was inspired. Very nice to see after the last week we've had.
Game Notes 12/5/2006:
- Major props to Steve Heiden. This guy has been a good player for us not for some years, and even if Winslow around he's shown how valuable he is. I hope we keep him for a few more years and he catches many more TD passes.
- I still think Anderson looked like a better prospect than Frye. I am not saying he is better. But he appears to have better tools to work with. Both of them would benefit from sitting on the bench a couple more seasons...
- Beating the Chiefs is the best win of the season. The Chiefs are in the playoff hunt, and Larry Johnson had been unstoppable. LJ got yards but didn't control the game. And, personally, I have no affection for Herm Edwards. Nice to win a game and play hard even at this point in the year.
- Ruben Droughns proved he can still play. He really tore it up at times, and it's easy to forget how good he is as a receiver, especially when he gets little dump-offs underneath where he can navigate the middle of the field.
- Whatever happened to James Harrison?
- Next year's secondary isn't looking too bad right now, even figuring the permanent loss of Baxter.
- Priorities on defense: NT, DE. I can live with our linebackers and hope another year brings improvement.
- The OL really protected the passer well this game. Give them credit. The running game is still hit or miss though.
- Let's not get too carried away -- the Browns competed. The result could have gone either way. This means that, on a good day, the Browns performed like a middle-of-the-pack team. Of course, that is all fans really want, mostly.
- Are we happy with the performance of Jeff Davidson? I guess so...
- I'd like to hear what the Chiefs did to prevent Winslow from getting a catch until late.
- Just like last season, starting a new QB will require the team to focus on the basics and that might be a good thing. Next year maybe we could do this from the get go.
