No, I don't mean we are good exactly. But these are the Browns of my youth -- the Browns who are good enough to break your heart. Good enough to beat any team. Good enough to be a threat.
That's what putting in Derek Anderson was all about. Frye was just not a threat to the defense and Anderson is. Not that complicated. Lots of other things in the NFL are, but not that.
Edwards and Winslow are big play guys. When was the last time there were two of those on the roster?
THe defense... well. it's a work in progress. But Wimbley, Jones and some of the other dbs can make some impact plays.
And the o-line... getting better and better. Dominant? No. Passable? Definitely. Above average? Probably. Hallelujah.
I think the Browns can play a good game vs. the Pats. I mean, the Pats are unstoppable, but what are the Browns? They don't care. They've got a nice mix of good players and players who nobody thought would be getting a chance. Namely DA. Go Browns.
