  • Savage's draft record

    When last I wrote about the 2007 Cleveland Browns, I called upon GM Phil Savage to get busy fixing what ails this club, particularly its perpetual inability to defend the run. It is commonly known Phil loves to scout collegians and that an inordinant...
  • Little you don't already know

    One tries to have something illuminating to share before commencing commentary on a Sunday setback such as the Browns absorbed in Oakland the other day. However, those of you with functional eyesight had displayed for yourselves all that is the current...
  • The axiom.

    Among football coaches, the axiom is a team is not always as bad as it looks when it loses or as good as it looks when it win. That statement is one for Browns' fans to keep in mind when they contemplate this weekend's contest on the left coast...

    With the 2007 NFL opener just hours away for the Cleveland Browns, the preponderance of significant personnel questions disturbs. Though it is indisputably true GM Phil Savage and his henchmen have enhanced a needy roster, too many questions remain, most...
  • NFL cuts; one man's garbage...

    There were not, at least as yet, too many surprise cuts around the NFL this weekend, at least insofar as recognizable veteran names are concerned. Predictably, the list consists primarily of young no-names, but such are the dreams of personnel departments...
