NOSE SMALL MATTER

Don't know if he'll amount to much, but it was nice to see that the Browns signed a nose tackle this week. Louis Leonard, a rookie released by the Chargers and Rams, shares his names with two of the greatest boxers in history and weighs roughly as much as both of them combined. By now it's...

CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE

What's a blogger fan to do when the defensive line is even more of a liability than the much-discussed quarterback position? I actually hold out more hope for injured Orpheus Roye than I do for Mt. Washington, the oldest and heaviest defender in Browns history. The newcomer Smiths might be halfway...

LIKE 1984

According to the ratings system devised over at the P-F-R blog, the 1984 Browns rank first among all teams since 1970 in the inequality of their offense and defense, among teams with better defenses than offenses. In other words, no team since the merger had a better defense compared to their offense...

THE LAST BADGER

The last time the Browns drafted anyone from the University of Wisconsin, Joe Thomas hadn't even been conceived. Eight-nine Badgers have gone off the boards to other teams between the Thomas selection and the Browns' sixth-round pick in 1983: tight end Tim Stracka. I caught up with Stracka this...

ANSWER ME THIS

I'm not quite sure why, but I'm keeping track of certain statistics achieved by the Browns since their 1999 resurrection. Perhaps it's a consolidated reminder of how god-awful this era has been, like the transcript of a hapless student. Or maybe it's because I haven't seen anyone...

REPLACEABLE

By way of the outstanding Mistake by the Lake Sporting Times blog, we learn that Derek Anderson's craptastic response to RAC's encouraging words ranks as the worst passing performance in the eight-year history of the "new" Browns, as measured by DPAR (Defense-adjusted Points Above Replacement...

ADD IT UP

The last time the Browns scored more than 26 points in a game was the 58-48 loss to the Bengals on Nov. 28, 2004, the last gasp of former potentate PHD (Paul Hilton Davis, for the newbies). The Browns have yet to score on defense in the Crennel era, but their last two interception returns for touchdowns...

THREE-LAYER CAKE

Big day of Browns birthdays today: The great Bill Willis -- Hall of Famer, original Brown, and pioneer of what became the middle linebacker position -- celebrates his 85th. Also, Bobby Franklin turns 70 today. Paul Brown converted the former Ole Miss QB into a defensive back, and he picked off eight...

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO...

Browse the Browns' weekly media release long enough, and you too might realize these strange things: In all four of the Browns' exhibition games, the winner scored 20 points. The Browns have opened their season with the Saints twice before. Each time (1968 and 1987), Cleveland ended up winning...

GHOST OF BROWNS PAST

Jerome Harrison's exciting performance in yesterday's win over the Lions has Browns fans chattering. Some have compared him to Eric Metcalf, but that's not particularly apt. Maybe the excitement of watching Harrison run reminded them of feelings they could trace to Metcalf's days. Or maybe they're just...
