Browns fans and experts that had us as a playoff team are in shock
over our 4 and 5 start. Browns fans again have sold out the 73,000 seat
Cleveland Browns Stadium, while super bowl quality teams, like the Raiders,
rarely sell out a smaller stadium. Browns fans have been very patient with the
new Browns, but the clock has run out. We deserve and demand more
leadership and guts from the highly paid star players.
Lowly paid players like DE # 90 Mark Word and Tyrone Rogers
seems to have more spark and drive than No. 1 pick, high paid Courtney Brown.
Kelly Holcomb plays better with a broken leg than many starters in the NFL.
Maybe too much is made of the QB value. But I value that position the most. The
QB should be the leader, the motivator and the one that can remain COOL when
the heat is on, not melt.
Here is a ranking of what is right with the 2002
Browns:
10. Courtney Brown is getting better each week, however so painfully
small steps, but the right direction.
9. Offensive line is slightly better
than last season.
8. Rookie RB Will Green, like C. Brown, is slowly getting
better.
7. The Browns usually have great second half game adjustments.
6. The NFL Refs do not call everything possible against the Browns
5.
Jamel White continues to show heart and speed.
4. WR Northcutt has the
confidence to succeed as one of the best return men in the game.
3. WR
Quincy Morgan fights and holds on to the ball to match his speed.
2. Kelly
Holcomb is soon to be healthy again.
1. We play Cincinnati two times each
year! (see you Nov 17!)
This is surely not a boring season, voice your opinion. Call me, e
mail me, but don't give up: Browns fans need to move forward, not dwell on the
past and try to enjoy this season. It may turn for the better! And I wish
Tim and all the Browns the best in the games to come. My aim is true: we want
the best personnel on the field, playing hard and leading the Browns to win
again.
Enjoy the Browns week off (Nov 10) and see you Sunday Nov
17!
Go
Browns 2002!
