Browns fans and experts that had us as a playoff team are in shock
over our 3 and 4 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, including Brad
Johnson, Tampa's overpaid wonder that had all day to pass in the last Cleveland
game but still missed on many to Keyshawn Johnson, a pro bowl quality WR. But
the buck has to start and stop somewhere, and 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.
10. Pro Bowl LB Jamel Miller's season ending injury in pre-season and
Hambrick's
lack of play to even come close to
Miller's quality.
9. Offensive line is worse than 2001, not better
8.
Rookie RB Will Green's lack of speed
7. Coach Davis has poor game plan
6. Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians poor play selection
5. NFL Refs
continue to call everything possible against the Browns
4. Tim Couch lets a
few Prozac-less fans get to him
3. The defensive can't get to the QB or
stop the run
2. Jamel White is not used enough
1. We don't play
Houston or Cincinnati every week!
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. See you Sunday!
Go
Browns 2002!
