2010 Cleveland Browns Training Camp: The Secondary Competition

Posted: 5th July 2010 by gary wertman in NFL
When the Cleveland Browns open their 2010 training camp on July 31, no less than four spots in the defensive backfield will be up for grabs. When you are coming off a 5-11 season, no one’s job is safe. Last year, the Browns starting cornerbacks were Eric Wright and Brandon McDonald. Safety Mike Adams replaced the erratic McDonald at corner late in the season. Brodney Pool and Abe Elam manned the safety positions ...

Cleveland Browns: Sometimes No News is Good Thing

Posted: 30th June 2010 by gary wertman in NFL
The time between mini camp and training camp has become pretty boring for us Browns fans. Not much to write about. Not much happening. It hasn’t always been that way. Since Eric Mangini has taken over as head coach of the Browns, there’s not much to write about if it doesn’t happen on the football field. The Browns have pretty much avoided the bad press plaguing a ...
In the physical AFC North division, the Cleveland Browns have been a finesse team with very little success. Under second-year coach Eric Mangini, that’s changing.

No divas among the Browns wide outs. Potential is one thing the Browns pass catchers have and experience from ...
Let me say this, I like Eric Mangini as a head coach and he has done a remarkable job turning around the Browns. I’m not talking about wins—they will come. The changes I’m talking about have to do with the work ethic the team now has and the character on the team. The team now has  heart, and it’s 53 hearts beating as one. At least that’s what I saw ...

Do The Browns Have Enough Talent?

Posted: 11th June 2010 by gary wertman in NFL
The Cleveland Browns have the most talent that they’ve had since their re-entry into the NFL in 1999. Do they have enough talent to win their division? Can they challenge for a wild card spot with the talent they have? Most if not all experts would say no. A lot of luck comes into play in any successful NFL season along with a few  emerging stars. Every ...
