Three plays later Anderson found Edwards for a 5-yard TD, drawing the Browns to within 19-14.

On 2nd and 10 from the Browns 22-yard line, Bengals RB Kenny Watson was stripped by Browns LB Andra Davis. The ball was recovered by Browns LB D’Qwell Jackson, giving the Browns one last shot at the comeback. With 1:48 remaining the Browns started from their own 17-yard line, moving the ball to the Bengals 29-yard line with one second left. On the final play of the game, Anderson was unable to connect with TE Kellen Winslow, providing the 19-14 outcome.

The Cleveland Browns have announced that Warren Lahr (1948-59), Paul Wiggin (1957-67), Walter Johnson (1965-76) and Eric Metcalf (1989-94) are the newest members of the Cleveland Browns Legends based on the combined voting of fans and 10-member panel. All four Legends will be inducted at a special ceremony at Cleveland Browns Stadium during the Browns home game vs. The New York Giants on October 13. The Browns created the Cleveland Browns Legends in 2001 to annually honor former players who have made a major impact on the organization. Players must have been on the Browns’ active roster for a minimum of five seasons. The Cleveland Browns Legends were determined by fan balloting on the Browns’ website – www.clevelandbrowns.com - (weighted 20%) along with voting by a 10-member Legends Panel (weighted 80%). Each of the Browns alumni in the Pro Football Hall of Fame were automatically inducted into the Cleveland Browns Legends. Warren Lahr – DB– 5’11 – 189 lbs – Years with Browns: 1948-59 A staple in the defensive backfield for the Browns for 12 seasons, Warren Lahr finished his storied career with 40 interceptions, landing him second on the alltime franchise list. In 1950, Lahr had his most prolific season as a cornerback, intercepting a career-best eight passes and ran back two picks for touchdowns. The Pennsylvania native followed his stellar 1950 season by returning two more interceptions for touchdowns in 1951 and started a streak of five seasons (19511955) where he recorded five interceptions. A graduate of Western Reserve, Lahr ended his career with 530 interception return yards and five defensive touchdowns and cemented his place in Browns history. Lahr passed away on Jan. 19, 1969. Paul Wiggin – DE – 6’3 – 242 lbs – Years with Browns: 1957-67 Wiggin aided with the progression of the defensive end position as one of the most dominant players of his era on the end of the defensive line. A sixth-round pick in the 1957 NFL draft out of Stanford University, Wiggin was a two-time first-team All-America selection and was inducted into the college football Hall of Fame in 2005. The durable Wiggin was the picture of endurance, playing in every game for 11 seasons in Cleveland. Despite playing his entire career at defensive end, Wiggin recorded three career interceptions and returned his lone interception in 1960, 20 yards for a touchdown. Born in Modesto, Calif., Wiggin returned to his alma mater and coached for three years after a three-year stint as a coach with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Walter Johnson – DT – 6’4 – 275 lbs – Years with Browns: 1965-76 Nicknamed “Zoom” for his notorious quickness off the ball, Johnson was taken by the Browns in the second round of 1965 NFL draft and went on to play every game of all of his 13 seasons in the league. Johnson teamed with DT Jerry Sherk to create one of the most dominant defensive tackle tandems of their time. During his career, Johnson fronted a Browns defense that notched twenty or more forced fumbles in every season he was on the team. Even as an interior defensive lineman, Johnson corralled two interceptions during his storied career and even broke off a 24-yard kickoff return playing special teams in 1972. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Johnson attended Los Angeles State University and ended his NFL career having played in 182 games. Johnson passed away on June 30, 1999. Eric Metcalf – RB/KR – 5’10 – 188 lbs – Years with Browns: 1989-94 An explosive player at the University of Texas, Metcalf was selected by the Browns with the 13th overall pick in the 1989 NFL draft and made an immediate impact. In his rookie season, Metcalf rushed for 633 yards and six touchdowns while also reeling in 54 receptions for 397 yards and four scores. As a kick returner, Metcalf was regarded as one of the most dangerous players with the ball as shown by his 1,052 return yards in his second season, including two touchdowns one of which came via a 101-yard kickoff return. As his versatility increased throughout his career, Metcalf earned back-to-back Pro Bowl selections in 1994 and 1995 before he was traded to the Atlanta Falcons. With 43 career touchdowns from scrimmage and 12 more from kickoffs, the Seattle, Wash., native remains one of the biggest playmakers in the history of the Browns organization. -6-

Zastudil sets franchise record

Hall Shines in First NFL Start

With winds gusting between 40-50 miles per hour on Sunday Sept. 14, against Pittsburgh, the conditions were perfect for a difficult task for kickers on the special teams units. However, Browns P Dave Zastudil established a careerbest 53.0 gross average and 52.8 net average on his five punts for 265 yards. Zastudil’s net average also established a team single-game mark (dating back to 1970) and ranks tied for second-highest net punting single-game average in the NFL. More impressively, Zastudil set the tone early in the contest as four of his five punts came in the first quarter kicking into the gusty winds and his fifth kick came in the third stanza into the wind as well.

Seventh-round pick LB Alex Hall registered a stellar game in his first NFL start. Hall recorded his first NFL sack with a seven yard loss of Ravens QB Joe Flacco. The St. Augustine product posted seven total tackles (four solo and three assists) and added two quarterback pressures. ALEX HALL’S FIRST NFL START VS. BALTIMORE Total Tackles 7

New D-Lineman Set an Early Tone

Prime Time

On Sunday, Sept. 14, against the Steelers, DE Corey Williams posted a careerhigh nine tackles, including six solo and three assisted tackles, for the fifth-year pro. Williams led the team in tackles and also shared a sack with S Nick Sorensen on a nine-yard sack of Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. Since Romeo Crennel brought the 3-4 defensive scheme to the Browns in 2005, Williams’ performance marked only the fifth time since 2005 that a defensive lineman has either led the club or tied for the lead in tackles in a game.

The Browns have five nationally televised regular season games during the 2008 campaign, including three Monday Night (ESPN) contests, one Sunday Night (NBC) game and one Thursday Night (NFL Network) contest. Previously, the most national primetime games that featured the Browns in a single-season was three during both the 1988 and 1989 seasons.

Edwards set a franchise record for receiving TDs in a season (Gary Collins, 1963) with his 14th and 15th TD grabs of the season in the Browns Week 16 contest with the Bengals, before finishing the season with one final TD grab in the victory over the 49ers in Week 17, increasing his franchise record to 16. Edwards also matched his career-high with eight receptions in the Week 16 game with the Bengals, the fourth time he hauled in eight passes in a game in 2007.

Browns WR Braylon Edwards and TE Kellen Winslow became the first duo in Browns history to each record 1,000 yards receiving in the same season. “The opposing defense has to pick their poison, double either myself or Braylon,” said Winslow. “Braylon is good to have as a catalyst on this offense because he is getting open and beating his man. Opposing defenses have to account for both of us on the field and then it creates opportunities for other players.” Edwards became the sixth receiver in Browns history to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark in a single season, setting the franchise record for most receiving yards in a single season. Winslow joined Edwards as the seventh Browns receiver to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark in a season.

Romeo Crennel Press Conference Transcript 9-22-08 (Opening statement)- “I think that everybody understands now that last year is officially over and where we are is where we are. I think that we have to evaluate this year’s team for who we are, how we’re playing right now and what’s happened this year and not look at what happened last year or anticipate that it’s going to be okay because it’s not okay. We’re going to evaluate the team and try to figure out what we need to do to get the team better so that we have a chance to play better and have a chance to win some games. That’s what we started looking at today and will continue to look at as we prepare for the game on Sunday to try to get through that one. As I told you yesterday, it was a game of two halves. The first half we played decent and we had a lead going into halftime and then we come out and the same team did not come out. We made too many mistakes, we put ourselves in a hole, we were on the road, crowd noise impacted us a little bit but if you’re a good team you can work through some of that and we didn’t work through it at all. Before we know it, we go from a 10-7 game to a 10-21 game and that puts us under the gun. It was tough trying to come back and probably affected some of the play calling to try to get the scores back. This is where we are and I think that the thing we have to do is evaluate what we’ve done so far and who can give us the best chance to win, who can go out and play. That’s what we’re going to try to get done the next couple of days here and then we’re going to try to go forward.”

and there are players who have some deficiencies because everybody can’t be All-Pro, everybody’s not a superstar, then we have to try to protect those guys that may be limited for whatever reason. Maybe a guys is limited because of an injury or whatever, we have to try to protect that guy and not put him in situations that will get us beat.” (On Braylon Edwards)- “We coach Braylon up, we talk to him, we council him, we point out to him the correct way to block, the correct angle to take and that you’re not supposed to block in the back. The thing that we try to emphasize is on penalties, they hurt your team and they cause you to lose. We talk about it but evidently we don’t talk about it enough. You can get to the point where you can put the guy on the bench if he continually does that, so that’s what you can do about it.” (On the option of bringing Brady Quinn in the game late against the Ravens)- “As the situation went along it was 10-21 and then it got to be 10-28. We felt like if we could get a score then it’s back to a 10-point game and felt like that DA, because he had all the practice reps during the week basically, probably gave us the best chance. So I decided to leave him in the game.” (On what Derek Anderson needs to do to improve)- “Last year he got every rep in practice, he played every preseason game. This year, he hasn’t been able to do that. Last year he had all the receivers working with him and this year he doesn’t have all the receivers working with him and a key guy that he had last year is not even practicing at all this year. I think all of that goes into it. The offensive line, they don’t have quite as many people as they did last year and the fact that Ryan Tucker was a starter last year and he’s not a starter now because of an injury. We have to work through it and that the challenge of coaching in this league, trying to work through adversity and trying to get your team to play more consistent than we’re playing now.”

(On injuries)- “From the injury standpoint, Shantee Orr, he took a hit in the head but it was just mild. We took him inside, he was okay, they brought him back to the sideline and he should be okay. Derek (Anderson) has a bruise on his forearm, he had a wrap on it I believe. Those were the other things that came out of the game.” (On getting Derek Anderson’s confidence back)- “That’s one of the things I think that maybe several things have to happen. I think the pressure affected him a little bit yesterday so we have to protect better, we have to be better route runners and catch better and then he has to throw better. I think all of those things impacted the results yesterday, particularly in the second half.”

(On the rest of the season)- “I talked to the players just like I mentioned to you already. What we have to do is we have to focus in on getting the guys on the field that give us the best chance to win, guys that will concentrate and focus and play to the best of their ability. Then we have to try to adapt and adjust if a guy is limited for whatever reason to try to limit the tough situations that he’s put in. If we can get that done and be a consistent football team, then that will improve our chances of winning.”

(On evaluating the quarterback position)- “I think we have to look at all the positions. I think that we’ll definitely try to get the other guy ready and get him ready to go and then we’ll see how it progresses from there.” (On the possibility of a change at the quarterback position)- “When you talk about shaking things up, I think what we have to do is we have to evaluate it and do what we think is best for this team to try to win a game. If that’s what it is then that’s what it needs to be, if we decide that. If we decide that that’s not what it is then we have to figure out what we can do to help the position more. We’re going to evaluate it and we’re going to look and then we’re going to make a decision and then we’re going to go with it. Now, where that is, what percentage, I can’t put a percentage on it or anything like that.”

(On Eric Steinbach)- “He is recovering. He is working and we have not ruled him out for this week. We will see how his strength is, if his strength is okay then he will play.” (On what changes need to be made)- “One of the things we do is look outside and we have got some guys coming in to work out today. I don’t know if they are the answer because if they are the answer then they wouldn’t be on the street. We are going to look at those guys and see what they look like and try to go forward and see what we can do to improve the team.”

(On play calling in the second half)- “When you get down 21-10 against a good football team in an adverse situation like that, you kind of feel like you need to get some points back and the quickest way to try to get yardage is to throw the ball. We had a good mix in the first half of runs and passes and we got away from that in the second half and I think the score of the game had more to do with it than anything else.”

(On Quinn starting vs. Cincinnati)- “That determination hasn’t been made yet so I am not going to sit here and say that. I have told Quinn all along that he is one play away and that’s the way he has to approach it. He prepares himself every week like he is the starter and like he is going to get playing time. The number of reps he gets in practice is not up to him, it’s up to us as coaches. I know that he will do everything he can to be ready and when he gets called on I think he will go in there and perform to the best of his ability. We will have to see how good that is.”

(On Jamal Lewis)- “I thought that Jamal ran the ball well. When you look at his totals from the game, I think he had a 4.7 average and that’s pretty good for a running back and that’s pretty good for a running back. When you look at that, you would say that he probably should have carried the ball more. Then, like I said, we come out in the second half and before we know it, it’s 21-10 instead of 10-7. If it’s 10-7, he probably gets more carries but now when it becomes 21-10 then you’re behind in the game, you feel like you need to catch up a little bit and so that changes the play calling a little.”

(On Quinn being considered a rookie)- “I think the year to prepare and get versed in the system helps him defiantly. It’s not like being a total rookie but you still haven’t had the game reps. The game reps are the thing that get you experience basically.” (On Jerome Harrison)- “We had him in the game same. We weren’t able to get the ball to him or call his number. You have to try to see how you can disseminate the ball and who disseminate it to. Jamal is the starting running back so when he is not in there you put Harrison in and he is kind of more of a role player right now. On the screen pass he played his role very well on that particular one. The other times he was in there the ball didn’t get to him in the role that he had to play. Here again, as coaches we are going to have to look to see if Harrison in the game and getting him the ball will help us.”

(On Jamal Lewis’ comments about not getting enough carries)- “Jamal, he played in Baltimore before he got here and so he was ready to play this game and he wanted to go down there and show that he was still the running back that they got rid of and he was a good running back. So he wanted the ball more and I can understand his frustration about not being able to have the ball more, in that game particularly.” (On Derek Anderson’s struggles)- “As I just mentioned it’s a combination of things. When the defense can pin their ears back and come after the quarterback like they were able to do in the second half because of the score, and sometimes because of the yardage, it’s tough for the quarterback because the pocket gets collapsed on him. Then, he has to do try to deliver the ball downfield depending on the coverage and if its man coverage and you can’t get anybody free then you have nowhere to go with the ball. Now the pressure gets to you so you have to move off, your timing is off and now you still have to throw and deliver the ball. All of those things play into it, that’s why I said if you can have a good mix in your play calling, you can help the quarterback a lot more so that they’re not able to pin their ears back. When you get to third and 15, there’s not much mix that you can have there. You have to try to get 15 yards to get the first down so you need to call a play that can give you a chance to get 15 yards and generally you drop back to throw the ball and your opponent knows that and if they’re a good rushing team like the Ravens are, they pin those ears back and they make it tough on everybody.”

(On the defense)- “The first half I thought they did okay. We got some turnovers which was good. In the second half after the score got to be what it was, I don’t think we did as well overall. I thought they kept playing a little bit but we never got them into that third-and-long situation. I think there might have been one of two series in the second half where we got to a third down and got them off the field. They loaded up that offensive line and hammered the ball.” (On the most frustrating part of the season)- “Our inconsistency and not being able to execute the way we need to execute to win. We come out in the second half we got the kickoff and we got a penalty on the kickoff. Then we are backed up and we get penalties to back us up further then you are in a hole and have to try to get out of the hole and you throw and interception. It kind of snow balls a little bit so that is the most disappointing thing. Being as disciplined as we need to be for this team because everybody - players coaches - felt like this team was going to be a good team from what we did last year and we were kind of living off that I believe. Now I wanted to make the point that last year is officially over. It’s over so we are not living on last year. What we did last year will not impact us this year. We need to do a whole hell of a lot better this year.”

(On the challenges the coaches face with an 0-3 team)- “I think the biggest challenge, as I just mentioned also, is that we as coaches have to determine which players are playing good and which players give us the best chance to win. Then we’ve got to get those guys out there on the field. Then, if we have players who have some deficiencies on the team,

Cleveland evened it at 7-7 after QB Derek Anderson found TE Kellen Winslow on a two-yard scoring strike in the second quarter. The Cowboys added two TDs in the second, a 35-yard pass from Romo to WR Terrell Owens and Barber’s second score, to take a 21-7 lead into halftime. Rookie RB Felix Jones scored on his first NFL carry, an 11-yard scamper in the third quarter. K Phil Dawson added a 34-yard field goal for Cleveland in the fourth quarter.
