New D-Lineman Set an Early Tone UNDER THE CENTER

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.

Since 1999, the Browns have had ten different starting quarterbacks. Since 1999, the Browns opening day starter at QB has included Ty Detmer (1999); Tim Couch (2000, 2001), Kelly Holcomb (2002, 2003), Jeff Garcia (2004), Trent Dilfer (2005), Charlie Frye (2006, 2007), and Derek Anderson (2008).

15 new to team

Browns Name 2008 Captains

Romeo Crennel’s 2008 squad features 38 players from last year’s squad and 15 new players to round out the 53-man roster.

Browns Head Coach Romeo Crennel named LB Willie McGinest, LB Andra Davis, QB Derek Anderson, C Hank Fraley, K Phil Dawson and KR Joshua Cribbs as team captains for the 2008 season. The players were voted upon by their teammates.

Defense (9): Starters DT Shaun Rogers and DE Corey Williams; veterans DB Terry Cousin, DB Travis Daniels, LB Shantee Orr and DB Hamza Abdullah; and rookies LB Beau Bell, LB Alex Hall, DB Gerard Lawson, DL Ahtyba Rubin and DE Santonio Thomas.

McGinest (15th season) and Davis (7th season) will serve as defensive captains, Anderson (4th season) and Fraley (9th season) will serve as offensive captains, while Dawson (10th season) and Cribbs (4th season) as special teams captains.

Offense (4): Starters OL Rex Hadnot and WR Donte’ Stallworth; veteran OL Scott Young; and rookie TE Martin Rucker.

Each NFL club will have team captains wear a captain patch on their uniform. The idea came from NFL players during a meeting of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s new Player Advisory Council last season. The purpose of the program is to support and recognize the importance of team leadership through the role of the captains. Captains traditionally serve as a link between players, coaches and management to help foster cohesion within the teams.

Only K Phil Dawson remains from the Browns original 1999 roster. Also, only seven players remain from prior to Romeo Crennel and Phil Savage joining the Browns following the 2004 season: Dawson, LB Andra Davis, TE Steve Heiden, S Sean Jones, LS Ryan Pontbriand, OL Ryan Tucker and TE Kellen Winslow.

Defense Grounds Bengals Running Attack

Zastudil sets franchise record

The Browns defense limited the Bengals to just 69 yards rushing in the Browns 20-12 victory on Sept. 28. The 69 yards rushing was the least amount that the Browns have allowed since Romeo Crennel brought the 3-4 defense to Cleveland in 2005.

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.

Browns Honor AAFC Championship Teams The Cleveland Browns will host a special halftime tribute this Thursday night when the Browns host the Denver Broncos to the 1947, 1948 and 1949 All American Football Conference Championship teams, which posted a 29 game unbeaten streak. The Browns originally joined the AAFC in 1946 and won the championship in each of their four seasons in the AAFC before joining the NFL in 1950. The Browns 1948 team went undefeated with a 14-0 regular season mark and won the championship with a 49-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 19, 1948. The Browns had a 29 game unbeaten streak beginning on Oct. 19, 1947 thru Oct. 2, 1949.

Hickerson passed away Oct. 20 at the age of 73. Hickerson joined the Browns as a seventh-round draft choice out of Mississippi in 1957. His 15-year career, all with the Browns (1958-60, 1962-73), ended in 1973 as he played in 202 games, which ranks fourth highest in franchise history, including a streak of 165 consecutive games, which also ranks fifth longest in team annals. He appeared in six Pro Bowls (1966-71) and was voted an all-league selection on five occasions (1966-70). Hickerson was named the NFL’s most outstanding blocker in 1969 and throughout his career was part of an offensive line that paved the way for three Hall of Famers, legendary running backs Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell and Leroy Kelly.

Players from the AAFC Browns in attendance will include WR Dub Jones, WR Dante Lavelli, RB Ara Parseghian, DE Zeke O’Connor, DT Ben Pucci, C Mo Scarry and QB George Terlep.

“Everyone associated with the Cleveland Browns is saddened by his loss,” said Browns Head Coach Romeo Crennel. “His tenacity as a blocker and toughness as a player epitomized what it is to be a Cleveland Brown. We send our thoughts, prayers and condolences to the Hickerson family.”

NEW FACES

2008 Browns Legends

Once again the Browns were busy during free agency. Not only did Cleveland ink several new players, but they also made several key trades to help the continued improvement of the team. Below is a recap of the Browns free agency activity:

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 were inducted at a special ceremony at Cleveland Browns Stadium during the Browns home game vs. The New York Giants on October 13.

Name (Old team): How acquired DL Corey Williams (Green Bay): Trade (2008 2nd round pick)

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.

• Played in 56 games for Green Bay and totaled 156 tackles and 17 sacks. Has recorded seven sacks in each of the last two seasons. In 2007 with the Packers, Williams played in all 16 games, including nine starts, and totaled a career-high 51 tackles, seven sacks for 38 yards, one interception for nine yards, three forced fumbles and one pass defended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Smith Has Career Year with Browns

Williams Sets an Early Tone

DL Shaun Smith recorded a career high 63 tackles in his first season as a member of the Cleveland Browns during the 2007 campaign. Smith also registered his first two career sacks and finished with 4 QB pressures and one forced fumble.

Against the Steelers on Sept. 14, DL Corey Williams posted a career-high 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.

Romeo Crennel Press Conference Transcript 11-3-08 (Opening statement)- “We lost a division game yesterday that we were hoping we could win. We had a 14-point lead in the second half and we couldn’t hold the lead. We should have been able to win a game like that with a 14-point lead. Defensively we encountered some problems for whatever reason, I’m not exactly sure. They were able to run the ball on us, some of it had to do with over-pursuing because some of the runs were cutback runs. They made the plays and we’ve got to do something to see if we can seal that up. Offensively we were unable to get anything going in the running game or in the passing game so that combination hurt us and didn’t allow us to take advantage of some field position that we got in the second half that we didn’t have in the first half. The bright spot in the game, if there is one, is Josh Cribbs. I think Josh tried to take the team on his shoulders and tried to lift them up and do it all himself and he just didn’t have enough help. On kickoff returns and punt returns he was tremendous, on coverage he was tremendous and he tried really hard to help this team win. Everybody else, they weren’t able to play at the level that he was playing at which is unfortunate because that’s what we needed. This team that we have is a team that when they play as a team, everybody plays together, everybody makes a contribution, and they play pretty good. We have to hit on all cylinders and when we’re not hitting on all cylinders, we don’t do enough to win the game and yesterday was evident of that. We’re going to still work, we’ve still got eight games to play. We don’t know what’s going to happen but we’re going to play them and we’re going to play them more consistently than we did yesterday. Overall, they started off the game reasonably, trying to make some plays and had some bad field position early but they hung in there. Josh got us started, we were tied at the half, tied in the fourth quarter and then we couldn’t finish. The coaching wasn’t good enough, the playing wasn’t good enough and that’s why we’re 3-5 now. We’re going to see what we can do to try to change things around for the last half of this year and see if we can flip the script, if nothing else.”

(On Joe Jurevicius and Donte’ Stallworth)- “I think that we know what Joe brought to the team last year. He was a consistent player, possession guy, third-down guy, red-zone guy that was where he was supposed to be and he was going to catch the football. That’s a valuable asset for any quarterback and when you don’t have that it hurts you a little bit. We haven’t had him this year at all so we had to adapt and work around it. With Donte’ not being there, he strained a muscle last week and it wasn’t quite ready so I made him inactive for the game and hopefully he’ll be ready on Thursday.” (On Joe Jurevicius playing in 2009)- “Joe is a professional, first of all, and he’s a team player also. The reason that he came to Cleveland is he wanted to play for the Browns. He’s a hometown guy and he wants to go out on a good note. When he finishes his career he wants it to be in a Brown uniform in front of the home fans and hopefully with winning football. That’s what he wants and I think that’s why he working so hard to try to get ready and be available for next year. I think that would top off his career in the right way as far as he’s concerned. I know that he’ll do everything that he can to get himself ready to go and try to be a productive member of the Browns.” (On player availability after a loss)- “The NFL says that players have to be available. If they’re available, I think that satisfies the rule. Whether they talk or not is kind of up to them. I think as you look around the league you see different guys and different approaches to whether a guy will talk after a loss or not. I try to speak for them but I can’t say everything for them. With Kellen, I think that’s a little bit different situation because he talked to you and he got into a little trouble. I think he’s trying to temper it a little bit and not get in any more trouble and not put himself out there as much. I think that thing that everybody wants to see is the guy performs on the football field. If he performs on the football field, you’d like to talk to him and you’d like for him to talk to you but if he doesn’t, you don’t mind as much if he performs. If he doesn’t perform, then you’d like to know why he’s not performing and you’d like for him to talk to you. I think that, for the most part, the guys try to talk to you and they will talk to you but every once in a while a guy gets to a point where he knows that he made a mistake and he just doesn’t feel like talking about it at that time. Maybe he feels like if he had more time to cool off or if he had overnight to think about it then the next day would be a better day. That’s the only thing I can tell you.”

(On Eric Steinbach)- “Steinbach had a rib, they’re doing an MRI and we don’t have the results of that as of yet. When we get those results, we’ll know more and we’ll let you know more.” (On declining the holding penalty on third-and-10)- “We thought about pushing them back at that point but we had been struggling a bit defensively. You push them back and you give them another play and they were already in field goal range so we felt like they were going have the opportunity to kick the field goal. Rather than give them another play, we felt like we would decline the penalty and force them to make a decision.”

(On the Ravens converting on third-and-16)- “The odds are on your side defensively because it’s third and 16 and you’d like to think that you can keep them from making those 16 yards on third down. Sometimes you come close and other times you don’t. Our guy was diving at the ball and couldn’t quite get there and they completed it. You could change the call, you could blitz them and be one-on-one in the back end with no help as we were on one play and we slipped down and let the guy run for a touchdown. There’s some give and take and the coordinator decides what call he wants to make and tried to take that all into consideration. He makes the one that he thinks is best for that particular moment and it didn’t work yesterday.”

(On the Terrell Suggs interception)- “If Suggs is standing there like that and there’s no pressure on DA, then he pulls it down and goes somewhere else with it or just throws it away. The problem on that play was (Haloti) Ngata was coming from the other side and he was on top of him so then he threw to where the back was, the back didn’t quite get to where the ball was and Suggs was there and he ran it in for a touchdown. (Jason) Wright is going to turn around and have a chance to catch the ball but he doesn’t get turned around quite quickly enough and the pressure is on him. Either he’s going to take the sack, which in that situation in the game you really didn’t want to take the sack. If you were going to do anything, you’d rather throw the ball away so that you don’t lose the yards. He felt like that back would be there to make the catch on that ball and I think the pressure didn’t allow the time to read the coverage, per se, to know exactly what the coverage was.”

(On not finishing games)- “Well it’s a different team (from last year). We’ve got some guys in there who are still learning, situations are different, stresses and pressures are different and we’re learning to handle them, we just haven’t learned them well enough yet.” (On the cornerbacks)- “I think some of the times that our leverage and technique on the receiver could have been better. Then we got one ball thrown over our head, we fell down on another ball so some of those things happened during the course of the game. I think if we were a little bit more consistent on our technique and leverage on the receiver, maybe we could have forced them to throw the ball somewhere else, maybe not inside because they caught a couple balls inside that normally we don’t allow. If they’re going to throw it and catch it, we’d rather they throw it and catch it outside. I think sometimes they feel like they need to change up their technique because they don’t want to show the guy the same thing all the time. For instance, if you’ve been playing inside technique, sometimes they think ‘well I need to show this guy outside leverage rather than inside leverage to keep him guessing’ but a lot of times those good receivers can get inside and catch the ball on you. Then you’re thinking about if they should have been inside and yes, they should have been inside but they were outside. Sometimes I think that happens, they try to change it up when they really don’t need to change it up.”

(On Braylon Edwards and possibility of benching him)- “We keep him at practice, we’ve done concentration drills, we talk to him, we get him on the juggs (machine). He stays after as well and we’ll keep working at it to try to get him more consistent as far as that goes. I think that any team, if you have good competition that allows you maybe to sit somebody down, I think that can have an impact. I think you have to look at your situation and determine what you think is best. ” (On the short week before the Denver game)- “The short week is always tough. I don’t know how much you take that into consideration, you do what you think you need to do. Really you only have two practice days. They’re in here today but they just played a game so we’re not going to do much today other than watch some Denver stuff. Then you’ll practice tomorrow and you practice Wednesday, which is the day before the game and usually they don’t do much the day before the game other than a walk through, so you’ve got Tuesday, Wednesday and you play on Thursday. That condenses everything down and you’ve got to get a lot more done on your practice days. Usually you’ve got Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to get all your phases in and get them all looked at in practice. Now you’re got Tuesday and Wednesday to try to get that done and on a spedup basis.”

(On Sean Jones missing an open-field tackle because of his knee problems)- “Well I hope that’s not the case. Well, maybe I should say I hope that is the case for him to miss a tackle like that one-on-one. Generally he’s a better tackler and as I watched that play, it looks like rather than being really aggressive and going and taking the guy on, he tried to back off a little bit which gave the guy an opportunity to stiff arm him and get up the sideline. It was just poor tackling technique, it didn’t look like him.”

(On the effects of Braylon Edwards’ drops on Derek Anderson)- “Hey, we all wanted him to make that catch. That would have definitely helped us and would definitely have lifted everybody. If the play is not made, you have to put that one behind you and go onto the next one. It’s like in golf, if you play golf and you let one bad shot carry with you than all the rest of your shots are bad shots. You’ve got to put that one behind you and play the next one. Like I think I mentioned before, when his supporting cast does well then he has a better chance to do well and when they’re not doing as well then he’s not doing as well.”

Dallas jumped out to a 7-0 advantage after RB Marion Barber’s first of two 1 yard touchdown runs. 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.

The Steelers got on the scoreboard first after QB Ben Roethlisberger found WR Hines Ward for an 11-yard strike in the second quarter.

October 19, 2008 FedEx Field, Landover, Md.

Cleveland earned its second win of the season as the Browns offense rolled to 454 net yards of offense and the defense forced three interceptions in a 35-14 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Giants on Monday Night. In the contest, the Browns jumped to an early lead with K Phil Dawson’s 28 yard field goal and RB Jamal Lewis’ 4-yard TD run opened a 10-7 second quarter lead. The Browns extended the lead with QB Derek Anderson’s 22-yard TD strike to TE Darnell Dinkins, however Giants QB Eli Manning connected with Plaxico Burress on a 3-yard TD pass to cut the Browns lead to 17-14 at the half. In the third stanza, Dawson extended the lead with a 26-yard FG and WR Braylon Edwards converted an 11-yard TD pass from Anderson on the first play in the fourth quarter to open a 27-14 cushion. In the 4th quarter, DB Eric Wright picked Manning’s pass attempt and returned the interception 94 yards for a TD, the fourth longest in club history, for the 35-14 final.

The Redskins used two second half touchdowns to down the Browns 14-11 at FedExField. RB Clinton Portis found the endzone on a three-yard touchdown run and an 18yard touchdown toss to WR Santana Moss opened up a 14-3 Washington lead. In the fourth quarter, the Browns mounted a comeback with a one-yard touchdown pass from QB Derek Anderson to WR Joshua Cribbs and converted a two-point conversion attempt to WR Braylon Edwards with 2:44 remaining in regulation. The Browns defense forced the Redskins to punt and provided the Browns offense one more opportunity. Anderson led the Browns in six plays down to the Redskins 36 yard line to set up a 54 yard game-tying field goal attempt by K Phil Dawson which missed wide right with 25 seconds remaining. In the contest, Anderson was 14 of 37 passing for 136 yards and one touchdown and RB Jamal Lewis rushed for 80 yards on 19 carries (4.2 avg.). Edwards led the club with four receptions for 58 yards (14.5 avg.).
