Browns | Holmgren showing interest Sat Nov 21, 10:27 AM
Mary Kay Cabot, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports former NFL head coach and executive Mike Holmgren said during an interview with a Seattle radio station that he hasn't talked to Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner yet about joining the organization, but admitted he'd definitely be interested. 'I hope it's true - someday that we get a chance to talk, yea, I have tremendous respect for Mr. Lerner,'' Holmgren said. 'Their team is struggling just a little bit and I absolutely would love to talk to him about working there. But until that happens, you'll be the first to know.''
| Our view: Just like Jim Zorn in Washington, the writing is on the wall for Eric Mangini in Cleveland. There are rumblings that Mangini could be fired this week if the Browns lose to the Lions on Sunday. |
Browns | Jennings seeing more playing time Fri Nov 20, 10:14 PM
Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports Cleveland Browns RB Chris Jennings will see more playing time at the expense of RB Jamal Lewis and RB Jerome Harrison. Jennings saw seven carries in the team's Week 10 game. Lewis had 10 carries and Harrison never touched the ball. Head coach Eric Mangini said, "We wanted to take a look at Chris because I think he's earned a look based on the things that he's done and that was something that we did this past week. If he continues to progress in practice, I think that will continue to be the case." Lewis said Jennings has gotten more reps during practices this week.

However, Cribbs' agent, J.R. Rickert, is upset that the Browns left Cribbs in for the last play of the game and then ran a pointless hook-and-ladder with three seconds left that would not have made a difference in the outcome. 'I can't even put into words how upset I am at them for leaving him in like that,' Rickert said in a text. 'Fortunately, he's doing well.''

Browns | Quinn unable to stretch the field in Week 10 Tue Nov 17, 10:26 AM
ESPN.com reports Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn became just the fourth quarterback in the last 20 seasons to throw 30 or more passes in a game for fewer than 100 yards with no touchdowns and multiple interceptions. Quinn was 13-for-31 for 99 yards with two interceptions in the game.
| Our view: This is the name of the game with Brady Quinn. Coming out of Notre Dame some pro scouts had him as the lowest rated quarterback when it came to accuracy over 15 yards downfield. Quinn is not only unable to stretch the field, but his is unwilling to challenge a defense. A quarterback has to take some chances with the football, and have trust in his arm. It looks like Brady Quinn does not have that much confidence in himself. |
