Cleveland Browns vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Thursday 21 December 2006 at 2:43 pm
The Buccaneers have lost four games in a row while the Cleveland Browns have lost 4 of their last 5 football games…..so something has to give this Sunday.

The Buccaneers will look to run the ball at the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.  The Browns are allowing 144.7 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry so far this season.  Cadillac Williams  (798 yards rushing, 3.5 ypc) has had a rough season so far, but he probably can’t wait to get to Cleveland.  Tim Rattay will start for the Bucs, but this is a move that should have been made a long time ago.  Rattay will be throwing deep to Joey Galloway (52 rec, 905 yards) and short to Ike Hilliard, Maurice Stovall and TE Alex Smith.

The Browns might decide to let Reuben Droughns get a lot of carries against the Bucs, who allow 121.0 yards rushing per game and 3.9 yards per carry so far this season.  The Bucs pass rush has been real bad and the result has been allowing opposing QBs to roll up a 97.3 QB rating.  If the Browns keep Derek Anderson clean and give him time to throw, he could have a huge game.  Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow and Joe Jurevicius could all have huge games this week.

For some reason I think this game will be real high scoring.  Rattay and Anderson could both have real good games against the below average pass defenses that will be on the field.  The QB that protects the football better will win this game.

 

More Browns Luck

I am not one to believe in sports curses of any kind, but as a Browns fan, my beliefs are being tested…heavily.

Rumors are swirling that LeCharles Bentley may miss next season as well because a staph infection as caused some problems in his healing knee, and may require another surgery putting him back on the shelf.

I mean come on….no….seriously….COME ON!

Doesn’t that just suck the life out of you? Here we are at 4-10, just got over losing to the Ravens and going win less in our division for the first time in team history, and we have to hear news about our one offensive player with Pro Bowl experience may already be out for next season too?

Not to sound like a cry baby here, but WHY US!

Hopefully they are what they are - rumors. The Browns just cannot catch a break here recently, in fact, they are catching way more staph infections than breaks, and it’s things like this that really makes you wonder about curses.

I’m not saying there is….but I’m just saying.

Jason Wright out for the season

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Injury Reports by ravenhater on Wednesday 20 December 2006 at 6:05 pm

Running back Jason Wright was placed on Injured Reserve with a sprained MCL and will miss the remainder of the season.  Wright played in 13 games this season (3 starts) and carried the ball 62 times for 189 yards (3.0 ypc).  He also caught 6 passes for 82 yards.

Reuben Droughns will probably get most the carries the rest of the season, but the Browns should consider letting Jerome Harrison get in some carries and see what he’s got.  They really have nothing to lose by giving him a chance.

Browns lose another offensive lineman for the season

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Big Browns News, Injury Reports by ravenhater on Wednesday 20 December 2006 at 6:00 pm

Offensive tackle Kelly Butler broke his right foot in the game Sunday against the Ravens.  He had surgery this morning and was place on the Injured Reserve list thus ending his season.  Nat Dorsey will start in his place this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and rookie Isaac Sowells will be his back-up.

Browns must learn to win in the division

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 18 December 2006 at 7:25 pm

The Browns finished 0-6 in the division and it marked the first time in the history of the franchise that they lost every division game.  The Browns are a solid 4-4 outside of the division, but they will never be factor in the division until they start beating the teams in it.  The Bengals and Steelers are set with good young QBs and the Ravens have that “killer” defense, so it could be hard to make headway in the division.  Also, I’m not sold on Romeo Crennel as a head coach.  He’s now a pathetic 1-11 in the division over his tenure as head coach.  Maybe a change is in order.
