The Browns looked really flat last night due to a lot of guys playing who aren’t going to make the team.  Seneca Wallace started at QB last night for the Browns and he didn’t look too good.  He completed 4 of 9 passes for 52 yards.  Jarrett Brown was both good and awful for the Browns last night.  He completed 10 of 15 passes for 92 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 24 yards (6.0 ypc) in this game.  Armond Smith led the way on the ground for the Browns in this game with 47 yards rushing on 11 carries (4.3 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 3 passes for 21 yards (7.0 avg) in this game.  Quinn Porter pitched in with 17 yards on 5 carries (3.4 ypc) in this game.  WR Rob Windsor (3 rec, 55 yards, TD) and Brian Robiskie (3 rec, 39 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Browns.  The Browns finished up with 98 yards rushing on 26 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 14 of 24 passes (58.3%) for 132 yards as they only had the ball for 26:41.

The defense looked pretty bad early in the game before they settled down somewhat.  CB DeAngelo Smith (6 tackles) and LB Archie Donald (6 tackles) led the way for the Browns’ D last night.  LB Austin English (3 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits) and DT Scott Paxson (2 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits) also made some big plays for the Browns on D in this game.  The Bears finished up with 122 yards rushing on 39 carries (3.1 ypc) and they also completed 13 of 23 passes (56.5%) for 127 yards in this contest.  The Browns finished up the preseason with a 1-3 record.

23-year old QB Jarrett Brown looked pretty good against the Eagles last week but he was horrible in his first two preseason games for the Browns.  If he wants to stick around as the #3 QB for the Browns in 2011, he will have to have another solid game against the Bears this Thursday.  Brown has played in all 3 preseason games for the Browns so far and he has completed 5 of 10 passes (50%) for 48 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT (57.5 QB Rating).  Brown has also carried the ball 5 times for 23 yards (4.6 ypc) so far this preseason.  The Browns have to be sure that Brown can handle himself because the Browns started all three of their QBs in 2010.

UPDATE:  (9/4/2011) – The Browns have released Jarrett Brown.

The Browns looked sluggish offensively for most of this game and it hurt them on the scoreboard.  Colt McCoy didn’t look too good last night as he completed 9 of 18 passes for 89 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  Seneca Wallace was better as he completed 3 of 6 passes for 53 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Jarrett Brown looked the best of the Browns’ QBs last night in his attempt to win a roster spot.  Brown completed all 4 of his pass attempts last night and they were good for 35 yards and a TD pass.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 16 yards last night.  Quinn Porter led the way for the Browns last night with 32 yards rushing on 4 carries (8.0 ypc).  Peyton Hillis also looked solid with 3 carries for 18 yards (6.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 35 yards (17.5 avg) last night.  WRs Brian Robiskie (3 rec, 23 yards) and Greg Little (3 rec, 23 yards) led the way for the Browns in the passing game last night.  TE Alex Smith (1 rec, 17 yards, TD) and WR Chris Matthews (1 rec, 4 yards, TD) also made huge grabs for the Browns last night.  The Browns finished up with 103 yards rushing on 20 carries (5.2 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 28 passes (57.1%) for 139 yards last night as they only had possession of the ball for 25:16.

The Cleveland Browns’ backups let them down in this game as the starters looked pretty good.  QB Colt McCoy was solid once again as he completed 10 of 18 passes for 96 yards with 3 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 3 yards last night.  Seneca Wallace was the next QB in and he completed 6 of 8 passes for 40 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 9 yards (9.0 ypc) last night.  Jarrett Brown finished up the game at QB and he looked pathetic once again.  He didn’t complete any of his four pass attempts last night but he did carry the ball 2 times for 9 yards (4.5 ypc).  RB Armon Smith led the way on the ground for the Browns last night with 90 yards rushing on 15 carries (6.0 ypc) with a 81-yard TD run.  He also caught 1 pass for 7 yards.  But, it wasn’t all good for Smith as he lost two fumbles in this game that the Lions turned into TDs.  Brandon Jackson had a hard time last night with 19 yards rushing on 8 carries (2.4 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 5 yards.  TE Evan Moore was the star of the show for the Browns last night as he caught 3 passes for 40 yards (13.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Rookie WR Greg Little also made a mark in this game with 2 grabs for 25 yards (12.5 avg) with 1 TD grab.  The Browns finished up with 135 yards rushing on 22 carries (6.1 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 30 passes (53.3%) for 136 yards as they only had possession of the ball for 23:49 last night.

The Browns gave up a lot of yards last night but they also had to defend some short fields too.  LB Titus Brown (5 tackles), LB D’Qwell Jackson (5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and CB James Dockery (5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) led the way for the Browns’ D last night.  DE Jabaal Sheard also had a good game with a tackle and a fumble recovery that led to a TD.  The Lions finished up with 176 yards rushing on 45 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 29 passes (65.5%) last night.  The Browns are now 1-1 on the pre-season.

The Browns really looked good offensively last night against the Packers.  Colt McCoy was really sharp as he completed 9 of 10 passes for 135 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Seneca Wallace followed McCoy in the game and he was so-so.  He completed 11 of 17 passes for 99 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 13 yards (6.5 ypc) last night.  Jarrett Brown finished up the game at QB and he didn’t look too good.  He completed 1 of 2 passes for 13 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  RB Armond Smith led the way for the Browns on the ground with 10 carries for 41 yards (4.1 ypc).  He also returned 2 kickoffs for 55 yards (27.5 avg) as he was impressive last night.  Brandon Jackson pitched in with 28 yards rushing on 8 carries (3.5 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 7 yards.  Peyton Hillis had 16 yards rushing on 5 carries (3.2 ypc) with 1 TD run last night and he also caught 1 pass for 8 yards.  TE Ben Watson (2 rec, 56 yards), WR Josh Cribbs (2 rec, 37 yards, TD) and WR Jordan Norwood (3 rec, 36 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Browns last night.  Norwood also returned 3 punts for 55 yards (18.3 avg) last night.  The Browns finished up with 124 yards rushing on 32 carries (3.9 ypc) and he has also completed 21 of 29 passes (72.4%) for 240 yards last night.

The Browns still have work to do defensively.  LB Titus Brown led the way for the Browns’ D in this game as he had 4 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and he recovered a fumble that he returned 43 yards for a TD.  DE Brian Sanford (4 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 sack), CB Ramzee Robinson (4 tackles and 2 passes defensed) and CB Raymond Ventrone (4 tackles) also had solid games for the Browns on D.  The Packers finished up with 78 yards rushing on 19 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 28 of 48 passes (58.3%) for 263 yards.

The Browns won this game on a 36-yard field goal by Phil Dawson as time expired.  Colt McCoy lost a fumble on the first snap of the game which led to the Bears only TD last night.  After that though, McCoy was sharp as he completed all 13 of his pass attempts for 131 yards.  Brett Ratliff finished up the game by completing 10 of 15 passes for 93 yards with 1 INT.  James Davis led the way on the ground for the Browns last night with 66 yards rushing on 15 carries (4.4 ypc).  He also caught 5 passes for 53 yards (10.6 avg) last night.  Rookie RB Montario Hardesty pitched in with 7 carries for 25 yards (3.6 ypc) with a TD run before he left the game with a knee injury.  WR Bobby Engram led the way in the passing game for the Browns last night with 6 grabs for 61 yards (10.2 avg).  The Browns finished up with 122 rushing yards (3.7 ypc) and 208 yards passing in this game.

OLB Marcus Benard led the way for the Browns on D with 8 tackles last night.  Rookie safety Larry Asante pitched in with 6 tackles and a QB hit last night.  The Bears finished up with 58 yards rushing (2.6 ypc) and 168 yards passing last night.  The Browns finished up the pre-season with a 2-2 record.

The Cleveland Browns looked pretty good in the first half last night as they led this game 24-14 at the half.  But then they started turning the ball over and the defense couldn’t stop anyone in the second half which is a recipe for a loss.  Jake Delhomme looked very sharp once again for the Browns as he completed 20 of 25 passes for 152 yards with 1 TD pass.  Seneca Wallace wasn’t near as good as Delhomme but he made a couple of nice plays last night.  Wallace completed 4 of 9 passes for 91 yards and he also carried the ball 1 time for 15 yards on a outstanding run.  Colt McCoy’s numbers look good but the Browns didn’t let him throw the ball down the field.  He completed 10 of 14 passes for 76 yards and he lost a fumble that set up a TD for the Lions.  Jerome Harrison did not look too good last night with 11 carries for 34 yards (3.1 ypc).  He also lost a fumble that was returned 14-yards for a TD by Lions’ CB Chris Houston.  Peyton Hillis looked pretty darn good though last night.  He carried the ball 7 times for 26 yards (3.7 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 4 passes for 40 yards (10.0 avg).  Fullback Lawrence Vickers didn’t get any carries last night but he did catch 1 pass for a 5-yard TD.  WR Josh Cribbs (3 rec, 47 yards) and TE Evan Moore (3 rec, 36 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Browns last night.  The Browns finished up with 109 yards rushing (4.2 ypc) and 305 yards passing last night as they had possession of the ball for 34:31.

Rookies (S) T.J. Ward and CB Joe Haden led the way for the Browns D with 5 tackles each last night.  CB Eric Wright had 3 tackles and he recovered a Kevin Smith fumble that the returned 44 yards to the house for a TD.  The Lions finished up with 154 yards rushing (5.9 ypc) and 193 yards passing last night.  The Browns are now 1-2 on the pre-season.

Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace have been outstanding this pre-season for the Browns.  Delhomme has completed 18 of 23 passes (78.3%) for 193 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs (116.1 QB Rating) so far.  He looks in charge when he’s in the huddle and he always seems to throw to the right guy.  Seneca Wallace has completed 9 of 17 passes (52.9%) for 139 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 INT (95.3 QB Rating).  Wallace has also carried the ball 1 time for 16 yards this pre-season.  Wallace isn’t as accurate as Delhomme but he can make big plays with either his arm or his legs.  The Browns have to be happy with Delhomme & Wallace so far this pre-season.

The Browns didn’t lose this game until the 4th quarter when the scrubs were in the game.  Jake Delhomme looked sharp once again for the Browns completing 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards with 1 TD pass.  Seneca Wallace also looked pretty decent as he completed 5 of 9 passes for 67 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 16 yards in this game.  Brett Ratliff looked awful on Saturday Night as he completed 1 of 4 passes for 10 yards with 1 INT.  Colt McCoy had another game to forget as he was 0 for 2 passing and he was sacked twice.  Peyton Hillis led the way on the ground for the Browns in this game with 51 yards rushing on 12 carries (4.3 ypc).  He also caught 2 passes for 12 yards (6.0 avg) in this game.  Jerome Harrison pitched in with 13 yards on 5 carries (2.6 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 32 yards.  Chansi Stuckey (3 rec, 51 yards), Josh Cribbs (5 rec, 30 yards, TD) and Ben Watson (3 rec, 22 yards, TD) led the way for the Browns in the passing game against the Rams.  The Browns finished up with 98 yards rushing (3.6 ypc) and 187 yards passing in this game.

CB Raymond Ventrone (6 tackles) and LB Chris Gocong (6 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 QB hit) led the way of a very inspired performance from the Browns’ D.  The Rams finished up with only 57 yards rushing (1.7 ypc) and 115 yards passing in this game.

The Cleveland Browns pulled out a stunning win last night in Green Bay as Phil Dawson kicked a 58-yard field goal to tie the game with 1:27 left in the game and they he popped a 46-yarder to win as time expired.  Jake Delhomme looked razor sharp completing 6 of 7 passes for 66 yards and leading the Browns to a TD on their first possession.  Seneca Wallace was also sharp completing 4 of 8 passes for 72 yards with 2 TD passes.  Colt McCoy was the one Browns’ QB that looked overmatched last night.  He completed 5 of 10 passes for 25 yards with 2 INTs.  He did carry the ball 2 times for 25 yards (12.5 ypc) so all was not bad.  Brett Ratliff finished up the game by completing 7 of 15 passes for 51 yards.  Jerome Harrison led the way for the Browns on the ground last night with 7 carries for 25 yards (3.6 ypc) with 1 TD run.  James Davis looked solid carrying the ball six times for 24 yards (4.0 ypc).  Peyton Hillis had 2 carries for 3 yards (1.5 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 34 yards (11.3 avg).  TE Alex Smith (3 rec, 37 yards), Brian Robiskie (3 rec, 32 yards, TD) and Mohamed Massaquoi (3 rec, 36 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Browns last night.  TE Ben Watson only caught 1 pass but it went for a 20-yard TD.  The Browns finished up with 85 yards rushing (3.9 ypc) and 211 passing yards last night.

The defense was so-so for the Browns last night.  Rookie 2nd round pick T.J. Ward (S) led the way for the Browns’ D with 9 tackles and 1 QB hit.  OLB Marcus Benard was also all over the place as he finished up with 8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  The Packers finished up with 106 yards rushing (3.7 ypc) and 234 yards passing last night.
