If those players were still here performing and producing, I wouldn't be here. But those errors were made, and that's a situation we have to get fixed. |
If we can compete with the three teams in our division, we can compete with the other teams in the league. |
If we move two or three spots, that would be one thing, but I can't see us moving into the top five. One of those players would really have to fall out of it and end up at No. 9 or 10. |
If you have a tight end that can get down the middle, then defenses have got to close the middle. When they do that, your outside receivers are one-on-one. It takes away some of the pressure. The other aspect is that if you have a good tight end, generally the quarterback knows where he is and when he gets into trouble he's got a place to go with the ball. That's the big value. |
In my opinion, there's a lost generation of Browns fans out there, |
In my opinion, there's a lost generation of Browns fans out there. They haven't enjoyed the feel-good atmosphere of having a quality, winning product. That is really our objective. |
In my opinion, with Reggie Bush, maybe it's a case that less is more and more could be less. He can still be a Heisman Trophy winner at the pro level even touching the ball 15 times a game. |
It's a real nice statement from the Browns to the rest of the league and our fans that we're serious about wanting to win. And we want players who want to be here. |
It's kind of like Christmas. It's on Dec. 25 and then all of a sudden they say, no, it's Jan. 3 this year. A hurry-to-wait type scenario. |
It's one of your impact positions, that left tackle spot. In our eyes it's almost a skill position in terms of the abilities it takes to play out there. |
It's the meat and potatoes of scouting for a 3-4 defense. |
Miami this year had an incredible team down there, ... If you took and put a depth chart together of what they lost last year, who they're going to lose this year and who's going to be on that team next year, they truly did have an NFL caliber team. There's no two ways about that. |
Orlando fits the 3-4. He's a physical, inside backer. We felt we needed a guy who had more bulk. He worked out and we said we'd give him a shot. |
Our intent from the beginning was to combine free agency with the draft to make us a better team for 2006 and hopefully beyond that. |
People recognized he clearly had the team on his back and he seemed not to flinch in that situation, Some of the decisions he made, the throws he made and the overall leadership you look for in a quarterback is what I saw. You felt like he was able to excel in all those areas. |
