Browns' Wright placed on IR

Wednesday, December 20, 2006


Jason Wright, who provided a bit of a spark to the Browns' running game this year, will not play in the final two games because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Wright was placed on injured reserve by the club on Tuesday. His spot on the roster was taken by running back Chris Barclay, who was promoted from the practice squad.

...That's funny. The Browns should care who the fans want to be QB because... the fans have done such a great job of picking out QBs over the years.

Browns fans have as good a track record at spotting football talent as the Browns themselves. :(

Joe "Willie" Namoth could be the starter and the idiot Browns fans would be yelling to replace him with Eric Zeier. I still can't forgive the idiot class for helping to run Bernie out of town... at least he got a ring out of the deal. The whole Holcomb-Couch situation was unbelievable. I hope to god that Smith doesn't end up in that mess, although the fan in me would love to see him on my favorite team.

Personally, I know it won't make a damn bit of difference who is taking the snaps until they get a line that can block.

By Patrick McManamon

Beacon Journal sportswriter

BEREA - The Browns' injury list for the game Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is stretching to epic proportions.
One day after the team placed running back Jason Wright on injured reserve due to a strained knee ligament, it lost tackle Kelly Butler with a broken foot.
Butler, who got hurt Sunday in Baltimore, is the second right tackle to see his season end early. Ryan Tucker was placed on injured reserve in late November.

QB Anderson gets another start
Thursday, December 21, 2006
By Steve Doerschuk REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER

BEREA Head Coach Romeo Crennel says Derek Anderson will make his third straight start. Browns history says the Browns need two competent quarterbacks.

Anderson got his chance Dec. 3 when Charlie Frye suffered (the club says) a deep bone bruise in his right wrist during the first quarter against the Chiefs. In-season quarterback injuries are business as usual for the expansion-era Browns, whose casualty list has included Tim Couch, Ty Detmer, Kelly Holcomb, Jeff Garcia and Trent Dilfer.

Winslow to wait his turn to make Pro Bowl team

Browns tight end plans to work on improving knee in the offseason

By Patrick McManamon

Beacon Journal sportswriter

BEREA - Kellen Winslow said he's not upset about not making the Pro Bowl.
Winslow is second alternate at tight end, behind the two who made the roster -- Tony Gonzalez of the Kansas City Chiefs and Antonio Gates of the San Diego Chargers -- and first alternate Todd Heap of the Baltimore Ravens. None has as many receptions as Winslow's 76.
``Antonio and Tony are well-deserving guys,'' Winslow said Thursday. ``They've been in the league longer than I have, and they deserve the respect. I'm just going to wait my turn.''

Fraley snapped the ball to quarterback Derek Anderson. The kid faked to his left then wheeled to his right. The spin move left Fraley laughing and the kid chasing Anderson.

Cribbs feels he deserved nod for Pro Bowl
Friday, December 22, 2006
By Steve Doerschuk repository sports writer


BEREA Hawaii is a million miles away for even the best players on 4-10 teams.
Cleveland?s most deserving player, Joshua Cribbs, still is disappointed he won?t be flying to the Pro Bowl. Cribbs was nominated not in the return-man category, but as a special-teamer, based on his tackling prowess when the Browns punt and kick off. Using an commando-raid style, he leads the Browns with 24 special teams stops.
