Jurevicius eager for new start with Browns
By Sean McClelland
Staff Writer
Thursday, August 30, 2007
A year ago, Joe Jurevicius was more or less just happy to be here. He was back home, poised to help resuscitate the team he had grown up rooting for in suburban Cleveland.
It didn't quite work out. The Browns went 4-12.
But now, with the novelty worn off and a realistic offense in place, Jurevicius thinks he can be more of a presence.
"Leadership is something I'm going to relish this year," he said.

QBs play on unsure ground Frye, Anderson to go in tonight, could be cut Saturday

Published on Thursday, Aug 30, 2007
BEREA: The secrecy and the evasiveness and the coin flips have to be wearing thin.
After practice Tuesday, when the Browns' top three quarterbacks were asked to briefly address the media, Derek Anderson wanted no part of it. He headed to the locker room, either content that Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn could handle the interviews, or figuring their sound bites were what everyone was seeking, anyway.

Cleveland Browns seek answers before final preseason test
Thursday, August 30, 2007Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
The Browns will use their preseason finale tonight in Chicago to answer questions heading into the final cuts on Saturday and the opener Sept. 9 against Pittsburgh.
Besides deciding on a starting quarterback, the team has issues at other positions, including third receiver, third cornerback, third tailback and punt returner. They must also address their still-porous run defense and hope some of their injured players return by the opener.

Browns' McGinest still true to Poly
Thursday, August 30, 2007 Bob Fortuna
Plain Dealer Reporter
Browns linebacker Willie McGinest is one of the many Long Beach Poly, Calif., graduates who went on to play for the University of Southern California, then moved on to the NFL.
"I had a good time at [Long Beach Poly]," said McGinest, 35, who began his NFL career with the New England Patriots. "We had some very good teams, but when our marching band came out to perform, it was really something to see."
McGinest was an all-state selection in football and basketball at Poly before graduating in 1990.

Browns to use Tucker at different spots

CHICAGO Imagine learning to the play the tuba after training on the violin.
?It?s something like that,? Ryan Tucker laughed.
Tucker has been the Browns? starting right tackle since 2002, but his four-game suspension for steroid use forced the Browns to move Kevin Shaffer to right tackle and groom Kelly Butler as the backup ? at least until Tucker returns.

Final preseason game means more to Browns
JEFF SCHUDEL, Morning Journal Writer
08/30/2007
CHICAGO -- Romeo Crennel does not always follow tradition in the preseason, so it is no surprise the Browns head coach is not taking a conventional approach tonight to the final practice game of the summer.
Normally starters in the final preseason game play a series or two, just enough to keep an edge, then they retire to the bench and start thinking about the first opponent for the regular season. For the Browns, that means the Steelers on Sept. 9 in Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Browns: As opener looms, run defense filled with holes
Thursday, August 30, 2007 3:26 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Mark Duncan Associated Press
Running back T.J. Duckett of the Lions ripped through the Browns defense in the second exhibition game, and the problem got worse last week in Denver.
BEREA, Ohio -- With all the attention paid to the quarterbacks, a dirty little secret that has haunted the Cleveland Browns for quite some time is going unnoticed.
Cleveland's run defense this preseason has looked similar to last season's, which ranked 29th in the NFL during a 4-12 campaign. The Browns will face another run-oriented team tonight in their final exhibition game against the Chicago Bears.
