Browns coach not ready to hail improved club's arrival just yet
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
BEREA, Ohio ? Usually, it's the coach who's on the receiving end of an ice-cold celebratory bath. On Monday, Romeo Crennel dumped a frosty bucket of reality on the Cleveland Browns.
Sunday's 27-20 comeback win over the injury-crippled and winless St. Louis Rams gave the Browns (4-3) several more reasons to feel good about themselves in an unexpected season of surprises. The victory was:
_ Cleveland's first on the road in 2007.

Browns fans climb aboard Surprising turnaround is reason enough for fans to get excited
Published on Tuesday, Oct 30, 2007
BEREA: It might be time to strike up the band.
Then go in the garage and dig out the kids' wagon.
The Browns are 4-3 with a very legitimate chance against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend to go 5-3. Imagine that, the Browns on a pace to win 10 (that's 10, count 'em) games this season.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson flourishes

Plain Dealer Reporter
Browns assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer on Monday defended the Browns' decision to open the season with Charlie Frye at quarterback instead of Derek Anderson.
"When you're fighting the heavyweight champion, you have to knock him out, and that didn't happen," Scherer said of the quarterback competition during training camp. "Given the way the preseason transpired and the length of time we gave them, it seemed like the right thing to do."
Anderson now is second in the NFL with 17 touchdown passes behind Tom Brady's 30 and sixth in the league with a 95.5 rating.

Cleveland Browns enter a strange new world on offense, says Bud Shaw
Tuesday, October 30, 2007Bud Shaw
Plain Dealer Columnist
Browns football couldn't seem more foreign right now if they sold fish-and-chips at the stadium Sunday and dressed up the Terminal Tower like Big Ben.
We finally have something in common with Londoners, other than wall-to-wall sunshine year-round.
There's an NFL product in town that people consider alien but are only too happy to pay to see.

Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennel plans to keep team grounded
Tuesday, October 30, 2007Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
Coach Romeo Crennel gave the players a couple of days to bask in their victory over St. Louis and their 4-3 record, but now he's going to knock them down a peg or two.
"Some of them think they've arrived and they've done more than they need to do," Crennel said. "But they haven't done enough. As soon as you think you've arrived, then those nine games left aren't going to be good."
He said some players will need to be convinced that they haven't achieved anything yet "even though they think they're pretty good. We're 4-3, we won back-to-back games and we feel good about it. But that doesn't get us anywhere."

UPON FURTHER REVIEW: BROWNS VS. RAMS
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
On the Rams' first play, Marc Bulger connected with Torry Holt for 39 yards on the left sideline. Holt beat corner Leigh Bodden.
With 13:35 left, the Rams had the right call for a safety blitz, running Steven Jackson off left tackle for 22 yards to the Browns' 11.
Jackson capped the opening drive with a 2-yard run on third-and-1 from the 2. The Rams made it look easy.

Browns and playoff buzz? Talk not so far-fetched
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
By STEVE DOERSCHUK
BEREA Jamal Lewis helped Baltimore win a Super Bowl five years after the team left Cleveland.
Seven years later, in his first year with the reincarnated Cleveland Browns, Lewis is still waiting to get back to the big game.
Yet, with the Browns in decent shape at 4-3, Lewis can't bring himself to talk playoffs.
"I can't even say that word right now," Lewis said. "I'm not even gonna speak on that."
Lewis' former head coach, Brian Billick, used to call it the "P" word, banning it from the locker room as a jinx.

Cribbs: No stopping us Browns about 'team'
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
By STEVE DOERSCHUK
BEREA The crowd oohed when Joshua Cribbs was belted down hard during Sunday's opening kick.
The return ace was not awed. He popped up and trotted away. Then he did the same thing after taking a shot later in the first half.
Cribbs, who dishes out more punishment than he takes, tries to set a tone by treating pain matter of factly.

Ex-Browns back would have run ball in 1980 playoffs
Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Repository Sports Writer
CANTON TWP. Mike Pruitt still has a smile and charisma that can light up a room.
Just don't ask the former Cleveland Browns All-Pro running back about Red Right 88.
"I hate that play," said Pruitt, the guest speaker at Monday's Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club meeting at Tozzi's on 12th. "I hate it to this day."
Red Right 88 was the pass Brian Sipe had intercepted that cost the Browns a 14-12 playoff game to the Oakland Raiders in the 1980 playoffs. A field goal would have won the game at Cleveland, but bitter cold and a biting wind tempted the team to take a shot at the end zone, where Sipe was picked off.
