Browns notebook

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Brady Quinn
BEREA, Ohio -- All Brady Quinn wants is a chance.
The Dublin native wants to compete for the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback job with Derek Anderson in training camp this summer. But it's unlikely he will get his wish.
"We're both obviously good quarterbacks," Quinn said yesterday before an autograph session. "It puts us in a good position if anything were ever to happen. I'm just looking forward to the competition."
Competition is the key word, because the Browns are committed to opening the season with Anderson as the starter.

Despite Derek Anderson's big, new contract, Browns quarterback Brady Quinn still has every intention of winning the starting job this season.
Asked Saturday about his mindset heading into camp, Quinn said it's "just competing and trying to take this team to the playoffs. I think it's something we weren't able to do last year. I want to try to take over the starting job and lead for our team.''
Speaking before an appearance at the Greater Cleveland Auto Show at the I-X Center, Quinn mentioned at least four times that he plans to lead the Browns next season.

AP PhotoDonte Stallworth caught 46 passes and three touchdowns with the Patriots last season.
The Browns signed Patriots free agent receiver Donte Stallworth to a seven-year deal, the team announced Saturday evening. ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports reported that the deal is worth $35 million with $10 million guaranteed.
A seventh-year pro, Stallworth caught 46 passes for 697 yards and three touchdowns in 2007 with the Patriots, where he played behind Randy Moss and Wes Welker. He was signed by the Pats as a free agent before the season, but they let him go instead of paying him $8 million in roster bonuses.

Savage work to be done
With Bodden gone, Savage really needs to do some work in the defensive backfield. While MacDonald did a fine job at nickel back last year, I am very uncomfortable in starting him and Wright at corner. I would like for them to bring in a veteran CB to be one of the starters and let's see how MacDonald performs this coming year along with Holly.
We also need to get a MLB who can run sideline to sideline but also have the ability to stuff someone when they come up the middle. Davis can stuff but he cannot run. Jackson can run but I don't think he had one tackle behind the line of scrimmage.
We also need to sign our FA's because right now all of our backup OL are free agents along with a lot of special team players.
Take care of the above and call it a day.

Overall I think the Browns have made some good move, but they still do have some questions like the ones addressed in the post above mine.
As for the Guys they just signed, I think Williams will have the biggest impact. While as a Bengals fan I would have loved to have Rodgers, he does have a history of weight and injury problems. If he comes in ready to play, they the Browns DL will be a force. Stallworth, really has been a whole lot of flash and nothing more most of his places he has been. I really don't know if he has been able to stay healthy for a whole year yet.
And with all these signing KWII has to be wondering where is extension he wants is.

FA addressed some of their needs, but they will have to address the defensive backfield in the draft if they can.......an improved D-line will certainly help our DBs back there......

I lead, you follow.
You could have Champ Baily and Cromartie as your CB's, but if your Dline was as bad as the Browns last year; then its not going to matter one bit.
I'm happy were beginning to address the D (line) I'd like to see a speedy DE to compliment some inside run stopping. A fresh face or two at LB couldnt hurt as well; Willie is only getting older, and Wimbley is a force waiting to be unleashed if he could just get a complimentary player behind our big fellas.

Eric Wright was solid last year in coverage. MacDonald looks like a solid nickel back right now, but I'm sure they'll monitor his improvement this year. Daven Holly is an Arena League player, and Baxter is done.
They have to do something to at least shore up some depth at the CB position. But for now, the D-Line was more important.
