I could EASILY see this team going 8-8. Would be surprised with any better, though. They lost a lot of close games last year, against good teams at that. I only expect them to get better..

8-8 is the ceiling for this years Browns team....sure it's the NFL and anything can happen (2007) but you just never know and with so much youth it would be hard for me to see this team a contender. I do like the direction we are in though small steps...lol

The Browns have had a solid past couple drafts so with next years draft class from H&H I think they will be much improved. We definitely need to draft some LBs and there will be some solid WRs in next years draft too. The DL is almost set, just need to add some depth and hope Sheard and Mitchell pan out. Also need another corner since Sheldon Brown is getting up there and isnt getting any faster/younger.

Except for Hodges, it seems like the Browns' injuries have been pretty insignificant (knock wood).

When is the first scrimmage? Don't we usually play Buffalo before the first preseason game?

I think they did away with that a few years back.

Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (foot) continues to be sidelined with a foot injury, and as a result his roster spot could be in jeopardy. WRs Greg Little, Jordan Norwood and Carlton Mitchell have all had strong camps to date.

Not sure I buy that his roster spot is in jeopardy.

I like MoMass betterthan Robiski. MoMass does not need to push off to get open.

I could see one of MoMass or Robo not making this squad.
McCoy & Greg Little looked like absolute shit today.
I think we are going to see the RB (Jackson) and Evan Moore (if healthy) play huge roles in this offense.

To piggyback on my Evan Moore comments, I think they may rely on the TE's a bit more than WR's in this offense.
Evan Moore will be split out as a WR a lot of the time. I don't think there's anyone in the league that can cover this guy with his height advantage. If I'm correct, he even made Revis look kinda foolish last year. With him, Watson and now Cameron, who is looking like a stud, TE may be the strongest position on this team.

I read somewhere that Moore was lining up outside quite a bit, which is smart. He does have a height advantage over every corner in the NFL, and is a pretty athletic for his size. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cameron lined up there sometimes as well. Hopefully all of the TEs stay healthy, because we do have some good ones.

Not to mention that Moore averaged over 20 YPR. He needs to see the ball more if he can stay off the training table.

Moore has great (great) hands. He is a subpar blocker. No reason to hide what he is, put him in the slot and throw it to him high.

The Onion piece is priceless. I also liked the piece off to the side about Visa contacting the Indians to make sure they want to take on more salary.
LOL.

I hope Moore is as much as a steal as H&H believes he is.
