CB Mike Adams May Start Again Over Brandon McDonald
Mike Adams replaced Brandon McDonald as the Browns starting right cornerback in the base defense against the Lions and could get the call Sunday against the Bengals. Head coach Eric Mangini made the switch one game after sloppy coverage by McDonald against the Ravens turned a short pass to Derrick Mason into a 41-yard gain. Rather than point out any shortcomings of McDonald’s, Mangini looked at the switch as recognizing effort by Adams. “Mike’s earned it,” Mangini said. “Mike’s a versatile guy. He’s played safety and started there. He’s started at corner. I like the things that he does. I like the way that he competes. I think the fact that

New Browns LB Roth Talks About Leaving Dolphins
The National Football Post had the following with new Browns LB Matt Roth about his leaving Miami: Cleveland Browns outside linebacker Matt Roth acknowledged that the reason he’s no longer with the Miami Dolphins is because of a “falling out” with the Dolphins after suffering a groin injury that required surgery. “Sometimes when you get hurt, people don’t get happy,’ Roth told the Cleveland Plain Dealer today. “We had a good relationship until the injury.” Roth was claimed by the Browns off waivers one year after recordi

The Plain Dealer reports about a sit down that RB Jerome Harrison had with coach Eric Mangini: Browns running back Jerome Harrison has been a ghost of late, averaging four carries the next five games and then being inactive last week in Detroit. Harrison had a sit-down with Mangini this week and was in better spirits than a week ago, when he declined to speak for fear of “saying what I really think.” On Wednesday, Harrison said, “I know how I am when I’m sort of frustrated and angry. I will say things that I don’t mean and that’s not a

He also forced two fumbles. A four-year letterman at Iowa (2001-04), Roth appe

Time to Fix the Problem
There is nothing in life that I hate more than a hypocrite. As this crazy season keeps on spinning further and further out of control there appears to be many of them. It’s confession time. Not long after the Browns hired Eric Mangini I went against my gut feeling that hiring Mangini was huge mistake and penned a article by the name off “The Eric Mangini Project” opining why, after much deliberation, I felt Mangini might turn out to be a good coach. I wish I can at least pretend that I was under the guise of “The Almighty Blogger”, that like so many of my fello
