Browns Are Named The Next Joke In Football-What Are They Going To Do About It?

The Detroit Lions won their first game after 19 straight losses. An article called them the joke of football. Not any more. The same article listed the Cleveland Browns as the next joke of football with St Louis, Kansas Ciy, and Tampa Bay as possible potentials.

The Cleveland Browns have the worst offense in football and are at the bottom as the lowest-rated offense. Mangini can't make up his mind as to which quarterback he is going to use, but has decided upon Derek Anderson for the home game with the Bengals this Sunday. Added to that is its weak running attack.

When is Mangini going to wake up and get WR Josh Cribbs more involved in the offensive scheme of the Browns? Josh Cribbs leads the AFC in punt return average (16.7 yards), which means he is giving them good field position, but the offense cannot exploit it. He is also a scoring threat on kickoffs and can run the Wildcat. Someone even suggested him as an alternative for the quarterback position. Of course, he cannot be expected to do everything, but the Browns are not using his talents to the full.

The Browns can beat Cincinnati if they put together a plan of attack that uses the teams full talent in the right balance. Go for broke, take chances, throw the long ball, use surprise, be creative and be entertaining. Its going to be a home game. Give the fans something to cheer about or at least make it interesting.
