Search for orange October Browns still believe heading into Monday nighter against Giants STEVE DOERSCHUKCanton Repository What does he expect the Browns to do off their 1-3 start?
“Try to win games,” he said, for some reason with a big laugh. “I believe we have the talent to win games.” His expectations for the Giants game? “I would hope we play well,” he said. “We had an extra week to prepare. I hope we go out there and execute and play to our abilities.” Unlike the veteran newcomer Rogers, fullback Lawrence Vickers is one of the young starters who helped the Browns develop into a 10-6 team filled with hope. “What are we thinkin’ now?” Vickers said after pulling on his practice jersey Saturday. “I think we’re still thinkin’ the same thing. “I don’t see how the landscape has changed. Who lives in the past? What’s done is done. “I can’t change those losses. But I can sure help change these wins we’re about to get.” Safety Brodney Pool is tied to a Browns regime on the hot seat. He was drafted in Romeo Crennel’s first year as head coach. He is one of the players who was supposed to be peaking about now. His expectations? “Bottom line, just win,” he said. “We definitely have the right core guys to do it. All we’ve got to do is just start playing as a team. We started to do that at Cincinnati.” That was Cincinnati. The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game in 18 years. The Browns are about to face a Giants team off to a 4-0 start on the heels of a 4-0 postseason. “Some of the expectations are down, and people don’t have any hope,” wideout Braylon Edwards said. “That puts us back where we were last year, as the underdog.” The Browns looked like sick dogs, even for much of the Bengals game. Cribbs thinks their fourth-quarter rally still means something. “Our medication was the win at Cincinnati,” he said. “It gave us a chance to say, ‘We can do this.’ “Now the fun is back in our locker room, back on the team, on the field. It’s gonna carry over into the game.”
