Training Camps Just around the Corner!

For us die hard football fans May is just about over and June will be here. Most camps open in the end of July. I for one cant wait but it will be here before we know and we certainly don`t want to wish our summer away but as Football junkies we cant help it we have a addiction and its Cleveland Browns Football. July 31 is the tentative opening for camp this year and I will be there. I cant wait to see the new additions to the team and I actually have one more wish on my list and that`s to add a deep threat wide receiver by the name of Buress, Plaxico that is! He caught more touchdowns last year than the Browns scored as a team. He would be a huge asset in the red zone for Brandon Weeden. The coaches keep praising the likes of Mohamed Massaquoi and how they are expecting big things from him this year, which may indicate that they are done in free agency. I like MoMas but to me he seems a little gun shy going over the middle and I probably would too with some of the hits hes has taken and concussions he has had. Lets face it he started last years camp on a bike due to being in a walking boot. He is quick has seems to have the ability to be able to catch the ball when he gets open but he cant seem to stay on the field the whole year.

There have been some articles written lately about Josh Cribbs as he enters the last year of his contract and that it could be his last year as a Brown. Josh has given his all and then some to this community and it would be a sad day to see him go but with the changes in the kickoff rules and his lack of production at the wide receiver position I think you may see him gone unless the he takes a pay cut to stay with the team. Josh has probably been one of the best players as far as being involved with the fans and giving back to the community, don`t get me wrong I would love him to stay. He is a great special teams guy, he has a nose for the ball doesn't dance on returns he hits the hole and hits it hard its just that the opportunity's have been minimized with the kickoffs being moved up and kickers generally kick it deep in the end zone or completely out.

Well Browns fan til next time....Go Browns
