Browns trying to figure out how to not get run over by opponents
New Philadelphia Times Reporter, OH - 21 hours ago
BEREA — Opponents run at the pace of “Talladega Nights.” The Cleveland Browns respond at the pace of “Driving Miss Daisy.” A disturbing expansion-era pattern came to a head-slapping in Thursday’s 27-7 loss at Pittsburgh.

Willie Parker gave the Steelers a franchise-record 223 rushing yards, peeling off one tackle after another on an ugly field of half-grass, half-muck. Reuben Droughns gave the Browns all of 6.

Pittsburgh’s running backs amassed 301 rushing yards on 49 attempts. Cleveland’s muddled for 14 yards on nine spits into the Monongahela wind.

“They came to play,” head coach Romeo Crennel said. “We came, but we didn’t play."

Geez, Romeo's supposed to be a defensive genius. So why in the world is his team getting torched for 200+ yards by Willie Parker? It's been an embarrassing effort from this unit in 2006, and I understand that there have been a lot of injuries -- I can forgive that on offense, but not on defense. New England managed to hold together on D with key guys hurt, and I know it's unrealistic to expect this unit to resember the Pats yet, but shouldn't they be better than THIS?

Look at Tony Dungy and the Colts. When he was hired, he was supposed to improve the Colts pathetic defense. But it's gotten worse.

Look at Bililick, the offensive genius in Baltimore.

It looks like the talent makes or brakes the geniuses, huh?
