Crennel Says NO To Scrimmage!

[deathadder]

ROMEO'S APPROACH

Romeo Crennel knows what he's facing as Cleveland's new head coach.

``We're starting from a pretty low point,'' Crennel acknowledged. ``When you only win four games, you know you have to add talent. We have a few solid players there, but we have to upgrade.''

Crennel and Phil Savage, the new general manager, have begun by subtraction, dumping two failed high draft choices.

Defensive end Courtney Brown, the No. 1 overall pick in 2000, was released after being plagued by injury throughout his career. Defensive tackle Gerard Warren, third overall the next year, was traded to Denver for a fourth-round pick.

In fact, the Browns are turning over the team so much they decided to do away with their annual scrimmage sessions with Buffalo.

``We have too much to teach in a short period of time,'' Crennel said. ``When you play another team even in a scrimmage, you have to spend some of that time getting ready for them.''

That sucks,but what can we do?

[fanman]

I'd like to see them come over to Albany and scrimmage the Giants. I usually go to at least one day of Giants training camp just to satisfy my early august football hunger, and I would be all over that scrimmage

If I were Crennel I probably would be hesitant to have any kind of scrimmage this year too. I mean the Browns are in a HUGE state of flux....I don't know if any other team in the league is going to field as different a team this year as they did last year.

I mean they are going in with a different RB (granted Suggs was there last year, but wasn't the starter), a different QB, different oline personnel, different dline personnel, different DBs, and a whole new coaching staff. What a mess. I will be amazed if the Browns win a game before November. It is chaos over there, and they don't have much money to fix it.

Makes me feel pretty good about the Bills situation.
