agency athletes coaches free hopefully improved match next opportunity parts plan players romeo year
We feel like parts of free agency match up with what we need. Hopefully we'll get enough Plan A's and B's that we'll be better next year and we'll give Romeo and the coaches a better opportunity to coach more top-line athletes and better players and we'll be much more improved a year from now.
comfort four further level move players seven three
I think the comfort level would be five, six, seven spots. I don't think you'd want to go much further than that. If we have three or four players we still really like, we could move back to 16 and still get one of them.
errors performing players situation
If those players were still here performing and producing, I wouldn't be here. But those errors were made, and that's a situation we have to get fixed.
fall move moving players three top
If we move two or three spots, that would be one thing, but I can't see us moving into the top five. One of those players would really have to fall out of it and end up at No. 9 or 10.
active certain couple disappear fairly moves obviously plan players year
We do feel like we'll be active this year if certain players are available. If they all disappear on us, obviously we'll have to go to Plan B, Plan C and Plan D. And we'll be fairly disappointed if we're not able to make a couple moves pretty early.
easily fake might players position year
There's a position or two where we might try and fake it for another year and do a combination of players at one spot. That could easily happen.

It's a real nice statement from the Browns to the rest of the league and our fans that we're serious about wanting to win. And we want players who want to be here.

We felt this decision was in the best interest of both the Browns and Ross.
bowl certainly exciting happens improve matters prepare snap super team three win
You don?t win the Super Bowl in March, but you certainly prepare to win. These are three additions that will improve our team and make us better. So it?s exciting here in March, but what really matters is what happens on the first snap in September.
catch character either fast general hit issue medical miss misses number position receiver regardless round run second type
Either they run real fast and can't catch or they can catch, but run slow. Or there was some medical issue or character issue. A lot of times, the second round in general is a hit or miss type of round regardless of position. I do think receiver is a position where you see a number of misses in there.
agent felt few good ideas next positive talked visited weeks
We talked to him, visited with him. We felt good about it. It was positive and we're going to go through these next few weeks and see where we are and talk to him and talk to his agent about some ideas that we may have.
anxious emerge focused leader opportunity
We are anxious to give him the opportunity to have a focused off-season where he can emerge as a leader on offence.
pass phone pick wait
We could pick him, we could pass him or we could wait for the phone to ring.
certain fall operate others somewhere teams time
There is a lot of misinformation out there at this time of year. Certain teams probably operate where they don't tell the truth. Others teams just say what it is. We probably fall somewhere in between.
