Cleveland Brown’s love what they saw and still see in Derek Anderson and with that said, Charlie Frye is no more for Cleveland. Derek showed up on the radar in 2006 when he came in toward the end in relief of Frye. In 2007 the two dis the tango for the starting QB position with the lead role going to Charlie. However, once again, Lady Luck would shine favorably again on Derek as he would get his chance again. Now, he does not want to let go.

With that said, thisyear he gets to look over his shoulder at second year stud Brady Quinn as he stares at the quarterback play book signing “put me in coach”. Now I am not giving the starting job to Derek just yet. But it is his to lose. However, it still has not changed his demeanor. He is still the down home country boy that he has always been.

As for who is dancing with Anderson he has a ton of receivers in camp to hook up with. I still think that Joe Jurevicius will lead the core with big Kellen Winslow coming through the middle at the tight end position. Donte Stallworth and Joshua Cribbs should be the other receivers seeing the majority of the action. Jamal Lewis should be ample enough for a ground attack but the real question will be who they bring in as his backup. And this could actually be the position that can put them over the top.

As for the defense, this year seems to carry some bright stars. Starting in his second camp, defensive back Eric Wright looks to be the stud that will make or break this defense. This team seems to be strong up front and can handle the short yardage plays but it seems that the secondary is where the concern will be. With that said, this is what will be the difference maker for the team this year.

Personally, I think this could potentially be the year of the Browns and I am taking the in the AFC North as I think Pittsburgh is good, but not that good this year. Browns finish at 10-6 with a trip to the play offs.
