| Newsbreakers | | Braylon Edwards recorded only two receptions for a total of just 14 yards in Sunday afternoon's 28-10 loss to the Cowboys. The All Pro receiver dropped two big passes, one that was a sure touchdown.
Our View:Edwards, just one of many players who sat out most of the preseason, and as a result looked rusty in their season openers. |
| | Jamal Lewis, who was questionable coming into Sunday's season opener, recorded 14 touches for 76 total yards in the Browns' loss to the Cowboys.
Our View:Lewis missed a portion of Friday's practice with a sore hamstring. |
| | Derek Anderson must still be suffering from the effects of the head trauma that struck him during the preseason. The Browns' starting quarterback was a disappointing 11-of-24 for 114 yards, and rarely looked comfortable.
Our View:In Anderson's defense, his top receiver Braylon Edwards, who had only two catches, dropped at least two big throws from Anderson. Including one in the first quarter, an easy touchdown pass and catch. |
