Cleveland Browns

ENEMY lines WHAT A RIVAL COACH SAYS

"THE BROWNS PLAY AFC North--style football: They're big, they're physical, they play great defense, and they try to run the ball.

Trent Richardson is exactly what this team needed. He's a tough, nasty runner. Running backs can make the transition from college to the pros more easily than other players. He'll be the lead back, and I think he'll have a good year.

The quarterback competition, and I think it will be a legitimate competition and not just lip service, will be good for this team, no matter if rookie Brandon Weeden or Colt McCoy wins the job. I wouldn't be surprised if Weeden is the starter in Week 1. He is the purer passer, but there are always growing pains with players who come from college spread offenses. McCoy is a tough player.

Greg Little is the receiver on this team who could become special. He has great skill and talent, but he has taken some time to catch on to what the coaches want him to do.

Mohamed Massaquoi is a good player but doesn't have any really noteworthy traits. He's not a burner; he's not a giant.... Josh Cribbs is dangerous every time he touches the ball, but he doesn't touch it a lot on offense.

Tight end Evan Moore is not a great in-line blocker, but he's a tough matchup in the red zone. He'll score more than Ben Watson. When the Browns want to do some heavy lifting in the run game, they'll turn to Watson."
