The Browns quickly gave up on their man in Brady Quinn and have moved on. 35-year-old Jake Delhomme is set to be the head man for the team this year with Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace waiting in the wings. Delhomme had a dysmal year for the Panthers last year. After starting poorly, he went on the injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Odds are Delhomme goes down again or doesn’t play well and gets replaced by Wallace or even give McCoy a shot. After all, what does this team have to lose?
The Browns haven’t really done much else to improve their squad over last year’s poor outing. Josh Cribbs is still there, so maybe he can return some more kicks for them. That will be the highlight of their season just about.
The Browns will once again finish dead last in the AFC North with a 4-12 record.

Quarterback Jake Delhomme completed his visit to Cleveland last week and drove to the airport for a flight to New Orleans. He never made it.
Travel delays forced Delhomme to return to Charlotte, N.C., where he chose to sign with the Browns without visiting his hometown Saints. The chance to start was more important than being a backup in his home state.
Delhomme, who grew up in Breaux Bridge, La., and spent his first five years with the Saints, would have been a backup to Drew Brees with the Super Bowl champions. In Cleveland, he is the favorite to win the starting job after team president Mike Holmgren and the Browns parted ways with Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn.
Delhomme’s main competition will be Seneca Wallace, whom the Browns acquired in a trade with Seattle.

Some call him Big Baby. Others call him a man among boys. Whatever the case may be, the Browns now have a crater-sized hole in the middle of their defensive line where three-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers once stood.
Rogers, who suffered a lower left leg and ankle injury late in Sunday’s 16-7 loss to the Bengals, will be placed on injured reserve for the season and undergo surgery to repair the damage. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by second-year nose tackle Ahtyba Rubin, the Browns’ sixth-round pick in 2008 out of Iowa State. End Corey Williams is also lobbying for playing time there, and coach Eric Mangini will determine if he needs to add another lineman.
“[Rogers] is very disappointed,” Mangini said. “He wants to be out there. It hurts. It’s really unfortunate.”
Mangini declined to say if Rogers’ ankle was broken. “I really don’t want to get into the specifics of it,” he said.
Rogers is one of four defensive starters injured Sunday. The others were safety Brodney Pool (concussion), end Kenyon Coleman (knee) and linebacker Kamerion Wimbley (knee). Mangini said it’s “wait-and-see” with the three other players, but acknowledged the Browns are taking Pool’s concussion — his fourth or fifth — very seriously.

Eric Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play when the Cleveland Browns go against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Cribbs was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after the last play of the Browns’ 16-0 loss to Baltimore on Monday night. He was briefly hospitalized with a possible neck injury and concussion.
Mangini says all of the measures taken with Cribbs were precautionary and that all the tests came back negative.

Browns coach Eric Mangini has returned to his secretive ways with his starting quarterback.
Mangini said Monday that he will wait until Wednesday to announce whether Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn will start next Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. During Cleveland’s bye week, Mangini said he would reveal his starter early this week.
Mangini said he knows where he is headed on the decision but has not yet spoken to his two quarterbacks.

If Joshua Cribbs is a fan of the Web site profootballtalk.com, he might not be a regular visitor to the site in the future.
On the site’s home page Tuesday were a series of headlines, including one that read: “Cribbs not happy with Cleveland fans.”
The short story that followed said Browns’ fans were chanting, “Go, Pack, Go” near the end of the Packers’ 31-3 win in Cleveland Browns Stadium last Sunday. It was actually many of the large number of Packers’ fans in attendance who were chanting.
Cribbs, in a Tribune Chronicle story, said, “I hate it. It hurts when I hear that. I almost want to run up in the stands and boo with our fans. It reminded me of a couple of years back when Pittsburgh came in here and they overwhelmed our stadium. That should never happen, especially in Browns town. I don’t care how bad we’re doing. This is Browns town.”
