Season 2010

For 2009 :
Team Performance : 100/100
Franchise Value : 100/100
Profit Loss : 62/100
Difficulty : 70/100

YEAR END SCORE : 86

Troy Aikman and Ben Coates are inducted in the Hall of Fame.

FB Edwin Bednarik and DE Jason Taylor retired. Both have been valuable contributors and Bednarik (drafted in the 2nd round in 2000) has been a starter for us for 9 years before being replaced last season in the starting lineup by Chester Tindale.
LB Freddie Kobeski (injured last season with a broken angle) is still out for 3-5 weeks.

40 players are already signed for 2010 and 3 starters are FAs.
We place the franchise tag on TE Ronald Stark, a starter for us for the past 10 years and still a great blocker/receiver.

Trades proposals :
The Cowboys propose T Leland Bonham + 2nd round pick for S Lincoln Wright.
The Broncos propose LB Ernest Strong + 1st round pick (22th) for DT B.J Mudgett.
The 49ers propode TE Jake Montgomery + 1st round pick (10th) for RB Donnie Sheen.
All are rejected.

I renegociated 3/4 year extension deals to many players including our stars Davies, Sheen, Mudgett.
Guys on the team were very willing to renegociate -probably since we just won a SuperBowl last year and they feel they have the oportunity to flourish within the NFL's best team- and that was a great surprise to me.
Also, we have been able to resign backup QB Bucky Chapman until 2012 (he was UFA this year and unhappy not to play). His current estimation is 58 (good) with a potential at 86 (excellent).
It's certainly good to have him with us in case something happens to Davies.

We enter Free-Agency with $26,010,000 under the cap.
We badly need some help at DE.
Once again we can't find what we want at that position and we lose both Centers Jeff Smith and his backup Connell to Free-Agency. Smith was a 10 year starter at center and Connel didn't want to sign with us, he wanted to be traded.
Also, former 1st rounder LB Leon Rooser (10th overall in 2001) left for archrival Jacksonville and a lucrative contract.
His loss is not that much of a shame since he his now a 10 year veteran and we have a lot of very good young LB on the team.
Else from that, the good news is that we've been able to resign all of our other FAs so cohesion shouldn't be hurt too much.


Trade offers for Raleig Roundtree and B.J mudgett are both rejected.


The 2009 NFL Draft :

during the draft we trade our two 3rd round picks + next year's 1st rounder + CB Chuck Coleman for promising DE Timothy Burnim (86/81/90 - 2nd overall pick in 2005 draft) from KC Chiefs.
We were already set at CB with Carr, Ferderer, Dawson and McElroy. We'll try to regain next year's 1st rounder later on...

We now trade with the New York Giants (who held the n°1 pick this year as they had at 2-14 the worst record in the NFL last year) giving them our two 2nd rounders + our 4th rounder in exchange of their 2011 1st round pick.
(Royal, you're safe )
Hopefully the Giants won't improve that much right away so we could end up with a very early selection in the draft next year...

2010 Draft Report:

Rnd 1 - Mel Chin, FB, Michigan State (46/100 37/78 84 39/96 22/58 46/98 92 79 100)
Rnd 5 - Xavier Bauer, CB, North Carolina (22/56 28/62 60)
Rnd 7 - Renaldo Finch, C, Ohio State (8/19 30/55 25)

We then trade with the Lions our 6th G Oscar Barlow (15/22 22/33 24) for their 2nd string Center Deion Parrish (23/55 25/61 65), a rookie picked in the 2nd round this year.
Parrish is fine for being a backup Center. We still don't have a a starter at the position.

MEGA TRADE !
Desperate to find a great Center since long time starter Jeff Smith left during Free Agency, we look for trading. Without a proven Center, no way, Blaine Davies will be well protected and no way Donnie Sheen will run at will.
We go see the Washington Redskins and enquire about C Dexter Galyon (99/100/100), considered by the scouts as, simply, the best Center in all of Pro Football.
We propose our backup QB Bucky Chapman.
the Redskins agree since their were themselves desperate for a good QB.

We then release Rookie Center Renaldo Finch (7th rounder).

Huge trade as we come back with the best Center of all but we let go a promising young backup QB.
We look in the Free-agent pool and surprisingly see QB Bart LaChapelle (2007 All-League 2nd team QB) and a 3 year starter for the Redskins there.
LaChapelle has very good ratings but was let go since he missed 18 games over the last 2 years.
Obviously his durability is a factor but as a backup he should be perfect.
With his ratings, he can probably be considered the best backup QB in the NFL right now.
We are lucky to have him since he's a grade upgrade to Chapman.

LaChapelle (79/89 71/82 81/96 85/92 90/99 87 69/80 69/82 91 100)
7 year veteran, one time All-League QB.
Our scouting department rate him currently at 78 (very good) with a potential at 86 (excellent)

in comparisons, Davies' current ratings : (94 93 92 85 91 100 85 81 88 84)
Current estimation : 92 (excellent), future estimation : 96 (excellent)

Trades :
The Seahawks offer a 2nd rounder for starting FB Tindale.
Rams offer a 4th rounder + G Leon Flowers for newly acquired C Dexter Galyon,
The Raiders propose a 1st rounder + FB Kyle Pathon for Browns sack leader Matt Champion.
All trades are rejected.

We are just $5,890,000 under the cap at the start of the pre-season

We sell 70,300 tickets out of 70,300. (!)

The Browns are "worth" $851,810,000 (1st NFL)
Stadium (44)
Roster (100)
Support (99)
Economy (54)

Pre-season :

We finish the preseason 3-1
Actually 3rd string QB Donovan Hemphill had a very fine Pre-season and outplayed backup Bart LaChapelle. Still LaChapelle is clearly a more talented QB and has much more experience so he definitely remains the n°2 QB.
Unfortunately we have a major injury as N°1 receiver Harvey Wallace has broken ribs and is out for 2/3 months. Bad luck, he was already hampered by injuries throughout last season and here we're not even sure of being able to bringing him back late in the season.
Last year, Wallace caught 52 passes for 799 yards and 8 TDs.
We will now rely on B.J Bushon and SuperBowl MVP Willie Woodson as our two starting WRs.

Last year's SuperBowl title in still in the memories but are clearly looking to bring home a 2nd world championship in a row.
This will be difficult though because we start the season with 5 staight road games !

regular season 2010 starts :

Week 1 Browns @ Bucanneers (Bucs were 10-6 last year) - 1pt fav : W 35-20
A very good season opener for the Browns against a tough and physical Bucs team. The offense looks as good as ever with a trio of QB/RB/WR where each posted great stats and the defense also looked much better than at anytime during last season. We led this game from A to Z and that was a real satisfaction to see a chemistry like that early in the season.
Davies 20/32 295 yards 3 TDs 1 INT
Sheen 28 for 138 yards 1 TD
Carlson 8 catches for 138 yards 2 TDs
Quinn and Ferderer each had an interception, Champion had 2 sacks and Burnim 1.5 sacks.

Gus McElroy, CB - Bruised Sternum, full strength in 3-5 Weeks
but good news for WR Harvey Wallace whose injury heals faster than expected. He's now been upgraded from Out (2-3 months) to doubtful (3-5 weeks).

Week 2 Browns (1-0) @ Bears (1-0) - 3pt fav : W 29-23 OT
A strange game has we blow a big lead to finally win the game in overtime. Davies threw a lot of passes in the first half but few were completed. Sheen, as well had a sub-par game. Still we start off the season 2-0.
Davies 25/49 280 yards 1 TD 2 INTs
Sheen 14 for 40 yards 1 TD
Woodson 7 catches for 71 yards 1 TD
Duke and Mudgett both had 1 sack and Champion had 2.

3rd string RB Tom Battle has a broken Tibia, he's out long term and placed on IR. We then sign FA RB R.J Hogendoorn (4year Vet who played the last two years at Charlottesville).

Week 3 Browns (2-0) @ Jaguars (2-0) - 1pt fav : W 14-13
a defensive struggle.
We lead 14-0 before seeing the Jaguars coming back behing QB Stamm. With less than 3 minutes to play in the 4th quarter, Jacksonville is stopped on our 23 yard line and has to settle for a FG. They made it and come back 14-13 with just over 2 minutes to go. The Browns go 3 and out and the Jags have the ball back on their own 38 with 2 minutes to play, they just need to advance to FG range to win the game...but Stamm is intercepted for the 2nd time in the afternoon and we can hold on to the win.
Davies 12/28 165 yards 2 TDs 1 INT
Sheen 15 for 122 yards
Woodson 3 catches for 53 yards 2 TDs
Quinn had 2 interceptions ! and Champion added another 1.5 sacks to his season total. Carr also had 1 sack.

At 3-0 after three (road) games, we currently own sole first place in the AFC Central are just one of three NFL teams still undefeated (Jets and Cowboys being the others). The Power Ranking system ranks us first in the NFL at 95.

Week 4 Browns (3-0) @ Titans (1-2) - 7pt fav : W 27-14
Just another game where it took us a little more than a quarter to feel good before steamrolling peacefully to yet another important road victory against a division foe.
The defense seems to carry us more than the offense so far. Clearly, right now, we can see an improvement on defense compared to last year.
Davies 16/35 191 yards 2 TDs 1 INT
Sheen 25 for 71 yards
Woodson 4 catches for 53 yards 1 TD
Quinn and Dawson each had an interception and Mudgett had 1 sack.

LB All O'Donnel has a turf toe and is questionnable (3-5 weeks)

Week 5 Browns (4-0) @ Steelers (0-4) - 13pt fav : W 17-13
ugly win. Once again the offense can't move and doesn't really produce. I'm a bit concerned there even though we're still undefeated at 5-0. In this game, it is not until with 6 minutes left to play in the game that QB Blaine Davies runs for a score to give us the win.
Davies 16/23 159 yards 1 INT
sheen 15 for 86 yards 1 TD
Bushon 4 catches for 42 yards
Carr and Swift both had 1 interception; Burnim had 2 sacks and Champion & West each had 1 sack.

S Lincoln Wright has stretched Knee Ligament and is listed as doubtful for sunday's game. We decide to keep him out so that he doesn't re-aggravate his injury. The season is long and he's our best safety.
The good news is, after 5 games on the road, we are 5-0 !

Week 6 Browns (5-0) Vs Titans (2-3) - 10pt fav : L 9-26
Awful loss and for yet another week, Davies and the offensive squad have gone nowhere. Down 0-14 early in the game, we were never in position to come back to the score or anything. Our "season-opener" is a disaster as we lost a lot of credibility today.
I must say i'm very worried about Davies' play so far : the 12 year vet is playing his worst football ever (statistically speaking because else, he still led the team to a 5-1 record). His current Rating of 69,3 is so far the worst of his career.
Davies 13/35 213 yards 1 TD 2 INTs
Sheen 18 for 74 yards
Stark 2 catches for 54 yards
quinn had an interception; Mudgett, Champion and Burnim each had a sack.

Dustin Maloney, DT - Broken Foot, full strength in 2-3 Months

Week 7 Browns (5-1) Vs Dolphins (1-4) - 14pt fav : W 42-3 !
Just when it seemed some people were ready to write Davies off, he responds whith his best statistical game in 2 years and is named NFL offensive player of the week !
The Dolphins scored a field goal on the last play of the game, else it would have been a total shut-out. Instead we have a crushing pancake win. Our most convincing game of the year. For once, the offense rolled, thanks to Blaine's great game.
Davies 18/22 225 yards 4 TDs 0 INT
sheen 13 for 42 yards
Wallace 6 catches for 56 yards 2 TDs (his first full game since being injured in pre-season)
Carr and Swift both have had an interception, Pieper had 1 sack

Blaine Davies is now the NFL's All-Time leader in TD passes (267) !!!
B.J Carr is now the Browns' all-time leader in interceptions (29)

Week 8 Browns (6-1) Vs Jaguars (6-1) - 4pt fav : W 23-17
We take an early 14-0 lead but the Jags come back. After leading 17-14, they -again- tie the score with a FG and the battle is tough in the middle of the field as no team seem to be able to get past the opponent's 40 yard line.
Finally, Sheen breaks free for a 35 yard run that sets up the all important win (we sweep the series) that gives us the edge in the Division.
Davies 13/26 192 yards 1 INT
Sheen 18 for 145 yards 1 TD
Bushon 4 catches for 44 yards
quinn 2 interceptions
West had 2 sacks; Mudgett, Champion and Burnim each had 1 sack.

Mid-Season Report :

Injuries :
Lincoln Wright, S - Stretched Knee Ligament, full strength in 0-2 Weeks
Tom Battle, RB - Broken Tibia, full strength in 2-3 Months
R.J. Hogendoorn, RB - Concussion, full strength in 0-2 Weeks
Dustin Maloney, DT - Broken Foot, full strength in 3-5 Weeks

No really devasting injuries so far, we have been lucky and -with the play of our defense- this is certainly a reason why we have won 7 games out of 8.

Davies : 53.2% comp 1720 yards (5th) 13 TDs (2nd) 9 INTs Rating : 77,4 (16th)
Sheen : 146 attempts for 718 yards (2nd) 4.9yards/c 4 TDs
Woodson : 27 catches for 360 yards 13,3yards/c 7 TDs
West : 40 tackles
Champion : 8.5 sacks (3rd NFL) -already tied last season's total that led the team-
J.R Quinn : 7 interceptions ! (1st NFL) -along with 34 tackles-

It's a lot of pressure of being the defending champion but at 7-1 at mid-season, I couldn't have hoped for much more so i'm glad of where we are.
The defense has really step up and Champion and Quinn are fabulous so far.
Offensively speaking, Davies has highs and lows for the moment but he is still an remarkable team leader as his record speaks for itself : the guy makes the right plays at the right time.
Sheen is quietly the n°2 ranked rusher...same old business for him

Week 9 Browns (7-1) @ Bengals (4-4) - 6pt fav : W 31-6
Awesome fantasy show..for the 2nd time in 3 weeks, QB Blaine Davies goes wild, firing 4 TD passes.
At the half, Davies already had 230 yards and 3 TDs...the game was already said and done.
Last year, we were battling to death with the Bengals for the AFC Central Title, this year though there will be no match with them.
Davies 29/46 354 yards 4 TDS 1 INT
Sheen 18 for 37 yards (it was clearly a passing day)
Wallace 9 catches for 125 yards 2 TDs
Quinn, Wright, Dawson and Swift EACH had an interception !
Pieper had 2 sacks and Champion had 1.5.

Week 10 : OPEN

Week 11 Browns (8-1) Vs Bengals (4-5) - 9pt fav : W 38-17
Not as easy as the score says : we are down 17-9 midway through the 3rd quarter and it takes a Davies-to-Wallace 9 yard TD pass and a two point conversion to tie the game at 17.
Then, we hold on to the win after we scored another TD to make it 24-17 but with 4 minutes left to play in the game, the Bengals have the ball...fumble, we recover. On the very next play Sheen breaks for a magnificient 54 yard TD run.
Then, in the dying seconds, Lincoln Wright intercepts the QB and returns it 90 yard for a TD !
Davies 24/46 271 yards 2 TDs 2 INTs
Sheen 16 for 86 yards 1 TD
Wallace 5 catches for 67 yards 2 TDs
Wright had 2 interceptions including 1 returned 90 yards for a TD

Week 12 Browns (9-1) Vs Ravens (1-9) - 14pt fav : W 31-24
We didn't look too good in the first half but things became much better after the halftime break.
Then we came back much more concentrated on our football and Davies found his receivers more often than not. The game was sealed at the end of the 3rd quarter and tough former Brown QB Sieh threw 2 TD passes in the 4th quarter, it wasn't enough to overcome the early deficit.
This is a tenth win for us and at 10-1 we, for now, have the best record in the NFL !
Davies 24/36 284 yards 2 TDs 0 INT
Sheen 20 for 66 yards 1 TD
Wallace 5 catches for 86 yards 1 TD
McElroy and Dawson each had an interception and McElroy's returned it 33 yards for a TD !
Champion had 1 sack.

B.J. Carr, CB - Sprained Neck, (questionnable 3-5 Weeks) is ruled out of next week's interconference game.

Week 13 Browns (10-1) Vs Lions (3-8) - 12pt fav : L 24-38
Too many errors, too many penalties. We can't win a football game like that, even against a losing team. Davies was sacked 6 times and fumbled twice in our own 20. Those plays resulted in 14 Lions points. Also, Davies was sacked in the endzone for a safety.
Else than that, penalties killed : way too many "offensive holdings", "false starts"...
Davies 18/34 284 yards 3 TDs 1 INT
Sheen 17 for 60 yards also 6 catches for 90 yards and 1 TD
Bushon 4 catches for 52 yards
Ferderer had an interception, Champion had 2 sacks and Burnim had one.

DT B.J. Mudgett has a sprained back : he is out (full strength in 2011). We'll see if he can play a bit during the playoffs. Right now he is placed on the inactive list.

Week 14 Browns (10-2) Vs Packers (6-6) - 8pt fav : W 33-27 OT
A WILD game, we take a 7-0 lead after a Sheen TD after our first drive of the game but the Packers seem to benefit from B.J Carr's absence in the lineup and QB Vince throws completed passes one after another. The Packers take a 17-7 lead and Vince had thrown for 215 yards at the half. The 3rd quarter is more defensive as we start stopping the Packers offense, only to score points in a great 4th quarter of football when both their offense/defense are tired. We tie the game at 27 apiece with a 57 yard field goal at the LAST SECOND ! we go in overtime.
then, the big play : Vince is intercepted on his own 34 and a couple of great Davies passes later, we have a 1 and goal at the 4. Davies fires his 3rd TD pass of the day to win the game.
Davies 20/33 284 yards 3 TDs 0 INT (3rd week in a row that he trows for exactly 284 yards !)
Sheen 11 for 98 yards 1 TD
Bushon 7 catches for 132 yards 1 TD
McElroy had an interception, Wright had 10 tackles.

Week 15 Browns (11-2) @ Ravens (2-11) - 7pt fav : L 13-38
as a matter of fact, we are killed by poor teams each time we play them...
the first half was a joke of football as Sieh fired 3 TDs and we were down 6-31 at the break.
Davies 12/35 119 yards (!) 2 TDs 1 INT
Sheen 14 for 86 yards
Carlson 3 catches for 34 yards
Quinn had 1 interception; Kobeski and Duke has 1 sack each.

terrible day indeed as we learn that our outstanding pass rusher Matt Champion broke his fibula and is out long term...in 14 games he had already tied his career best with 14 sacks (6th NFL).
Champion is placed on IR.
Over the last two games we lost Champion and Mudgett (probably) for the season. tough.

Also, our n°1 rated LB Phil West is doubtful with a dislocated shoulder.

Week 16 Browns (11-3) @ Patriots (7-7) - 3pt fav : L 17-37
for the first time this year we lose two in a row (3rd loss in 4 weeks.) The offense is terrible for the 2nd straigh week and the defense, so brilliant earlier this year, can't stop anyone now : we miss our defensive leaders (Champion, Mudgett etc.) very much.
Davies 12/26 159 yards 0 TD 2 INTs
Sheen 13 for 36 yards 1 TD
Woodson 6 catches for 80 yards
Dawson had 1 interception and Hixson had 1.5 sacks.

G Raleigh Rountree is out (full strength in 2011). yet another blow.

At 11-4 we still own the best record in the NFL. but nothing is secured with 1 game remaining in the regular season.

Week 17 Browns (11-4) Vs Steelers (3-12) - 8pt fav : W 34-20
We finish the regular season with a 12th win, one that makes us feel a lot better. The offense rolled this time and Davies,Sheen and Wallace all three had a great regular season finale.
Again, we were much better in the 2nd half.
Davies 22/36 292 yards 4 TDs 0 INT
Sheen 23 for 143 yards
Wallace 7 catches for 125 yards 1 TD
Ferderer and Dawson both had 1 interception

Another AFC Central title (1st time we the division two years in a row !)
We finish the regular season 12-4 (best record in the NFL) and so we have Homefield advantage during the playoffs.
Despite our somehow chaotic month of december, the defending champions are still there in the hunt...and unless someone beats us in the playoffs, we're still the favourites.

S J.R Quinn (3rd in the NFL with 9 interceptions) is out with a hip pointer...
It seems all our best players will be missing the post-season.

To be noted :
QB Blaine Davies had a much better 2nd half. He threw 33 TD passes this season (led the NFL and only QB with 30+ TDs) just one short of his career best of 34 TDs set in 2003.
Also with 3767 yards he is 3rd in the league.
So a very productive year indeed for him.

RB Donnie Sheen has 1330 yards (4.7yards/c his best average ever) and 8 TDs

Cleveland Browns (12-4) Vs Jacksonville Jaguars (11-6) -E : W 17-6
The game goes on fine. We control the score and the ball. but early in the 2nd quarter Davies is injured and backup QB LaChapelle comes in. LaChapelle has playoff experience and doesn't make a lot of mistakes keeping the score and bolting us to another AFC Championship game (5th in 6 years).
Davies 6/8 147 yards 1 TD 1 INT before Breaking his arm ! OUT FOR THE REST OF THE POSTSEASON !
Sheen 24 for 63 yards
Stark 6 catches for 57 yards 1 TD
Dawson and Hicks each had one interception

Championship Games

NFC Championship game : Saints (11-7) @ Bucanneers (11-6) : 30-17

AFC Championship game : Cleveland Browns (13-4) Vs Jets (12-5) - 1pt fav : W 38-21
Davies is out but Bart LaChapelle has a wonderful game and is the NFL offensive player of the week.
With Hall of Fame boud QB Blaine Davies out with a broken arm, LaChapelle stepped in and proved he could be a great QB in this league. Despite being down 10-14 at the half, the team played very solid and LaChapelle's passes put the game out of reach for the Jets.
For the 2nd straight year, the Browns will play on the SuperBowl : a repeat is still possible though we have tons of injured players at key positions.
Our leader Davies will be missed for the big game but if LaChapelle can play in the SuperBowl much as he did in the AFC title game, then we have a very good chance of winning.

SuperBowl 2010 AFC Champions Cleveland Browns Vs NFC Champions New Orleans Saints -2pts fav :
We take an early 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. LaChapelle seems to be as concentrated as last week but with just 3 minutes gone in the 2nd quarter, star RB Donnie Sheen is injured and has to leave the game; he will not return.
We found ourselves in a very strange situation leading 14-0 in a SuperBowl without Blaine Davies nor Donnie Sheen playing.
Clinton takes Sheen's role as the featured back and with LaChapelle they keep the score going. We now lead 17-14 after some "3-and-outs" let the Saints comeback in the game. But LaChapelle is not done and throws 2 more TD passes that, along with a couple of FG in the 4th quarter give us the win 37-20 !
Backup Safety Joseph Swift is the SuperBowl MVP.
What a strange game, a superbowl played with backups on offense and all of our best defensive players out as well. This proves that we can win with anybody because we have such a great team.
Bart LaChapelle 16/27 213 yards 3 TDs 1 INT
Clinton 22 for 67 yards
Wallace 5 catches for 44 yards
Bushon 3 catches for 101 yards 1 TD
Swift 1 interception returned 33 yards for a TD, Ferderer also had 1 interception
Burnim had 2 sacks and Hixson had 1.5.

WE REPEAT AS SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS !!!!!

also this marks our 3rd title in 4 years and 4th in 6 years !
this is a clearly a wonderful dynastie.

I'm glad to bring two SuperBowls in a row to our franchise.
Trading for LaChapelle was good, because we may have lost in the AFC title game if we still had had Chapman instead.
too bad that Davies and Sheen missed the SuperBowl but there is no question that THEY led US there thanks to great plays over the entire season.

Season Awards :

RB Donnie Sheen is NFL Most Valuable Player !
S Joseph Swift is SuperBowl MVP.
QB Blaine Davies is All-League 2nd team QB. (only Brown to be All-League this year...)

As incredible as it seems, S J.R Quinn and his 9 interceptions don't make him an All-League player !!! this is steal and we will complain to the NFL !
in place of Quinn, the four All-League Safeties have 10, 8, 4 and 4 interceptions !

Team Stats

Rushing defense : 102,7 yards/g (3rd NFL) !!! great improvement from last season's 31st place.
Passing defense : 241 yards (31st NFL) ...one year it is the run, the other the pass.

Extra Notes :

With this 4th title, we are now the team that has won the more superbowls in NFL history.
Only team also to have appeared in 4 superbowls.
All-time regular season record of 125-67-0 (.651) is NFL's best.
19 post-season win is an NFL best as well.

This is over for me. I send the Universe folder to Royal for season 2011 !
