If you have not heard, there is reason to believe that the Cleveland Browns might not be so “punchless” after all! Of course, when the punches are coming from rookie defensive backs and directed at his own teammates, it’s probably not the kind of “punch” Eric Mangini and the embattled Browns are looking for.

The Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings kick off their 2009 seasons on Sunday afternoon in Cleveland. At first glance, this game looks like a mismatch. Unfortunately for Browns fans, it looks like a mismatch upon second and third glance as well.
But Jerod does see a few reasons why the Browns could come out on top Sunday. Are they enough to sway his prediction? You’ll have to read to find out.
Word traveled fast today that the Cleveland Browns have named Brady Quinn their starting QB, despite head coach Eric Mangini’s stated desire to keep the identity of his starting QB secret for as long as possible.
Who broke the news?
None other than aspiring Browns beat writer Terrell Owens, on Twitter.
At his press conference today, Eric Mangini offered little insight into who will be the Browns starting QB in 2009, saying that he will even take the process through the fourth preseason game against the Bears if necessary.
While Brady Quinn seems to have the edge, and Browns fans would love to know one way or the other, Eric Mangini is probably handling this situation in exactly the manner he should be.
Among many topics discussed in this preseason Q&A with Barry McBride of the Orange & Brown Report, find out the latest on the Browns’ QB battle between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson, including whether the team is still trying to trade one of them.
