Browns
Cleveland Frowns: “It was what everyone expected from the beginning, yet somehow came to forget. with yesterday’s selection of Joe Haden, the Browns filled a position of great need with an elite prospect, the top-ranked player at his position, one of the draft’s top athletes, a three-year starter and two-time national championship winner from college football’s elite conference who by all accounts is a good kid.” » Read more
No Logo Needed: “The initial reaction to the Browns taking Haden caused some to be upset. now that the dust has settled, those upset feelings developed not because the Browns drafted Haden, but because Berry went to the Chiefs. Joe Haden can be a big-timecorner in the NFL. His dad is a trainer and pushed him all his life. There is no need to worry about his work ethic. at Florida, he covered the best of the best in the SEC and was the best defensive player on oneof the top teams in the nation.” » Read more
LeBrownsTown: “With Haden, the Browns now have effective depth at the cornerback position with the potential to still add some talent at safety or defensive line before the end of the second day. I wouldn’t besurprised to see the Browns front seven appear better against both the run and the pass with the additions of Brown and Haden to defensive backfield.” » Read more
Cleveland Reboot: “Then again, Mike Holmgren managed to hang onto all his draft picks – despite some tense pre-draft moments. If the question comes down to value at no. 7 or losing half of our team picks – I think the answer is clear. And if the answer comes in the form of a potential top-flight corner, especially one in Joe Haden, then the matter is settled.” » Read more
Cavaliers
Cavs HQ: “You never want to lose games, but Game 3 really illuminated the most important elements to beating this Bulls team. The Cavs need to attack Joakim Noah and get him in foul trouble. they need to go small and keep the ball moving on offense. they need to focus on defensive rebounding. If they do those three things, I think they will dominate Game 4.” » Read more
Cavs: the blog: “I am spitting mad right now. Remember how I used to say that you wanted these kind of games to happen in February? Well, now it’s the playoffs. I don’t buy the ‘wake-up call’ thing either. This team got upset in the playoffs last season. Their best player is a free-agent this off-season. Boston had 2008. L.A. had last year. Orlando has the future. no team has more pressure on them than the Cavs do, and they’re acting like they don’t need to take every playoff game seriously.” » Read more
Fear the Sword: “A couple of weeks ago when the Cavs lost to the Bulls by one point and LeBron James rested – a game which, more than any other, let Chicago make a final bid for the eight seed – I headlined my recap, ‘Cavs Lose a Battle before a possible War.’ now it may be that this game will be a wake-up call and that the Cavs will come out angry and hungry on Sunday in Game 4. But I would not be at all surprised if this series really does become a war.” » Read more
