Browns Flopping By: Anthony Gedeon There has been a lot of buzz around the Cleveland Browns for the 2019 NFL season and a lot of people had high hopes for the team. However, as the season has gone on, the team and its fans are starting to lose hope in ever being good. The Browns are sitting at 4-6 currently in the season and people have a whole bunch of different opinions on what the Browns should do to turn it around. Freddie Kitchens, the rookie head coach of the Browns, is under heat as being one of the problems with the Browns. Most people were happy with the decision to make Kitchens the head coach, but as the year goes on many want to have him fired. This would just add to the Head Coach problems that Cleveland has been suffering from for years. Owen Reese, a die hard Browns fan calls him, “Flapjack Freddie” because “Freddie is a good guy, I just don’t think he is fit for the head coach position.” Reese is obviously not the only one to voice his opinion either, there is even a hashtag “#firefreddie” movement started on Twitter by an account named “Browns Country” that reports on all the Browns games and news. Although people are saying that Freddie is the main problem, others are saying that it is the team itself and the players are not playing well. The Browns are the most penalized team in the NFL with 75 penalties adding up to 631 lost yards so far in the season. Eighteen of those occured in just the first game against the Tennessee Titans. The Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is another person that Cleveland was really looking forward to watching play as he did very well in the previous season. Now that the NFL season is halfway over, Mayfield is not holding up under the pressure as well as fans hoped he would. The Browns have been pretty bad for awhile now and the organization cannot seem to find the problem. Whatever the problem is, they better figure it out soon because the Cleveland Browns community has been waiting forever just to be good. .

Cleveland Browns Team History
PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn running back jim brown - hall of fame class of 1971 CLEVELAnD BROWnS Team History The Cleveland Browns were born in 1944 when Cleveland businessman Arthur B. McBride acquired a franchise in the new All-America Football Conference that would begin play in 1946. McBride’s first act after acquiring the team was to hire Paul Brown, who had been a very successful high school, college and service coach, as coach and general manager. The teams of the AAFC basically were of comparable quality to those of the NFL but, in the first 10 years of post-World War II pro football, the Cleveland Browns proved to be the best in either league. With such all-time greats as quarterback Otto Graham, fullback Marion Motley and tackle-kicker Lou Groza leading the way, Cleveland won all four AAFC championships and amassed a 52-4-3 winning record. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, many insisted a major reason was the Browns’ dominance that eliminated any viable competition. The AAFC-NFL settlement called for the Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts to join the NFL. Many NFL diehards, still not convinced the Browns were for real, expected Cleveland to fail badly when they played against the established NFL teams. But the Browns quickly proved their domination was no fluke by opening the 1950 season with a stunning 35-10 victory over the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles. Cleveland then won the NFL Eastern Conference championship for six straight years from 1950 to 1955 and NFL titles in 1950, 1954 and 1955.

We want Gerald to go out and look at other places because when he makes the commitment here, we want him to be all in. Everybody that is going to be here is going to be all in, and that is what we need to get to where we are going. We are fine with him taking a look at everybody else. We do not care because we have told him who we were. If that is who he wants, he will end up here. He knows the direction we are headed.” On if the Browns’ discussions with McCoy specifically included his role and playing time: “No, it did no really get that specific.

Nfl Kicks Off 100Th Season
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9/3/19 http://twitter.com/nfl345 NFL KICKS OFF 100TH SEASON To help celebrate the NFL’s 100th season, each week will feature an NFL100 Game of the Week. Each game will be a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made. The NFL has designated the Packers-Bears contest as the NFL100 GAME OF THE WEEK for Week 1. In arguably the league’s richest all-time rivalry, the Packers and Bears will meet for the 199th time, including the postseason, in a series that spans all 10 NFL decades. The franchises first met Nov. 27, 1921, when the eventual NFL champion Chicago Staleys shut out the Packers, 20-0, but Green Bay leads the series, 97-95-6. Combined, the two organizations have accounted for 22 world championships,13 for Green Bay, nine for Chicago (No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, all-time). The two teams have also combined to put 53 individuals in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, 28 from the Bears (No. 1 all-time) and 25 from the Packers (No. 2 all-time), with respect to those who spent the majority of their careers with a club. Welcome to 2019. Expect new teams to earn playoff berths, a few consistent players and clubs to excel again, records to fall and young players to forge ahead as they introduce themselves to our collective excitement. It’s a familiar script, a story that has fueled the league’s popularity for 99 years.

Tight Ends Coach Freddie Kitchens -- August 13, 2020
Tight Ends Coach Freddie Kitchens -- August 13, 2020 Q: Can you talk about your quick journey here with the Giants? Head coach, what you learned, what you know more about yourself, and what you can take from that experience and maybe help Joe Judge, who’s a first-year head coach? A: I gained a lot of experience last year. I’m really fortunate to have gotten that experience. I’m looking forward to bringing everything, not just last year, but my previous years of coaching. Anything Joe needs or any questions he asks, all I can give him is my experience from that. All of us have had experiences along the way, some good, some bad. Joe’s done a great job surrounding himself with people that he trusts, that he can ask questions to, and will give him honest answers. Q: Your experience last year as a head coach, some good, some bad? What was the ratio there you would say? A: I don’t want to put figures on anything. I enjoyed my time and the opportunity in Cleveland. I appreciate the opportunity that I was given. I gained valuable experience moving forward. But I’m concentrating on the New York Football Giants, which I’m excited to be here. What a great organization. All the history that goes into the organization since 1925, I love that kind of stuff. It’s great to be here. Q: What’s it like going back to being a single position coach and not having everyone looking at you for answers? A: I’m a football coach.
