guy physical question
That's going to be the question on him - can he do it on a down-to-down basis? But he's so massive. He's a very big guy that can be a very physical force.
four guys
That's four guys who can play in this league.
jay spent time
We've spent a lot of time with Jay Cutler. We feel comfortable with him.
area certainly draft guys line love offensive playing point somebody step terms time veteran younger
We have a veteran line in terms of guys playing in the league, but at some point in time it's an area that has to be addressed with younger players. I'd love for us to be able to draft somebody of significance for the offensive line. I think it would be a step in the right direction. That's something that we would certainly consider. It may or may not happen.

adds browns hopefully mistakes reminder repeat serves steve time valuable
He adds a lot because he's been here the whole time the Browns have been back. We hopefully won't repeat the same mistakes that have been made in the past. Steve serves as a reminder of what some of those were. He's been a really valuable resource.
admire known pittsburgh taken
He's not a cookie-cutter receiver. He's a little different, and that's one thing I admire about what Pittsburgh has done. They've taken a Randle El and a Hines Ward and have known what to do with those guys. They've been creative.
call silly true
I call it silly season. You never know what's true and what's false.

I came to Cleveland because of my belief in Randy Lerner, his integrity and his commitment to making the Cleveland Browns a championship team. I am excited about continuing as GM and am more committed than ever to this franchise and to helping the organization bring the Browns fans a winner.
