He’s excited about the talent the Browns are assembling around him, including receivers Josh Gordon, Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman, who could wind up on the field together in a game for the first time in Friday night’s exhibition against the Bucs.

If your favorite National Football League is still desperate for an elite downfield threat not two weeks before the regular season starts, the Cleveland Browns might just have the ideal solution-it’s just likely out of just about everyone’s price range.

It’s clear tat the Cleveland Browns punter is directionally kicking to the regular-season opener, if you know what we mean. Maybe he’s turned his life around 180 degrees and is a completely different person, but given the company he keeps I don’t see that being the case. They are crossing their fingers that Gordon can be key to them having a successful season. In the first two preseason games against the Jaguars and the Eagles, the Bucs offense did not score until the third possession. He also ran for 36 yards on three carries. He went 3-for-3 on extra points and added field goals from 21 and 27 yards without a miss. His preseason is most likely over but they hope to have him available for the season opener at Atlanta Sept. 11.
The teams will share the practice fields at One Buccaneer Place again Wednesday, then face each other in a nationally televised exhibition Friday night.
“I understand what the interest is in Josh”, Brown said Thursday, via ESPN. I’m glad I went out and did my job. “We can say all we want about these preseason games, but just in the last couple days we get some guys nicked up and the bottom line is it’s 18 days until Atlanta”.

The Browns rotated defensive linemen, but were unable to record a sack. Mike Glennon connected with Dye on four straight passes, taking the offense inside the 10, though the drive stalled there due to a rash of penalties.
