Confidence high in Berea
BEREA — There was a football practice in the Browns’ indoor facility Wednesday, but were players other than the Browns wearing the orange helmets?
These players actually formed cohesive units and executed plays with precision. There was an overall sense of confidence about what next season might produce in terms of wins.
The scene was unlike previous seasons when the Browns were coming off another losing season and prospects for a change of fortunes weren’t promising. The 2008 Browns are a team with high expectations, which showed on the second of 12 organized team activity practices (OTAs).
‘‘You want to be on a team that people are interested in seeing and want to see on TV,’’ receiver Braylon Edwards said.
‘‘Now that the pressure is there, people want to see us. We’re excited. We just have to deliver.’’
It’s amazing what a 10-6 record can do for the image of a NFL team.
