PD columnist says Browns players believe problems of 2009 were QB-related, and that they think they can win in 2010.
Jake Delhomme has changed attitudes in the Browns locker room this preseason, says PD columnist Bud Shaw.Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, our Web video show about what's going on in Cleveland sports. Today's show is hosted by Branson Wright and Chuck Yarborough, who played golf a round of golf (nine holes) together for the first time Sunday (Branson shot 68, Chuck shot 45).
Let's go to today's show highlights:
• The Browns look like a different team this preseason when compared to a year ago, but there are still some areas of concern. Today's guest on SBTV, Plain Dealer columnist Bud Shaw, says he would like to see more playmakers step up on defense. Where do you see the team's biggest need for improvement? Vote in the poll now posted on the Starting Blocks blog.
• Bud also says that the change at quarterback this season - with Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace replacing Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn - has done more than just improve the offense. Bud says it has also helped the team leave behind their awful 2009 start, because the players believe many of their problems last season were of the quarterbacks' doing. Bud says Delhomme and Wallace have revitalized the players' belief in themselves heading into the regular-season.
SBTV will return Tuesday morning with Plain Dealer sports writer Dennis Manoloff as the guest..
