Mile High Mistake

These past couple weeks might just be enough to erase all the pain from “The Drive” and “The Fumble” in Browns history. Browns fans can now look at Bronco fans and just laugh. Denver decided to revamp its defensive line this off-season and for whatever glorious reason they decided to go shopping for overrated Browns’ defensive lineman. In the last three weeks, the Broncos have successfully signed Ebenezer Ekuban, Michael Myers, Gerard Warren and Courtney Brown. In exchange the Browns landed a 1,000 yard rusher in Reuben Droughens.

I don’t know if this is payback for all of those Cleveland tears in the late eighties, but I personally could not be happier. Denver is going to make Phil Savage the GM of the Year this year and I can’t help but think they did it out of pity. Why else would you replenish your defensive line with four key players from a defense that won just four games last year? I guess we will find out come September, but until then, I couldn’t be happier about the new-look Browns and the new-look Broncos.
