hold them back. That’s where we are and that’s what it looks like right (On talking to Randy Lerner about his future)- “Randy has said that he’s

didn’t make the trip, so we’ll have to take a look at him to see where he
is and see if he’s making any progress with his ankle or not, then we’ll
go from there.”
(On continuing to fight)- “Human nature gets involved and human nature
tells you that alright, it doesn’t look like you’re going to go anywhere.
Sometimes the questions become, ‘Why do I need to go to the meetings?
Why do I need to prepare? Why do I need to do this?’ So if they get that
attitude then it falls further apart and that’s the thing that you don’t want.
In this business, in the game of professional football, it’s a competitive
business and you can see a lot of games go into the fourth quarter and
go down to the wire so you have to fight to give yourself and your team
the best chance.”
(On playing younger players in the last three games)- “I think that we’re
going to look to try to win a game. I think that’s what you have to do, that’s
why you coach the game is to try to win. Now, if a younger guy gives you
a chance to win then you can do that and you can maybe try to mix him
in to maybe try to give him a play or two. I think you try to win the game.
I think maybe we cut back on some of the things that we’re trying to do
understanding what some of the limitations are and do a little bit less. If
there’s somebody that we think can help us win then we’ll tweak it.”

TITANS 28
BROWNS 9
December 7, 2008
LP Field, Nashville, Tenn.
The Browns dropped a 28-9 setback at Tennessee. The Browns opened the scor-
ing with a pair of field goals of 47 yards and 41 yards by K Phil Dawson for an
early 6-0 lead. Tennessee responded with a 28-yard touchdown pass from QB
Kerry Collins to FB Ahmard Hall and a three-yard touchdown run by RB LenDale
White for a 14-6 halftime lead. The Titans added a nine-yard touchdowns pass
from Collins to WR Justin Gage in the third quarter to open a 21-6 lead. Cleveland
added a 39-yard field goal by Dawson early in the fourth stanza to cut the deficit,
21-9. However, Titans rookie RB Chris Johnson scored on a 25-yard burst to the
outside for the 28-9 final. QB Ken Dorsey made his first start in three years and
made only his third appearance with the Browns since joining the club in 2006.
Dorsey was 22-of-43 passing for 150 yards and one interception. Browns receiver
Joshua Cribbs led the club with 24 yards rushing and attempted one pass, which
fell incomplete, as he took six snaps from the shotgun formation. Browns RB Ja-
son Wright led the club with 5 receptions for 40 yards, while WR Braylon Edwards
added 3 receptions for 38 yards. The Cleveland defense forced three turnovers on
the afternoon, including two interceptions by LB D’Qwell Jackson and a recovered
fumble by DB Eric Wright. Jackson led the defense with 20 tackles, and set a
career-high with his two interceptions. K Phil Dawson connected on 3-of-4 field
goal attempts to increase his season total to 29 field goals made, which marks a
career-best and ties a franchise single-season mark (29, Matt Stover, 1995).
