Good news from Cleveland?
After the Browns signed LeCharles Bentley, only to have the Cleveland native and Ohio State alum blow out his knee, get a staph infection, nearly die and presumably doomed to never play football again, it was business as usual for tortured Browns fans. He never played a down in a real game for Cleveland, hence the lack of action photos of him in a Browns uniform.
But the rumors have been swirling and seem to be true. Two time All-Pro center LeCharles Bentley is back and presuming he passes his final physical will play against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers on opening day. If Joe Thomas is as good at left tackle as advertised, with Eric Steinbach at left guard and Bentley at center we will have (at least on one side) one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. Add to that a healthy Jamal Lewis, Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow and the Browns may have suddenly gone from offensive joke to real threat. Of course given that this is the Browns we are talking about, a volcano will likely spring up in the middle of Cleveland and wipe out the whole team. But for one day anyway we have a glimmer of hope.
