Cleveland Browns Camp: Sirius NFL Radio Doubts Cribbs-Wallace Cyclone

Daniel WolfAug 5, 2010

Football is in session in Cleveland and all the focus and talk is on their beloved Browns, who are hoping to surprise in 2010 after coming off of a four-game winning streak to close out the 2009 season.

After owner Randy Lerner hired new team president Mike Holmgren, the front office was rebuilt once again and nearly half of the roster is new compared to one season ago.

Of course, these are just typical things that occur for the Browns in what seems every year.

A not so typical thing that the Browns do have is Pro Bowler and NFL record holder Josh Cribbs.

Cribbs, Mr. Do-Everything, on both offense and special teams and has now become the city's biggest sports superstar with LeBron packing his bags for south Florida.

A master of what the Browns have called "the Flash Package" (the Browns version of the Wildcat), he will be teaming up with new teammate and backup quarterback Seneca Wallace for the new Cyclone package, which is the Wildcat but with two Wildcat players on the field at the same time.

Browns fans, very excited about this new formation, have given a big buzz about it in training camp too since the Browns have shown many of its various formations and plays.

Sirius NFL radio thinks otherwise.

Having been at Browns camp in the tropical heat on Thursday August 5, both hosts Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan thought that the new package is easily stoppable by the opposing defenses of the NFL.

Really?!

Did both Pat and Tim not see that when both Cribbs and Wallace are in shotgun, there is no clue as to what will happen next?

In this afternoon's practice, the Sirius hosts were able to watch as Wallace pitched the ball out to Cribbs who ran for at least five yards.

In most Browns fans eyes and the eyes of many other analysts, a five yard gain is a good thing and the hosts must have forgotten how Cribbs averaged 6.9 yards per carry.

Even if Wallace carries the ball, and he has taken hand-offs from Cribbs during camp, he averages 4.0 yards per carry for his career too.

Both can throw, run, and catch, but this is a formation that is easily stopped?

Many will beg to differ especially the fans who have seen this formations man more times in practices than the single practice and what was shown today.

Browns fans really don't care what the Sirius NFL hosts have to say because this is really one of the, if not the, first time a team is going to successfully run this type of formation.

Even when the Miami Dolphins began the Wildcat fad several seasons ago, there was plenty of resistance to the new formation and many said that it was a gimmick and would never stick around.

That was two years ago.

Now the NFL and all if its fans, experts, and analysts will take notice to the Browns' newest form of the Wildcat.

They do say that two is always better than one, and in 2010, the Browns will have two Wildcat quarterbacks on the field that same time and welcome the to Cyclone.

Who will be the first team to copy the Browns' Cyclone?

If it is successful, then more than one will follow suit.
