A touchdown would be nice
So, what should the Browns do tonight against the Detroit Lions in the event they finally score an offensive touchdown?
Surely some sort of celebration will be in order. A dance. A backflip. No use acting like they’ve been there before, because they haven’t. Not recently anyway. It’s been seven games and 75 possessions, after all, including the preseason opener.
For the record, the Browns last scored a touchdown on offense Nov. 17 at Buffalo when Jerome Harrison went 72 yards virtually untouched. That was also the night, of course, when General Manager Phil Savage just couldn’t turn the other cheek anymore and fired off a profane e-mail response to a fan while sitting on the team bus.
Savage is long gone, but Harrison remains. Maybe he can break the seven-game drought.
How will the fans react? Certainly a big cheer will be in order if someone hits paydirt.
“The fans pay good money to be in those seats and to watch us perform and towards the end of ‘08 we just weren’t getting it done,” guard Eric Steinbach told the Akron Beacon Journal.
Quarterback Brady Quinn, who handed the ball to Harrison last November, said the Browns have made scoring touchdowns a priority. It’s “obviously vital to us at this point. It’s one of our keys this week,” Quinn told the ABJ.
Then he said he’s not thinking about the drought, or what to do if he has a hand in breaking it.
“I’m horrible at dancing, so I’ll leave that to the guys who score the touchdown,” Quinn told the Akron paper. “If I would happen to run one in, I don’t know, I’ll think of something then.”
