14-20 vs Jacksonville
Charlie Frye led his team well in his first career NFL start. The former Akron QB has a arm that is more accurate than it is strong, and an odd ( almost short-armed) throwing motion. He showed better than advertised mobility and very good game awareness for a rookie. On his first TD pass to Edwards, the Jags jumped offsides and in turn Frye threw the ball into double coverage for Edwards, who came down with the pass in the end zone.
He looks like he has the potential to be what the Browns need (read: hope), but at this point he’s not much more than a tall Jeff Garcia.
Edwards’ season ending injury came in the fourth quarter, so we’ll have to wait to see who the Browns look to to step up as the #2 receiver.
Cleveland outgained the Jags 243 to 80 over the first two quarters but then Jacksonville came out after halftime looking to stop the run and the Browns ended up with -11 yards for the entire third quarter.
