Week Five
Jacksonville 13, CLEVELAND 10
Baker finally missed a field goal, and Jacksonville escaped with a win as a result. To be fair, we had a fumble and INT on our final two possessions, the fumble recovered by Jacksonville. We had it in our hands to win, and didn't. But we're close. I can feel it.
Week Six
Cincinnati 20, CLEVELAND 14
[b]Baker missed another one, though all it would have done is make it a 3 point game. The real issue is our lack of ability to move the ball past midfield. 7 punts for Hollier, slightly more than his season average. We need to work on execution. CB Orlando Cornett is done for the year after major back surgery. I don't know if he'll ever be the same again. Tim McTyer is signed to take his place.
Week Seven
CLEVELAND 35, Baltimore 20
Dixon Schrempf had 112 yards on 19 carries and 2 TDs, Karl Williams had 4 receptions for 77 yards and 2 TDs, and perhaps most tellingly, Hollier only punted 5 times while Baker didn't have a single FGA. Gee...15 more points than the opponent, 2 fewer punts than last game. Wonder if that helped.
Week Eight
CLEVELAND 33, New York 21
Dixon Schrempf had a 70 yard TD run, part of his 231 rushing yards on the day, and Bob Baker had 4 FGs of greater than 40 yards as we build on the momentum from last week. Most importantly - only 4 punts this week.
