1961:
1961 Rookie Watch:
Keith Lincoln responded well to our expectations running for 1629 yards his rookie season. Mike Lucci also held a starting job at MLB and performed well. While we're not quite sure where we have Lincoln we're positive that Lucci is a steal! The other rookies played sparingly. Most noticeable performance was 7th round DT Voigt with 1,5 sacks.
1961 summary:
We are of course hindered by a really not so good QB. Our star WR's Orr and Dial were both out for 4-6 weeks during the season making our offense even more rundimensioned. These facts makes Keith Lincoln's rookie season even better. Defensively we held our ground. Unfortunately we're in the same division as the Browns so 12-4 was only good enough for a Wild Card game. The Jets held us to only 232 yards and away the season went :-)
Super Bowl:
Cleveland wins their second ring it's Jim Brown that does the work and becomes MVP as they beat Bart Starr and the Packers 6-10.
