Tim Couch, QB -- Off to a quick start in 2001, Couch slowed considerably down the stretch. He had 16 of his 21 interceptions -- and only six of 17 touchdown passes -- in the final eight games. Still, he played in 16 games for the first time in his career, topped 3,000 yards passing and posted career highs in TDs (and INTs).

"I've worked really hard this offseason," he said. "This is the hardest I've ever worked in the offseason as far as studying film and really learning the game.

"All of the Browns quarterbacks, for an offseason project, picked two guys to study on film," said Couch, who watched Rich Gannon and Peyton Manning. "It's good to watch those guys, see how they do things, and see what you might be able to add to your game."

The addition of Green to top wide receiver Kevin Johnson is just one reason why Davis is shouldering Couch with the franchise's high expectations.

"He's familiar now with the system," Davis said of Couch. "Now that he knows Kevin [Johnson] and Rickey [Dudley] and Quincy [Morgan] and JaJuan [Dawson], now they need to take the initiative to start working together. ... The kind of chemistry [Couch has] with Kevin, he needs to have that with everybody."

Clearly this is Couch's team. However, with the pieces coming together -- pieces that Davis believes are capable of winning -- Couch must elevate his game. If not, the 20/20 Dawg Pound will begin howling about how Clark bypassed Donovan McNabb.
