... They get you settled in a hotel and get you transportation until you can arrange for that stuff yourself. They highlight some places where a lot of the players live.
I have another friend here, Tony Fisher, who I knew from Notre Dame, he’s from the Euclid area. Knowing a lot of people in the area will definitely be helpful in the transition.
I just want to thank all the Jets fans for their support and their love, I really appreciated my time in New York.

This is a group of guys eager to help the Cleveland Browns reach the next level.
Coach Mangini is a coach I always have enjoyed playing for. He’s a very smart man and he challenges you to be as smart as him, to be an extension of him out on the field.
I think everybody dreams of being a starter in this league, but the most important thing right now is for me to do everything the coaches ask of me to help the team reach its full potential.

Browns Gab —
... like myself, including Eric Barton, David Bowens and Shaun Rogers. They set a great example of how to prepare to practice and play the game.
Knowing how to prepare is very important. You want to make sure when you go out there and execute your job and that all your bases are covered. Being prepared allows you to react on the field without having to think too much because you’re doing something that you’re familiar with. You can play much faster if you’re prepared.

Browns Gab —
... stay here or in Palm Beach when I come in to work out with my trainer, Pete Bommarito.
I’m excited about improving and working on some of the things I know I need to work on to get ready for the season. I like to push myself hard so when training camp starts it seems easier. I’ll be getting up at 6:15 every morning and working out twice a day to get ready.
I think working out that hard gives me an edge mentally that will help me through training camp.

Browns Gab —
... flies you in, but it doesn’t really matter if you have to fly yourself around for all of these camps. What matters is that you want to be a part of something positive and help out a teammate. We all support each other.
I’m saving Marriott reward points and Delta sky miles to try to get a full vacation for free at some point. I love to travel but I don’t have quite enough points yet. When you fly around during the season the team pays so you don’t get those miles.

Safety Elam Blogs About Playing Free or Strong Safety
Browns Gab —
... Personally I don’t care where I play, I’ll do whatever it takes to help the team. Whether I’m starting or coming off the bench, I’m training to be the starter.
Playing strong safety means you have to have a physical, aggressive mentality to get up and stick your nose in. You can’t shy away from contact. The toughest thing is to dodge the offensive linemen. They see a smaller guy and try to push them around. The key is to beat them with agility and speed.

John Lewis, Jamal’s brother, is a personal trainer in Atlanta and he ran most of the physical drills.
We also stressed the point of education. I think the kids can learn from my experiences and the things I have overcome to make it to where I am today. I think it means a lot to them and it means a lot to me, as well.

We’re staying in a hotel right down the street from the facility. I get a room to myself, that’s the nice thing about being a veteran.

get this adjustment right before we go home tonight.’ You need that.

... 26 year old who had three forced fumbles, three pass deflections, two sacks and an interception return for a touchdown. Elam will get to play a prominent role in the Browns’ defense and playmaker is of desperate need for the Cleveland defensive backfield. Last season the Browns defense played decent and persevered through injuries, but lacked the big plays that make a defense more than ordinary. Like more and more athletes, Elam is very accessible on the Internet as he updates both a blog and a ...

We did some good things and that continued today on the practice field as well. The idea now is to continue to improve and build on what we did in the preseason game.
We’ve got Tennessee this week and that’s a new challenge. Chris Johnson is one of the fastest backs in the league, LenDale White complements him and Kerry Collins is a solid quarterback who has been in this league a long time.
