The people inside the game know about Romeo and what he can do. To the Browns' credit, they saw it, too, and hired him.

We take a lot of pride in that. We have a big veteran group here. We've been working hard since Day 1 of training camp, and we are coming together. We are focusing on what needs to be done, and a lot of us understand that every week. We try to do our best to keep the old man on his feet.

Romeo smiles a little more. Maybe that's good.

We are excited, but there are more games left. You can't focus on this one. You have to put it behind you and you have to go on to the next one.

People point out that Romeo's never been a head coach, and this is definitely a big move that he's making,

All he needs is a little time.
