BROWN'S TOWN Frye pursues strength in the desert Wednesday, January 25, 2006 Roger Brown Plain Dealer Columnist Browns quarterback Charlie Frye may be in Arizona these days, but he's doing more than soaking up sun and playing golf. Frye is expected to remain in Arizona until March for workouts with renowned strength coach Warren Anderson, best known for his work with Philadelphia star QB Donovan McNabb. Frye's goal: to gain 10 to 20 pounds before next season, so he can better withstand the physical pounding he'll take week after week. As a rookie last season, Frye weighed 217 pounds. Browns GM Phil Savage says he shouldn't get a free pass - and the presence of AFC North rival Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl further confirms why he's right. When the second-best team in your division makes the Super Bowl, coming away from a two-day NFL Draft with only two significant players doesn't cut it. (Which is exactly what Savage got from the 2005 draft, with Frye and wide receiver Braylon Edwards). If Savage insists on racking up miles to personally scout some defensive back from Alabama A&M&T&Y, he better start justifying the toll fees by getting legitimate players throughout an NFL Draft (that means both days). One clear conclusion from the Browns' promotion of offensive line coach Jeff Davidson to assistant head coach: Head coach Romeo Crennel obviously isn't an insecure guy, and doesn't feel threatened by putting two young, ambitious and talented assistants (Davidson and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham) in top positions. Davidson and Grantham are likely future NFL head coaches. From HERE
Id be worred that him adding 10 pounds would hurt his scrambleing abilities, although the kid could use a better arm and a bigger body to better take the beating.
Good call, you might not want him to turn into the Pocket QB that McNabb tries to be, didn't work out so well IMO. Thought he was better at scrambling.
Taking in the whole fact roger brown wrote this you cant take this seriosly.But adding Arm Strength wouldnt hurt him.
I don't think Frye would lose his mobility. Frye needs to get bigger. He's had problems holding onto the ball and was sacked often. If he's bigger he will be more difficult to tackle due to his size.
