CLEVELAND — Since the days of Phil Dawson, Browns fans have longed for a kicker of his caliber. After things with fourth-round pick Cade York didn't work out, there's new hope in the kicker the team recently traded for, Dustin Hopkins.

"When we're talking about Cleveland Browns Stadium, you have the open areas that allow the wind to swirl at different heights throughout the stadium, but particularly down in the Dawg Pound side of the field. So that easterly side of the field in the Dawg Pound, thanks to the way that the wind swirls, is going to be a little bit tougher.
He's right. Five Browns games last season were determined by three points or less. That's the difference of a reliable kicker.
