DERRICK FROST Punter still kicking himself over botched attempt

His 7-yard punt late in Sunday's game led to a Ravens victory.
BEREA (AP) -- Three days later, Browns punter Derrick Frost is kicking himself. He hasn't shanked any of those.
Frost's 7-yard punt from Cleveland's end zone in the fourth quarter Sunday night set up Baltimore's go-ahead touchdown and sent the Browns to another gnawing loss.
"I feel like I let everybody down and I lost the game," Frost said. "That's the bottom line."
Sitting at his locker Wednesday with his injured left knee in a brace, Frost replayed those few seconds he can only wish had gone differently.
"Over the course of the game, people make mistakes and your teammates overcome them," he said. "Whatever we had done to that point, we had overcome them. We didn't overcome my punt."
Tough situation
Frost's punt was costly for the Browns (3-5), who were leading 13-12 when Baltimore downed its punt at Cleveland's 1 with 10:04 remaining.
After three plays netted 1 yard, the Browns lined up to punt with Frost's heels only inches from the end line, a misstep from a safety. In hindsight, giving up two points would have been a better idea.
Frost caught the snap to his left, and feeling pressure from his right, nearly fanned on the rushed kick. The ball wobbled off the side of his foot like a bad tee shot and fluttered out of bounds at the 9.
"The timing was bad," Frost said. "There wasn't a lot of room to work with. Basically, the deck is stacked against you in that situation. Everything didn't go right."
Things quickly got worse when Jamal Lewis scored on a 2-yard run and the Ravens converted the two-point conversion to open a 20-13 lead. Baltimore secured the win in the final minute on Ed Reed's NFL record 106-yard interception return.
That play felt like a kick in the gut to Frost, who sprained his knee and ankle earlier in the game.
"If I would have just punted the ball 12 yards or 15 or 20, we probably would have held them to a field goal," he said. "That's all hindsight. It's a team game and everybody says you can't blame it on one person. I don't necessarily believe in that."
Worst kick of career
Factoring in the situation and score, Frost, who signed with the Browns as a free agent in December after being waived by Baltimore, said it was the worst kick of his career.
"Probably," he said. "I had a 7-yarder in college, but it bounced all the way back."
The Browns need Frost to bounce back -- now.
If he's healthy -- and Cleveland signed punter Ryan Dutton to the practice squad Tuesday as insurance -- he will be punting head to head against Pittsburgh's Chris Gardocki, who wasn't re-signed by the Browns last winter.
Expect to play Sunday
Frost, also the team's holder on field goals, did not kick during practice Wednesday. He is confident he'll play against the Steelers. He's eager to redeem himself.
Before his critical 7-yarder and despite his sore leg, Frost had a pair of 51-yard punts. But it's his last one that he can't shake.
"People expect perfection and when you make a mistake kicking the football it looks pretty damn bad, everyone sees it," he said. "How many people watched Sunday night football? About 10 million? I was pretty upset, but you know what, these things happen."
