Camp Colt Ii
-
When was the last time we had a QB, or any member of the Browns that would take it upon themselves to organize off season work outs for himself and the team? I can not remember anyone up to this point in the modern Browns era.

Welllll none when you consider this is the first lock out (not a strike like back in the late 80's) which would actually cause a player to have to organize the teams work outs instead of having the coaches do it. But I get your point and I fully agree.
I guess the question is: Is this really Colt himself taking the initiative to get all this together? I certainly would like to think so. I have no reason to think otherwise, but the question has to be asked if there is any "coaches" involvement in this that could get the Browns in trouble.....not that I care if the Browns get a fine for "improper contact" during the lockout. After all, it is just Randy Lerner's money, not mine or yours.
Also, it was very smart for Colt to have it at B-W. I don't know their facilities available, but I assume they are reasonably adequate.....and, how many blocks away from the Browns training facility is B-W? Who is to know what slips out the back door, in terms of playbooks or a few photocopies or whatever.
I honestly think the reason they are having the camp at B-W is because if my memory serves me correctly they were originally supposed to have it at Kent State. Maybe the players got ahead of themselves and cancelled their reservation for the use of Kents fields but I do remember Cribbs saying he had everything set up with Kent State to not only practice on their fields and use their athletic team work out centers, but to actually stay in the dorms like a legit football camp. Maybe with all the players already have travel arrangement to come to NE Ohio this weekend they found the next best thing to go to.

Maybe they realized Kent State is a dump and if they wanted real football facilities they should have gone to Akron

When I want to go somewhere for Soccor, I think Akron. Last place I think about for football is Akron.
Ruining threads since 1897. -
My simple response is..."Hats off to Colt & those who are joining him". How many players have we had in recent years taking this type initiative? Folks, we are experiencing the formulation of a TEAM!!!......'Bout time, isn't it?
I can't wait 'till the playing begins.

I'm referring to facilities. You should think of Akron, for any sport. They are the best in Ohio, if not some of the best in the country...

Actually, Akron should be the first place you think about for football. Akron WAS first in football:
The very first NFL Champions were none other than the Akron Pros!!

I like the bonding and hopefully this gets the team closer and more cohesive.
This kind of stuff could lead to more Browns W's.
...And go Colt!

I gotta say, I really hope Colt plays as good as he leads. He has all of the leadership qualities we could ever ask for in a QB. I hope that he truly is fully healed and ready for a breakout sophmore season!

For this young QB to display his leadership skills like this is got to be a great feeling for the future. I hope the OL can gell enough to protect him. He is getting more weapons around him so the sky is the limit for his chance to the take the Browns to greatness.
