TUESDAY Aug 25 PRACTICE UPDATES!

Quinn and DA looking good today...

August 25 3:00 ET Browns fans hope to see WR Braylon Edwards consistently haul in the kind of pass he just caught - a one-handed snag in the end zone from Brady Quinn after he got well behind DB Hank Poteat. Edwards led the NFL with 16 drops in 2008.

August 25 2:59 ET Browns QB Derek Anderson looks particularly sharp today. He just showed off his arm by rifling a tight spiral 40-yard strike to Braylon Edwards down the left sideline. The fate of Anderson and rival Brady Quinn could be determined this Saturday against Tennessee.

Same old hot and cold DA...

August 25 3:57 ET Derek Anderson has lost his hot hand in game simulation. He threw behind several receivers on mid-range routes. He has given way to Brady Quinn, who will try to end practice by leading the offense into the end zone.

Let's see if there's a BQ update to finish the day. Not that we can conclude anything from anything about anything regarding the QB thing.

I thought Poole was the FS and Elam was the SS?
Poole was FS last year while Jones was SS and I'm sure he still is... must be a typo.

You are correct, Pool is FS

Which is exactly why we get so damn frustrated with Anderson.

Robiskie to be cut? I am starting to wonder if the guy can play in the league........

AZBrowns

Why would the Browns cut Robiskie? It wouldn't make sense.

Technically Pool is the FS but the safties are interchangable in Mangini's system. They both need to be able to play like a FS and both need to be able to come up in run support. Just a little bit more flexability when either can come up or stay back.

A friggin moron? Why? Because Robiskie has been so "undefineable" bad that even in these scripted practices, everybody says Robiskie is over his head?

Mangini's answer was also...........disheartening.

When did Mangini say that? I certainly have seen or heard him say that.

No one I know whose been to camp said this of him. It also hasn't been said in a single camp report I have read from any source. Every report has said he is as polished as advertised

So where exactly does this "underfineable" bad come from? Or Robiskie being in over his head? Who is this everybody?

RIP huff's paint and then goes and watches the neighborhood kids play alley-ball. He just THINKS he's watching the browns.

Grossi on how the QB's looked:

Tony Grossi said:
Quarterback derby: Both quarterbacks threw well and accurately in most drills. Derek Anderson, in particular, had his tight spiral impaling receivers. But in the two-minute drill at the end, both quarterbacks were typically unspectacular. Anderson drove the No. 1 team from the 20 to the defense's 39. He was victimized by one drop and three offensive penalties. Brady Quinn moved the No. 2 team from the 20 to the defense's 46. He suffered a drop by Martin Rucker and one offensive penalty. Quinn's final pass for Brian Robiskie nose-dived to the ground.

The folks at the OBR are hearing that Pool suffered a mild concussion in the Lions game and could be out a couple weeks.

Grossi's notes said James Davis and David Veikune got a lot of work with the first units. Either this team was way worse than I thought or this was one hell of a draft class. Maybe a little of both.
You know, as of last Thursday, I was certain Quinn would start the opener. I'm becoming less sure. Again.

Dude, nothing has changed, Derek followed up a decent 1st quarter with a pick. Classic DA. Quinn (with his limited reps) did well but was held back by 2 penalties by mr. St clair.

as far as starting the rookies, I think its the right thing to do whether they are showing they are clearly better than the vets or not. If you are drafting someone in the first few rounds, you expect them to start at some point, throw them into the fire now so they can get actual real gametime reps, and progress quicker. Yeah they might get shat on in the beginning, but they will hit their stride sooner, and keep it longer

HAhahahahaahahahah. When was the last time a second round receiver(almost first round) was cut before the season started? I have heard and SEEN up and down things from Robo, only you have stated hes been disastrous. Maybe he wasn't as polished as was thought, but the talent is still there.

Pessimism at its finest.

Dangit! You mean I've been caught in Goolie's trap?

Didn't even see it coming! Nice job Goolie., ya got me.
