    I recall a thread that ATENEARS posted(search through his threads made if you care enough) around this time last year, he was saying how bad both QBs (Anderson and Quinn) looked, and that they were both terrible in preseason activities, you know what happened in the regular season.

    So while this report doesn't guarantee success, it's definitely a step in the right direction when we hear about solid QB play.

    Well said Beef! I recalled the very samething and then thought to myself right after.."well that translated straight into the regular season now didn't it?" What is cool is this isn't even including McCoy, who i'm sure will also show us something.

    Having credible players at the QB position should do wonders for our team. Having a guy the head coach can trust doesn't hurt one bit either.

    In order to appreciate the top you have to spend some time at the bottom.

    Our football play in October and November, right in the thick of the playoff race, will be a result of these seemingly small details back here in May, June and July. If the foundation isn't laid properly, and these little things (like discipline, which really isn't that little) aren't put into place now, come Winter, we'll be in the same place we were last year. Balls not hitting the ground, and running laps may seem insignificant, but I seem to remember years past where our QBs weren't even able to complete passes in these OTAs and most of us brushed it off as, "well it's the preseason, they're not there yet". I'm really glad that these little things are in order so we can start looking at the big things.

    Vince Lombardi started every seaon with a lecture on the basics, "This is a football." Don't try to pretend like these basics aren't important. They're everything.

    good post. nobody is saying success in the otas automatically means you'll be successful in the regular season. it's just good to see that the mistakes and imperfections we saw in the past with our qbs and receivers aren't present in this years otas. hopefully, they can build off of that.

    you have to start somewhere and doing the little things right sets you up to do the big things right.

    here's a flash from the past. an article from last seasons otas:

    BEREA, Ohio -- Browns coach Eric Mangini explained Tuesday why the quarterbacks have looked a little ragged this week and last week during voluntary practices.

    "It's a group thing," said Mangini. "If the routes are run crisper and at a more precise depth, then some of the throws will improve as they learn some the reads better and the plays better."

    Mangini also said the staff has thrown "a ton of stuff at them and it's high, high, high volume. We're exposing the group to as much as possible, as opposed to getting it in small chunks."

    Last Thursday, both quarterbacks were picked off in their two-minute drills, Derek Anderson by D'Qwell Jackson and Brady Quinn by rookie Coye Francies. Tuesday, both players had passes batted down at the line of scrimmage -- Anderson by Kenyon Coleman and Quinn by Leon Williams, and cornerback Eric Wright got his hands on a deep Quinn pass, but it was ruled out of bounds.

    Anderson also had to take a lap after a botched trick play, but the errant snap wasn't his fault.

    what a team does in the regular season starts with what they do in mini camp, the otas and training camp. you have to build off of something in order to have a chance to be successful in the regular season.
