NON-TWEET/ RapidReports

3:43:53 pm Browns PK Phil Dawson knows new coach Eric Mangini has run a physical. intense camp, but he's not complaining. "To watch the other guys go through what they're going through, I'm not about to comment that I have it rough." he joked.

3:40:47 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini criticized his receiving corps for dropping too many passes throughout camp. "That comes down to focus," he said.

3:31:10 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini stressing concentration in regard to securing the football in the passing game: "You can run a great play, have great protection, run a great route and have a great throw. But a lack of focus on catching the ball can turn a great play into a bad one."

3:27:19 pm TE Robert Royal, a free agent pickup from Buffalo, has dropped several passes during camp. Coach

2:59:27 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini admitted that it's taking KR Josh Cribbs time to adapt to playing more WR, but he's pleased with one area of his game. "He's gotten open and he's done a nice job in terms of route depths," Mangini said.

2:58:22 pm The Browns worked extensively today on the two-minute drill. Coach Eric Mangini said he with time running out his offense can complete a pass, return to the line of scrimmage and spike the ball to stop the clock within 16 seconds.

2:55:48 pm The Browns officially announced the signing of free agent DB Brandon Anderson. Anderson had been signed by the Indianapolis Colts but was let go quickly. He made 45 tackles as a senior with the University of Akron.

2:54:52 pm Second-year TE Martin Rucker , who is battling with Robert Royal and Steve Heiden for playing time at that position, lost 10 pounds during the offseason to improve his speed and quickness. He is now at about 243 pounds.

11:15:28 am Browns DB Nick Sorenson, who might be on the bubble in regard to making the club, provided blanket coverage and batted away a Brady Quinn pass in the two-minute drill.

11:09:37 am Browns QB Derek Anderson has struggled in the past throwing short passes accurately, but has performed better in that aspect of the game. He just fired two strikes in the two-minute drill.

Since practice ran long today look for my report to be up on the website around 1:00 PM EST. Have a great weekend!

Practice has ended and sorry for the lack of tweets bit it was due to detailed note taking for more statistical anaylsis on the QBs

10:50:32 am Reliable Browns PK Phil Dawson , who has no competition in camp, just hit a 54-yard field goal dead center.

10:45:52 am The Browns short passing game has been crisp most of the day. That could prove critical considering the lack of a deep threat on the roster.

10:42:30 am The majority of "punishment laps" throughout camp have been run by Browns OL for jumping offside and committing other mental mistakes.

10:36:16 am Browns special teams coach Brad Seely expressed his satisfaction with his group's kickoff coverage, yelling "Good ... Real good!" on successive plays.

10:34:20 am Pass blocking, which was one of few Browns strengths a year ago, has been solid throughout camp.

10:30:00 am Browns rookie RB James Davis continues to make his presence felt. He hauled in a pass from Brady Quinn and faked out two defenders for a long gain in game simulation.

10:25:21 am Joe Thomas and Eric Steinbach have been lining up consistently on the left side of the OL with the first team today. The loss of Rex Hadnot to injury might solidify Steinbach as the starter at LG.

9:58:06 am Practice had to be stopped for a short time to remove a zealous fan from clutching QB Anderson's leg...he was identified as just Lumbergh. ..jk

DawgScooper

Rogers beat his guys twice during pass rushing drills

NON-TWEET/ RapidReports

9:36:06 am Browns WR Braylon Edwards, who led the NFL in drops a year ago, continues to snag everything thrown his way.

DawgScooper

1 on 1 WR vs DB drills Wright blanketed Edwards to prevent a catch an then asked the crowd where his cheers were. Crowd clapped and laughed

NON-TWEET/ RapidReports

9:23:12 am A group of female teenage camp attendees with a familiar cry to Browns QB Brady Quinn: "We love you, Brady!"

DawgScooper

Dawson and Zastudil both lined up to to kick the ball, but Zastudil fakes his kick and then Dawson kicks it for an onside kick. Trickery!

NON-TWEET/ RapidReports

9:17:21 am Both WRs Paul Hubbard and Josh Cribbs dropped easy catches. Hubbard has been inconsistent throughout camp.

DawgScooper

The special teams are practicing their low, squib kicks with Steptoe and Norwood returning the ball. Alex Mack just returned a short kick

NON-TWEET/ RapidReports

Barton, Bowens, and Mosley were free agents. One reporter made the mistake during minicamp of asking Barton about "coming over in the trade", and he wasn't happy about it. To many players, getting traded is an insult of sorts; your old team was willing to get rid of you for someone else.

I wouldn't be too hard on Shep - for his comment about the draft. I think he was mostly talking about the draft as well as soem of the guys we got from the NY Jets via the tradedown as well as the FA route. I'm sure the players DO get mad at the media because they're getting paid to report accurate info.

I'm excited about what we've done in the offseason. I hope the football gods are KIND to us on the injury front this year. I'm not as devastated about Hadnot as others might be. I think it SUCKS because he's worked hard from what I heard; BUT I liked knowing there are better alternatives to him on this roster.

Mankok is changing mankind in Cleveland 1 day at a time. We finally gotta a team with more testosterone than Worthlessberger's dates.

My son got autographs from BQ, JT, and JL. I was really impressed with James Davis look really good and also liked how Mass look too. BQ looked really sharp and DA didn't look bad at all. Overall looked great.

Another side note Ratliff dancing was so funny and then DA started too. Great time.

I will say Anderson gave us ten wins got our hopes up then crushed us against a team that is horrible (cincy) he threw 4 ints. wtf I was so mad after that game I went on a rampage to go stomp a few Steeler fans. He needs to prove himself again and after last year I dont think any of us want to give the guy a chance.

Sorry man, but your a mumbling mess of wrongs. Quinn had a average showing and DA a poor showing. The fact they both have been so poor and one of them(Quinn) had a average showing, it getting so much hype is mad.........just like your obsession for DA.

were you there?

my obsession for DA? is that what it is?

take my bet in the other thread if you are as confident as your claims. i'd love to make you broke and wrong at the same time.

apparently this new avatar's juju is off the charts! it has seriously shifted the scales of normalcy into bizarro-ville.

meanwhile, as DA has quietly gained momentum in the QB race, Lumbergh's thank(s) stock has somehow nearly doubled. there are people posturing and backpedaling all over, some even showing "the assasin" some opportunity for forgiveness (i even saw shep throw his former QB incumbent under the bus once)!

this is too much power for one person to have...

still, in other news it apparently has no affect on the OBR biosphere.

actually i don't think Quinn's advantage is real D'Q. every other site i read but OBR is reporting DA had a good day and that his short game shows obvious improvement. i liked how the OBR write-up didn't elaborate on that drill at all. 🙄

DA has been the more successful QB overall...according to sites that don't show Quinn bias (and it doesn't appear they are showing DA bias either fwiw, just reality).

it's funny how after reading the OBR stuff some of you come away thinking things no one else out there is reporting...like that Quinn is overshadowing DA right now. and they show serious poetic license how they skip over nearly any of Quinn's miscues but elaborate and put DA's in bold.

it's a beautiful thing they aren't the only ones out there reporting--truth is making it's way to the fanbase slowly but surely. it's sinking in DA's not going to go away and people are finally accepting he has some serious value. who knows? come September my brethren might actually be able to handle him being named the starter after-all.

Its sounding like one QB has finally outshined the other during practice. Hopefully this lights a fire under DA and they can be even again, but we'll hear "Both QBs were awesome today, slight advantage to..." instead of "Both QBs suck but ... sucked least". Or Quinn will just run away with it, I'd take that too.

He got a sack during one of the scrimmages yesterday. Otherwise, I didn't notice him much, though he did look bigger than I expected - he's got some nice guns.

He certainly does. To put up the most reps (30) of any LB at the combine certainly speaks for itself, but to do it only weighing about 230lbs!! I can't wait to see this beast develop!

I expect this guy to struggle agains Rogers. I also hear he is improving all the time. I am sure he is learning a lot lining up against rogers and from the other vet's on the line. This guy is smart and strong.. He's gonna be there. But i think some of your expectations are a bit high if you think he is going to walk in as a rookie and start pushing around Rogers and these other veteran DLman.. Give him a few weeks to get used to the size speed and power of everyone else and to learn the plays..He's gonna be just fine. It's so early in camp. It seems like all the WR's are doing well. But guys.. Start forgetting the name steptoe..he will NEVER make the roster.. He never should have last year.. he's terrible.

Redskins have a good defense. As I remember, the skin's defense was good, blitzing very good. Anderson did a nice fourth down conversion throw to Heiden. That's the only good thing about that game.

I have followed Robo for a while. He is what he is.

I am a Buckeye too, actually a student there. I wasn't a fan of him coming into the draft, because I watched him drop a lot of TP's passes first hand. But he was very impressive his junior year and at times his senior year, and was exceptional the day I went to camp. Caught everything.
