Training Camp Postcard: Cleveland Browns

August 12, 2009

Our reporter spent the day at Cleveland Browns training camp in Berea, Ohio. Here are his notes.


> The Derek Anderson-Brady Quinn quarterback battle is nearing its second full week and a clear winner is beginning to emerge: every team who gets to play the Browns this year.


> Former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel is oddly still in his usual spot at training camp: asleep in a golf cart on the sidelines.


> First round draft pick Alex Mack is adjusting nicely to the size of the NFL ball when snapping it through his legs to the quarterback. Great pick.


> Braylon Edwards keeps trying to run a tip drill every time a ball is thrown his way.


> The scene from the final season of "The Sopranos" where they gawk in amazement at Eric Mangini is to that show what a scene in which Jon Hamm's character stares dumbstruck at the playing abilities of Bob Uecker would be to "Mad Men."


> Kellen Winslow is no longer on the team, but the Browns practice facility is still heavily mined. Use caution if you visit!
