For one, I wish Holmgren would get off of his soap box about fan behavior at a professional football game. If he wants to take his wife and kids to a game that's fine and I am sure that he knows where the hard tailgaters like to party. I would implement nickel beer Sunday afternoons.

CLEVELAND -- Browns punter Dave Zastudil said he's been recovering from surgery to repair a torn right patella tendon, but that he hopes to be ready for the start of the season Sept. 12 at Tampa Bay.

Cleveland Browns rookies are getting opportunities with first team | cleveland.com

* The only rookies currently working with the first team are safety T.J. Ward and guard Shawn Lauvao. Lauvao is the indirect beneficiary of Tony Pashos' time on the sideline with cold symptoms. Floyd Womack has moved over to Pashos' right tackle spot, giving Lauvao the spot at right guard.
* Receiver Brian Robiskie made a nice leaping catch in the corner of the end zone on a lob throw from Jake Delhomme. Robiskie, who looks more comfortable and fluid in his second camp, said the quarterbacks are putting the ball in the right places. Robiskie is pressing Josh Cribbs for the No. 2 receiver spot opposite Mohamed Massaquoi.

BEREA -- Observations, opinions and some facts on the Browns morning practice ...

* The only rookies currently working with the first team are safety T.J. Ward and guard Shawn Lauvao. Lauvao is the indirect beneficiary of Tony Pashos' time on the sideline with cold symptoms. Floyd Womack has moved over to Pashos' right tackle spot, giving Lauvao the spot at right guard.





* Ward got beat by fullback Lawrence Vickers on a route up the center of the field. Delhomme put the ball on the money, in stride, enabling Vickers to separate for lots of yards.






* Lauvao also is getting snaps at center with the third team. The top backup center behind starter Alex Mack currently is Tony Yates.

* Receiver Brian Robiskie made a nice leaping catch in the corner of the end zone on a lob throw from Jake Delhomme. Robiskie, who looks more comfortable and fluid in his second camp, said the quarterbacks are putting the ball in the right places. Robiskie is pressing Josh Cribbs for the No. 2 receiver spot opposite Mohamed Massaquoi.

* The linebackers with the first team lined up this way: Matt Roth, Chris Gocong, D'Qwell Jackson and Scott Fujita.

* Delhomme hit James Davis on a nice screen play. Somehow, nose tackle Ahtyba Rubin became the only defender in pursuit. Davis separated easily, but the 330-pound Rubin had to impress coaches by chasing him valiantly for about 25 yards.

* Eric Wright intercepted Delhomme in the end zone on a pass intended for Chansi Stuckey. Delhomme just threw it up, as Stuckey was surrounded by three defenders.

If you ask me Robiskie is a better receiver than Mohammed but I also think that both of them should start over Joshua. He can be used in other ways.

Also read yesterday that Roth was around 270 pounds and still playing OLB. I think a better trim down or they might put him on the DL:wink2:

MOST of the BP members never had the luxury of watching the Dixon/Minnifield tandem... but as a kid, you felt very comfortable with those two on the corners.. never needed a zone.. it was man-to-man baby

There were very very good covering receivers but I never thought that they were the best in NFL history.

For the Browns:huh:

I would like to see the big guy get off the PUP because I think he will be a valuable asset to this team once he gets his head on straight and hopefully Holmgren can do that. Keep on seeing Robiskie's name pop up which is very nice to see. I hope Dave Z. is ready for prime time when it comes because our backup punter is not a very good one.

* Nose tackle Shaun Rogers, who still hasn't passed his physical, did some work on blocking sleds with a trainer nearby. It appeared a sign of progress that Rogers might soon come off PUP and rejoin his teammates. But coach Eric Mangini threw water on that thought when he said, "I don't think we're close right now. I think we're quite a ways away."
* Nice day for reserve defensive back Gerard Lawson. He stepped in front of rookie receiver Johnathan Haggerty and intercepted a pass thrown by Colt McCoy. Later he picked off Seneca Wallace on a pass intended for tight end Evan Moore. Lawson lost some status as a core special teamer in Mangini's first season, so anytime he shows up on practice video is a good thing for him.

* Jake Delhomme also suffered an interception by Sheldon Brown in man coverage against Brian Robiskie. But a few plays later, Delhomme connected with Robiskie on a long completion over Mike Adams in the end zone. Robiskie might have pushed off, but no flag was thrown.

* Earlier, Delhomme was a little late and short trying to get the ball to Chansi Stuckey, who got behind a DB. Stuckey got his hands on the ball, but couldn't hold on.

* Cornerback Chris Roberson suffered a leg injury in coverage of receiver Josh Cribbs. He was carted off the field. Mangini had no update afterwards. Cribbs made an acrobatic one-hand grab on the play while falling to the ground.

* Nobody hits the pads or blocking sleds harder among the defensive linemen than nose tackle Ahtyba Rubin. After subbing for the injured Rogers and making five starts last year, Rubin appears determined to keep the spot.

* Punter Dave Zastudil is getting his right knee checked by his own doctor, Mangini said. Zastudil has not been seen the past few days after disclosing he had surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon.

* Defensive line coach Bryan Cox likes to get under the skin of his players. During a break, he told them, "Remember, if I yell at you, I don't hate you. I just dislike you."

* One of the nastiest players on defense is linebacker Matt Roth. There's no tackling, but Roth knocked big tight end Benjamin Watson off his feet with just a quick pop during a play.

Practice notes

* Receiver Brian Robiskie has been looking great in camp, but dropped two balls today, including a deep ball from Delhomme.

* The offensive highlights of the day were provided by those two wild cats Josh Cribbs and Seneca Wallace. Fans are going to love these two on the field together. Cribbs hit Wallace with a short pass in the left flat and Wallace, thanks in part to receiver John Haggerty's block, ran in untouched for a TD. Later, Wallace hit Cribbs with a TD pass in the back right corner of the end zone. Wallace praised Cribbs for not putting his hands up until the last second.

* Tight Ben Watson and safety Mike Adams both redeemed their practice-free certificates, which they won for stellar offseason performances. Eric Barton used his on Wednesday evening.

It would be nice to see if McDonald could step up his game and help out at CB this coming season. Certainly know that we need a few more CBs.
Don't know if I like the idea of Cribbs playing safety. He is too valuable on offense to take the chance of him being hurt playing defense. Sounds like Winslow covering a kickoff:shake:
Sounds like Hardesty is getting closer to being able to participate in training camp but also sounds like Dave Z. might be headed for some "minor" surgery.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Brandon McDonald, who lost his starting cornerback job with six games left last season, was the defensive star of the Brown team's 14-6 victory over the White during Saturday's Family Day scrimmage.

McDonald kicked off the scoring for the Brown squad by picking off rookie Colt McCoy on an underthrown pass to Syndric Steptoe. McDonald raced 40 yards for the touchdown, with Chris Jennings grasping at his jersey near the goal line. He executed a front flip into the end zone for the score, knowing full well he'll be reprimanded Sunday.

"I haven't heard anything, but I'm sure I will," he said. "We scored six points, so it doesn't really matter to me."

In addition to the pick, McDonald broke up an early deep ball to Josh Cribbs and a third-quarter pass over the middle to Steptoe. He also had good coverage on the previous pass that Steptoe dropped.

Cribbs at safety? Cribbs played one snap at safety, blitzing off the left side. He said he would've gotten to the quarterback had it been a live game.

"I don't want to put my foot in my mouth, but coach really likes me back there and wants to give me a shot," said Cribbs. "I want to take advantage of the opportunity every chance I get."

Haden update: General Manager Tom Heckert said during the radio broadcast on WMMS-FM Saturday that Haden will probably won't be one of the top two starters right away.

"He'll probably start off in the nickel stuff, but he'll play for us this year," said Heckert. "We're high on Joe Haden."

Haden also returned a kickoff 22 yards, something he started in practice this week.

Hardesty sighting: Rookie running back Montario Hardesty was seen for the first time since camp opened, but only on the sidelines. He was in shorts with his right knee taped. The Browns continue to be cautious with him. ... Punter Dave Zastudil was not seen at the scrimmage. Mangini hasn't ruled out more surgery for Zastudil.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Browns receiver Braylon Edwards, traded to the Jets last season, told the New York Times that he was just way too Hot in Cleveland.
He also slammed Cleveland and everyone in it for being unhip and unhappenin'.
"There?s nothing going on in Cleveland,'' Edwards told the Times. "There?s no real estate. There?s no social life, no social networking. All the people who have something going on leave Cleveland.
"So Cleveland has nothing, and I came in there with a New York-type of essence. So what? That was the attitude I came in with. Like, this is who I am. They didn?t like the flash.?
His mother, Malesa Plater, told the paper:
?He came from a team that was always looking for a savior to a team that knows how to win. No one would understand what he?s been through unless you?ve been drowning.''
Edwards played the tired, worn out card that people in Cleveland didn't like him because he showed up on the first day in an expensive Italian suit and a Bentley. He also played the "they didn't like me because I was from Michigan'' card. (Note to Edwards: fans didn't like you because you dropped pass after pass after pass...The coaching staff didn't want you because you refused to obey the rules).
