"One time, at Browns camp...."

Even though camp started over a week ago, it only now feels like it had really gotten going. I love the fact that the QBs are battling like everyone else and imagine it really creates a sense of competition among all the players. That's good too because at every position except WR + RB there's a lot to be determined. Faine is finally in camp and that should unleash a good battle for the guard spots. The young linebacker corp sounds fired up. And while the number of unsigned rookies is aggravating, I think the team has gotten the two rookies it really needed most into camp. With all the action going on in Berea, you know the rest of the draftees are bouncing off the walls. The only reall "negatives" so far is the silence regarding certain players and positions: Warren has been quiet, nobody is mentioning the DBs, etc. But we are sure to learn a lot from the Bills scrimmage this Saturday.

Some stuff in the news today:

FA Cornerback Jermaine Jones has signed a contract. He's got a little experience so that is good. The more the merrier. And perhaps this is part of the "negotiating" with unsigned rookie DBs Crocker and Lehan...

Over 20,000 tickets are sold for Saturday's scrimmage at the stadium. That's more than... oh never mind.

C Brown is practicing, but only once a day and only in on-on-one drills. I hate to be pessimistic, but it sure seems like he's still hurt. If he really passed his physicial you'd think he'd be going 100%. Then again, maybe it will take him a while to regain confidence in his knee. Wonder if he'll play in the scrimmage.

I get the feeling Faine is going to be a great fit for this team. Yeah, I know he may not be an All-Pro, but this offensive line needs a leader and there's little doubt he'll be one. I'm happier with the 1st round pick now than I was after the draft.
