It's Kelly

OK, it's Kelly. That's good. I think every Browns fan should be relieved that Butch stuck to his word that this was an open competition. Holcomb seemed to get the edge in all the publicized competitions of late, but more than that it sounds like many of the players preferred him. If that's the case, then this is 100% the right decision.

Also nice to see is that Couch had admirable words about the decision. He's gotta be upset and maybe a little bitter, but he seems to realize that the only path to NFL stardom now begins with him being a good teammate and getting ready to play if/when his number is called. Who knows, maybe he is even receptive to learning something from the experience.

Now we can resume the important day-to-day matters of the last two weeks before the season starts, like -- what's up with Andre Davis's knee? That could hurt this team, though I think they could afford to have him sit for a couple weeks; better he is healthy later. WTF is up with Warren? Right now he deserves a benching far more than Couch. A LOT more, considering the play of Alvin McKinley. Haven't seen Ben Taylor get in on many playes yet -- he seems to be the least active of the "new" linebackers, but maybe that is due to the position he plays.
