Browns OTA Update

2012 OTA - May 22
Cleveland Browns - John H. Reid 111


The day began with Colt McCoy taking snaps under center with the first team offense during 7 on 7 drills, then Weeden took his turn also under center with the 7 on 7. Most of the quarterbacks were off target a little and has some balls off target, but that is to be expected when working with new receivers and shaking off the rust. Brandon Weeden definitely has the stronger arm of the two quarterbacks with out a doubt. When they went to 11 on 11 drills the first pass from McCoy was picked off by Chris Gocong. Punter Reggie Hodges was as practice and looked good coming of a season ending injury last year during training camp. Kicker Phil Dawson was not participating in ota`s but is expected to be at the mandatory camp in June. Colt McCoy is going to have a tough time beating out Weeden in my opinion just simply because we have seen what he is capable of and you draft a guy in the first round to play not sit, especially on a team that is desperate for a franchise quarterback such as the Browns are. Wide receiver Travis Benjamin could be in the mix for a starting job, he has the speed and can catch but the only thing that concerns me is if he goes up against a physical DB he may have some trouble getting off the line at 175 pounds. Defensive tackle John Hughes, the third-round pick of the Browns had an ice pack on the back of his right leg about one hour into practice. He might have tweaked a hamstring, but he never left the field and participated in a walk through near the end of the session. Pat Shurmur said he was pleased overall with the day and that running back Trent Richardson looked good also.
