we could really use the likes of shaun rogers and shaun smith running camps like this for the browns, then we would know success was coming. thank you h&h for the types of players you have brought in, makes this team easier to follow.

Everything helps at this point. A player coach like Fujita seems to know what he is doing, and there’s always fundamentals and technique which is where it all starts, continues, and finished when it comes to playing the game…you can always get better and improve no matter what point in the season.

I get that these workouts have a limited benefit and involve risk but I think it’s a good sign when a team that’s going to have new systems on both sides of the ball get together to build chemistry and get as familiar as they can (sans coaches) with the plays. The most talented teams don’t often win the SB, the teams who play together the best and have the best chemistry often do. I think most players get that and it’s why a lot of them have had these team workouts.

Glad to hear about this. Fujita was sorely missed when he went down w/ injury last year. Guy made all the calls on defense, he has a high football IQ.

I see Colt McCoy becoming a great NFL QB. He has the talent, work ethic and drive to be a Drew Brees type leader/player, maybe just a bit more athletic/mobile.

Much of the same things they said about Brees coming out of the draft are being used to describe McCoy today. He has been a winner on every level he has played and I feel if the Browns give him the chance, he will be their starter for the next 10-15 years. McCoy will get better every year he is in the NFL.

Colt McCoy=Brees lite, might not have the eye popping numbers from Brees time in NO, but I could see him putting up around the same numbers Brees did in SD, with 1 or 2 more playmakers on offense. Although, Cribbs, Hillis, Little and Watson just might be able to get the job done.

Who knows how much value these player only workouts may actually have, but for teams like the Browns, who are changing coaches, systems and a likely number of starters, it probably can’t hurt.
