The Steelers are doomed-doomed, I tell you!

Ok maybe not. But there has been a lot of good stuff in these last two preseason games. I think you can see that our scrubs are better than Chicago's scrubs, for one thing. (Actually, this is true. The Browns have excellent depth, almost everywhere-and most are youngsters who will mutate into starters over time.)

It's true that the playbooks were held close to the vest, but everybody seems to think that works only one way. The Browns offense showed little of what's in store for real opponents, and Grantham's defense, now entering it's third season and with more appropriate personnel, has yet to show what it can do.

I noticed that both Quinn and Frye--and perhaps Anderson and Dorsey, as well, have thrown behind Jerome Harrison more than once (whereas Quinn has been on the money with everyone else.) This probably only means that he's significantly faster than both the other running backs. They're all pretty short and stocky, and flare-outs and similar passes are a staple. This is easy to fix. Don't worry about it.

Gil Brandt clarified some things for me today on NFL Radio. Quinn was not accurate until his senior year. He was not accurate at his work-out, and in the Browns mini-camp (when he was CHANGING HIS MECHANICS at the behest of the coaches.) He HAS been VERY accurate throughout preseason in real fake games.

This is with many different recievers--the least of which were Winslow and Edwards. He seems to like Josh Cribbs better than anybody else. That TE I told you about--Faulk? Or something. He's adjusted to each of them. That's impressive.

That goober Wilson sure enough dropped an easy pass, but then caught three. Can't give up on him. Northcutt, very sure-handed in college, went through this. Turned out to be a vision probem for him, but for Wilson--by his own admission--it's a headuphisass problem. (Well, he didn't use those exact words.) Chandler won't let him get away with it.

More later.
