Romeo Crennel proved true to his word. While the third preseason game is the one where first teamers see the most action, Crennel said in a recent practice that he wouldn't be telling them when they were coming out of the game – primarily because he thought it mad them in a hurry to get in and get out.

Quinn, starting for Anderson, opened the third quarter and began to march the team down the field until stalling no a fourth-and-two play that resulted in an incompletion to running back Jerome Harrison that almost saw him throwing from his backside.

It's difficult to keep your eyes on a video camera screen and concentrate on play on the field when you're out at Cleveland Browns training camp, but one thing clear from Wednesday's practice is that Brady Quinn had another lackluster day.

The downside:  two passes blocked at the line and a fumbled snap.

The upside:  Well, hey he played fairly well against the New York Jets last Thursday night.  Maybe Quinn's just one of those guys that has an average practice, but shows up when it matters most – game time.  If that's true he'll be the type of guy who drives his coaches nuts.  Still, it would help if Quinn showed some consistency.  I know.  I know.  If and when he gets his shot, as long as he puts up "Ws" what does it matter.

With Steve Sanders getting some work with the first unit the other day, givng the young receiver a shot at proving himself, Travis Wilson received his turn and delivered as he has all season.  Perhaps giving Sanders a shot with the first unit offered a way to push Wilson more, especially given the fact he's not fully lived up to his potential since arriving from Oklahoma.  We shall see.

Kellen Winslow looks to be in mid-season form already. The Browns tight end looks perfectly content to bowl over opposing defensive backs – even if they're his own.  Take the case of Travis Key, the newly signed safety who crashed into Winslow (literally) on one play.  On the next, the Browns tight end proceeded to slap him away from him like a fly.

Of note:  Rookie tight end Martin Rucker will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday morning.  That's too bad because Rucker had just begun to find his groove. He had a decent showing against the Jets and had stepped it up in training camp…Fans planning to attend training camp before it closes Saturday should be aware that all remaining practices are from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

It's time that Cleveland's football fans deal with reality.

 Heck, I'll confess that it's time I deal with reality because I'm still lukewarm on Derek Anderson.  Listening to the fans at training camp chant:  "Brady! Brady!" makes me wonder what they're thinking.  Folks, Derek Anderson is your quarterback.  PERIOD.  STOP. IT. NOW.

There's no getting around it.  And Anderson showed why he is on the field during Sunday's lone practice.  While the guy's definitely got the arm and the confidence in that arm to be a gunslinger, he showed some patience Sunday and in Friday's practice at Cleveland Browns Stadium.  In the matter of a couple of seconds, Anderson went through his progressions on more than a few plays.  Look left.  Look down the center of the field. Look right.  BOOM!  Ball.

At times, Quinn looks to stil be struggling with that and his accuracy.  He continues to overthrow wide open receivers.  In short:  unless Anderson turns into the second coming of Paul McDonald, Quinn will be holding a clipboard this year.

Thanks to WKNR's Mark "Munch" Bishop for pointing something out this afternoon.  During the scrum that is the war in the trenches, sometimes you can miss a trend.  One noticeable one with the Browns' O-line:  they're not just working their stronger left side that features Joe Thomas and Eric Steinbach.   They're running to that right side as well and the holes have been there for Jamal Lewis to run through – as he did on several occasions today.

Tight end Darnell Dinkins is one of those who has been catching practically everything thrown his way.  This presents the Browns with an interesing dilemma. They have four players at the position who could conceivably make the team – Kellen Winslow, Dinkins, Steve Heiden and draft pick Martin Rucker.  They say competition makes you better, this one is going to get intense before pre-season is over.

 More and more it looks like the Browns have the potential to put two dominating cornerbacks on the field in Eric Wright and Brandon McDonald.  Wright made a couple of tremendous plays on balls thrown by Derek Anderson.

Charlie Frye's days with the Browns have ended.

The Browns confirmed this afternoon that they have traded the former University of Akron quarterback to the Seattle Seahawks for an undisclosed draft choice, pending Frye passing a physical examination. The Browns also said they have signed free-agent quarterback Ken Dorsey to a one-year contract.

Frye started Sunday in the regular-season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He completed 4-of-10 passes for 34 yards with one interception before leaving midway through the second quarter. He had been sacked five times in the game.

Last season, Frye started 13 games, compiling a 4-9 record. He completed 252-of-393 passes for 2,454 yards with 10 touchdowns and 17 interceptions for a quarterback rating of 72.0.

The Browns selected Frye in the third round (No. 67 overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. In three seasons in Cleveland, Frye appeared in 21 games (19 starts) and was 354-of-567 passing for 3,490 yards with 14 touchdowns and 23 interceptions for a 71.1 quarterback rating.

Dorsey was waived Sept. 1 when the Browns trimmed their roster after their final preseason game. He appeared in one game last year for the Browns and has appeared in 12 games, including 10 starts, during his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers and the Browns.

FOXSports.com football writer Jay Glazier reported that the Browns would receive a sixth-round pick from the Seahawks. The Seahawks have been seeking a backup quarterback so they can move current backup Seneca Wallace to other positions around the field, he said.
