Is anyone going to the scrimmage on Sunday?

I do not believe the Browns family night will be televised, but I do think we can gather some early information on our schemes based on what we do at the scrimmage. The Plain Dealer is reporting that Mangini wants the scrimmage to have "as close to a game feel as possible".

I would love if anyone who plans on attending could pay attention to what we are running and take some notes for us all.

A few things I am interested in are:

Offensively

How do we attempt to run the ball? Do we pull linemen? Are we running up the middle or to the outside? Are we zone blocking? Are there counters or misdirections?
What kinds of formations do we use on offense? Lots of WRs? Lots of TEs? Shotgun or under center? Do we run or pass out of those formations?
Do we use motions and formation shifts?
Is our passing game more of a spread, West Coast attack, or do we look to throw down the field off of more 7-step drops?

Defensively

What do our linemen do immediately after the snap? Are they looking to shoot in to a gap, attacking the spaces between linemen, or do they shoot their arms right at the OL, looking to two-gap?
Are the DL and LBs shifted "over" and "under"? Or do they pretty much line up at the same techinques all the time?
How much do we move before the snap? Who is doing the moving?
Do we use a lot of 8 man fronts? Against which formations?
Are our CBs up near the line of scrimmage or off of it?
What are our safeties doing? Do they switch in terms of which one is left/right, strong/weak, or forward/deep?
How many rushers do we send at the QB?

Here's hoping the scrimmage goes well and our scheming is better than it was in 2008.

I have seen some shotgun when I went to a practice. I think as far as what we pass to it depends on the quarterback. I think if Quinn is QB, we will use the TE more than if Anderson is the QB.

•How many rushers do we send at the QB?

again, at the practice I was at I saw us use some corners do flat out rushes so I would look at some corner rushes as well as the normal guys.

I’m either going to go to the HOF festivities or hit the scrimmage.
