2012 Training Camp Previews

How to Follow the Cleveland Browns During Training Camp

After the jump, you can find everyone we recommend following on Twitter throughout Cleveland Browns training camp, as well as a compilation of our training camp previews

Cleveland Browns 53-Man Roster Projection (Pre-Training Camp Edition)

With the Cleveland Browns scheduled to hold their first full-squad session of training camp today, it is time for my first 53-man roster projection of the season.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: CB Preview (Part 2)

In part two of our cornerback preview for training camp, we'll take a look at the roster odds for James Dockery, Trevin Wade, Emanuel Davis, Tashaun Gipson, and Antwaun Reed.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: CB Preview (A Strong Unit)

The first part will cover the top four players at the position, including starters Joe Haden and Sheldon Brown, and backups Dimitri Patterson and Buster Skrine.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: S Preview (Low on Depth)

Entering the 2012 season, safety is the only position on the team in which a start was lost and not directly replaced by somebody in the offseason or via the draft. Let's look at the six safeties who are currently on the roster.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: Special Teams Preview

For a long time, the Cleveland Browns' special teams unit was among the best in the league. Things kind of fell apart for the unit last year, though.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: LB Preview, Part 2

The six candidates in part two of our preview include Quinton Spears, Benjamin Jacobs, Brian Smith, Craig Robertson, JoJo Dickson, and L.J. Fort.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: LB Preview (Simply Stable)

Although D'Qwell Jackson had a career year in 2011, it is probably best to describe the team's linebacker situation as "stable" at best.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: WR Preview (Can Cooper Squeeze In?)

Today's preview takes a look at wide receivers Carlton Mitchell, Josh Cooper, Rod Windsor, Bert Reed, Jermaine Saffold, and Owen Spencer.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: WR Preview (It's Complicated)

The complication is this: for as bad as this group of receivers on the Cleveland Browns has been billed, you don't really look at any one of them and say, "we should get rid of him."

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: TE Preview (An Emerging Star?)

Ladies and gentlemen, meet your five tight ends on the 2012 Cleveland Browns: the same exact group that was with the team last year. Although Cleveland did not have studs at the tight end position...

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: OL Preview (The Rest)

The players in today's preview include Jarrod Shaw, Stanley Daniels, Jake Anderson, Matt Cleveland, and J.B. Shugarts.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: OL Preview (The Backups)

Unlike the starters, the five player's in today's edition are ranked in order in terms of notoriety. One thing is clear with the Browns' backups: there aren't any long-time veterans on the roster.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: OL Preview (Starting Unit)

To cap off our series of Down in the Trenches, we now shift from the defensive line to the offensive line. Today, we will take a look at the five men who will be in the starting lineup, protecting for Brandon Weeden and creating lanes for Trent Richardson.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: DL Preview, Part 3 (The Rest)

Except for Auston English, the guys in today's article will probably be treated as afterthoughts throughout most of training camp -- they'll be lucky if they get some action with the third-teamers.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: DL Preview, Part 2 (Primary Backups)

I would expect the Browns to keep at least eight defensive linemen. After that, you begin playing a numbers game of carrying one less player than you normally would at a different position. Therefore, it is unlikely that all six players in today's preview will make the final roster.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: DL Preview (Starting Unit)

After the jump are the four defensive linemen who are currently slated to start for the Browns -- Jabaal Sheard, Scott Paxson, Ahtyba Rubin, and Frostee Rucker. I have ranked the four players in order of importance or level of talent.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: FB Preview (What's That Smell?)

Case in point: how many of us are in love with Marecic's possible successor, Brad Smelley, after never hearing of the guy prior to the team drafting him in the seventh round?

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: RB Preview, Part 2 (Room for Ogbonnaya?)

Part of the reason there is some uncertainty with the other guys, particularly Hardesty, is the fact that Chris Ogbonnaya came on the scene last year and put on a couple of impressive showings.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: RB Preview, Part 1 (Prime Investment)

Richardson is the team's prime investment in 2012, but he's the only fresh face at the running back position. Returning this season are third-year man Montario Hardesty and veteran Brandon Jackson.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: QB Preview, Part 2 (The Wallace Factor)

In Part 1 of our Quarterback Preview, we looked at rookie Brandon Weeden and third-year man Colt McCoy. Today, we take a look at the other two quarterbacks on the roster -- Seneca Wallace and Thaddeus Lewis. We know where Lewis stands on the depth chart heading into camp, but what about Wallace (and McCoy)?

Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2012: QB Preview, Part 1 (An Unexpected Turn)

When QB Brandon Weeden ended up with the Cleveland Browns in April, he certainly wasn't the first quarterback most fans had in mind after last season. With that said, the team's quarterback situation has fans excited heading into training camp.
