My $ would be on at least 1/3 (and probably more) of the team partaking from time to time. Allegedly.

For what its worth, Lane Adkins on OBR said no truth to the twitter rumor. Richardson, Haden, Gordon are fine, and Gordon didn't fail another drug test.

After the blind squirrel (Rizzo) finding a nut, no rumor regarding the Browns would surprise me right now (if it turned out to be factual).

How many posts did last season's Browns thread have? Whichever thread has the most posts holds the OC record easily. This thread however, will crush the record by the end of the season.

Hopefully our secondary is just ridiculously good, otherwise expect to see Weeden throwing many picks this season.

Kenny Roda @roadmanwknr

Brandon Weeden said he's "Giddy" with the depth
& offensive weapons he has at his disposal.

BEREA (92.3 The Fan) -
The Browns put of the pads for the first time Sunday morning.

Coach Pat
Shurmur called it his favorite non-gameday event of the year.

Shurmur
focused on 3rd and long and the running game during the team’s 11 on 11
drills.

Trent Richardson showed why he has the potential to be lethal.
His size speed, strength and agility were on full display while making several
cutbacks during bursts up the middle.

Montario Hardesty was equally as
impressive. Shurmur said it was the best that he’s ever seen him. Hardesty is
healthy no question – now he just needs to stay that way.

Weight
Watchers: Add Josh Cribbs and Trent Richardson to the growing number of Browns
who hit the gym and shed a few pounds this offseason.

Cribbs said
Saturday that he lost 12 pounds while Richardson slimmed down by
5.

Shurmur said the weight loss is a good thing.

Greg Little
dropped 14, Mohamed Massaquoi trimmed about 15 and Montario Hardesty also shed a
few lbs before camp as well.

Barks From The Pound: There was another
packed house Sunday morning in Berea and the crowd brought their “A” game to
camp.

There was the usual oohs, ahhs, barks and cheers but there were
also a few jeers.

Tight end Alex Smith dropped a pass in coverage during
7-on-7 and a fan yelled “the NFL will stand for ‘not for long’ if you keep
dropping those.”

Newcomer Josh Gordon showed his size, speed and hands as
he made several nice catches Sunday. Following a catch up the seam a fan yelled,
“great catch Josh, now stay off the weed.”

As Brandon Weeden,
Richardson, Hardesty, Gordon and Travis Benjamin continued to get love from the
crowd, defensive end Frostee Rucker heard enough. He turned and yelled to the
fans “you can cheer for the defense too.”

After the next 2 snaps Bronx
cheers reigned down for the D from the bleachers.

Filling In: With
defensive tackles Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor out with injuries, veterans Scott
Paxson and Brian Schaefering continue to get first team reps up front in their
place.

Shurmur hasn’t forgotten about his two rookies John Hughes and
Billy Winn. Both lined up with the second team defense against the first team
offense.

After practice Shurmur admitted that it was by design because he
wants to see those two play next to each other against the offensive starters.
Shurmur added both performed well and both caught his eye.

Still Out:
Defensive tackles Ahtyba Rubin & Phil Taylor, tight end Evan Moore, fullback
Eddie Williams and receiver Carlton Mitchell did not practice Sunday.

Up
Next: The Browns will practice Monday morning at 8:45. They will be be in full
pads again. Gates open at 7:45.

I love and hate those type of tweets from training camp

Love them because I love hearing football is back, and the Brownies are back
Hate them because it's always positive all the time...and it pretty much means nothing lol

Give it time. John Clayton was at training camp today so the negative tweets should be flowing like wine very soon. :laugh:
