Browns coach Eric Mangini press conference highlights
Browns coach Eric Mangini met with media Saturday after the final practice of the team's mandatory minicamp in Berea. Here are some of the highlights:
- Overall, Mangini said he liked the progress he saw from several new players.
- The Browns have rotated a few players on the right side of their offensive line. Mangini said they'll continue to do that later this summer in training camp. In the mix on the right side: Tony Pashos and John St. Clair (tackles for the most part), Floyd Womack and Shawn Lauvao (guards for the most part).
- Mangini said he likes what he's seen from his receivers. Joshua Cribbs has become a better receiver, Mangini said. He added Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi performed well during minicamp.
- Mangini likes what he's seen from quarterback Jake Delhomme, who's the projected starter. "There's no doubt who's in control," Mangini said. "There's no doubt what we're doing."
- Mangini said several players, including rookie running back Montario Hardesty and cornerback Eric Wright, were limited for precautionary reasons. "We don't want to press it too hard," he said.
- Linebacker Scott Fujita had a cut on his right hand and sat out as a result, Mangini said.
- Mangini on rookie cornerback Joe Haden: "I really like the way that he's approached things. I think the volume of information has been new. ... He's done a good job. He's been put in a lot of spots where he's had to adjust."
- What young guys have jumped out to Mangini? receivers Carlton Mitchel and Johnathan Haggerty, plus safety Larry Asante and offensive lineman Shawn Lauvao.
