REPORT DATES: Rookies July 23rd, Veterans July 26th

SITE: Cleveland Browns Training Facility, Berea, OH

CAMP OBJECTIVES: Both the Browns' brass and their fan base know that the fate of the team's season rests largely on the play of quarterback Charlie Frye, so the development of the second-year pro during training camp will be analyzed greatly. Head coach Romeo Crennel also needs to establish the depth chart behind Frye, meaning Ken Dorsey and one of three inexperienced players - Derek Anderson, Lang Campbell, or Darrell Hackney - will have to impress as well. Frye must build a rapport with his receivers, most notably tight end Kellen Winslow and wideout Braylon Edwards. The depth chart behind running back Reuben Droughns is crowded, and it is believed that this will be the year either Lee Suggs or William Green is finally deemed expendable. The work-in- progress line added a top starter in center LeCharles Bentley (Saints) and a potential starter in tackle Kevin Shaffer (Falcons), and both need to fit in easily. There are major changes on defense, where as many as four fresh starters - nose tackle Ted Washington (Raiders), outside linebackers Willie McGinest (Patriots) and Kamerion Wimbley (Florida State), and inside linebacker D'Qwell Jackson (Maryland) - are expected to vie for starting jobs on opening day. In the punting game, where the Browns have struggled, Crennel will be happy to see Dave Zastudil (Ravens) working in a Cleveland uniform for the first time.
