Tony Grossi's observations on the Browns' morning practice on Day 3 of training camp.
BEREA -- Observations, opinions and some facts on the Browns morning practice ...
* The only rookies currently working with the first team are safety T.J. Ward and guard Shawn Lauvao. Lauvao is the indirect beneficiary of Tony Pashos' time on the sideline with cold symptoms. Floyd Womack has moved over to Pashos' right tackle spot, giving Lauvao the spot at right guard.
* Ward got beat by fullback Lawrence Vickers on a route up the center of the field. Delhomme put the ball on the money, in stride, enabling Vickers to separate for lots of yards.
* Lauvao also is getting snaps at center with the third team. The top backup center behind starter Alex Mack currently is Tony Yates.
* Receiver Brian Robiskie made a nice leaping catch in the corner of the end zone on a lob throw from Jake Delhomme. Robiskie, who looks more comfortable and fluid in his second camp, said the quarterbacks are putting the ball in the right places. Robiskie is pressing Josh Cribbs for the No. 2 receiver spot opposite Mohamed Massaquoi.
* The linebackers with the first team lined up this way: Matt Roth, Chris Gocong, D'Qwell Jackson and Scott Fujita.
* Delhomme hit James Davis on a nice screen play. Somehow, nose tackle Ahtyba Rubin became the only defender in pursuit. Davis separated easily, but the 330-pound Rubin had to impress coaches by chasing him valiantly for about 25 yards.
* Eric Wright intercepted Delhomme in the end zone on a pass intended for Chansi Stuckey. Delhomme just threw it up, as Stuckey was surrounded by three defenders.
