PD Browns writer says No. 3 quarterback spot could be determined in the last preseason game Sept. 2 vs. Chicago.
Colt McCoy: Will he be the Browns' No. 3 quarterback in 2010?Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, our Web video show about what's going on in Cleveland sports. Today's show is hosted by Mike Peticca and Bill Lubinger. Let's go to the highlights:
• Plain Dealer Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot checks in from Berea, right after coach Eric Mangini's meeting with reporters this morning. Mary Kay says the Browns will have to make decisions soon on what the 2010 season will hold for Colt McCoy and Brett Ratliff, who are battling for the No. 3 quarterback spot. Both figure to play a lot in the fourth preseason game; the starters figure to see much of the time on Saturday when the team plays its third preseason game at Detroit against the Lions at 5 p.m.
• Mary Kay also talks about the impressive display of smashmouth football exhibited by big back Peyton Hillis and lead blocking back Lawrence Vickers during Saturday's preseason loss to the St. Louis Rams.
• Today's Starting Blocks poll asks you to vote on what has disappointed you most about the Browns so far in the preseason. Is it Montario Hardesty's injury, or something else?
SBTV will return Thursday morning with Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston as the guest.
