Cleveland Browns 2010 Training Camp Preview

Football Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -

REPORT DATE: July 23rd (Rookies), July 30th (Veterans)

SITE: Cleveland Browns Training Facility, Berea, OH

CAMP OBJECTIVES: Eric Mangini's second training camp as head coach of the Browns should go much more smoothly than the first, even if there is still some uncertainty facing this team. Jake Delhomme appears established as the No. 1 quarterback, though the play of both Seneca Wallace and Colt McCoy will merit watching. The wide receiving corps is a major question mark, however. Young wideouts like Mohamed Massaquoi, Brian Robiskie, and Chansi Stuckey need to be consistent to keep Cleveland from making a panic move (T.O.?). The division of the running back reps among Jerome Harrison and rookie Montario Hardesty (Tennessee) will be an intriguing storyline, as it is thought that Hardesty could be the team's back of the future. The defense has been improved on paper, but the new pieces must jell in the preseason. Linebackers Scott Fujita (ex- Saints) and Chris Gocong (ex-Eagles), cornerbacks Joe Haden (1st Round, Florida) and Sheldon Brown (ex-Eagles), and safety T.J. Ward (2nd Round, Oregon) need to generate an impact. Up front, Mangini and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan must locate some options in case Shaun Rogers, who was involved in a handgun incident at the airport in April, is suspended.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE:

Aug 14 - at Green Bay, 8:00 PM Aug 21 - vs. St. Louis, 7:30 PM Aug 28 - at Detroit, 5:30 PM Sep 2 - vs. Chicago, 8:00 PM

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
