Daily Dawg Tags: Shon Coleman going about his business

The Cleveland Browns offensive line has one position still up for grabs, and second-year lineman Shon Coleman continues to look ready to claim it.

The Cleveland Browns have the makings of one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

The only question mark comes at right tackle, where Shon Coleman and Cameron Erving are battling for the starter’s role.

So far Erving continues to be what he has been since joining the Browns: a player that gives it his all on every play, but lacks any kind of consistency. And when he looks bad, he takes it all the way.

Coleman entered training camp the presumptive favorite to claim the lone starting position available on the line, and has done nothing to hurt his cause. He is not taking anything for granted, however, as he told clevelandbrowns.com:

"“I just have to keep going out there and doing my thing, working on the technique, getting better, being more consistent and just trying to make the team better. I leave that up to the coaches and everything, how they want to do the depth charts. I am just focused on what I can do to get the team better.”"

As the Browns approach their season preseason game, the time is drawing near for head coach Hue Jackson to make a decision at right tackle. One of the strengths of an offensive line is having the starters work together as much as possible, so finalizing the last spot and letting the unit put in the work is key.

At this point, it will be a surprise if Coleman is not the final piece.

Brock Osweiler: Adversity makes you stronger (Pro Football Talk)

"Brock Osweiler seems as relieved to be out of Houston as the Texans were to move on from him. Osweiler went 8-6 before being benched last season, throwing 15 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Osweiler reportedly clashed with Texans coach Bill O’Brien last year, something he wouldn’t address in a sit-down interview with Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. But he admits it was a trying year."

Have these stars peaked, or is the best yet to come? (ESPN)

"The peak of a player’s career can come at any time. We naturally assume players will post their best numbers in their late 20s, and while that is the case for most players, it’s hardly the case for everyone. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin’s most productive seasons were his first and third years in the league, and he’s still plugging away with the Buffalo Bills as he enters his 15th season. “Peaking,” in other words, doesn’t necessarily mean a player will have a disappointing career from that point forward."

If NFL sent message on anthem protests, players like didn’t listen (Sporting News)

"The prevailing theory on why NFL teams are stubbornly devoted to signing every quarterback on the planet except Colin Kaepernick is that the league and owners are sending a message to players: Toe the line, keep your mouths shut. Jeopardize this fan base and you jeopardize your career — and here’s your proof, your unemployed, vilified colleague here. As of Monday morning, following the first full weekend of preseason games … message undelivered. Connection failed."
