Cleveland Browns News: The position battle getting no love
By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news that you need to know, including the position battle that no one is talking about.
With the entire Cleveland Browns roster being over-hauled this off-season, most of the attention during training camp gets focused on the sexy positions: Quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback.
But with all of the new talent on the roster, there are position battles everywhere. There are some that fans may not even know are happening.
That is the case for the one position battle that has received no attention throughout training camp and the first two weeks of the preseason. The battle that is starting to wind down is the kicker competition.

Notes: Kicker Ross Martin making serious push to win job – Brian Dulik, The Chronicle-Telegram
"Browns special teams coordinator Amos Jones rated the battle between incumbent kicker Zane Gonzalez and Martin as “even” at the midpoint of the preseason, which is a positive sign for the latter."
The good news is that the Browns have two kickers that are showing potential to being very good kickers in the league. If the team can find the most reliable kicker out of the two, the special teams units seem to be in good shape.

"Who knows, if things had gone differently, the affable 6-foot-4, 306-pounder would be in medical school studying to be an orthopedic surgeon.Instead, he’s starting for the Browns. And passing every test."
If Corbett can become a steady guard, the Browns could very well have their starting offensive line figured out for the future. It is still early in the process, but Corbett playing well at guard right now only means good things.
