Holcomb makes move

Browns QB impressive in scrimmage

? Browns fans appear to have made their choice at quarterback after just one preseason scrimmage.

Chants of “Kelly! Kelly!” filled Cleveland Browns Stadium Saturday as Kelly Holcomb seemed to outplay Tim Couch in a scrimmage against Buffalo.

More than 37,000 showed up to weigh in on the quarterback competition.

Even Bills linebacker London Fletcher, who grew up in Cleveland and still roots for the Browns, had an opinion.

“I thought Holcomb looked a lot better today,” Fletcher said.

Couch had a rough showing against the Bills’ first-team defense, fumbling a snap and getting sacked once.

Couch finished the day 8-for-13 for 79 yards and a 15-yard touchdown pass to Marc Soumah. Holcomb was 12-for-16 for 164 yards and two touchdowns.

Texans-Cowboys

San Antonio — Safety Travares Tillman broke his arm Saturday during a morning practice against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas rookie center Al Johnson left the early workout after injuring his knee. Coach Bill Parcells said tests were being done.

Colts

Terre Haute, Ind. — Quarterback Peyton Manning appeared to be in midseason form as the Colts wrapped up their first week of training camp.

Denver quarterback Jake Plummer (16) stretches before drills at the team's training camp at the Broncos' headquarters. The team was working out Saturday in Denver.

Manning completed 19 of 21 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns in scrimmage. He threw TD passes of 10 yards to tight end Marcus Pollard and 30 yards to TE Joe Dean Davenport.

Dominic Rhodes, expected to be the Colts’ No. 2 running back, was held out of the scrimmage with a shoulder injury.

Giants

Albany, N.Y. — Kerry Collins completed all 10 of his passes for 113 yards and a touchdown in an intrasquad scrimmage. Much-maligned halfback Ron Dayne also looked good, gaining 48 yards on eight carries and scoring on an 11-yard run. The former first-round draft pick had a nice stiff-arm on free agent safety Calvin Spears on the TD run.

Dolphins-Titans

Nashville, Tenn. — Miami’s Jay Fiedler was 12-of-14 for 152 yards, with one of those incompletions a spike in the two-minute offense in a scrimmage against Tennessee. Brian Griese was 4-of-6 for 66 yards, and Sage Rosenfels went 7-of-10.
