“Any time you have a guy like Braylon Edwards to throw to, you’ve got kind of a wide margin of error to where you can put the ball,” Quinn said. “That kind of helps out things.
“I don’t think he’ll miss a step at all.”
Kasper’s exasperation
Kevin Kasper’s hamstring-related absence from practice has dragged on more than a week.
“We’re gonna work him and slowly work him back,” Crennel said. “There’s no timetable. We’ll just have to see how he goes.”
Kasper came through spring practice and the first few days of training camp looking like Joe Jurevicius’ likely replacement as the No. 3 wideout. His head fake and deft footwork that left No. 1 cornerback Eric Wright five yards in the dust was as impressive as any move witnessed in camp.
Kasper is good enough to get invited to NFL camps year in and year out, and this team could use him. However, he spent another practice watching in shorts Monday.
“I don’t know how much rope he’ll get,” Crennel said, “because as you get down to (cut) time, you have to have guys who can help you. So there’s not much rope left at that time.
“But he did show enough that we are definitely interested in seeing how he can come along.”
Heiden eases in
Steve Heiden isn’t indispensable. In six years with the Browns, the 31-year-old tight end has caught 154 passes. That’s not the same layer of the atmosphere as Kellen Winslow Jr.’s 171 catches in the last two years.
However, Heiden is the man coaches want as their No. 2 tight end who plays a prominent role when former tight end Rob Chudzinski dials up two-tight-end sets. The brass is relieved he is practicing again, albeit in a brace, after straining a knee.
“We were in Chud’s offense last year. That makes it a lot easier mentally,”
