CLEVELAND -- Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden is being handed a new playbook, helmet and uniform this weekend. Randy Moss Jersey . The Cleveland Browns dont intend to give him the starting job. At least not yet. Coach Pat Shurmur made it clear again during a conference call Thursday in advance of the teams rookie minicamp that Weeden will have to beat out Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace to be the teams starting QB next season. "We dont give anybody anything," Shurmur said. "They have got to earn it in our eyes." Weeden, the Oklahoma State quarterback selected No. 22 overall by the Browns, and Alabama running back Trent Richardson, who was taken third, will be among 37 players the Browns will have at their three-day camp in Berea, Ohio. Shurmur wasnt able to hold a rookie camp last season because of the NFL lockout and is looking forward for the chance to coach young players. "I am looking to see guys compete," Shurmur said. "I am looking to see guys that will show us why we drafted them, that they have the ability to learn and then have the ability to then go out and do it on the field." Although the Browns havent anointed Weeden their starter, its safe to assume the 28-year-old will replace McCoy behind centre. The Browns wouldnt have selected Weeden, a former minor league baseball player, in the first round if they didnt intend to put him on the field immediately. Shurmur was adamant that there will be a competition and that there are no favourites. He plans to explain that to Weeden and all the other new players before they take the field. "We drafted these players for a reason," Shurmur said. "We drafted them with the idea that they could come in and start or until they start, could be effective role players. But, they have to come here and do it. By doing it, thats when we talk about competing. Thats where they are at and they understand that. "They have been competing as athletes since they were very young boys. They dont expect anything will be given to them because that was the case when they went to college as well. I am sure they all will look at this as this is just another step in their football careers." Shurmur said Richardson will take part in all the on-field activities and wont be slowed by the minor knee surgery he had after helping the Crimson Tide win the national championship. Shurmur said hes looking forward to seeing Weeden "executing as a quarterback" and will be able to see him throw to former Oklahoma State teammate Josh Cooper, a wide receiver and one of 15 undrafted free agents signed by the Browns on Wednesday. Shurmur described Cooper as being similar to Danny Amendola, whom he coached in St. Louis. The Browns rookies underwent physicals and an orientation program on Thursday. Meanwhile, the agents for third-round pick John Hughes, a defensive tackle from Cincinnati, and fourth-round pick James-Michael Johnson, a linebacker from Nevada, said on Twitter that their clients have signed deals with the Browns. A team spokesman said the deals were not completed. Justin Smith Womens Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Alex Smith Jersey . -- Linebackers Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne represented two of the Saints most important acquisitions in free agency and quickly took over starting roles in their first preseason with New Orleans. http://www.cheapsanfrancisco49ersjersey.com/joe-montana-jersey . - The Saint John Sea Dogs are hitting their stride at the perfect time: in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final. David Akers Womens Jersey . 14, 2012. Ghoneim, a first-year liberal arts student from Toronto, scored six of the Lions eight goals last week as York posted back-to-back shutout wins over UOIT, 2-0, and Brock, 6-0. The 5-foot-7 forward accounted for all the scoring last Wednesday against the Ridgebacks, and then exploded for four goals on Sunday against the Badgers, including a natural hat trick with the matchs first three markers. NaVorro Bowman Womens Jersey . Martin Gernat scored twice as the Oil Kings defeated the Moose Jaw Warriors 4-1 on Friday in Western Hockey League playoff action. BOSTON -- For two years, Tim Thomas has been one of the best goalies in the world. For two games, Braden Holtby has matched him save for save. Making just his second NHL post-season appearance, Holtby stopped 43 shots Saturday to lead the Washington Capitals to a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. One game after the Bruins opened the playoffs with a single-overtime victory, Nicklas Backstrom scored 2:56 into the second overtime to help the Capitals tie the defending Stanley Cup champions at one game apiece. "Theres not a lot of chances out there," Backstrom said. "This is how its going to be, I think. For you, maybe its boring; I dont know. But for us, its fun." Thomas made 37 saves for the Bruins, who earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference but now must win in Washington to advance to the second round. The Capitals will host Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Thursday before the series returns to Boston on April 21. "I would say its going to be a long series," Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin said. "For us, it was very important to win this game and get the series tied, and go back home and have home advantage to play against the Bruins. ... We are pretty happy, but it was a long game and everybody is tired and needs some rest." Troy Brouwer opened the scoring for the Capitals in the second period, and Benoit Pouliot tied it with 7:47 left in regulation. Early in the second overtime, the Bruins won a faceoff in their own zone but Washingtons Marcus Johansson was the first to the puck behind the Boston net. He passed it to Backstrom at the left faceoff circle and he wristed it past Thomas on his stick side. Thomas barely moved as the puck sailed by his blocker. As soon as it hit the back of the net, he quickly headed for the locker room while the Capitals congratulated each other in the same corner of the rink where Boston celebrated its Game 1 victory on Thursday. Bruins coach Claude Julien complained that his team wasnt winning the battles that are determined by effort. "The proof is the overtime goal," he said. "We win the draw; they outmuscle us to get the puck, they get a good second effort to get into the scoring area and score a goal." A 22-year-old veteran of just 21 NHL games, Holtby moved into the Capitals lineup because of injuries to Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth. Aldon Smith Womens Jersey. Holtby played in only seven games this season, but he started five of Washingtons final 10 games. In the playoffs, he has allowed two goals in more than 144 playoff minutes, matching the reigning Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophy winner across the ice. "He is playing great right now," Ovechkin said. "We just hope he can continue. This kid can save us and keep us in the game in overtime." Backstrom missed most of three months with a concussion before returning March 31. Coach Dale Hunter said the Swede wasnt yet at full strength, but hes getting better and will see more ice time as the playoffs go on. Backstrom absorbed a two-handed shove from Thomas in the third period when he was swiping at a covered puck in the crease. "Well," Backstrom said, "today I got the last laugh." The first game remained scoreless into overtime, when Chris Kelly scored after 1:18 to give the Bruins the edge in the best-of-seven series. The defences dominated again Saturday, though each team did manage to break through once in regulation. The Capitals took their first lead of the series when Brouwer poked a puck out of the crease and under Thomas, who was blocked by Bruins defenceman Greg Zanon. That ended Thomass post-season shutout streak at 161:41 -- a span that included shutouts in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals and Game 1 of this series. Boston tied it when Kellys shot was deflected and left trickling into the centre of the ice. Holtby moved out to get it, but Pouliot beat him there, chipping it over the charging goaltender and into the net just before he barrelled over Holtby and sent him sprawling. It was Pouliots first career playoff goal. Notes: Washington had 16 shots in the first two periods, just one fewer than they had in the series opener. ... Bruins F David Krejci was in the lineup despite being hit by a falling pane from the boards during the postgame celebration on Thursday. ... Julien said backup G Tuukka Rask (lower abdomen) would need to get back into shape before returning. He has not played since March 3. ... The Bruins hadnt won a 1-0 overtime game in the playoffs since 1935. The goal in that one was scored by Hall of Famer Dit Clapper. ... Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was at the game. ' ' '
