Terry Pluto’s ‘Scribbles’ about Seneca Wallace, Derek Anderson’s release, what’s ahead for the Cleveland Browns

Browns might still be looking for a quarterback.

Dean Rutz, Seattle Times, via APSeneca Wallace will be wearing Orange and Brown this season.

1. Here's what I know about Seneca Wallace -- he will be A Browns quarterback. Not necessarily the starter. He could be a backup to Brady Quinn, although when the Browns do talk about this at length, they probably will say the two "will compete for the job." But all that is subject to change, as I believe the Browns are still looking at possible deals for another quarterback.

2. Here's what is settled about the position: Nothing. OK, Derek Anderson was released Tuesday. And the Browns have Wallace and Quinn, which indicates they won't draft a quarterback in the top two rounds. Why put all that cash out for a quarterback, when you have two guys (three counting Brett Ratliff) under 30 at the position?

3. But making a traded for a veteran such as Donovan McNabb? You'd better believe the Browns will talk about it if the Eagles are open to a deal. They just signed Michael Vick, which gives them three quarterbacks along with Kevin Kolb and McNabb. No matter what the Eagles say about wanting to keep their quarterbacks, they certainly are in a tremendous position to trade one.

4. Browns coach Eric Mangini has a clear memory of Wallace playing for a Seattle team coached by Mike Holmgren at the end of the 2008 season -- when the Seahawks beat Mangini's Jets, 13-3. It was a game that cost the Jets a playoff spot. It also was played in the wind and snow, and Wallace was 18-of-25 passing for one touchdown and a 104.6 rating. He had no turnovers, no sacks. The Jets also watched tape of Wallace completing 20-of-28 passes, including three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 24-21 loss in 2008 to New England.

5. While Wallace is not set to start, both Holmgren and Mangini have seen the 29-year-old Wallace play enough solid games against good teams to believe he can start. They like his ability to stay away from turnovers (25 TD passes compared to 14 INTs). In 2008, he started eight games when Matt Hasselbeck was injured, and had 11 TD passes compared to three INTs. He completed 59 percent of his passes, had a rating of 87.7.

6. Wallace is only 5-foot-11 and was a pure athlete who has had to learn the intricate parts of the position at the NFL level. He also was stuck behind Hasselbeck, who was a backup until Mike Holmgren traded for him and made Hasselbeck a starter in Seattle. Wallace is very quick, and the Browns offensive coaches are already having some fun drawing up plays with Wallace and Joshua Cribbs in the Wildcat formation. Wallace has played a little bit of receiver. Cribbs was a quarterback at Kent State.

7. The Browns were very impressed with new right tackle Tony Pashos. One coach said the 325-pound Pashos reminded him of "Ryan Tucker," both in terms of his powerful blocking and no-frills personality. Pashos also told the Browns "I love to play in cold weather." The coaches said, "You'll get your wish on that."

8. On Sunday, I wrote about the possibility of Shaun Rogers being traded. I did a poor job of explaining the situation. I should have written something like, "While the Browns have no serious trade talks for Rogers going and seem to want to keep him, down the line that can change . . ." Instead, I came across as saying they want to dump the guy, which obviously is untrue.

9. I do think some talks can heat up for him near the draft, because Rogers is one of the Browns' few assets who can be traded and bring value in return. In fact, the uncapped year that has created 212 restricted free agents has put a lid on possible trades. These players can't be dealt until they sign their tender offers, which most of them absolutely hate. That's why players who are already signed to long-term deals are attractive in deals.

10. While the Browns have made some moves, none has addressed the huge need in the defensive secondary. That tells me that are looking at Eric Berry and Joe Haden with the No. 7 pick, and still shopping for defensive backs. They need at least two starters, and a strong backup.
