The wraps are off.
For the first time this year, non-Browns employees will witness the highly publicized battle for No. 1 between quarterbacks Tim Couch and Kelly Holcomb.
Cleveland Coach Butch Davis is allowing the media to watch the team's six scheduled practices in its final mini-camp today through Thursday at the Browns' Berea headquarters.
The general public won't get to see Couch and Holcomb until training camp begins for veterans July 25. By then, the two will have been through the off-season program, 13 days of ``quarterback school'' and a minicamp. Davis said last week he will name his starter by Aug. 23, when Cleveland visits Detroit for its third preseason game.
Thus far, offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said Couch has been able to handle the challenge. He said Couch and Holcomb won't waste a snap in minicamp or training camp.
