The Cleveland Browns entered training camp with a plan to fill the vacant hole at right guard.
But as the poet Robert Burns pointed out in 1786, the best laid plans can often go awry.
When general manager John Dorsey traded starting right guard Kevin Zeitler to the New York Giants for defensive end Olivier Vernon, the expectation was that second-year offensive lineman Austin Corbett would be able to take over at right guard.
It soon became apparent that Corbett - a college left tackle who “projects” as a guard or center (it changes regularly) in the NFL - was not up to the task.
