Around the League -- Week 14

Another one of those first-round rookie offensive linemen stepping right in and making a difference! /scarcasm.
Cameron Erving - C - Browns
The Browns have benched first-round rookie LG Cameron Erving, and Austin Pasztor will start in his place Week 14 against the 49ers.
Erving has made two starts and played heavy snaps the past three weeks. He had a low moment last week against the Bengals, getting absolutely annihilated by DT Geno Atkins, who welcomed Erving to the NFL by registering 13 combined QB hits and hurries. Pasztor has made 23 career starts.

I liked Erving a lot in the pre-draft process. I still think he has a bright future as the Browns' center after Mack leaves via FA after the season but it still goes to show you how difficult it is for rookie offensive linemen to succeed right away. Of course this is the Browns so there's a good chance this is the wrong move.
