CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns are coming off of their second preseason game, a 10-6 win over the Giants on Monday Night Football. Hue Jackson is set to make his quarterback decision, but before that, I went back and re-watched the game. Here are some of my observations.

The quarterbacks

I'm still very much in the camp that no quarterback has made any sort of convincing case to be the starter. It's part of why I think Brock Osweiler might get the job by default. DeShone Kizer simply might not be ready, even if he has the most raw talent of any quarterback on the roster.

Of course, when Jackson does make his announcement, he'll do so with Osweiler having not led the first-team offense into the end zone. Kizer, at least, was able to complete two long passes -- one for a touchdown -- against Saints backups in Game No. 1 and was on the field when the Browns scored their lone touchdown on Monday night.

Here are some notes:

* Regarding the Osweiler interception that ended the first series, batted passes have been a problem for all three quarterbacks -- including Cody Kessler -- throughout camp. It has always been a problem for Osweiler.

* I'll listen if you want to make the case for Kizer starting -- I might even buy in. I won't listen, though, if you point at the 5-play, 28-yard scoring drive in the second quarter as the reason why. Yes, the point of football is to score touchdowns. That one, though, didn't make much of a case for the rookie. It involved four run plays and just one pass play, a screen to fullback Dan Vitale.

* Now, if you're looking for a nice play from Kizer, here's one near the start of the second half. He shows good patience waiting for his receiver in the face of pressure even if his feet look unsure.

* He followed that up a few plays later with his worst throw, an interception that was negated by a hold away from the play. These are the inconsistencies and mistakes that will lose games if Jackson decides to live with the growing pains of Kizer right away.

* Then again, you give yourself opportunities to see throws like this:

The offense

* It doesn't matter which quarterback Jackson picks, this offense simply won't be good enough to overcome things like that false start on Rod Johnson that turned a manageable second-and-12 situation into second-and-17. The Browns simply won't be able to fall behind schedule like that and expect to come away with points.

* It happened again on Kizer's first series. Kenny Britt negated a nice run by Duke Johnson with a holding penalty. The following three plays were an incompletion, a one-yard pass and a three-yard pass. This offense isn't built to dig out of holes.

* Speaking of that run that Britt got flagged on, how about this stiff arm from Duke Johnson?

* Corey Coleman helped out both Osweiler and Kizer in the first half, making a nice catch on a high throw in the first quarter from Osweiler for nine yards and then going down and getting a low throw from Kizer for 20 yards.

The defense

* The Browns' first series defensively overall was excellent. Gregg Williams went on the attack to force a three-and-out. The first-team defense did well, for the most part, getting off the field on third down, something Browns fans should be able to appreciate.

* I'm not convinced Joe Schobert wasn't on his way to beating out Tank Carder for a starting job anyway, but now that Carder is out for the season, plays like this one are nice to see.

Schobert made another nice play on a first-down end-around towards the end of the first quarter. It was actually a nice defensive series as a whole for Schobert, making a play running to the sideline on a quick throw from Eli Manning and then nearly picking off Manning in the red zone.

* However many games the Browns win this season, it will happen because defensive players make big plays like this one from Jason McCourty. So good.

* Offenses are going to have to do better than this against Emmanuel Ogbah. Nice job sniffing out this play.

* And, of course, on the other side, you get to deal with this.

* Jamar Taylor had a good night, too, making multiple plays on the opening series and nearly making that interception. He looks ready to build on a nice year.

* If you're not excited about Jabrill Peppers in the return game, I'm not sure you can get excited about anything.
