Feels good to start this thread again ... starters seem to be barely (if at all) playing tonight
Let’s hope for no injuries and some promising signs
And we’re wearing white jerseys with orange pants
Here we go Brownies here we go!!! Woof woof!! Man, I can't remember a time when I was this excited for a season to start. Let's just get out of the preseason with as few injuries as possible and get to kicking some ass!
Darnold is RIPPING the Giants right now
Per Josina Anderson:
Baker IS playing
OBJ is NOT
Watching the pregame show on channel 5 (ABC/WEWS) in Cleveland ... man, Bernie Kosar lost a lot of weight ... he looks and sounds great.
Any way to watch this live?
I'm in Georgia, so no access to local coverage (if its even being shown in Ohio).
Browns starters:
Baker Mayfield
Nick Chubb
Greg Robinson
Joel Bitonio
JC Tretter
Eric Kush
Chris Hubbard
David Njoku
Derrick Willies
Jalen Strong
Hollywood Higgins
Chubb runs for another 14
Hilliard catch for another 15
Hilliard another 15 yard catch
that was pretty great
don't forget the discord chat!
XP is good ... 7-0 BROWNS
Ill take that drive ALL year
That's what I'm talking about!
Colin rips Baker on Friday due to taking pic of Higgins
Who kicked the extra point?
Who kicked the extra point?
I think Joseph?
Like when Moses parted the Red Sea.
Browns starters on defense:
Myles Garrett
Larry Ogunjobi
Trevon Coley
Chris Smith
Sione Takitaki
Christian Kirksey
Greedy Williams
Jermaine Whitehead
Terrance Mitchell
Damarious Randall
Morgan Burnett
3rd and 16 ... but a flag
Who kicked the extra point?
I think Joseph?
It was Joseph. He drilled it.
Wash is in midseason form
Screen ... nearly INT lol
Who Started at RG,
Who Started on the D Line?
I'm not a fan of preseason, the garbage time starts just after kickoff.
It's time to end preseason games, altogether.
Kush started RG ... still in at RG
Stanton Low ... but a flag
Bring back the QB from last year with the hot GF who liked birds
Sure would like to see us try to pound the rock a little bit.
Looking forward to seeing Gilbert in awhile.
I can't see Stanton being here come game 1..
Building a running game takes time and effort. Let the line get used to firing off the ball.
Great outing by our starters. Now this game will degenerate quickly into the most dreaded of all game types: preseason.
Drew is the guy you invite for Thanksgiving dinner that you hope doesn't show
Who cares if Greedy is a great tackler. If he is a shutdown corner it's irrelevant.
Murray with a HORRIBLE play there
Our D line could be really good this season
Just awful coverage ... TD redskins
That's what happens when you play it safe...
Colin rips Baker on Friday due to taking pic of Higgins
You don't want your franchise QB taking fake pics.
We should have blitzed and got in the QB's face.
so much for our improved secondary
We probably feared a quick screen to get into FG range ... BAD d there
I say cut Greedy and bring back Usama Young.
so much for our improved secondary
Greddy got Greedy
That was one bad miscommunication.
i think we are seeing why everyone was scratching their head with the redwine pick..hopefully he's coachable
I don’t have much confidence in our 2nd team o
And that miscommunication was on Greedy
Ugly for the rookies there.
i think we are seeing why everyone was scratching their head with the redwine pick..hopefully he's coachable
I think that was on Chris Rock. I think Wilkes was ripping him a new one.
Hilliard for a first down
stark difference in arm strength between stanton and baker
Looks like Hilliard is going to take Dukes place.
stark difference in arm strength between stanton and baker
Oh yeah. We live and die with Baker. If he goes down the season is over.
man i have zero confidence in stanton to make an nfl throw
Give Hilliard to half, then keep him healthy.
Let's see what D'Ernest has in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
i think strong is going to stick...big fluid guy
Wide open ... higgins again
AC with a play out of odells book
I’m starting to LOVE higgins
Refs in mid-season form boning us as often as possible.
ref needs thicker glasses
Yes
Refs in mid-season form boning us as often as possible.
FK a little too pass happy
Not good for Hilliard there.
hilliard will not be in the league long like this
True
hilliard will not be in the league long like this
So Greedy can't tackle? Seems fine to me.
Too bad Greedy can't tackle.
It’s still the 1st quarter lol
One fumble does not mean anything. If it continues then it's a problem. Every back fumbles once in a while.
They need to teach these guys to just FALL ON THE FUMBLE!
They completed a long pass... but we stripped them
Can our O get a few firsts with gilbert
I wish Bernie was in the booth. I'd love to hear his insights on this offense.
Can we try to run the damn ball?
Caught by Pharo .. but punt
playcalling doesn't seem very balanced
Hilliard looks just so-so so far.
We will be throwing A LOT this season - probably a bit more than some folks' comfort level.
Passing to open up the run, I'm guessing.
IMO hilliard is strictly a receiving option now
Hilliard not yet used to this many reps in a real game?
IMO hilliard is strictly a receiving option now
Then we would need a better backup running back.
Interception/TD!!!!
Wilson with a huge play for 6!
He sure looked good in coverage there
I haven't watched every snap, yep, I've avoided a portion of this game,
But I've seen a couple carries by Hilliard, ... Sigh!
I'd HATE! to be One of the THREE OR FOUR, players who filled that role in the past 3 or 4 years of pre seasons, on the Browns,
And barely cracked the regular season roster even though they were back for repeated pre-seasons, yet their names I forget, RB's
and one of them had a roster call up late in the year, but none of them made the 53 man cutdown at seasons start, the last 4 years+
But I remember they often looked solid in preseason games.
And I'd hate to see what's going through their minds, what the!
...
I've seen 2 turnovers go the Browns way, Somebody get that Turnover chain, gold chain out!
Looking at the replay, that’s a good read by wilson
As long as we keep Dorsey we can get some good players. Give him a ten year extension!
Lawrence was in there fast lol
mack is fast sideline to sideline
The D is playing very well.
Our ball on the redskins side of the field
Yay! Rookies that kick ass!
Now, let's try to establish the run. Pound the rock!
Also, thank you for people posting twitter videos. I cant stream the game and its all I have.
I know its only preseason but so far it looks like we got the right guy pulling the levers upstairs with JD
I’d like to see some running 1st downs
Now, let's try to establish the run. Pound the rock!
So far it doesn't look like Hilliard is cutting it enough to run a lot.
Roll Tide Rolllllllllllllllllllll
Hunt might be a cautious sit
Gilbert to callaway for a 1st
Now, let's try to establish the run. Pound the rock!
So far it doesn't look like Hilliard is cutting it enough to run a lot.
Hard to run from the gun. Back has to wait for the ball. Hard to establish the run when you pass 80% of the time. You have to build a run game.
Hilliard catch for about 5
They run for 0 ... Thomas with a good play
Haskins with a big run for 10
You can tell we like blitzing taki taki
Haskins killing us with a run
Haskins throws for about 9
I don't know why but since Baker came out of the game it feels to me like it's been on about five hours already...
Haha I know this game is DRAGGING
Haha I know this game is DRAGGING
loving every second though
Haskins completes for 8 again ugh
Haskins is so much better than the other guy lol
no way keenum going to keep haskins on bench
That's one position we can ill afford to become thinner.
on a side note...Murray isn't very good...
Greedy with a good play baby
We’re on the right side of TOS so far
Greedy doing his Ward impersonation
Hilliard with a good chip
gilbert staring that first read consistently
Catch for a 1st down to the 42
Gilbert again to Higgins for about 20
I think Antonio Callaway took a shot to his left thigh, on catch in the middle, 3 drives ago, or so,
He was limping some after the catch on the sideline
that drive.
Wonder to see Higgans in with the 3rd Qb.
we might have the best WR corps in the nfl
Gotta get one more completion
Still really odd for me to see OBJ on our sideline! (I love it though.)
Hilliard catches for about 3 yards
Kyle Kalias was the player being carted off, from 10 minutes ago.
incomplete in the end zone ... but a flag
how much do you suck to get sacked on a 3 man front hail mary.
Freddie needs to calm down a bit.
Freddie needs to calm down a bit.
I had no idea he gets like that.
Halftime thought (pretty obvious and often said):
As goes Mayfield, so go the Browns.
Maybe another couple of Gilbert series, then Blough the rest of the game.
Maybe QB#2 and #3 is even more up in the air than some realized.

From what I've seen so far? I hope so. Stanton has no electricity when he plays.
defense looking pretty porous
Joe Thomas lost a lot of weight. OMG
Man, Freddie was toasted lol
Gilbert quick to Hyman ... INCo
Willies catches for about 7
Pass ... caught for a first by Hyman
Gilbert passes .. Hyman catch for 12
Between Hyman, strong, higgins, etc ... we have depth theree
Johnson with a nice run for 11
Bernie looks like he died 3 years ago
Twins cut the lead in half... 4-2 Tribe after 4.
Johnson runs to the 16 for 4
Gilbert to Hyman ... and a FUMBLE inside the 5 ... AGAIN
Just pathetic ball security here
Bernie looks like he died 3 years ago
It's old age/getting older.
well that ends hyman's run on the team..NEXT
We’ve crapped away 14 pts
Nothing worse for a young guy trying to make. A team
Richardson and Vernon didn't play right?
I love an apostrophe in a first name. D'Brickashaw was my favorite.
If D'Ernest can make an impact on STs this preseason, we may have a player to give our O some flexibility.
Lol hit Carlson in th freaking hands
Gilbert with an awful pass .. yuck
besides RG I think our weak area is TE...theres not alot there after Njoku
Haskins is out ... now it’s time for wood rum?
Mack Wilson all over the place
You gotta keep this dude on the freaking field
I mean, really ... he’s all over the place
Man, Mack is making a statement.
It's David Blough time.........
I think kirksey might need to be wary
Baker catches it to the 40
Still hoping Pharoah has something to offer.
I love Mack Wilson already!
And .. no chance lol, their ball
our oline depth is paper thin
Harvey with another good play
Wood rum with a nice throw there
I don't like what I saw from David Blough. Get him outta there,
put a position player in.
It seems that Freddie's whole idea tonight has been to put pressure on his offense to see how they respond.
1st team responded well. After that ...... not so much.
Greedy Williams and Mack Wilson have really shined on defense, along with the 1st team DL. (which was missing a couple of guys tonight)
Yeah, blough looked very shaky
Punted down to the end one
Wanna see something from oubliette
Montgomery nice catch dude
Whata freaking awful throw
Zegura saying we are just HOUSING seeds now
Blough runs for a first down
Blough ... throws it away with a flag
How many points have we given away here
i don't think our 3rd down back is on the team yet
Corbett is STILL in there? And with a flag ... OUCH
Well at least on this drive, he doesn't look like he's disinterested.
Catch by Carlson ... and a flag AGAIN
Hands to the face on WASH
corbett is a bust..don't care how they try to spin it...its ok, can't hit them all..but man it was a head scratcher at the time thats proven true
Just get a first down so we can kick
Giuseppe gets a few yards
I’d like to run it for a first here
Blough got lit up ... Giuseppe dropped it
Doug Dieken literally just cracked a beer LOL
Oulette runs for a first .. nice
Protect your neck Kirksey.
It looks like Kush us #1, Kalis (concussion) is #2, and Corbett is #3 RG and #2 Center?
Yes
Protect your neck Kirksey.
TD Montgomery ... but a flag
But could this be reviewed?
Montgomery nice play on the ball
Forget my earlier post I guess.
Seibert’s XP is ... good!
Kyler murray has completed his first 7 passes
And he looks crisp doing it too
Harvey having a nice game
We made the play ... and a flag
Harvey all over the plac e
That was just awesome baby
Sheehey just made his case to make the team.
DSG!!!!!!
Jim Donovan just called the shot!
well that caps it off nicely
I learned one thing today, ..
If what I saw tonight from Hilliard were a golf shot, it's why they have mulligans, do-overs.
Kyler murray has completed his first 7 passes
Looking forward to seeing our Dline deal with him behind their fairly weak Oline the past few years. Should be fun in December.
Washington is not a good team IMO
The team speed is so much better this year
Don’t let them score here
Good point Lead ... we seem faster on d especially
The team speed is so much better this year
Especially from a couple of our young LBers.
Injured browns guy ... ugh
Anthony zettel is the guy
Color me stupid, but I love those uni's with no stripes on the hat.
Sack, strip... they recover
Color me stupid, but I love those uni's with no stripes on the hat.
Can't agree on the no stripes on the helmet things. Jmho.
And they’re gonna let it run out
I know its early, but i like Wilks defense so far
It was great just to watch live football again!
