He's not skinny. The dude is ripped. He still weighs like 275 pounds.

That was fun to watch..,

The trouble with having a guy like Baker Mayfield is that he makes all other QB's on the team look bad.. And they really aren't. What they are doing is playing with the 2's and 3's. (not really, just having some fun)

DSG looked incredible...That's such a great story. I really hope this kid gets a fair shot

Off topic, but a poster (whose name I cannot remember) said that he no longer lives in Cleveland. I'm pretty sure he still does. There are so many things Joe posts on twitter in and around Cleveland that there is no way he is flying in just to do those things. I mean he posted a video in the Flats watching a barge navigate the Cuyahoga River on a Monday. A MONDAY!

I'm pretty sure he lives in Wisconsin but is in Cleveland often. He has been in Cleveland all the this week for the Washington game.

Yeah I think Joe is back and forth between both places

Ok. I stand corrected. It's just that he posts things being in Cleveland all the time.

He is a regular on Cleveland Browns Daily too. He might as well host the damn thing.

Haskins had some real nice throws ...

Did he only start one year at OSU?

-Bar stories with Eve-

I went to the bar today to watch the Game.

I didnt get to watch it much, because a really nice friendly hot young man chat my ear for 2 hours. He was fun. I hope I run into him again.

What I did see of it.... Our backup QBs dont look like hot garbage. They look servicable. Which was a concern for me. Good.

Also, Baker, please shave that thing off your face. Please and Thank You.

Yes, one knee = two feet.

As long as you caught the first series with the ones (and maybe a couple great catches and a run-back later), a possible assignation with a healthy young person is probably a good diversion to get through the preseason.

I assume he had no mustache.

Btw - Stanton looking serviceable sounds a little like a happy hour outlook.

When asked about his newest facial hair choices, Mysterious Mustache Baker said:

“Maybe you’ll find out [why I grew the mustache]. Maybe you won’t. I don’t know. That’s the elegance of having a mustache. You just don’t know what’s gonna happen. … It’s like the QB RV — you guys just don’t know.”

The QB RV is exactly what it sounds like — an RV for just the Browns quarterbacks — although offensive linemen reportedly have VIP access and any offensive player is allowed to stop by too. But the media, including HBO’s Hard Knocks cameras, are not invited.

Mysterious Mustache Baker also confirmed that his new look will not lead to him moonlighting in any presumably adult films. Which is good because between his arm and his mustache, he’s got a lot going on already.

I think he lost a bet.

Or his wife has a Burt Reynolds fetish.

He just needs to not trim it so high - more Fu-Chu and less Adolf would look better.

What did u think of Kush’s play? ... he was in for awhile ... please elaborate on what u saw ...

One thing I LOVED was Freddie putting the O in the two minute drill .. he coaches like the Tuna in that regard ... he puts pressure on them now so they should handle it better on sundays ... and a monday and Thursday ... *L* ...

j/c:

I posted earlier because I saw three drives due to the weather delay in the Jets/Giants game last night. I'll reiterate a bit and offer some observations of some other guys.

--Baker was awesome. Decisive. Checked-down when needed. Accurate. I loved how he was leading the cheers for the team a good part of the night. [Note: I said that earlier, but I feel I have to repeat it because people get very sensitive about him.]

Okay.............new stuff:

--Mack Wilson is a superior athlete. Dude jumps off the screen. Great range. Great hands. Speed. He looked great in coverage and rushed the passer well. Runs guys down in the running game, but lacks bulk/strength at the point of attack in the running game. I really like this guy.

--Not as impressed by Taki as some.

--Not sure who this Burris guys is. His number is 31. He flashed on the screen for me. Very decisive and goes from A to B very quickly.

--Whitehead, the Safety, looked pretty good. He's got a nose for the ball.

--Kush did a very good job in pass pro.

--DJ Montgomery impressed me w/that highpoint catch down the sideline.

--Hyman looked good and then he fumbled. Tough break.

--Higgins shined. I think ed and I were the only two guys that wanted the Browns to draft him. Glad we did.

--Strong looked good, too.

--Not impressed by the backup RBs. The one dude from Miami looked okay, but he runs too upright.

--Our DL has a lot of talent.

--My favorite moment was the punt return by Sheely-Guisepi [sorry if I butchered the spelling] Dude is certainly fast, but the best part was the reaction of almost the entire team. The one dude accidentally clothes-lined him and I think he was really hurting from that. But, what a great moment. Those guys are rooting for him. And I think it's events like that that can really bring a team together. He probably won't make the team............but, what a great moment.

Someone at work today told me this made national news. People were loving it. I had people telling me it made them want to be Browns fans. My how times have changed. They also noticed how hyped Baker, the team's franchise QB, was for him. They thought the whole scene was just awesome.

I actually stopped watching shortly before it happened and only caught it on the replay. I regret that decision now. LOL.

One other thought for now. This one is a negative.

Man, the Brown's announcers were bad. Historically bad. They kept pontificating about their little story lines that they wanted to get in and missed calling the action. And they kept talking while the refs were announcing the call on the field. Timid doesn't have the personality for the business. Joe Thomas was a breath of fresh air. The discussion of the backup RB was a catastrophe. The Play-by-Play guy wasn't even making sense when discussing that.

Agree. They were pretty awful.

It's obvious you hate him: still can't resist the temptation to bash Couch.

You have it mixed up.

I dislike Baker--the person. However, I think he has played well and I have hope for him as a franchise qb.

I think Timid is a nice enough guy, but I just thought he sucked as a player.

What are you smoking? Thomas looks anorexic at best.

Anorexic: No
Ripped: Yes

When u watch again if u could focus on kush’s run blocking i’d Appreciate it ...

Vers .. any thoughts on kush’s run blocking?

JT looks great (and as an aside, so does Tim Couch)

I saw that he had a nice block on the Chubb's long run, but I didn't see much else. I just noticed that he did a very good job in pass pro.

He probably did not excel in run blocking because there were not many holes for the RBs no matter which guys were on the OL.

Wilson was impressive. Has more range and cover skill than I gave him credit for. Really want to see more of his game. He seemed to have the right moves on reading and reacting. An exciting, punishing group of LBs would be welcome! And we don't need to worry about TakiT taking plays off.

Just refreshing to see this much good and Bernie AND JT! Almost more than this man can stand (but I am willing to risk it! .!).

Focus next time bro ... *L* ...

Thanks for responding ...

Bernie has lost a lot of weight and has really appeared much more svelt the past few months. Props to him (and I hope it was done through exercise and not being sick)

Put up all the pics you want BUT...

He looked very frail on the TV broadcast.

There was a comment after a Joe Thomas segment during the game, the announcer said he wasn't sure which was thinner, Joe Thomas or Bernie Kosar...

Frail?

If that's frail, I need to get me a frail man.

Did not see the entire game..

How nice is it to go into the preseason with no stupid qb controversey or audition or any of that. Even though we have a new coach, I think it's not exactly a new system since Freddie was around last year. It's a nice feeling to just not have to worry about it.

I think one series, especially with how good it was, is enough for Baker. I'm sure he will play more as the preseason moves along, but the sooner you get him outta there, the better.

This team has a lot of good young talent. I think this is gonna be a fun year.

Still some things to clean up, and I'm sure we'll have some bad moments in these new few games, but i can't wait until this thing gets going for real

Which is even more impressive lol ...

But I liked that Baker took what was there. To me, teams are gonna double OBJ and it’s gonna leave TONS of mismatches elsewhere (especially on the RBs)

Take it all day

"We're going to play 2 minute drill, but without Landry or OBJ, so we're going to start our 3rd string receiver, and some guys buried on the depth chart. You guys try to stop us. OK?"
