- Brissett with the 1’s and moving the ball … it’s imperative that he gets everyone some confidence
- WR is an area of concern, especially after Cooper. I’d like to see some guys make some plays
- Johnson/Ford looking good … having them ready is important
- NO INJURY

Pre-season game is about getting everyone some work and protecting veterans.

You want to see if the rookies can put the playbook and practice into application against competition.

I want to see the defensive tackles. I want to see all the second and third string players play.

I think all the quarterbacks should play some.

I don't have any real expectations just want to see what we have.

DT is another area of concern. I’m interested to see any development from Elliott

Add to that:
Njoku to hold on to a TD pass.
JOK to get a sack before he leaves the game.
Rosen and/or Dobbs to get enough playing time with the 2's to learn the playbook.
Cade to make every single FG.

I want to see Josh Rosen lead us to victory on the final drive.

But being serious...


- I want to see Deshaun. I want get excited seeing him play and hopefully shows what is to come. I'd be nice to see a Watson-to-Cooper or Watson-to-Njoku TD connection.
- I want to see the interior DL options and overall depth.
- I want to see Jerome Ford.
-I want to see David Bell.
- I want to get a better idea of what we have in Brissett assuming we'll be seeing a bunch of him.
- I want to see a healthy Wills and Conklin.

I have not yet seen anything about guys playing or not playing so some points may become irrelevant.

I doubt that I'll bother to watch, but...

Preseason games are very vanilla. Jax does not have a secondary loaded with star talent like we do...

so, I'd want to see how our receivers fare in getting open in both Man and Zone situations. Who is running good routes and creating separation? Who demonstrates an ability to find the holes in the zones? Can any of the QBs find them?

How does the OLine look, particularly our OT's, after last year's injury rampage? Are Hubbard & Conklin back and able to contribute at a high level, yet?

How do the DT's look? Penetrating? Are they controlling blocks and playing Run on the way to the QB, or are they simply creating & vacating a hole for the Jax RB's to storm through?


Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

I also want to see Brissett looking good with the 1's.
No injuries.
Lots of running the ball.

Maybe a sneak peak of our dominant defense.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Just went looking, so I thought I’d share…

“In addition to the Browns' local broadcasts on News 5 — the preseason home of the Browns — NFL Network will carry live the Browns' preseason games at Jacksonville (Aug. 14, 7 p.m.) and against the New York Giants at FirstEnergy Stadium (Aug. 22, 1 p.m.). Fans watching locally, however, will only have access to the game via the News 5 broadcast. Cleveland's preseason finale at Atlanta (Aug. 29, 8 p.m.) was already slated to air nationally as part of NBC's Sunday Night Football package.”

I want to see the offense actually have a play that
Covers more than 30 yds.
This offense was so.vanilla and lacking in splash
Chunk plays last year.
There is a time and place for time consuming drives
But if your offense can score in less than 6 plays
Now you have the defense stressing itself out and
A DC.searching for answers.

- I want to see Perrion Winfrey play, hope he tears it up

- I want to see that Basketball turned Football player play TE, name escapes me right now

- I want to see Cade York make all his kicks

Any word on seeing the game? Our newspaper, wrong multiple times last year, listed our gamed as only on radio. Columbus? Bar? NFL? I wanna see the Elf on the Field.

I don’t think the game will be televised outside of cleveland until the NFLN shows the replay

I counter that with a season long suspension this season and then shreds his ACL on the opening drive, week 1 of the 2023 season. tongue

Well let’s add finding a KR/PR to the mix

Maybe a series or 2. Maybe.

I would play Watson for one series, maybe two if the first one is only 3-4 plays. I'd play Brissett 1 or 2 series and then play Dobbs and Rosen the rest of the game.

Edit: I would play the starting OL w/both Watson and Brissett.

I agree. The risk with playing both QBs is that our OL is gonna have to be out there for both too

None of the key starters played in the first preseason game last year. Nor did they play in the second game. Only Baker played two series in the third preseason game.

I would also add that this year is only 3 preseason games, so it may be like the HOF game, where very few starters play.

Wow! Thanks for the info.

I was wondering if the guys would play a bit more due to there being one less preseason game. Guess I was wrong about that assumption. Thanks again for the info.

Thinking about it now, I wonder if Watson will get just a little bit more playing time compared to a #1 QB under normal circumstances in a preseason game (considering how long it has been since he played in a game and how long it might be before he plays another).

Probably not. A lot of money to risk for one unfortunate hit.

Just a note to my question yesterday. When I checked the NFL channel, we were not listed. Our paper still lists only two radio broadcasts. When I checked cable, they have Browns listed at game time on Channel 21, which I think is a Columbus feed for Spectrum. FWIW

Get Elfed, y'all! Go, Browns!

Without starting a new thread I thought I’d ask:

Is there any way to watch the game live if you don’t live in the CLE area?

Oops… you’re right. My bad.

I just checked. The game will be aired at midnight PCT. I set it to record and will just have to watch it Saturday morning.
