Yeah, it's everyone elses fault.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

What's that have to do with the up coming game? 🤔

Get off your high horse and stop attempting to derail this thread.

don't do anything so nobody knows what the heck/// you might do. rofl bhaaa, ahem..

I think
WHATEVER THEY'VE DONE IN THE PRESEASON FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS,
DON'T DO THAT

Don't do that,

because they've lost about every opener, every single opener just about for .. well Forever just abouts LOL rofl

So, if that means,... (shh, Flying the plane upside down?).

then Fly the cussing words Plane UPSIDE *** *** DOWN
anything different, Try Something man; Anything. They ain't never prepared for the start of the season, at the start of the season.

( Don't practice throwing the ball to Cooper
because they might find out you want to throw the ball to Cooper
well you've got nobody other than Cooper so I think they know you'll try and throw the ball to Cooper? rofl x3 )


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

The Winning Mix: 3 keys to success vs. Eagles
Browns looking for another smooth operation at FirstEnergy Stadium
Aug 20, 2022 at 12:15 PM

Anthony Poisal
Staff Writer



After a 24-13 preseason win over the Jaguars last week, the Browns will return to FirstEnergy Stadium for the first time this season in their Week 2 preseason matchup against the Eagles.

Both sides are expected to rest their starters following two joint practice days at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus, but plenty of guys will still have opportunities to build positive impressions among coaches as the Browns look to settle a few roster battles and finalize their depth.

1. Smooth operation on offense
The Browns starters last week didn't open the game on a crisp note — Cleveland gained just seven total yards in the first quarter and didn't pick up a first down. There were penalties and dropped passes, and it wasn't what the Browns wanted to see out of a group that mostly contained first-stringers.

The first-stringers won't be playing this week, but the Browns would still like to start strong with QB Josh Dobbs, who performed well when he entered the game last week and finished 10-for-13 with 108 passing yards and a touchdown. The Browns will use both Dobbs and Josh Rosen on Sunday and want to see each of them command the offense efficiently, which helps the Browns maintain possession and better evaluate all offensive players.


2. Consistency from Cade
Fourth-round rookie K Cade York is set to make his FirstEnergy Stadium debut, and he'll be looking to continue the consistent strides he displayed during training camp in his new home stadium. He unofficially missed just three kicks in 36 field-goal tries during camp practices at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus and truly showed a weapon of a right leg, driving multiple kicks from 50 yards or more with plenty of room to spare. He also was perfect last week and was successful on a 31-yard field goal and all three extra-point attempts.


York and the other specialists practiced field goals at FirstEnergy Stadium about once a week during the offseason program. Now, he'll have more of a gameday feel with fans around him as he continues to settle into kicking in Cleveland.




3. Separation Sunday
Preseason games are all about settling roster battles. The Browns still have a few of those going on at wide receiver as they look to fill out depth chart spots behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones, and there are also competitions still ongoing at punter (Corey Bojorquez and Joseph Charlton), returner and other backup roles across the roster.

Performances Sunday will dictate who wins those jobs, and that's especially true at wide receiver. A big performance from Anthony Schwartz, rookie David Bell, Javon Wims, Ja'Marcus Bradley, Mike Harley Jr., Daylen Baldwin or newly-signed Easop Winston could go a long way toward how the depth chart is finalized, and a few of those guys who have seen reps at returner (Bradley, Harley, Winston) could greatly inflate their stock if they look sharp on any punt and kick return opportunities, too.

Is it probable for someone to think there will be some sort of growth spurt of playing ability from Jamarcus Bradley?

No, not in my opinion ... He knows the offense and all, but there are rookies who have flashed over him and they really shouldn't be if he is going to keep them at bay and secure a roster spot.

With the way Isiaih Tomas played the first game I think the battle for the 5th d end spot is between Wino and Rochelle. I thought Rochelle played well in the first game and have heard he has looked good in practice. Joe Thomas praised Wino during the game for doing the dirty things an end has to do.

Thomas certainly will make the team because if he’s cut he’d be swooped up.

I’ve heard similar things about Rochelle when it comes to his performance at practice. winovich has the experience and it would be tough to cut him too.


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

No doubt that there will be tough cuts to make. What makes it even tougher is when it comes down to numbers and you feel you need to keep some marginal to bad player at one position and have to cut a player who has legit potential at another.

JMO, but sometimes I think teams just need to say "screw the numbers" and keep the better player. Just because you screwed up somewhere in the past doesn't mean you should perpetuate the problem and screw up again. I don't mind when a team makes a bad pick. That happens, but it chaps my ass when they continue to stick with a bad pick. That isn't a mistake, that is a choice.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

My pound the table guy at this point is D'Anthony Bell. I don't know how he is going to make the team, but he needs to make the team.

Not so much from a Browns standpoint, I want to see Kenneth Gainwell. I have to narrow down my keepers in one of my fantasy money leagues and my last spot has been narrowed down to Gainwell or Rondale Moore of the Cards for a flex position.

j/c:

I'm excited to watch today's game. I didn't get to see last week's game. I understand that it's going to be backups on backups, but you can still learn a lot about individual players. I know coaches can. Thus, it isn't meaningless. Technique, recognition, discipline, etc can--and will--be evaluated. For example, is an offensive linemen able to fire out and stay low during the heat of the battle and after he is tired as opposed to standing straight up? Is a WR able to run tight routes? Can he make sight adjustments? Will an Edge guy use the outside-in technique and set the edge or will he allow a man to cross his face? How long will it take a safety to diagnose the offensive play? Are guys selling out while maintaining discipline on special teams coverage units? Etc, etc...

Pouring rain in CLE and they just put new sod on the field last week after the MGK concert. Hopefully, nobody shreds a knee in today’s game.

Bell certainly has turned some heads, but I see him as a SS, and LeCounte is a FS.
I see Bell as Harrisons replacement ... I think that we will keep on Defense: 5 SAF, 5 CB, 5 LB, 5 DE, and 4 DT.

Bell is certainly more valuable than any 6th LB and our 6/7th CB we can probably get to the PS.
