Bitonio doesn’t prioritize winning?
I thought it was only Stefanski.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

I think Vrabel was the best offseason move we made. I know he's just here until Day loses to michigan again and gets to go to his dream job, but he's got to be a huge value right now for both Stefanski and Schwartz

Sleepy time in the foothills of Appalachia! I need more videos of the offense absolutely crushing it against air in a non-contact environment.
Wake me up when the season starts and the games actually matter. Until then, wishing good health on the team throughout TC.

This is an excellent example of networking in the corporate world. This should land Vrabel a HC job next year.

We are fortunate to have Vrabel.
He can only be a positive.
Great background of winning in the NFL. He knows what the end product should look like.
We have three guys who have been head coaches. They all work well together.
If we can escape injury. We should be a damn good team.

It took us a long time to have a competent FO and coaching staff not to mention a talented team. Let's hope it all comes together this season and we can get to our first SB!!

Overall from the top of the organization to the bottom I have not felt better about the Browns since 1987.
Jimmy and Dee have come a long way as owners.
We have the best coaching we have had since Marty. Berry and KS are complementary parts that work together well.
The roster has talent on all levels. Each unit has leaders.
The starting team is damn near final except for high level competition where either player could start.
We have better depth overall than we have had.
Deshaun Watson is the final piece. Yes, he has to perform on the field.
However, I feel that he is ready to do what we have all expected from him. Time will tell but, I am confident.
I am looking forward to this season. Fingers crossed that we can escape critical injuries.

I love your optimism. I try to be this way every year at the beginning. The only year I wasn't, was 2020 when we made the playoffs. Go figure.

So many factors go into determining a season. You never know how things will turn out.
We have a damn good roster. I thought when we got Odell that year we would do well but we did not.
Our division is rough and tumble. The schedule is far from easy.
But I feel good. I like the team and think we can do well.

I agree. Add in a couple of others and I see a bunch of toss-up games. There is a thin margin either way.

The games are close. The margins are slim.
You never know who will be injured on either side for any given game.
We have a good team. I am hopeful that we will have a great year.
There have been many years when I felt we had no chance.

WOW a week from Saturday and the games begin.
Once pre-season begins. It goes fast. Every week a game to go over.
Looking forward to the beginning.

Hopefully, the stretcher and hospital trip was just to be extra cautious.

While we all hope it isn't bad the fact that once the ambulance arrived they decided to transport him via helicopter is not a good indicator.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

While we all hope it isn't bad the fact that once the ambulance arrived they decided to transport him via helicopter is not a good indicator. Emergency medicine in Appalachia is different than in the rest of the country in many respects. An ambulance ride to a regional trauma center isn't so practical many times. The trauma centers are also geographically spread out much more. There are no straight roads in West Virginia. I've seen helicopters called in for all sorts of injuries that seemingly weren't life-threatening. But the ambulance ride of three or four hours to the hospital would be a patient care concern. Just calling in a bird isn't an indicator of imminent doom.

I didn't say anything about "imminent doom". Is that what your definition of the word indicator means? After seeing further reports the rest of what you are saying makes sense.

j/c
just keeping up with TC from a distance, but it feels like Njoku is continuing his track to be a big difference maker. I also am glad that Cooper's contract was straightened out.
The signs about DTR improving is a welcome sight as well
"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."
