Obviously Sanders is #1 for everyone .. but I'd like to see what Gabriel looks like too. Interesting to see how they divvy up the snaps
I want to see more Sampson too. He's a rookie and IMO needs the live reps
#84 (the WR with the long name lol) is intriguing to me
We need the kicking game to get corrected ASAP
Love to see our DL play as well again against a much better opponent

Obviously quarterback play.
Flacco will most likely be the week one starter.
So, play the others and determine who is number two.
I think the Browns have to ID their number two receiver.
Tillman, Thrash, Diontae Johnson one of these guys needs to seize the job.

I concur with the previous 3 posts and I would also like to see more of our RB's Marshall and Taua. We may have something with those 2 guys.

I want to see Sanders of Flacco start. Preferably Flacco since this is a very good team and he could use the time to get ready for the season even if he only plays a few series. I am worried they are resting Flacco TOO MUCH because he needs to get timing with the team down with the brutal start to the season. I also don't mind if Sanders starts. The last start was against a very bad team so I want to see how he does against an elite team famous for it's pass rush. Even if Sanders bombs I think it would be a good learning experience and if he does well against this team then gives him some legitimacy. If they start start Sanders then let him play the whole first half and let Gabriel play the second half if he is healthy enough to play.
The next game Flacco should be the starter and play at least a quarter and then to be fair you give Gabriel the majority of snaps after that with maybe some 4th snaps to Pickett if he is healthy enough to play. Too many QBs and not enough food to go around.

Sanders pulled or strained his oblique and is currently being held out of practice. Don't know if he'll be ready to play in time for the game.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

Well, scratch the Sanders hope. I have very little interest to watch now. I'll check out Gabriel a bit, but only to see what he looks like

Just overall sound football from the guys on the field. I’m not worried about the QB thing because we know Joltin’ Joe will be starting week 1.
If SS plays, I’d like to see him NOT drift 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage, trying to make a play when none is there. Just throw it away.
The RB Taua, in the few plays I saw last Friday he seemed to collect good yards.
Hopkins needs to get his stuff together, or he’ll soon be kicking his can down the road, or more likely, he’ll shank it into the ditch.
I’d like to see Sampson break off some good runs.

Lol Another year of those little monsters terrorizing the locker room like the pudgy kid in A League of Their Own.

I'll add that I'd like to see our CBs play ok .. reports are they were torched today by the Eagles good WRs

I will add that Sanders is not my number one yet. Just to correct another poster. I want to see more of the room. To see us against a better group and hold our own. I want to watch the DL and LB especially. Kicking!

Yeah, Sanders, to me, is our backup. I'd ditch Pickett and put Gabriel as the 3rd

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.

I think Gabriel ends up with the raw deal here. Sanders got to look decent against one of the worst teams in the NFL while Gabriel gets to get pummeled by arguably the best defense in the NFL. Gabriels is going to have a LONG DAY. Then the Sanders fanatics will be look how Dillon sucks so Sanders is so much better. It's getting tedious. It's just annoying because I really like Sanders and want to root for him but I can't stand the nutcases going rabid for him. I don't really see any great QBs coming out in next years draft either so I hope Sanders shows enough to keep us from wasting a draft pick on one of them.
I would actually like to see Flacco do great this year and resign for next year while Sanders and Dillion fight it out for the backup role and build up experience the right way. Honestly, I don't mind if we keep Pickett too the way we go through QBs.
Then I would trade back from both our first round picks and try to pick up extra picks to move up in the 2027 draft. I think that is the draft where we will draft our next franchise QB IF and only IF Sanders doesn't pan out. I am weird though because I would trade back in the draft every year I could at least pick up extra second round picks. I would stockpile 2nd round picks like crazy to build a solid team of cheap starters then use the money I save on the cap to sign the best skill players because it's hard for team to resign those top skill players. You can build a real top grade offensive line, defensive line, LB corps, safety corps, TE tandems, and kickers with second round picks. A top notch kicker often earns more points for a team than the best WR or HB. Either way there is a lot of good talent in the second round that is very cap friendly. I would trade all my late round picks to move up to the second round any day. After all there are only so many rookies who can even make the team.

Just see continued growth.
It will be a tougher task. The Eagle are a better than Carolina and one more week in to camp.

How you draft tells your story.
I am encouraged so far for this year because the guys we drafted have had good camps.
Graham has impressed many. Schwesinger has already become a starter.
Fanning has been getting great reviews. Sanders has played well.
Sampson and Judkins have time to get ready and we shall see.
Gabriel will get his chance.
Going forward if we get great returns on the players we draft. We will become a great team.
If Sanders or Gabriel can become a legit starter this will be a terrific year.

I'd like to have Gabriel get a shot at starting like Sanders did last week... Give him a shot. Let's see what we have.
Wanna see more of the Running game.

I want to see my projected starting QB actually play in a pre-season game for a change. Mahomes plays in pre-season games...but not our QBs. I know that Flacco will be 'ready'...but he's (1) of (11) out there. A series or two...even just going through the motions is valuable.
I think we have a problem with OG and CB depth...want to see those guys look respectable.
I want to see what the 'projected' #3 thru #X WRs do with the starting QB under Center. I want projected backup QBs to play a little with the starters...or a few starters...when/if they are forced to play I'd like them to see what #1 gametime action really looks like.
