will be nice to have the games count for real

Sometimes these preseason games are the best games of the season for us Browns fans, unfortunately.

Real nice punt!

Corners still can't catch

Looks bad for Pocic.

Wypler SZN.

Figures

TD!!!

Flacccccccccccccco

Our D looks so good so far!

Guess were back to the no fun league

Well .. leave the receiver open by 15 yards ......

TD!!!

Over under hopkins blows 3 games

Our run defense is not very good.

Under ..... because he might not make the team.

We defiantly need to look at options.

Both Flacco and Gabriel looked really good.

He's garbage but my guess is he makes the 53 because of his contract.

Well .... Sanders definitely has some work to do.

I was glad to see Fannin Jr with a couple of catches and the TD.

Sanders needs consoling after being benched, was he crying- he drifted back MANY times a known weakness, he fumbled/ or nearly so- he showed he's a 5th RD talent-- Huntley more talented than he- JMHO, could easily be cut.

- Was a little disappointed the starters could muster only one scoring drive against L.A.'s backups.
- Flacco with a nice TD throw to Fannin
- Hopkins should be released, I'm not convinced he will be though.
- Gabriel looked good. Did a nice job moving the team up and down the field. He missed an opportunity when he tried to squeeze the ball into Thrash on the TD.
- Schwesinger continuing to be very impressive.
- The depth in the secondary is quite concerning.
- Be interesting to see if the Browns keep Carter or Larvadain. I think they keep Carter and put Larvadain on the practice squad.
- Sanders may have peaked against the Panthers' grocery store clerks. The drifting and taking and unnecessary were the same things said about him in college.
- Sanders body language and demeanor were inexcusably poor. Tony Brown tried to cheer him up after the browns actually won the game but he kept moping around.
- Adin Huntington continued making a strong case for a roster spot on the 53.
- Harden has to catch the ball for an INT.

On to the regular season.

He earned his roster spot.

SS played poorly. Not much help around him, but don't blame them. Lot of the struggles and fails were self-inflicted. Took sacks, struggled with reads, and mentally collapsed. Second half looked like a tantrum after we gave them the ball back on drives with no points. Obviously our announcer couldn't shut up about him during halftime and into second half until he was pulled. Inane number of attempts to blow up rookie QB controversy he seemed to insist on. Endless.
We could have talked about Joe Cool's success. Solid performance. Gabriel really played well. Defense was chat worthy. Sanders is bottom of depth chart in my view.
We went 3-0 pre. We have cutdown coming. We need some positions shopped and some folks chopped. Good luck, Browns! I believe ditching Camp Cupcake has resulted in success; we look more game-ready.

Not sure why my last post isn’t showing up. Stefanski said that it doesn’t look like Pocic’s injury is a long term thing.

Very VERY good news. Probably a sprain, hopefully mild.

I hate to say things base on the preseason since it's just very generic playcalling that creates an illusion. That being said,

Flacco looks relaxed and ready to kick some arse. Fanning did terrible at blocking but amazing as a receiver. Run game looked putrid.

DG looked efficient and more calm and moved the ball. I don't think he is ready to start but he is fine as the backup.

SS definitely regressed into his old bad habits. I am also pretty sure he was still hurt which affected the accuracy of his throws. What saddens me is that I saw him making good mental progress before this game but he made himself look why he fell to the 5th ... slow decision making and taking way too long to throw the football. He clearly needs more time to get rid of those bad habits. He is nowhere near ready to be the starter and handed the back up to DG for the year most likely.

Schwesinger looks more and more like the steal of the draft!!! That kid is ON FIRE!!! He will be a starter for a LOOOOONG time to come.

Dillon Gabriel played really well. Kudos to him. He earned all the praise in the world.

Flacco and the starters played impressive and as expected but it’s pre season games without most starters so I take all results with a grain of salt until the big boys arrive.
The defense looked good. Dillon definitely deserved to be the QB2 and everything is rosie and fine until it’s not. Week 1-6 will tell us if the optimism is deserved.

It’s obvious that Stefanskis main plan all along was to set up Sanders to fail to justify his own selections. He succeed. I give him that.

This’s the second time he let his ego come before the best interest of one of his players. That’s alarming.
I don’t like to say it because the Browns local cavalry will come out in full force to defend him and that will take away the good feelings from todays all around good performances but what I see is a small human being who can’t handle guys with genuine swagger and confidence. First Baker and now this young man.

I see on social media that I’m not alone and it’s really telling that a white old conservative man from northern part of Scandinavia is in full sync with a large part of the black community because of such a blatant lack of respect against a young black man. I just talked to my black friend Darryl from San Mateo and he agreed with me despite being a die hard Niner fan.

Shedeur must for his own good leave this organization asap..

Just watched the rest of the game. Preseason Champs! 3 & 0!

SS was pretty bad this game. He'll need a lot of coaching to learn how to play properly in the NFL. He hangs onto the ball way too long and also loses yards running backwards. He's obviously not ready for prime time. Maybe one day? Maybe not? Regardless, not a good look from him today.

Under. I think we keep the other kicker.

“It’s obvious that Stefanskis main plan all along was to set up Sanders to fail to justify his own selections. He succeed. I give him that.”

Yeah, the head coach wants his rookie to fail. My god, you are so intelligent, football savvy. You’re too good for the rest of us. I wouldn’t blame you if you never posted here again.

You’re either a troll or an idiot.

"It’s obvious that Stefanskis main plan all along was to set up Sanders to fail to justify his own selections. He succeed. I give him that."

Obvious hey?

What is the depth chart of the Browns quarterbacks?
Let me help you Flacco, Pickett, DG, SS.

What possible incentive would KS have trying to sabotage SS?

Do you know the complete roster and how each player's time is allotted?

Have you ever run or seen a football practice?

To make a statement like you made about any head coach in the NFL making his main plan to be about setting up a any player to fail only illustrates your lack of knowledge about the NFL.

One thing that Joe Thomas pointed out was that there were times when Sanders had a pocker to step up into, but drifted backwards instead. He has to learn pocket awareness.

What is obvious is SS has trouble reading a D and frankly, I don't think he has command of the playbook. It doesn't look like he knows where the receivers go on a play. He knows the #1 guy. If that guy isn't open quickly he has to spend too much time searching for another option.

Another thing that is obvious is it doesn't bode well for a players development if his Dad has been his coach his whole life.

And one other thing...Huntley had no problem getting us in to FG position, playing with the same player Sanders was.

Bottom line is Sanders problems were on him. Nobody else.

Hopefully they’ll coach it out of him.
