DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Preseason Gameday vs New England What do YOU want to see??

Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green!

It will be nice to watch more meaningless action devoid of the usual QB Soap Opera.

Oh wait, that will be there anyway.


Is there anyone "on the cusp" we should be watching?

I wanna see Green’s athleticism. I have only seen him play one game in college. Against Ole Miss he was pretty athletic.

its all about Green this game. Can he add anything to our roster

I want to watch Green play. DG should be ok. I want to see Green's execution of offensive calls and his reactions. Also any reads. I predict he gets a lot of ground game. Not terribly nuts about preseason games. Just the annual "So What Bowl."

I want to see what we have in the way of Oline and Dline depth. I wouldn't mind establishing a point of reference for Green so we can start watching his development.

I think it will be terribly difficult in any way get a baseline in regards to Green at any level when it's the scrubs playing against the scrubs. We already know what his strengths are and all we could really see is an reinforcement of what's known. I don't think it tells us anything about what it would look like if he were injected into a regular season game.

The only thing I was really looking forward to was at least a few drives with the starters. But it seems the powers that be don't feel that having a starting QB who has been splitting reps, an entirely new O system and with two rookie WR's they'll be depending on as well as an entirely new D have any need for reps together in a game type situation before the season starts.

A very interesting concept.

I also think the starters should be playing a few sets of downs. After tomorrow night, we're not playing again for almost 2 and a half weeks. well. I'm not the coach.

I'm not the coach either. But when you have an entire new coaching staff and so many rookies you're depending on to start the season, having zero reps together during the entire preseason seems like rather basic math. Just like some faux starting QB competition you knew the answer to before starting the backup in last weeks preseason game trying to pretend it was still a competition. Some things are pretty evident.

It's not some prediction of the future as far as I'm concerned but an attempt at deception and zero reps with the 1's during the entire preseason under these conditions isn't what I would call a confidence booster to start off with.

I'm curious as to how this whole QB roster thing will play out. You can't just stuff Green on the practice squad. Hell, there were strong rumors that someone in the North wanted him. All signs point to us going into the season with 4 QB on the roster.

That said, the biggest question with Green is his nearly "impossible to fix" mechanics, particularly the throwing motion. It will be interesting to dissect that with some live-game action.

I want to see Green throw for 300+ yards, 2 Passing TDs, 1 rushing TD, his jersey going on sale on NFL.com and fans reviving the "Kosar should be our OC" pitch.

.....it could happen.

I agree. I'd even say until they score 2 TD's or a TD and 2 FG's. I know people worry about injury, but if the starters can't score points against mostly back-up's, does it really matter?

You have my attention! Do we get tantalized with a little Tressel as HC and Cribbs running the ST unit?

I'm rooting for for one of the new punters to win the battle to mix things up.

Lastly, the battle for the final WR spot(s) between Larvadain, Corley and Floriea.

Maybe we bring Schwartz back as DC too?!

What do I want to see?

I'd probably prefer to watch re-runs of 'Maude'.

Me too. That show was:

· Uncompromising
· Enterprising
· Anything but tranquilizing

Maude is a show that I legitimately haven't thought about in 30 years haha excellent

You sold me on Maude!

I want to see the game. Fortunately the game is on Amazon Prime Video, or local TV in Cleveland or the New England area.

Gabriel wants to play QB somewhere.... that's for sure.

Man, Gabriel had him a half, 12-15 for 186 and 3 TD. Browns had 5 drives, not counting the final from their own 11 or so, and scored 3 TD and 2 FG. Sure it's a meaningless preseason game, but it was nice to see the Browns look like a professional team.

DG is increasing his value whether it’s with us or in a trade

He had one heck of a 1st Half, for sure.

Super efficient, making theows to the right spots to let the WR make plays.

Granted it's with and against guys that will be out of the league next week, but he's still looking a cut above r8ght now.

It better be with us, but he is the only QB other teams would take in a trade. Nobody is going to trade for Watson or Shedufus.

Gabriel will be the starter before this season is over.

Of course Gabriel looking like the second coming of Doug Floutie.
