Camp Battles / Browns Training Camp 2021
-
Certainly reads like a very good Browns Camp start from many media markets.. Led my a good leader in Kevin Stefanski
also, Reads like Tony Fields maybe our first PuP list player? (as long as he could still be zoom'd coached?)
Head coach Kevin Stefanski indicated in his press session that it’s a different injury than the previous foot injury Fields suffered earlier this spring. It’s the other foot.
Stefanski gave no timeline on any potential return for Fields beyond stating he will “miss time”. The speedy rookie was expected to compete for a reserve LB job as well as on special teams, but the injury slows down any momentum Fields might have carried from his recent draft status.
Browns go right back at it today at 2:25 pm
Go Browns !

Sounds of stacking 3 good days together... https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2021/7/30/22601712/cleveland-browns-training-camp-recap-day-3-fans-return-to-berea verse air
Pads can come on? The first padded practice will take place on Tuesday, August 3, which is standard procedure as the beginning of camp is an acclimation period.
Loads of individual player notes? Scattered in several media outlets everywhere ! good luck, on whom to believe ?
Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -
Search for it if you like - but that 2016 season when Hue tried to put RG3 at the helm. Nathan Zagura and the sunshine pumpers that were "camp reports" were saying he looked fantastic.
Lying through their teeth or had no idea what they were watching. Pryor bailed out throw after throw with his wingspan.
So I trust camp reports about as much as I trust my ex-fiance. And that bitch is loooooong gone.

Derick Willies retired after practice.
I knew what this response was going to say
...before the 2nd reaction ding 
Willies grabbed the hearts of many browns fans when we beat the Ravens... when we really had no players to do so..
and yes the reports of are coming https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/07/30/derrick-willies-retires-from-nfl/
but damm... the last 3 days, sounds like we might have 7 WR's better than free Willies ?... some guys just can't shake that NFL injury bug...

own eyes ?.. I clearly get your opinion though.. it takes me hours to weed out, the need to tweet... big nothings..
I only use the full Browns Daily pod to confirm matching media reports on players first.. I get more out of it, with muting Zagura & FF to the next play.. And hey! we might have talked Ward into putting on that bulk & a few pounds we talked about from pg.1..
I'm open to seeing Ward & Greedy playing closer to the 190 playing weight coming into camp..
guessing I'm not against the new trend of tPackers 5' 10"'ish Jaire Alexander CB's playing at 196lbs..
Enjoyed watching Ward'ens presser from today... Reports & my vision say he's playing around 190 lbs. & looked every bit of it..He looked solid from the presser i saw...

Considering he was 182lbs at combine and rookie year, his body has reach maturity. Those 8lbs naturally come with filling out and training.

Watching his segment on Justin Fields. Like several segments with his evaluation of collegiate players, I find myself disagreeing. And being that this has been my QB, a guy I've watched every game of his for 2 years... I think I have a leg to stand on.

He’s not ready or he just doesn’t have it?

I absolutely hated the drafting site of Haskins going to the Bears...Matt Nagy is on thin ice and a messy play caller...Nagy will sink his own coaching ship...
It may take another John Dorsey trade to see Dwayne Haskins play?
...
Da' Browns ? Our ship is on a direct course...

I don't necessarily believe in the whole "X person doesn't have IT". (Notable exceptions: Weeden was obvious, Manziel was a trainwreck waiting to happen, Kizer was a big kid not ready to play chess) I mean, I believe you can evaluate someone's highs, lows, in/consistencies, and presentable strengths along with their weaknesses. I said after the NU game that Fields would fall regardless of what happened against Clemson. Clemson was a team running on fumes at linebacker and secondary, their breeze through the ACC then the brick wall against Burrow and Co. all but proved that. So Fields feasting on that secondary, while fucking awesome, was always much more of a possibility than a more disciplined defense such as Northwestern (crazy to say)
In watching Kollmann's video, I noticed he left out that NU game, and he left out the Clemson game from 2019 where he struggled pretty bad. The Buckeye offense ran largely through Dobbins in 2019 and when Fields was forced to carry the load, he faltered at times. The pick to Isiah Simmons was... just awful. That first year, even into bowl season with the entire regular season under his belt, wasn't that much an improvement as a passer. The running game and elite pass pro carried the team. You'll notice that Fields was accredited with, I want to say, 13 sacks on that year? Pretty damn high number. That is indicative of a few things, none of them good. I will say this, the NU could be called a bit "fluky", a thumb injury, starting receiver out... I get it. Then he torched Clemson and didn't make similar mistakes to which he did the year previous. But there was another little glaring problem - being better against an even trashier secondary isn't THAT great as a feat. And the Buckeye offense was incredibly spotty at times in 2020. I see the good, I really do. He has the physical traits to be a good QB and I don't question his work ethic such as Dan Orlovsky does. That is cliche' bullshit. But some of the mental pre-snap, along with playing under duress while having the footwork necessary to change launch points within the pocket or to safely and consistently create space and the time to hit said window are my questions... Clearly several GM's felt the same way I did after that NU game, you can go back through and view early days of my conversation with Gipper. Fields was being touted as the guaranteed #2 QB until the B1G title game. Then he took a tumble. I wasn't the only one to see these things and have question.
Justin also has the misfortunate of ending up in Chicago vs a place like San Fran. So instead of ending up with a better offensive mind, a better Oline, a better running game and receivers - he has to make due with Matt Nagy, a so-so line, a spotty running game and decent receivers. Sure the running game can benefit from Justin's legs, but any little mishap can be a season ending injury. He just didn't end up in a good situation and it's beyond rare that a rookie just fixes a teams problems.

This is a fair assessment. I don’t think he’s ready but I think the Bears will simplify it and ease him in and rely on his athleticism moving the pocket and cutting the field in half. Having said that he will have some struggles next year.
His pre-snap game needs to improve. He needs to diagnose defenses better and he needs better blitz anticipation. He will get chewed up a little here next year but I think in his 20 or so starts at OSU he’s improved a lot here from the Fall of 2019. He’s a worker and I don’t see him as the type to get discouraged so hopeful is where I am at with this area.
Can’t deny the arm talent and legs. He’s made NFL throws throughout his time at OSU

Camp day 5 is in the books..
https://www.brownszone.com/2021/08/02/training-camp-log-day-5-rashard-higgins-back-and-making-plays/
Log of updated injury report.. https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2021/08/02/browns-injury-update-going-into-padded-practices/?taid=61087821558c3300016a8396&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_ Tretter was also out (ill) today..Nick Harris took T1 snaps at center..
1st Padded practice is Tuesday...
If you've watched Building the Browns? Anthony Walker jr.starts in #54.. By the end of filming, Walker is wearing #4...I'm not a Doctor ?.. but At 20:45.. you can see Walker stretching out something in his Left Knee/leg going back to the huddle.. Today's injury is being reported as a Right Knee injury.( edit- all updates report, Left knee/leg as wrapped).. No injury updates..No MRI scheduled ?.. Last season Malcolm Smith would sub in for BJ Goodson at MLB..
stay tuned..
Via my Browns Daily viewing... Beware of a sleeper in our Cornerback room...#38 in your programs...AJ Green is popping up everywhere ?.. Hoping AJ continues to show up in pads...
Go Browns !

There's been a fresh new face as a Plain's dealer writer this season.(or MKC hid his pencil?
). I've enjoyed most of Ellis L. Williams coverage lately.. More fun TE stuff here...

Has to be tough as hell being a new cb in the NFL.
Greedy Williams, Troy Hill had their vertical speed and quickness tested on Day 3. What did we learn? Ellis L. Williams
-
Something that article mentioned which I touched on when the signing was announced - expecting to see Troy Hill get reps on the perimeter. In your base defenses, regardless of what that particular call might be for that game, Troy functions as your #2. He has the veteran production and time in this league that Greedy and Newsome simply don't have. By that same merit though, I would fully expect him to align inside on some tougher draws personnel wise, while Greedy or Newsome play the outside spot in our nickel or dime looks. This allows Troy to use his quickness, mind and better technique against receivers that have more options for their routes. He's simply seen more of it. Then our taller and younger DB's battle it out over the other spot in sub looks.
It's a wonderful problem to have (health permitting)

This is music to my ears....................exactly what I expect to see from game 1 on. ??
