Pre-Season, week 1. CLE v JAX 7PM: NFL Network

Keenum played solid at QB .. Zone blocking looks that tick slower than starters.. but ERnest or Felton can make this work

One thing to remember this year only 3 preseason games less time to judge the newbies, do the BROWNS starters hit it in week 2 and/or 3 ?

Same with the 17 game season some slightly different coaching strategies.

And I'd go CLE +3.5 in Jacksonville.

I say they play three series next week and one the final preseason game. We know what we have we will have plenty of scrimmage time to get in sync. Let’s go into KC with everyone or mostly everyone healthy.

and yes our depth looks good and definitely good enough to get 3 1/2 points

Felton AND Johnson are making this team. And I didn’t think it was ever in doubt.

Ya know, I truly dislike the harsh shade of orange Haslem chose for our helmets. Why did he have to touch the Helmet?

Gotta be encouraged with backups on defense. Shut down Jacksonville’s starters for the most part

Fine read LeCounte... work on that finish

gumby73

..backup QB's best friend..great hands Felton ?

SdBacker80

Felton is going to be a 3rd down stud

Kyle Lauletta was sitting behind Davis Webb at giants... Oh Really! TD BROWNS! Highpoint Davion Davis

And he looked terrible then...much different tonight

Still waiting to see Felton used from the backfield like Dion Lewis.

Orion

Very, very nice TD catch by #18 Davis!!

My only problem with the first half was the Huey flashback I got when they went for the TD rather than kicking the FG to go up by 9.

Do yourself a favor and evaluate individual players. Preseason is sooooooo vanilla. How many times has a team gone undefeated in the preseason to go on and lose most of their games? I guess I’m being a buzzkill but that’s how I view all the Steeler preseason games.

To point this out because I mentioned it early the start of last year - Woods with some different front in our "base" looks with our upgraded personnel.

Hitting it with some blended gap looks in that 4 man under front ala what he did in Denver. Looking forward to breaking those down.

Tommy Togai put on some weight. No way is he 295.

Joe Jackson might make this team over Curtis Weaver.

JOK doing 3rd down business ?

TexasAg1969

Kelly dancing around too much. Make a decision and go.

3rd team OL... RG Gossett nor LT Alex Taylor look good in pass pro.. Hudson did play well at LT..1 false start

TexasAg1969

I have to say that despite all the hype that the homer announcers are doing, the Browns have played very well with so many starters both sides of the ball just watching the game. JO-K looks like the real speedy LB we were expecting to see shooting gaps.
