There's no need to be trying to set world records here.  No gettin' hurt!!

Off season workouts that delicate balance between getting as strong as you can/need to be and getting ready to put the uniform on.

I'll assume Chubb knows what his limits are preparing for that brutal NFL 17 game season.   

---------------

.....oh I wish they'd cut it back to 14 or 15 games.  But no way on that with the money-maker 17 games AND the owners want 18 games screw the players and their bodies.  Even the linemen get beat to death as iis,  I can't imagine going through that ordeal before  the playoffs.   Oh well.....

That stinks, definitely want to see him get as many reps as possible. 

I have some concern about how long it is going to take for the offense to get clicking on all cylinders. Some new faces, some questions obviously about availability.

The offense, of course is the big question mark because two of the three most concerning position groups are on that side of the ball.  QB & WR.  Fortunately, Chubb can squat 600 lbs.  He may have to be a lot of the offense.  Until we can wade through the QB situation, the D is going to have to play quite well.

Gumpy's top Pre Camp Gripes// excluding QB

1.)  Center: The battle is between Nick Harris and Ethan Pocic..  iron sharpens iron right?

2. Defensive tackle: Both starting defensive tackle jobs are up for grabs.. let's not hand out a center position?

3. Slot CB: Greg Newsome II was not drafted to play slot CB.. he is now... Greedy/AJ Green/Emerson Jr who's CB3/4?

4. Slot WR.. Jakeem Grant or Anthony Schwartz will now try on the Landry slot cleats, while David Bell may not see Brissett QB reps? Is Wims or Weston the sleeper? 

5. MIKE LB.. My hopes? Jacob Phillips..or does the role belong to Anthony Walker Jr. Joe Woods?

6. I'd also expect RT Jack Conklin to go to the PUP list ..Can Jedrick Wills & Chris Hubbard get around the padded camp injury land-mines? ?

[Dutch Oven]

Am I remembering this wrong, or were the Browns supposedly interested in drafting WR John Metchie, from Alabama in last year's draft?

Well, he was just diagnosed with leukemia.

Browns QB's & Rookies will be joined by the remaining roster on Tuesday the 26th...

Might expect some possible Tuesday news, while Browns Training Camp physicals will be taking place on Tuesday also.. 

On field Camp drills will begin on Wednesday the 27th..

we have made it to Browns football season ?

...and another 'interesting' ?  offseason is being carved into the books.  

Reality!  Stranger than fiction!  Picture yourself at last Thanksgiving dinner....and someone says, "I bet that next training camp Baker will be competing with Sam Darnold in Carolina and we'll have Josh Rosen.....pass the mashed potatoes please."    

[gumby73]

#Browns placed RT Jack Conklin (knee), CB Denzel Ward (foot) on PUP list.. They join rookie receiver David Bell, who may have suffered a stress fracture in his foot, and is expected back on the field in a couple of weeks.

LB Anthony Walker Jr. (groin) and DT Sheldon Day (back) are on non-football injury list..

WR Javon Wims on non-football illness list..

Look at that bar bend !   Big squats for a power RB.

I'm guessing his spinal discs will have something to say about this a little later in life.

The Browns announced that A.Schwartz will be further evaluated, which likely means an MRI or other imaging tests.

friday edit--Schwartz day to day/ labelled as left Knee Strain... Grant/Felton/Woods seeing Bell/Schwartz injured camp reps..

fuller ?

[Orion]

The Cleveland Browns have claimed S Jovante Moffatt via waivers from the New York Jets.

Moffatt (5-11, 213) is officially in his third season out of Middle Tennessee State. He spent the past two seasons with the Browns after signing with the club as an undrafted free agent in 2020. Over the course of his career, he has played in 14 games and registered 10 tackles. He appeared in five games with the Browns in 2021 and spent most of the season on the club's practice squad. Moffatt is a native of Union City, Tenn.

I don't see why not.  Schwartz is always hurt.  And after Cooper we don't have anyone that scares anyone at WR.  What if Cooper were to get hurt?  God forbid.

WR Will Fuller V

It just seems odd, that a 28 year old, former 1st round WR, can't get a visit to a teams training camp.. here's my inside look, from outside..

1.)shows a lot of injury risk in history..https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/will-fuller/7478

2.) Suspended for PED use.. maybe trying to recover from said injury risk's

3.) Signed a one year/ 10 million dollar contract in Miami ?...than, Screams of reads.. of ending up in HC Brian Flores doghouse ?, by only playing in 2 games, suffering from a simple broken finger in week 4 of 2021...

From BR...

Will Fuller V is a significant health risk. The 28-year-old receiver has a laundry list of injuries throughout his career and had as many ailments in 2021 as he did catches (four).

Still, when Fuller is healthy, he's a dangerous deep threat capable of taking the top off of a defense.

The last time he was healthy he posted a career-high 11.7 yards per target and a stat line of 53 catches for 879 yards and eight touchdowns in 2020. Then again, he still only played in 11 games as he dealt with hamstring and groin injuries.

Last season, a broken finger ended Fuller's season. So it isn't like all of the injuries have been the kind that will linger into the next year.

At this point, Fuller is worth the risk. He would be a great addition for any team that is thin on receiver or in need of a burner. Even if he misses a handful of games in 2022 he could help a team come playoff time.

Best Fits: Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts

What could AB be thinking ? ?

a.) Well... I just paid a 29 year old, WR/ST Jakeem Grant for 3 years/ for 10M dollars..(3.33M/year) from Fuller's same draft class

b.) I Stole a WR1 in Amari Cooper from dallas...

Likes DPJ as his WR2... 

c.) Drafted D.Felton.. who? ("never has a single bitch on where he plays"/ his HC/ says he's always comes prepared knowing both positional playbooks)  

d.) Has J.Bradley...Schwartz/Wims/and a (Stef well liked) drafted rookie in David Bell coming back from injuries soon.. along with a drafted Woods (bigger than a thought) and 3 UDFA's..

In ending? 

1) How much money is Will Fuller's agent asking for this time?

2) Is Fuller's injury history & asking contract worth? bumping DPJ's down again to a WR3?

I'm just a bored fan, passing on adding Will Fuller at this point..  I've moved on to adding this right/side OL stud...

 Bills T/G Daryl Williams

At this stage of the game durability, consistency and versatility are in-demand traits when it comes to offensive linemen.

That's why Daryl Williams comes in as one of the top-ranked free agent linemen available.

Williams is not a dominant blocker. He's never been a Pro Bowler or All-Pro selection. However, if he's the weak link in the offensive line, it's a good unit.

The 29-year-old has played in every possible game in each of the last three seasons so durability isn't an issue. Within those games, he has been serviceable as both a tackle and guard, offering the kind of positional versatility that can be huge up front.

Williams was at his best in 2020 when he only gave up three sacks and was graded out at 79.4 by PFF.

That would be an upgrade for several teams at right tackle. Even if he can't usurp the starter at that position he offers a strong option at guard as well. Anyone with uncertainty on the right side of the line should look into Williams.

Best Fits: Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans

can we trust Conklin/Wills or Hubbard to remain upright all season?

The 1st Fan Day at Browns Training Camp at 2PM today... Man! don't you wish were there ! ! ?  

Now...Back to our players that are... ? #LFG

GO BROWNS !

[gumby73]

Glad I didn't see this coming ?..

Bravo Cynthia !  ya see, there is good looking women from Michigan  ?

Hey! Do they make them their Guardian Caps in a full orange knee brace? ?

Well liked, UDFA WR Isaiah Weston, became the 4th Browns WR to go out before the pads come on Tuesday... Pending image testing again..

WR Isaiah Weston carted off with knee injury

 

 

Another day, another receiver injury for the Browns. Undrafted rookie Isaiah Weston out of Northern Iowa was carted off midway through practice with a knee injury that appears to be serious.

 

 

Weston had his head in his hand on the cart with a distressed look on his face. He underwent imaging tests after practice and was awaiting results. Early word was that they were hoping it was a meniscus injury and not a torn ACL, which would cost him the season, a source told cleveland.com. Weston (6-foot-4, 214 pounds) was having a nice camp and getting extra reps with other receivers injured.

 

 

Let's try Jake Trotter for a change of luck ?? and his day 4 camp pencil ️

Jake Trotter

 

 

Breaking down #Browns training camp Day 4:

Monday can't come soon enough.. ?  

Any fan volunteers that think they can still play WR ? Ya may want to Come in the gates early !

Ya get 90 camp bullets AB... 

I'm taking Sunday off too ! 

Oh ! and this might come into play later ?   

- Practice squad protection is no longer in play.. Last year you could protect a player from Tuesday to the end of the week, but the NFL didn't keep this

- You can steal a player from another team's practice squad at any point throughout the season by adding them to your 53-man roster...

them's the 2022 NFL rules.. 

[mjp28]

Tough break for Weston you hate to see someone's dreams take a hit like that.   

[gumby73]

Good off Day find..

Many of us members, like myself, live states away from Cleveland,Ohio...

Chris Porkey at Dawgs by Natures, always does a good job of video tour taping at Browns Training Camp.. Chris got in Saturday's, day 4 opening day with fans.. This season has some new renovations..

Chose to start this at 29 mins of his Bus & Bike tour arriving at the facility.. At 42 mins. your at the walk-up gate..

Enjoy & Thanks Chris !  WooF !

[Unsympathetic]

Teven Jenkins is available for trade - and not currently at Bears camp.  Rd2 pick last year and arguably the most talented OT in 2021 draft.. and one of the most immature. I'd throw a 2023 5th their way to take him off their hands.. see if Callahan plus the veterans can make him into something serviceable -- or if Wills doesn't pan out, a long-term LT.  And they're very aware a rd5 is basically the best they'll get.
