    Both announcers are doing a nice job. Much more enjoyable than listening to the Jags guys last week. Joe is great fun

    Very likely bites the Browns in the ass come week 1. They have to be the only team not giving starters any time.

    Not really. The reason they are not playing starters is they practiced them against the Eagles 1s during the week. No need to do even more when they need to make cuts soon. Got to know who you want to retain on the 53.

    that's 55 yards, that hits more than half up the pipe... good lord..

    Eagles go bombs away for TD...  Philly back up 21-20.. I've lost game feed.. bad storms..I'm out to view on NFL plus

  • Why are the Browns not playing starters at all in this? Seriously odd choice. Those dudes need reps.

    Weather + fresh field.  If there was ever a way to have an ACL, that would be it.

    Fair enough. I agree.

    The scrimmages this week are essentially the fourth game 

    And I personally think 17 games is really pushing it.  I'd rather have 16 or even 14 but the owners would never buy that.

    umm...it's gonna be 18 games in the near future.  They ain't ever reducing the # of games.  Perhaps it'll go down to 2 preseason games?  If so, I'll predict each game comes with a preparation week with the opponent.  

    What I remember right now:

    Harley Davidson almost got hit in the foot with a punt bounce.  If ya think ya might have trouble fielding the punt, then get out of the way and tell everyone else the same.  Man we're hurting in the punt return game.  And it's not like our D could get them any game practice at it.

    Every preseason I feel bad for John Kelly Jr.  That guy plays hard, and is pretty decent...but he's got like, NO HOPE of making this team.  I hope some team pays attention to his tape this year.

    Yorky seems pretty good.  But after York's Doink we gave up the 55 yard game winning TD. 🙁   I still like JaMarcus Bradley, but he only had 2 catches on 5 targets.  Fields showed up on camera a bunch ( 1 tackle, 5 assists).  Alex Wright did a good job (4 tackles, 1 assist).  Rumor has it that Wright had a good week of practice against the Eagles.

    Josh Rosen didn't show much...but he's stuck with the umteen stringers.  I'm going to have to assume that he's to be cut and we go with Brisket and Dobbs.

    Miller, the CB, dropped a TD.  It was an EASY, easy catch and run.  There's no excuse for an NFL DB to drop a ball thrown to him like that.

    Joe Thomas in the Booth:  He's quite knowledgeable.  He's getting better at it.  I do like him.  I hope he continues to hone that craft.

    I’m cosigning this approach. Don’t really want to see another starter go down 

    They have the entire coaching staff in tact for the third straight year.  That’s a luxury and now advantage these days.  We aren’t learning a new scheme and rolling out a host of new starters.

    Having said all this id like to see jacoby play a couple series 

    Im done with Schwartz.  Guy gets arm tackled on a end around, dropped a pass and missed a block on run.

    The Schwartz drops passes from Baker, DW, Dobbs…doesn’t matter.

    He’s an equal opportunity pass dropper, like Braylon Edwards, and Chris Colwman.

    You can’t teach someone to stop dropping balls, time to cut his ass.

    Schwartz today, 3 targets, 2 receptions, 20 yards.

    Him and Rosen are two of the most Dufassy lookin' guys in their helmets...

    Let’s not forget about the 4 yards rushing.

    I still think Dobbs might be the real deal. I hope he plays a lot in game 3 of preseason as well. But of course I'm not there watching them practice every day either, so I'm at a disadvantage for selecting the 11 game starter for the Browns.

    Very, very smart. Rhodes scholar. He's fine as a back up but he's not leading a team to the promised land. He's like having an extra coach.

    He's better than Rudolph. The Steelers should have dumped Rudolph instead.

    From my sideline view... Dobbs looked VERY good, but it's preseason. Schwartz is #1 on my most likely to be cut list.  Fast as lightning, hands of stone.

    Browns second string defense was a sieve.

    Thankfully, the rain stopped on the walk to the stadium.

    But at least we can trust Bradley to catch a dang ?... Berry needs to quit coddling his picks & sign WR/PR Will Fuller.. like ToDay..

    Schwartz only camp comp battle was with David Bell.. (who missed most of it) Harley Davidson saw most of Bell's camp reps.. imo ,Berry won't have the nutz to cut Schwartz..

    Coop/DPJ/Fuller?/Bell/Schwartz gives Bissette/Dobbs at least a chance on passing downs, if ball is placed in *WR's area code (*Goodbye Josh Rosen)

    I hear ya Gumbs!  If Berry is waiting for Schwartz to just get coached up - good luck with that!  This guy runs himself into coverage far more than he knows how to sit on a route in space.  There's absolutely no feel for the game in this guy.  Even worse, he can't catch.  I remembered hearing the Browns were just going to coach up Quincy Morgan, Michael Jackson, and Greg Little.  It sure felt like those guys were serial drive killers.  The problem with wasting too much time on guys like that when we had a guy like Keenan McCardell on our roster getting very few chances here - is/was the Browns gave up on the better player WITH upside sticking with the bad idea.  If square pegging round holes was the right thing to do, the Browns would have way more than 2 playoff appearance since 1999.

    I'm guessing the reasons nobody signed Fuller yet are he's never healthy and he tested positive for PEDs within the last year or so.  Maybe injuries around the league will make him more attractive to teams in need.  I'd rather stay away from guys like him and DeSean Jackson and try to see what we have in a guy like Felton in the slot/flanked out or in motion.

    Those are my main takeaways as well. Dobbs looked like he should be in the conversation to start. Defensive back-ups are underwhelming to say the least. You cannot give up yards against the run like that. Browns would do well to invest draft picks to get more defensive depth, and maybe sign some veterans.

    It's like drafting a QB that can't complete passes thinking "BEAUTIFUL -all we gotta do is coach this guy up"!   Wonderful!  Welcome to Cleveland Spergon Wynn (the guy had a 47% completion rate 1 year in college).
