2023 Browns Training Camp

They're related eh? Cool.
What color font do we use if a small camp roster whine is posted ? ?
Nothing really post worthy came out of yesterday's walk-thru. Early 10:30 am practice start today
The Good... Starting LB'ers Taki & Walker got on the field with no contact.
The Whine.. (grape)
If Berry knew all 3 shifty/speed WR's Schwartz, Goodwin & Grant can't practice? Why add a late choice WR in Austin Watkins? After drafting his same body clone of Cedric Tillman ? The only roster'd WR speed left to practice is? E.Moore, J. Darden or M. Harley?
edit- The first few days will be relatively light before the Browns practice in full pads for the first time on July 28.

So I'm the dumbass who put in his Google calendar that training camp tickets were open this past Monday at 9a. Turns out it was Saturday.
If anyone has stumbled across an open camp date, preferably for the 7th, holler at your boy. Help me help you get some of the best training camp reporting you'll find online.

Don't worry about it. It's nice that you share your Training Camp observations and insights with us every time you attend. Thanks!
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

We are shopping at ALDIs at this point - you aren’t finding anything too fancy at this point. Having said that we have a promising group of guys that can fill out a 5th/6th WR role and I think from the group we cut there is strong chance someone gets picked up to fill out the end of another teams roster.
Watkins looks pretty good. Uphill battle for him though I don’t see him contributing on special teams in anyway and that’s probably what they will look for in that last spot.

Hey SD, what's new with you ? We're getting some SD weather. we'll with some buckets of humidity added ........ Your "shopping at ALDIs" caught my eye and probably TRUE with the BROWNS as far on field talent too. Now grocery shopping we are in the Boardman shopping mecca by Rt 224 & South Ave. Within about a 3+ mile radius of ALDIs, MARCs, Sam's, a couple dollar stores, Giant Eagle .... and a Wedgwood Pizza to boot.
Wonderful if you like to cook, bake or cookout ..... which go great with sports.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

As training camp began (we’ve got you covered with Day 1 and Day 2 notes), there is still questions about what Cleveland’s interior defensive line will look like. DT Dalvin Tomlinson looks to be playing 3-technique but the lack of quality depth is still concerning.
Berry spoke to the media on-site at the Greenbriar and was asked about filling the hole at defensive tackle. Speaking generally about the roster, the Browns GM made it known that the first half of camp was going to be spent assessing the roster:
With the final preseason game just over a month away and Cleveland having four preseason games due to the Hall of Fame Game versus the New York Jets, the “middle of camp” will be around August 12th.
-----------
I'm figuring that they will, at some point, maybe even as late as roster cuts, bring in an interior DLineman. Berry cannot allow what happened to the middle of our run D last year happen again this year.

How are you MJP? Getting the Fall Football cooking menu ready?
I actually like ALDIs we only have a few out here.
I’m Doing well…we’ve had great weather no heat (maybe a week of mid 80s) humidity of course is never bad. Getting ready for some Ohio visitors this coming week…no Wedgewood this time but I normally get some Nodays Pepperoni rolls when family comes out. We are excited for the Track next weekend at Del Mar and some Browns football right around the corner.

Ohio seems to be a hot spot for mom and pop pizza joints. There is a place in Medina called Fat Bob's that has some bomb ass pizza as well.
Oh yes ..... but slowly over time some are going away - and - unfortunately replaced with another franchise pizza.org shop.
And from the (1967 to now) year old Fernando's Wedgewood Pizza our favorite. The House Special with extra mushrooms and extra cheese, ummm-ummm !

Just saying hi to relocated BROWNS fans, (who also like our pizza) I don't think it will go anywhere from there. (Also no childish swearing or gay talk used....unlike others.)
But thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Only thing of worth from day 2 to track, is how long it takes to get Amari Cooper back on the field
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Browns receiver Amari Cooper appeared outside with the rest of his teammates at the start training camp on Sunday, but quickly went inside on Day 2 with what proved to be “a minor tweak” of something, general manager Andrew Berry said after practice.
Berry declined to specify what body part Cooper tweaked, but did say that it’s not related to the core muscle surgery he had in February. Cooper spent some time in the therapy pool inside the Sports Performance building at The Greenbrier.
edit- Got a dollar, Berry makes a move after Friday's pads come on & before the 12th ?

Thanks Gumbs! From what I've heard - they're going to keep things fairly light in the 1st week.
As no surprise, we're probably looking at Tomlinson, Ika, and Elliott as the top 3 DTs. If we lose Tomlinson or Ika to injury this year - we may be looking at kicking Myles Garrett inside for a series here and there (since most of our depth all of a sudden seems like it's on the edges.
Knowing the injury history/wear and tear situation with Conklin - Dawand Jones will get plenty of action at RT. Meanwhile, the is a VERY important year for LT Jed Wills and the passing game. There's a lot hinging on him becoming what he hoped/needed him to. If not, we'll have to assign a TE to his left. I'm the knucklehead that would love to see Dewand Jones lining up to the left of Wills as a TE with more of a blocking purpose. That said, the big feller was supposed to be a big time basketball player in high school catching passes/scoring in traffic. The wing span on a 6'8" target like this might make for a surprisingly good TE option. I'm guessing not many coaches would have asked LB Mike Vrable to line up at TE with Gronk on the other side in red zone/goal line situations; and that turned into quite a few TD receptions for Vrable. Something like that wouldn't suck from Jones aside from NFL experience blocking on 1 edge.
As always, let's see what happens...

I like that Schwartz can evaluate Elliott vs Ika in pads. Who works parked next to Tomlinson? Berry seemed high on Elliott last season (over-evaluated imo) With Winfrey gone. It's Elliott's job to lose to Ika imo. Elliott's talent evaluation needs to stay higher than whats on the DT street.
from most media reads.. Za'Darius Smith kicks inside to DT.. Garrett & Obo to play wide 9 DE's .. stay tuned

I've seen before pads Friday, called the amp up period. Offensive plays are being installed.. The only report on Dawand Jones, was him playing LT2/ w/Hudson playing RT2 on Day 1.. Jones was excused, ill on days 2 & 3.. Hudson vs Jones is the swing tackle camp battle. Bill Callahan knows Right from Left Tackles. I like where he started Jones. LT
Camp day 3 edit- WR depth reps- Coop was out. Schwartz/Grant/Goodwin remained out. David Bell/ Cedric Tillman & Daylen Baldwin saw 1st team reps with DPJ & Elijah Moore. Jaelon Darden & DPJ split kick/punt return duties.

Thanks! To the 1st thing I bolded from you above - I was wondering how far Za'Darius got his weight up to. I don't know how accurate the pre-season Football Preview Magazines are but Athlon's list Myles and Za'Darius at the same height and weight (6'4" 272lbs). My intrigue for kicking Myles inside on occasion (like Houston used to with JJ Watt) is the elite power and explosion he packs. I know Za'Darius has a lot of that too; but my guess is Garrett has the best chance to overwhelm the 300-325lb OGs in this league. Schwartz will have the right guys in the right places so I'm fine with whoever he feels comfortable with. The BIGGER hope is we have a DT rotation where there's little to no drop-off with the guys that earned their roles so we can keep all our effective edge rushers outside where they prefer to be. I'm kind of excited at how many edge rushers the Browns added this year; because it gives us the flexibility if depth gets depleted anywhere on the DL. I'm really looking forward to seeing Schwartz orchestrate it all.
To the 2nd bolded part, I really liked what I read from you. Not that it was a huge surprise - it just rewards Hudson for all his efforts to improve each year as challenging as it might be to win that battle. I'll close my jibberish with a couple old sayings. It's not the size of the dawg in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dawg. If you fail to prepare - then prepare to fail.

Hope and pray for good health, more than anything.
Still of the belief Togiai gets a longer look than Elliot. He was bordering on ineffective before the weight gain, after said gain he was a liability. So he's lost marginal explosiveness and combined it with no improvement in functional strength or technique.
Tommy at least, given his power and natural lower pad level from height, can hold his own against gap and down power teams. This is the reason why he saw high marks against squads like the Ravens, but was given an F- against zone teams like ATL.
Still banking on Mo or Hill showing their improved physique and better health. Either would be a upgrade.

Can't give those same thoughts if I don't get tickets though bubs. We'll see, I'm not about to satisfy the scalpers on Ebay by paying for something designed to be free.

This was a suggestion I made last year (kicking Myles inside on some downs) it wasn’t met as pleasantly as I thought it would be met. But We saw this more in prior years and I believe we had success deploying it for some of the reasons you stated. I don’t think or know if Zadarius offers the same flexibility…there was talk that he faded down the stretch too and I think his game from what I’ve seen bodes well on the outside. Tomlinson offers flexibility (not as a DE). My hope is maybe McGuire flashes, everyone else including Okoronkwo should be situational and on a pitch count.
to move back a level…I wasn’t thrilled about our LB situation last year - we are putting our eggs in Anthony Walker will play 15-17 games basket and I hope for our sake that plays out. We were thin their last year we are thin again. -
