    His orientation day should be four hours with Phil and let Phil deliver his dissertation on wind patterns and stadium flag analysis. 

  • He and Swartzy shoulda been gone after last season ended. Better late than never for both.

    Curve to the right around Ventrone then hook back 

    Nothing but net

  • Don’t we have the technology to clone Phil Dawson? Surely this ownership group had the foresight to clone Phil Dawson. We just gotta buy time for Phil 2.0 to be ready.

    Bad decision to cut him. The Browns just can't bring players along. Should have harnessed Mayfield, getting rid of York and replace him with what? Another unknown.

    You can look up Dustin Hopkins'stats yourself. 18 out of 20 last season gives a hell of a lot more confidence than Cade.

    And the less said about the trainwreck that is Mayfield, the better.

    Do you realize that you're talking about a kicker?

    I for one was tired of seeing even many of his "made" attempts look like Hoyt Wilhelm was kicking.?⚾

  • When the ball looks better off the foot of a safety (Justin Reid) just playing kicker for the preseason…it was time to go.

  • Report: Browns want Cade York back on practice squad if he clears waivers

    https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2023/08/29/browns-cade-york-practice-squad-possible/

    After trading for veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins a day ago, the Cleveland Browns made the subsequent move of cutting second-year and former fourth round pick Cade York. Struggling through the preseason with the Browns, including whiffing on go-ahead field goals late in games in back-to-back weeks, the Browns had no choice but to make the move.

    The door to a reunion, however, has not been completely shut as The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook has reported that the Browns “would love to have York back on the practice squad.” York, of course, would have to clear waivers first as a player with less than four years of NFL experience.

    At the point of going unclaimed on waivers, however, York would then have his choice of which practice squad he could sign with. And with how his time in Cleveland went and ended, there is reason to believe he would likely take his chances on a clean slate and fresh start elsewhere.

  • At least they did the smart move and got rid of York before he cost us games. It had to be done.

    I don't spend a lot of time here, but when I do, I always appreciate your elite level of trolling. 

  • Many around these parts wanted DHop on the roster.. and you got him!

    That's what I would do.  If anywhere else would take me, that's where I'd go.  There's no trust in him here.

  • and Then there were 3..

    Which Kickers Were on the Move?

    On Monday, the Chargers traded kicker Dustin Hopkins to the Browns for a 2025 7th round pick. Kicker-palooza begins 

    The Patriots dealt kicker Nick Folk to the Titans for a 2025 seventh-round pick. Folk, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2007, has been with New England since 2019. The Titans will be the fifth team Folk has played for. He made 32 of 37 field goals for the Patriots in 2022, including a perfect 18 for 18 inside 40 yards. (we traded w/Pats. for RB3)

    The Broncos acquired kicker Wil Lutz from the Saints for a 2024 seventh-round pick. Lutz reunites in Denver with his former Saints head coach, Sean Payton. He missed a career-high nine field goals in 2022 after missing the entire 2021 season because of a core muscle injury.

    Payton is hoping Lutz is able to regain his success from his first four seasons when he made 87.5% of his field goals. Lutz’s career long is 60 yards.

    He has a strong leg so I hope he sticks around on the practice squad and fights his way back.

    Can we make Dawson a offer?

    I think he's on the Titans PS.

    I agree and in the  that is what he did do.  It was the only decision.

    I would have wanted him to stay.  He is going to be a good kicker in the league but we are at the point we couldn't wait for that to happen.

    The fan based had turned on him which added to the pressure.  He just needed to start with a clean slate.

    I see we added a kicker to our practice squad.  Hopkins is our kicker for now, but we have someone ready to call up.  Maybe we even go with 2 active kickers at some point.  Hopkins isn't all that good outside 40 yards.  We might want that long rage kicker in some situations.   

    I'd rather take my chances on a 55 yard FG over a hail mary with 2 seconds remaining.
