  • Yeah, Hickman grabbed the back of his leg at one point while he was hopelessly chasing the receiver that he never had covered.  

    Our D looked pretty bad.  Our OL wasn't giving much room to run.  

    I wanted to see Aiden Robbins and Matt Landers...unfortunately they only got in at the very end.  Robbins got the TD...good for him.  He also had a nice play when he chip blocked on the edge and got out for a pass, catch and run to almost get the 1st down.  And Landers caught a pass on that drive.  Thrash caught the ball well when he got in.   And that little guy, Brown, he caught the ball well.   I would've like to see that Welch TE guy.  I don't think I saw anything from him.

    Ford & Strong were unimpressive in the backfield...but blocking wasn't great.  John Kelly got more reps than he should at this point.  I mean, he's not going to make the team.  He never does.  And fumbling the ball away isn't going to help him much.  (Still though, I like that poor guy)  🙂 

    DTR wound up with good numbers.  And he did that for most of last preseason.  Then we saw during the season, against starting NFL defense players, a totally different DTR.  So.....

    All and all, it wasn't a very good showing for the guys in the day-glo orange helmets.

    I get its preseason but having a Coach whose in what?.. His 4th season now?... I expect better from an experienced coach who is still having game day management issues with his team. The team also looked abysmal.. Having said that... It's not time to panic, but.... I hope for improvement... But this tough ass schedule doesn't look promising...

  • Sparce crowd in the stands..... even for PRE 1.

    ah hell it is still summertime. when does school start out there ? i  am sure families are still camping, Hiking, spending time on the lake. or just having a grill going on in the backyard with the game on in the background.

  • I don't put much stock in preseason games. They mostly are to slim the team down to 53 by opening game time. The marginal guys get a lot of playing time.

    Tough azz schedule  ....  agreed !    

    A lot of the tough part is from the  AL Central too.   One week at a time guys !

    I'm glad you mentioned Stef!  He started off calling the plays....then, later on, I noticed that he didn't have his play card.  I'm pretty sure that Dorsey called the plays for a significant part of the game...although the cameras really didn't show Dorsey after quite early in the game.  When they DID show Dorsey (early on) he wasn't standing anywhere near Stef but he did have a play card.  Both of them had a play card at that time.

    When Adidi talked to Emerson on the sideline during the game he mentioned that they need to work on communication...so apparently there's some communication issues the DB's are working through at the moment.   And when she talked to Dewand he said that Andy, the new OL coach, uses much the same terminology that Callahan used so the transition away from Callahan isn't an abrupt change or anything....which is cool.

    Our marginal guys aren't as good as the Packers' marginals. 🙂 

  • My main positive was DTR  and Huntley looked good. The WRs played decent, no drops. 

    Just excited to see the Browns again. I didn't go, gave my preseason tickets to charity.

  • Apparently there are Steelers fans calling for their Offensive Coordinator to get fired...

    after one preseason game. 

    Does nickers have relatives in Western Pennsylvania? ?

  • I don't know about you guys, but I'd much rather have a coach like Hue Jackson. A proven pre-season winner.

    Yeah, that Lions team did the same thing! ?

    At the end of the day, yes it is a preseason game. 

    But you would hope it would look a little more organized. Plenty of stuff for them to work on this coming week. 

  • how many starters were in ? 4 -5 ?

  • Brown the WR from South Carolina looked well also.

    4 Browns standouts who made a case for the 53-man roster vs

    i just put up a article about who we could sign, in the offensive line thread

  • I watched bits and pieces as l could with the means l had yesterday. I always get excited for the first preseason game, even if it’s consistently lackluster and sometimes disappointing.

    I wasn’t disappointed. The game happened. It was mostly disappointing but FUCkIN’ BROWNS FOOTBALL BABY HELL YES!!!
