The Official Preseason Browns vs Rams Game Thread

I would guess Hopkins gets the nod to start the season, but the leash will be short.
I'll take the counterpoint. I think Hopkins gets the boot....or gets an encounter with the Grim Turk.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
Hawaii 5’9… that’s pretty good, lol
Maybe Hawaii 509 is better.

I would rather go with the young guy. Hopkins is having the same problem he had with his last team.

Hopkins Cinderella season is the only reason for fan support still. I wanted the guy to be the next Dawson but he’s still consistently missing PATs. We can’t keep him anymore.

Gabriel reminds me of Colt Mccoy, but in a better offense. Stefanski hasn't asked him to push the ball downfield much, but he hasn't needed to.

All true. The good thing is he seems pretty accurate in tight spaces for the most part. When teams game plan for him, he may be a little more susceptible to rookie mistakes. All in all, none of our QBs or RBs want to play behind that last line we had out there. Lotta learning ahead; but fixing mistakes on the fly sure gets expedited with a good line up front.

He might. That said, he was on fire before that puzzling Flugel pulls every last hair out of his head move watch his decision "hey I think I can catch this KR." After that, he's never been the same. He isn't looking bad this year; but that's a hefty contract. Being from Upstate NY - Syracuse was always my 2nd favorite team. To give you an idea how good they were - my favorite team (Ohio State) was televised at least twice as much. See what happens when ya win?
Former Groza Award winner as the nation's best kicker in college football as a true freshman at Syracuse sure made Andre Szmydt an interesting signing here. Syracuse plays in a dome - Cleveland does not. The other Groza Award winner Arizona (Zane Gonzalez) Kicked in a warm & dry climate - Cleveland kickers kick in a Great Lake climate that ain't dry that includes cold temperatures and swirling winds off the lake. The here and now - he drilled the game winning kick right down the middle. I wouldn't mind it if he could upgrade the accuracy and reliability especially when it all comes down to FG in the closing seconds...

I haven't paid attention to his kicking in camp. Has he displayed inaccuracy? I know that Hopkins has.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Good question. I don't really find much info on how the kickers are doing; but that might be because I'm not looking for it.
While we're at it - our Punter Corey Bojorquez looked good. When this guy stays healthy - he's a very good punter.

Hopkins is on thin ice IMHO. He missed 6 FGs & 3 XPs last year, has missed 2 XPs in preseason.
He was very good in 2023 & they extended his contract. I don't know what happened to his psych, but it's not good

Low man wins. How did this guy not get drafted? I know it’s one game but goodness…

According the back of my envelope: But boy when Hopkins missed that XP against the Rams, he missed it by a mile. Looked like one of my pull-hooks off the tee.
Hopkins PAT = 4 of 6 FG = 3 for 3, 23, 28, 46
Szmyt PAT = 1 of 1 FG = 3 for 3, 33, 37, 49

I knew Hopkins missed some PAT's. I wasn't sure about Szmyt.

I don't see how anyone can have any faith in him. If I had been running TC I'd have had 2 kickers in camp but neither would've been Hopkins. And I'd keep shuffling them in and out until I found one that could kick it straight.

With us signing Hopkins to a guaranteed contract, having him in camp was a given.
