  • The Browns added some guys to the PS squad...including 2 Tackles.  Also, glad to see Larvadian back.  I'd like to see him elevated to the 53 and play some WR for us.  somebody's gotta get open.

    Roster Additions

    • OT Joshua Miles
    • OT Tyre Phillips
    • WR Gage Larvadain
    • CB Tre Avery

    For me.. The difference between Gabriel and Sanders is glaring! Gabriel is more rhythmic... Crisp sharp passer... Better footwork.. Has a nice compact motion.. And another thing I noticed even through preseason... Gabriel always has his head into the game and is always by Flacco's side where Sanders seems to be on his own island.. Sanders just looks like a total project to me.. There's nothing about him that screams NFL QB to me.. He looks incredibly slow...

    You could be right, time will tell. 

    Gabriel has upside, I want to be wrong about his size holding him back. 

    Sanders, well this has got to be humbling for him. He still resides on an NFL roster, so he still has a chance to show what he's got. It's clear he has to earn playing time.

    Why did everyone laugh at me when I said I want to be an NFL QB dad?   

    Not sure son; but UCF is here wanting to give you a full ride to play QB for them next year.  Let's go welcome them to Fantasy Island!

    Agree on Lavardain, give him a chance for sure. I'll have to look into the OTs, see how old are they, etc.

    That or he found a better audible than "OMAHA - OMAHA"

    Could you imagine if we saw our young height challenged QB, coincidentally with a lot of Tattoos, changing a play at the line of scrimmage with "DA PLANE - DA PLANE"???

    That might be the only way to mess with Micah Parsons.  The problem is - he isn't old enough to remember that Friday Night show with Tattoo back in the day. 

    In 1976, there were NO solutions for Jack Lambert. Having said that, the first time my dad drove us 4 hours away from Fairport, NY to see Cleveland play - Brian Sipe was unable to suit up.  There was a little known back-up named David Mays who I think was also a Dentist (believe it or not).  Anyway, one never knows what happens on the bottom of a pile in the NFL. This is ONLY a coincidence but it's pretty fricken funny that around the same time or very shortly thereafter - Lambert was missing his 2 front teeth.  BTW, the Browns won that game most remembered for Turkey Jones showing Pittsburgh he remembered Lambert's cheap shot out of bounds on Brian Sipe (just a few weeks earlier) by slamming Terry Bradshaw to the turf.  Karma never forgets but it kinda remembers 2 wrongs don't make a right. The Browns went on to finish 9-5 that year under Forrest Gregg; but they still didn't make the playoffs. I'm starting to think a younger version Roger Goodell had his heart broken that day; because he can't wait to punish the Browns any chance he gets 4-5 decades later...

    Pete Rozelle is still the best commish the league ever had.. Paul Tagliabue barely had a pulse and was instrumental in helping Art leave town.. Goodell has done his level best to sissify and emasculate the game anyway he can.. The Woke agenda he has pushed makes it hard for the hardcore fan to enjoy real honest to god smash mouth football.. Which is what the Browns,Steelers, Bears , Packers and Giants were noted for.... Those teams in my mind really revolutionized and personified what real football was to me.. Today the game is barely recognizable with pint sized QB's running all over the place.. WR Diva's acting like petulant children.. And reminders of racism and race baiting slogans everywhere and confused male cheerleaders shaking their effeminate asses on the sidelines... Anyway... I thought you might get a kick out of these snaps my sister found when I played DE in little league ball back in 73.. Interestingly enough.. I had Lester Haynes number 37..

    You look ready to show any and all youth football opponents what it's like to deal with Ted Hendricks all day.

    Agreed; but the NFL is still reviewing the incident to determine if any punishment/suspension is necessary.

    Thanks Man.. I was a big kid for my age... Team mates hated doing Oklahoma and hamburger drills with me... I was a load.. I would just pummel them into submission..  When we played games.. I literally tore down my side of whatever O line I was facing.. For kid who was blind in one eye I more than held my own... My Mentality was "Kill the guy with the ball". But then I found music to be a safer bet..I stopped growing when I was 15 anyway and topped out at 5'8".. And life goes on...

    Yep, whenever I feel sorry for myself for some dumb reason or another, I look at what other siblings are going through with themselves and their family members and realize what a charmed life I have lived and am still living. 78 1/2 when like Charlie Rich sang, "Keep on Rollin' With the Flow". It came out the year I hit 30 after years of motorcycles, skydiving and Vietnam.

    I usually see clips of NCAA Teams doing a controlled version of Oklahoma Drills at the end of the first padded practice, but that's it.

    The drills I never see: Hamburger, Barrel Rolls, Door, Open Field Tackling, the Guantlet (1v1, 1v2, 1v3).

    And in high school, we'd condition until the coaches were tired - timed 100s, hill sprints, bear crawls, up/downs, and something called The Snake - Start on one goal line, sprint the width of the field, bear crawl 5 yards, sprint the width, bear crawl 5 yards, until reaching the opposite goal line.

    A couple generations of sissies were raised... We need to bring those drills back... Less injuries would happen..
