The Official Browns vs Panthers Game 3 Thread
-
This defense is special.
We are a bit short on CB depth as replacing Tyson Campbell is causing some issues.
But damn is in nice to see Mason Graham dominating the interior.
We have no shortage of D Lineman. Jared Verse is at least driving back the LT and essentially blowing up the pocket for Graham to finish the play off. Sometimes the small athletic QBs are able to escape, unfortunately.
Watson needs to clean up some reads, he canβt be missing KC on speed outs. It would be nice to get Jeudy the ball. At least he is protecting the football. 1 turnover in 3 games.
These issues will iron out with more reps.

nickers and CLEPlayoffs speak to a few things I've mentioned before:
Despite the Browns using three draft picks on OLinemen in the last draft, I want them to keep drafting more. Not sure what the Browns think of Barber's future, but another tackle and an interior OLinemen would be nice in Rounds 2-4.
Cornerback should be a high priority in the coming off-season via free agency and the draft. We are very thin and Ward can't play forever. He's in his ninth NFL season. (Wow, time flies, doesn't it?)
CLEPlayoffs says that we have a deep DLine room, I'm not sure I totally agree with that. I would love for the Browns to take a pass rushing DE high next draft to pair up with Verse. IMO Verse is a great complementary player, but not a bonafide stud pass rusher. He's a very good well-rounded edge player, but would be even better paired with a better pass rusher. A DTackle to pair with Graham would be great too.
Watson has not been a superstar in the last two games, but he's been competent. Right now, I'll take a competent starting QB - a guy who gives the Browns a legit chance to win most games. I'm shocked I can even write this at this point.
So I was in an Airbnb this weekend with friends from PA and got to watch maybe the first 15 minutes of the game before NFL Ticket booted the game off air. I was not a happy camper. I don't know the INS and outs of yesterday's game. Sounds like Watson didn't get the rough reception that we thought he would have yesterday after Week 1.
How did the running game look yesterday? On paper it looked like Judkins was productive.

after shedeur left after one play they did pan to the endzone where a bunch of brain dead so called fans started to boo, I swear #4 had his ups and downs and the 3rd quarter was a bit rough to watch but #4 shined when it mattered most , in the 4th with a game winning drive
side note baker is out 2-4 weeks LOL

It's amazing how much the Mike Evans dynamic has meant to Johnny Manziel, Baker Mayfield and now Brock Purdy. There's no denying that opposing defenses accounting for Mike Evans has created easier matchups for his WR teammates. This dates back to Ryan Swope catching 72 passes fo 913 yards and 8 TDs at Texas A&M in 2012 while Redshirt Freshman Mike Evans added 82 receptions for 1105 yards and 5 TDs. Significance? Johnny Manziel easily wins the Heisman in 2012.
As much as I liked Baker Mayfield's rookie and 3rd season - most of his best NFL seasons were in Tampa from 2023-2025 per cut and paste:


Here's what Mike Evans did during those years:

This year, Brock Purdy is lighting it up while @dutch-oven was kind enough to share a quick pov about lost hocus pocus from Baker in 2026 during a brief break from testosterone stories with the fellers from PA. It goes without saying he's already taught them how to drink like men...

Mike Evans should be in the Hall of Fame in Canton TODAY with what he's done to propel mediocre QBs into looking like world-beaters.

It's gonna take awhile for Judkins to get his wheels properly aligned again... I had a complete lower leg rebuild back in 09. Both fibula and tibia broke and I shattered my ankle. It took me 2 years just to feel right... With him.. It may happen faster because he's young, strong and they say structurally sound.. My only concern is I notice him dancing around back there a bit... Maybe that's just being unfamiliar with the O line or the O line still finding it's groove... I'd say it's a combo of both.. But you gotta think.. At some point the light has to turn on... Hopefully sooner than later. Secondly... I would also like the Browns to keep pecking at the LB'er posish as well.. I love what we have... But what we have can be fortified.

Purdy is far from mediocre.
IDL will need long term evaluation.
DPR is absolutely a consideration
Agreed on CB & Watson
RT Will also be a high need

Basically, we couldn't run the ball. I know the paperwork looks like we could...but we couldn't. At the end of the game we needed one yard to take knees. On 3rd & 4th down we couldn't get the yard. And I mean it looked BAD. I mean it looked like there was NO WAY the ball carrier was gonna get the yard.
Against the worst run D in the league we couldn't count on our run game for crap. Judkins wound up with 70 yards, but it looked more like 30.

5 oline penalties in 1 quarter and 3 minutes.
10 penalties in the first half. HORRIBLE. Also, why did they call TO after the sack? They had to run the kicking team out and get the play off with no TO. That was dumb
Watson has missed WIDE OPEN receivers all day.
Browns DBβs having a bad day.
Defense just gave uP on that drive. That was PATHETIC
do the words fuck off mean anything to you ? or is it jack off as it seems you do not get any action as much as you bitch
@syd do you kiss your sister with that mouth?
