Preseason Game 2
-
Getting to Game 1 in one piece is what we must do, the Dolphins game is a must win (they all are) but that game is sooo important to win and start the season off right.
I cant remember the last opener the Browns won. Does anybody?Getting to Game 1 in one piece is what we must do, the Dolphins game is a must win (they all are) but that game is sooo important to win and start the season off right.

The only one since 'the return" in 1999. Of course they had another one until that stupid don't take your helmet off rule came along to rob us of the win in the KC game. (though, I think that may have been the year the Browns made the playoff anyway>
but, here is what the difference was in that game: The Browns made the playoffs as the #2 wildcard, and had to face the 10-5-1 Steelers in the first round.
Had them won that game, they would have been the first wildcard and would have probably faced the 9-7 Jets (AFC winners) that year.
Of course, the Browns had a huge lead against the Steelers until Butch decided to go into the prevent defense in middle of the 3rd quarter.

The Pinkston and Lewis injuries are devastating, IMO, in what otherwise was a very encouraging preseason game. We're so thin at OG, that's the last place we needed to lose a starter - and Lewis, he adds alot of shiftiness and opens up the playbook with screens/flats that would be of great use for Turners O. He's out for the year I'm assuming, not buying the 6 weeks pitch, he broke his leg..
I disagree about being thin at G. Gilkey, Adams, and Shaw are all capable of playing that position until Lauvao gets healthy. When Gilkey stepped in, the offense didn't miss a beat. With a little coaching, and practice with the 1's he should do just fine. We still have Thomas, Greco, Mack, and Schwartz. It's still a good line.
The injury to Lewis is the worst, but Jackson is a little bigger and not as quick. He has great hands and he and Ogby should be able to step up and do some of the same things Dion has done so far. Let's not forget that Norv said he wants TRich to get 300+ carries this year. He is still the guy to carry the load. Now, we still need a between-the-tackles runner to spell TRich, so we're in the same spot of needing Hardesty to get healthy.
Hopefully Barnidge is okay b/c he is a good blocker, and hopefully Mingo can be back soon...

They may be capable, that doesn't mean they're good. I was down on Pinkston last year, but am sad to see him go down. The sprain looked high with that roll up, fortunately Gilkey did look good. I don't believe Adams or Shaw can come in and maintain the same level of consistency, and there's no proof out there supporting the thought that they would they're unproven. Gilkey's performance was nice to see, though.
Agreed, the Lewis injury is the worst - his game helps spread the field. I've never been a big fan of Jackson or Abbey, just serviceable - Lewis had spark.
If there's one silver lining to both Hardesty and Lewis going down, it's that at least we might get a chance to see what Maysonet can do. I'm not sure why, but I'm excited about this guy's potential.
I like the enthusiasm, but I can't say I'm overly anxious. He's not going to come close to the threat Lewis brought. If I'm wrong we should see in the next 2 preseason games, I'm hoping T Rich doesnt play.

Lewis may be out for the Season.
Pinkston has a high Sprain, will probably be out the rest of Pre-Season, possibly back for the first Regular Season game.
Mingo with a bruised Lung, out for a week, maybe two.
Bogotay (K) went out with a Groin pull, no idea what time impact this will be.
I'm wondering when Ryan Miller (OL) will be back from the Concussion he had some time back.
Team looked decent last night.
Weeden needs to work on the Receiver stare down, saw some ball patting (not bad), but looks better than last year so far . . . it is Pre-Season, so take it for what it's worth.
I'm pulling for Little, but I think he may still need a tad more work on catching, hard to say from some of the angles I saw.
Gordon should have probably caught the first long ball thrown his way, almost dropped the long one on the left down by the Goal.
Still have some concerns on our Run game, and the D has only made three sacks for all the pressure they've put up.
Next week should be interesting at Indy (Saturday game I think), hopefully no more camp/game injuries.

Well, maybe we know what will be a primary position to take with our first round pick next year.

anyone else notice on the two long passes Gordon used only 1 hand and tried tipping the ball back in??? One he caught and one he dropped

OK, I don't really speak Spanish. Just used one of those online translators.
Question though: when I asked it to tranlate "Go Browns" it gave me 3 different words for Brown. (one of them actually was so close to "broncos" that I wasn't going to use that. Though Vaya Marrones came up, that actually sounds like "Go Maroons". I used that one anyway.....even though was are not form Pottsville.
Any clue on what the correct translation of "Brown" in Spanish would be? Or should we stick with Marrones?

In French it would be "Allez Marrons" ...but I don't like the sound of that.
