***Official Browns Vs. Rams Preseason Game Night Thread***
-
Can Johnny Football play defensive back? Can't be any worse than Gilbert!
-
He had solid coverage on the first pass he gave up. Just needed to get his head around.
There was a lot of contact by Givens on the top of that route. But it's the NFL, ain't no call going to the offense.
He's not a good player in space yet. Zone coverage is still something be needs to work on, especially squeezing that receiver. On the dig he needs to break on the route/ball - not trail the receiver.
Some encouraging things but some that also say he's still a rookie.
Edit. Also after how many weeks of camp plus the flag fest the past two games, I'm sure these DB's are a little gun shy.
-
What's obvious on both teams is the DB's are playing off the WR's because of the way flags are being called. That's why soft spots are open in the zone like that.
-
That was the knock on Gilbert coming out of Okie State.
-
All I can say is I'm happy this is happening to Gilbert in the preseason.
-
Couple thoughts I'm having so far...
1- How can you go from so many defensive hands penalties last game by both teams to ZERO so far this game??
2- Where's Josh Gordon?
3- why the hell did I put a 50 spot on the browns this game??
-
Gabriel is a keeper.
Not Peter. Though he's had his moments too.

Wondering the same thing.
Last week in was in every fucking package.

Might have to do with him slacking off last week. A good way to piss off any coach is too half ass it on the field.

Much better showing. Good job looking off the safety.

For those who may not be watching the first half live I'll give my impressions good and bad.
Pros:
Armonty Bryant is still looking great. Might be the biggest draft steal the Browns have had in a long time.
It's clear to me why Hoyer should start week one, he's got the game manager role down. Solid throws but the int was really bad for sure. I hope they give him the first series coming out of half as well.
Special teams have looked very solid. Poyer is quick and Benjamin looked like his ACL isn't going to slow him down.
Cons:
Gilbert has had a hard rookie curve. I'd say 75% of the big pass plays the Rams had were on Gilbert including the long TD play.
Schwartz is still getting beat bad, man.
WR's still are dropping passes and not getting much separation.
Misc:
Bradford went down holding his knee early. The look on his face to me anyway was one of "i've been here before and this is bad. I hope he's alright cause that sucks for him. Likewise 3-4 other Rams went off with injuries with their starting CB carted off the field.

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS RTG
B. Hoyer 4/7 46 6.6 0 1 1-8 37.5
Need a new QB in the 3rd.
Yep, but will it be Shaw or the Lil Guy?

Manziel after this series. Depending on how Johnny does, he may get to play the rest of this game.

That's the type of throw I think you'll see Gilbert go for the pick the more comfortable he grows. Great straight line speed, long arms. Hard to put a ball over the top.
Good defense.
