  • Rex is the modern day Don Strock ... The Dude. Nothing against Shaw, but I like having Rex on the roster. If we could pass Shaw to the PS id be happy with that.

  • Things I would like to see the Browns do tonight:

    1) Shaw playing the majority of the 2nd half.

    2) At least 1 TD from our punt/KR team (they came pretty close several times).

    3) More Kirksey

    4) A receiver actually catching a pass that wasn't perfectly thrown.

    5) A great open field tackle.

    6) A Gilbert pick six.

    7) At least 4 sacks from our pass rush.

  • I dig me some Willie Snead too. Hands and hustle.

    I'm mostly wanting to see a well oiled machine tonight, or at least a step in that direction. On both sides of the ball.

    I also wanna see the D find that fine line between holding 'em without actually getting flagged for holding 'em. That princess and the pea sized cushion they were giving the other team last week ain't gonna cut it.

  • Just walked in to see Santonio beat the brakes off of the secondary. No. We didn't need that or anything.

    Missed the 1st qtr. anybody feel like giving me a quick breakdown on whats happened thus far? How did the 1st teamers look on offense and defense?

  • Oh - and remind me again why Johnny should be starting?!

    I thought the starters looked pretty good. Some nice passes. D-Line is scary good.

  • I'm not a fan of JF (yet) but he sure is fun to watch.

  • The Browns just became fun to watch.

    I am pleasantly surprised to be saying that.

    Agreed, the D line looks good.

  • Both QB's showing what their strengths are tonight that's for sure. I'm hesitant to get too excited with JM running around against the scrubs of Chicago, but it can't hurt the guys confidence that's for sure.

    As long as it doesn't instill a sense of false confidence. I.E. - he won't be doing that shit against 1's in the NFL.

  • Hoyer had a nice TD drive. Couple nice catches from Gabriel. Couple nice under 10 yard runs from Tate. Cameron had a timely 3rd down catch. Agnew might have made the team with a hard fought 1 yard gain on 4th down, which ended up being unnecessary with a roughing the passer call. O line looked good to me on that first drive. Maybe best l'd seen this preseason.

    Yep, Totally agree. These wounded ducks he's throwing too are discouraging that's for sure.

  • Perhaps...but I'm impressed with how fast the Lil guy is learning. Hitting his second and third reads, tossed the ball to Snead rather than run.

    Ducks meh....he can practice the spin.....non issue.

  • This looks like as good of a place as any for my first post. My name is Dave and I have been a browns fan since I was a little boy watching the Cardiac Kids.

    Tonight I am looking for 1 or 2 of our receivers to step up and seize the opportunity to become solid NFL starters!

    For good or bad, Coach Pettine has challenged our current, and much maligned group of receivers to man up and show us all what they are made of.

    Who will make the most of it and breakout right before our eyes?

  • It's the last Pre-Season game and they're playing against 2nd/3rd stringter, but so far the execution seems to be coming together.

    2nd/3rd string O-line still concerns me big time, and the D is giving me a little bit to worry about \.

    Too many turnovers, but so far the Team is playing the best I've seen this Pre-Season.

    Let's see what happens 2nd half.

  • I think Johnny is doing alright. Listen I don't expect him to be great right off the bat but the kids got balls and we haven't seen that from a qb in a hot minute

  • What's nice to see already from Manziel is he IS making progress as a QB. He's actually making second and third reads and running safely. Gotta hit open guys though, no excuse for that.

    I did like seeing him make that one throw to the WR instead of running it - that is progress.

    Give him more time, don't force him to start, and he has some good potential.
