Well, at least they're aware of it early and can work on it.
Sanders will be working with him...
And if I'm Hue, I tell the DB's to keep trying to strip it from him.
Agree. Some of his game tape showed in TE words "a chicken wing" in open field than would tuck it away in traffic. Not in this league.TE coach Seaman will have him freakin sleeping with it..The kid is 20, running around with some bulldozers with no pads on. Tomorrows a new day

Alright....so I hit camp yesterday and really enjoyed it(as I do every time I go).....came away with a better feeling for this team(as I do every time I go).....nothing deeply insightful happened....but I did get some initial(positive) vibes and a better sense for some of our new guys.....
We had a good looking group that, to me, feels like a pro team.....lots of real specimens out there.....a few eye openers....
Ill avoid any negatives(not that I saw many) and focus on the good (and surprising) schtuff...
1) Myles Garret is freaking huge.....definitely looks like a monster out there(cliche....but true)....excited to watch him play
2) Njoku is huge too.......had a bumpy day, but no worries.....overall, looks the part....
3) Kenny Britt is huge too....didnt realize how big this guy is......
4) Brock Asspiler is one tall dude....and to me.....looked the best of the group......
Ok....so much for the big guy talk....
Saw Hue get pretty fired up a couple times.....got pissed and screamed " throw the fucking ball, throw it !!!" at Asspiler......loved that!!!.....nice to see Hue show some genuine fire over rah rah.......
Dominque Alexander (one of my darkhorse favorites from last preseason) looked good too.....Im guessing we'll probably see more of him this year....
The D looks pretty aggressive....hands and holding everywhere....so, liked the vibe, but a little worried that over aggressive means lotsa penalties......there is a fine line....
Overall....doesnt look or feel like a team coming off 1-15....I see more blue chips than Ive seen in a while......
Im planning to go again on Monday....so, will hopefully have some more insightful comments then....

Day 2.Book it. Managed Day Off--Haden,JT,Des,Greco,Britt(side work),Reiter,McCourty,Bitonio & from heat cramps yesterday Kindred was out. Back in today was Vitale & James Wright. Good sign for my Wolfpacker Matthew Dayes? George Atkinson was put on waivers & a camp body from S.Carolina was brought in Brandon Wilds. Word of the day? Windy..Kessler & Kizer got work with ones, Osweilder the two's. First pick of the season? Osweilder passed was tipped by DL Trevon Coley, on the dive Dominique Alexander got the pick. Njoku has had a tough start to camp. Today Hue at presser responded "Yea, he needs to hang on to the freakin' ball AND He Will"..Njoku was striped twice by CB's putting ball on ground. Njoku was seen on sideline after practice catching & tucking on throwing machine balls. No Injuries to report(yes) but Hue ended practice soon after a skirmish between Shon Coleman & Schult with a punch thrown but broken up quickly..At Hue's presser it was announced that Siren & Pads will come on starting tomorrow thru weekends practice and "Were excited cause everybody will be a go". TopDawg31 looks like you picked the perfect pad weekend..The Show is all yours for your Eyes on Reporting..Have some fun & look forward to the fan's eye report..Woof! https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2017/7/28/16059940/cleveland-browns-training-camp-recap-day-2-njoku-getting-stripped-and-high-winds-in berea

Shon's got a lil nasty in him... sweet...
4) Brock Asspiler is one tall dude....and to me.....looked the best of the group......
Watched NFL Films, Texans' 2016 recap a couple days ago. There were times when Brock's drop looked smooth, and other times when it was slow and awkward. Very striking and, in a very limited sample size, very determinative of his results.

Canton Repository's beat writer Steve Doerschuk tweeted. . .
Hidden bonus in practice today. Big wind. Chance to evaluate QB arms. Osweiler adjusted. Kizer's ball cut right through it from start.

Dawgsbynature.com has some camp viedos. The one with that twitter quote was some on point sideline throws. From all accounts, Kizer looks pretty good, we shall see.

First our TE can't hold on to the Ball, now he can't catch it - had the dropsies today
Our new Killer D got gashed today, giving up chunks of yardage and a Score or two(?) . . .
A persistent problem, or are the upgrades to the OL that good?
Did 3 Players get hurt today (RB, S, & OL) ?
Dang early to start thinning out to injuries already if that is truly the case.
From what I've read, Kizer is looking pretty good mechanically and Arm strength wise.
Also sounded like Kizer and Hogan were the best looking QB's today . . .
So, Schult (fight) and Kai (INT) were out with the the ones today?
Interesting, these are two UDFA's I mentioned post Draft when all the UDFA signings were going on.
Schult looked to good passion and drive, not sure if he's got the bulk yet . . .
Kai Nacua is a bit of a Ball Hawk . . . kid just seems to have a knack for being around the Ball when it comes out and coming up with it.
Haslam spoke today the for the first time in quite some time.
Sounded more patient than in the past . . . we'll see
The more I hear out of Indy the more I think we move a QB . . . Luck doesn't seem to be recovering quickly from the Shoulder Surgery he had Off-Season.
Hey, it's day 3 of Training Camp - long way to go.
-
A week ago, I would've promised he'd be traded and wouldnt get a proper opportunity to compete....but now sense the possibility he's actually in the running to start?....

A week ago I said he'd be our opening day starter.

I just get this feeling that Brock is that Booger on the tip of the Browns finger & they don't no where to put it
As for Kizer, the kid took a scripted notebook paper to a empty field a hour after practice calling play verb-age in a huddle that he has never done before. Preseason games in about a week. Operation Separation for somebody or it goes to Kessler? Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -
well, it was hot, and I'm just recovered from maybe a black widow spider bite and antibiotics....I get sick
when I'm out in the sun for very long....
but I noticed a few things -
Ogunjobi is quick, and might be as strong as Danny Shelton. Can't wait to watch him play in a
regular season game. Meder, Orchard, a few others hit the first of four blocking dummies on the
4 man rig... and heavy as it might be, the end moves a half foot - seems impressive to me - a tractor
with a skid loader rig picks it up and takes off with it.
When Danny and Ogunjobi hit it - it pops about a foot on one end, a few inches on the other.
Interesting.
Peppers looks locked in natural, perfectly instinctive catching kicks. I think it was Alford who seemed to be lackadaisical,
not a good kick catcher. We'll see, but that won't fly with these coaches. He didn't try, or is very clumsy....
Kenny Britt looked today like everybody wishes gordon could have been - a big wr with this head screwed on straight,
who practices full on. He looks good.
Colquitt and Gonzalez can really boom punts. Gonzalez... boomed 55/60 yards a few times... that will be a tough
battle, tough decision maybe.
Kevin Hogan did a nice job - seemed to get rid of the ball quick. Osweiler doesn't. Held onto the ball way too long.
Indicative of anything at all? probably not, at this point. Kizer isn't ready, but man, he can throw an intermediate pass
that gets there with serious stuff on it. It's early though.
Miles Garrett is very, very smart, and instinctive hugely. He can shut down a running play, he is just there.
Scary stuff. He's big, and moves like .... I don't know. A jaguar or something? he's also very strong.
Oh, boy, are opposing offenses going to fret about wherever he is on the line. He looks unstoppable.
Derrick Kindred plays very, very smart. and he's quick to make plays. Impressive. So is Kai Nakua. Smart instinctive
db's... around the ball a lot.
Joe Thomas has a beard now. Makes him look meaner. He rocks like he always has. He didn't seem to be out there though.
Reynolds, db, got banged up a bit on a play...they were looking at his knee, he walked it off and continued I think.
While most of us were watching the play downfield, Shon Coleman and Karter Schult, lb (dl in college) got into a fight, and the offense and defense flowed fast into the mix. Schult is a player - don't know who threw a punch. But "the benches" were there
at the fight. It was a fast crowd. The players mean business. Serious business. Still seems like they were having fun out there.
I think Njoku and Devalve are going to be stars maybe, this season. The TE rookie, McNamara is a kid who could
catch on as a blocker... we'll see.
The Browns oline looks like the immoveable object and the defensive line looks like the irresistable force, or something like that.
Serious killer stuff already, and it's only practice, and it's early.
a lot of work to do, a lot of coaching going on - the players are ramped up. nobody is acting like they aren't into it.
The new bleachers are awesome. On the sunlight side, but that makes sense- that is where all the room and activities are.
-
i saw that kizer played with the 2's for the first time today after his interception... hmmmm?
-
Kai was working with the 1's today aswell and was made multiple tackles
-
oh, I'm also just getting over most of a cold...took a Dayquill to not be sneezing at the practice.
Coleman made a GREAT catch along the far sideline - judged it beautifully, the db was right there.
At one point, I started feeling sick a bit, the breeze faltered, so I went down and got a bottle of water
and a plain hotdog. Plain hotdog- $3.00. Loaded...$5. Signed up over at the booths to win a Joe Thomas
autographed helmet. Yeah, right. Didn't win it last year, either. That is probably when I missed the interception...
But, I DID spin the wheel, and get myself a free little orange megaphone, that says "Drive to Stay Alive" from
State Farm. I have two now, and haven't gotten around to putting a big Browns sticker on em....

calfoxwc-interesting you describe Garrett as a jaguar. He majored in paleontology and describes himself as Deinonychus, a velociraptor twice the size of the ones in Jurassic Park. If you ever saw him snatch a QB with one hand and throw him down, you would think he is very accurate. Glad to see you were as impressed as I have been since his first game as a freshman. Last year was NOT the guy I saw the 1st two years because of the injury. Sounds like he has recovered fully now. Gonna be fun to watch him and his compadres unleashed this year.
-
Today's practice should be crazy.from what i read into. #1.Haslem doing his best Axle Rose whistling just a little patience till 18 or 19. #2.Shelton now a fan of the fabulous Samoans with the Samoan flop on football piles. #3.Gregg Williams defense got torched by Hues new running game drive 1. #4. Reynolds is a spot where we really don't need injuries. Hoping for the short IR & not the season.

Velociraptors were actually very small - only about 40 lbs.
While called velociraptor, the raptors in JP were closer to the size of a Utahraptor.
Deinoychus was smaller than the Utahraptor, but larger than the velociraptor, like around the height of a small child.

Operation Separation for somebody or it goes to Kessler? Y'all trying to pull Garrett onto the forum with the dino-talk? Might work...
Finally had to look up this UDFA, Schult... may be more than Camp fodder, but see nothing in his measurables to suggest anything special.

lol... would not have put it that way, but kinda...
Ideally Brock finishes a close 2nd with 3rd close on his heels... pump up that trade value...
- well, it was hot, and I'm just recovered from maybe a black widow spider bite and antibiotics....
- Kevin Hogan did a nice job - seemed to get rid of the ball quick. Osweiler doesn't. Held onto the ball way too long.Indicative of anything at all?
- Never messed with a widow, but have tangled with a brown recluse... twice... skin disruption is no fun.
- What was the drill?

It was about 5 ft high and weighed up to 220 lbs according to what I have read.

Look at your diagram - the Deinonychus is the middle one, not the largest one.It was about 5 ft high and weighed up to 220 lbs according to what I have read.
