Not sure that is a big deal for a DT/NT. Still...we don't want any injuries. I mean, did we already lose one guy pretty much for the season? Reynolds?

Reynolds turned out to be a strain and not a tear so just out a few weeks and not months or season .

OK...still.....Ed Reynolds is not a name that engendered any real excitement.....fair to say?

Can we stash Hogan? I'm too lazy to look up the PS rules. I don't care.

Yes... Up to four of the ten PS players can have as many as two accrued seasons. Kessler has one.

No. No we did not.

It is a very big deal. I doubt that there is a position that uses their hands more frequently than interior DL.

Losing the #1 on your depth chart is never a good thing.

But they usually make up for it by putting their hand in one of those casts...which they can then use to just bludgeon their opponent with, no?

Yea, but....when your #1 on your depth chart is Ed Reynolds....well, I just don't think you sink nearly as bad when you go to next up as you would with some other players.

Closest Tale of the Tape I could find thru 5..Kessler-30 of 43=70%...Osweiler-31 of 54=57%.....Kizer-23 of 43=53%.....Hogan-10 of 15=67%....11 on 11 siren with pads seemed to go Hues way Saturday but Gregg Williams seemed to get the earth moving on his side of the ball Sunday. (no church choirboys were allowed). The rubber match comes tomorrow than a Team scrimmage on Friday.

It has to be, dude. Another 1 - 15 season and all efforts going forward will be in preparing to move when they can move it.

Agreed. All DL need to use their hands frequently in the trenches. I tried to tell that to a lot of the people that were in a hurry to type Nassib sucks when the broken hand had a lot to do with his big drop off after week 1. He tried playing through the injury resorting to rip and swim moves almost exclusively; but it was like watching a bird trying to fly with a broken wing. If those are his only moves (especially when defending the run) against OTs outweighing him - he's gonna get rag-dolled.

So Joe T. gets the best of Garrett as Bruce Smith looks on...........................................for a moment anyway. Then Garrett blows by to touch/sack Kessler.

Lets talk about what is plaguing this Camp.#1.DROPS-started with Njoku.(1 nice catch from Hogan today) has never stopped with WR's thru camp. Now it was DeValves turn today. #2. Red Zone drill INTERCEPTIONS- 2 more today on Kessler & Brock. On Brock's, How many times does a pass have to hit off our WR's one hand to only be deflected to today Boddie-Calhoun? imo, We have a major concern on our hands after Britt,Coleman than a non-proven Randall Hall..has anybody heard Al Saunders address WR's at the podium lately? (not like we were ever fooled at this position )

When Gordon gets reinstated we'll have him and Coleman and Britt as legitimate weapons and we're still bringing along Louis, Higgins and Payton. We will be fine at WR. The sky is not falling guys.

Will Gordon get a couple of token games this year? 🥷

Gumby - Defenses always come along faster than offenses at the start of each season. I'll worry about that if it persists past the preseason games.

Yeah, many of us have been concerned about the WR position since Ray Farmer took over and indicated that he didn't value the position that much.

Our new guys have drafted a ton of receivers showing a better understanding of today's NFL game...but the position remains a weak area (at this point in time).

and when Santa Claus is signed, he, Gordon, Coleman, Britt and Jerry Rice will make a formidable quintet

Well, the odds of Gordon getting reinstated are slightly better than you getting hit by a meteor. Even if he gets reinstated- a big IF. AND the Browns will put him on the active roster- an even bigger IF. He's going to be so far behind the rest of the WR, he'll be darn near useless, short of running fly patterns to distract the defense.

Or when Bruce Smith unretires & suits up to play for the Browns- just think of that front four. I only bring that up because we finally got a 30 second blurb on NFLN. Bruce is in Berea tutoring his star pupil Myles.
