  • Attitude change is evident with this squad.  Tip of the hat to Hue and Gregg - and a big "Thank You!"

  • I second it!  Hue has to be a leader. Name a starter and stick to your guns! Develop Kizer and build around this guy! We have to start winning with good leadership!

  • lost stream on Hogans second drive..Had to go to the truck radio with Jim Donovan & Hogans Heroes last 10 mins. The Truck radio is now 2-0. The secret weapon.. Lots to clean-up but hey, ScoreBoard Baby!!   

  • Lost my feed but NFL net picked up the key moments in the game. Our D is for real. Just what you want to base a playoff team around.

  • Few questions as the game was not available in my area...    Just going off of stats, why the big praise for kizer?  6-18 and a pick.  And Garret had no tackles or assists?  Just curious as stats don't always tell the tale.  Thanks in advance.

  • I cant remember the last 3-0 preaseason start.  I know 31 yrs ago was the last 4-0 preseason start. 

    Kudos the new staff.  Nice to see the no quit mentality.  Although those guys are trying to make the team they play all 4 quarters hard.

    He threw alot of nice passes.  Several drops.. terrible calls.  Overall pocket presence... didnt looked panicked.  Made some zippy throws put in tough spots..other long downfield throws were very accurate.  The pick was off a tip on a 3rd and long.

  • Garrett silent?

    Invisible, not showing anything to warrant a #1 overall pick

    3rd down conversions were incredible.

    4 of the 5 sacks came from DE position..lets see what the tape shows. Myles was Kruger close forcing ball out on 2 plays that i saw. 1 Jamius just threw away

  • I am hoping he didn't want to go all out for a pre season game .  I want to believe he is a beast

    If his receivers could catch a god damn ball, his numbers would have looked a lot better.  (I counted) three really good throws that bounced off of hands - one of which would have been a touchdown.

    Converted on a few third downs, which was nice.  

    Still a lot to work on.  Got into third down situation it seemed constantly, not making enough yards on first and second.  A couple of big overthrows and could have been picked off twice more than he did.  And I think he was afraid (or told not) to run, as his legs were a non-factor.

    It really is all there for Kizer, though.  He was more decisive and his timing was far better than he showed in the first two games.  My criticisms when I first saw him take the field aren't the same as the ones tonight... He just keeps getting cleaner and cleaner.  It's going to be exciting to watch his progress this season.

  • Imagine what my boy Hogan could do if Hue would let him run with the ones for once? 

    Hogan is the best QB on the Browns.

    Garrett highest graded player in the game...

    I don't claim to understand how this whole grading system works, but interesting that both Browns safeties, considered a position of weakness, received the 3rd and 4th highest grades of any Browns.

    The INT was on tipped ball . . . still seeing dropped passes by WR's as well.

    Kid is showing Pocket presence and stays calm, just needs to speed up his clock a bit and maybe backoff on always looking for the long ball.

    Looking good for a Rookie though.

  • Game Highlights :

    Kizer Highlights :

  • Not surprised at how well Cooper graded out even if it was against the 2s.

    I think our overall defense is playing so much better than any of us thought they could play before the season opener.

    Not bad at all for a team full of rookies and 2nd year players.
