Ever wonder why there are so few Ivy Leaguers in the NFL. (not good enough but maybe good to write for the Harvard Lampoon
)
Because now they are mostly brains and not brawn, unlike 100 years ago?
Actually....in checking, there were 14 Ivy Leaguers on NFL rosters last year: half of those from Harvard:

And note, the Browns have 2 of them: DeValve...AND JC Tretter. Now, I had no clue that he went to Cornell (the only Cornell player in the league). So, now, clearly I like him a lot better as a player! Since, after all, my son goes to Cornell. I'll be darned!

Wow, didn't know that there were that many and forgot about QB Fitzpatrick.

You were adding up the columns but forgot the losing score for the Browns in game 2 was on the right side with the other two defensive winning scores.?

Guys that could see action: Zeitler (I doubt it), Calloway, and Coley.
Baker to get significant playing time.
Fullback Vitale is out and and no mention of DeVulva ... it feels like the world is breaking right for Devon "Juice" Cajuste.

whats the point of playing baker I believe we all have seen enough of him going up against the 2's thru 4's and the future grocery baggers ( and by we I also mean the coachs )
it's the 4th pre season game can't we just take a knee

Well Baker might get a few weeks of few or no snaps depending on how the season goes, play him like you would a normal preseason quarterback, the first half plus first drive (or so) in the third quarter.
Then Stanton, are the BROWNS going to carry three quarterbacks......I imagine that they will.

last I heard was 3 so give Stanton all those snaps and let baker watch cause he is the future face of the franchise why take a chance of getting him hurt vs a bunch of scrubs who may be bubble players trying to make a name for themselves

That's the dilemma of sorts when you have a 1 and 1a quarterback instead of a 1 and 2, how much live fire do you give the week 1 starter.....zero. How much to the #1 pick in the draft? The 33 million dollar man and heir apparent to the crown, eh, we'll see on that.

well I have read up on nfl rules and no we just cannot take a knee to end the game in the first quarter but we can punt on first down so give are special teams some practice

I remember of a few old snowstorm college games where they'd punt on first down to try and recover the fumble.
But no I guess you can't just forfeit the games and go home, or can you? Hmmmmm, the vendors would hate that!

The Cook? Casey Ryback?
That black Tarkenton guy who retired 40+ years ago?
Seriously though it's Mayfield's team in the first half and a bit beyond.
