Browns Training Camp 2020

If Teams wait to add bodies at cut down? They will be on your team a week before Week 1 kicks off
I don't know how much we can accomplish before roster cuts. We obviously will be looking for offensive guards but rosters right now are quite fat with just about anybody that knows how to play tackle football (90 guys on some teams). And the cut down to 80 next week will be just bodies.
With the opt out of 66 players, that's 61 fewer decent players not being cut because teams have to keep guys that ordinarily would've been cut. (and maybe go to a practice squad) - The pool of cuts will be of lesser quality this year.

Just had a good confab with my former ball coach up in Toledo..The main topic were still confused on.. is this... Practice Squads,, and this is the latest confirmation of eligibility.. https://cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-nflpa-agree-to-revised-cba-salary-cap-details-training-camp-timeline-roster-size-and-more-to-know/
53 plus 16=69..2 to 3 players/team, always get protected by PuP list and or Injured Reserve, so that will cut into that pie.
But It looks like were still waiting on a confirmation of? (see link^^) a) only protecting 4 PS players of 16? or B.) up to 6 allowed Vets? is that the new number teams can protect?
Coach thought trading for OL help now would be draft pick compensation robbery..Teams knowing with Covid testing vs. Trench warfare..Teams ain't giving up no one for free with that high of a risk position, that they may need themselves.. Your better off waiting on the 5-6 last cuts that teams will have to make.. Stay tuned ?... and Exhale...Da Browns have no Players, at this time on Covid/reserve..

No doubt the pool will be thinner, and it is usually pretty thin

I betchya fewer 'older vets' get cut this year. If for no other reason than , they know the system, they know the plays, the coaches know them (this of course, rarely applies to us as we're always firing coaches). They are going to have such a short period of time, and no games for evaluating actual on field, full speed talent of new players.
I'm not certain, but I think the cut down to 80 is a couple of days before pads go on.

From the Rumor mill.. Keep your ears open to a FA RG Josh Kline. Kline played in Stef's system at Vikings. #26 in top 100 FA's.Than grab 1 more off the final scrap pile.If Berry want's a RG position competition? Bring him on, before pads & hit the playbook.. But get this...
So am listening to the Professor John Clayton on NFL radio delivering my route..Jimmy the 11th caller from Cleveland ask Clayton..
1) Rules to PS eligibility-- Clayton agree's that it's 16.. 10 can be with no experience..6 can be Veterans..But still only 4 can be protected from not being picked off your PS of 16 ?
2) Clayton stated that..eligible FA's can only pass team Physical's at Team's Camp sites..They also have to pass 3 Covid tests before entering there Buildings to get said Team Physical's ? so 4 days later, teams may be able to sign a FA..

.....that's right....the infamous COVID test days. By the time the team is heading off to the first game he'll still be figuring out his way around the facility. "Where's the rest room?"
So that last roster cut signing is not gonna help you much early on.

And added a Guard-Micheal Dunn.
- Dunn is 6-5, 315-pounds and is officially in his first NFL season out of Maryland. Originally signed by the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Dunn has spent time on the Rams (2017) and Jaguars (2018) practice squads. He also spent time with the Dolphins during the 2019 preseason and was a member of the Birmingham Iron (AAF) in 2019 and Seattle Dragons (XFL) in 2020. -
...pickin's are a little slim out there.

Waived (1):
CB Jameson Houston
Fair is a 6-2, 310 pound rookie out of Temple. Originally signed by Kansas City as an undrafted free agent, Fair started 42 of his 45 career games at Temple. He is a native of Akron and attended Firestone High School.
---------
....why would KC need him? They have Irving.

The Cleveland Browns have made the following roster moves:
Waived (4): WR Tony Brown, LB Jermaine Grace, DE George Obinna, DT Justin Zimmer (non-football injury)
The Browns active roster is currently at 80 players.
-----------
We don't need no stinking 90 players! This is a peculiar year. New coaches installing new systems. Deprived of OTA's. Lost TC time to COVID testing and sitting around waiting for results. They just don't have the time to teach and evaluate 90 guys while installing systems. They've gotta be at 80 before the pads go on anyway...let's be at 80...if someone that you like gets cut somewhere you can bring him in.

Browns bring back & sign DE George Obinna (this guy is built like a tank ?, but undersized to play in today's DE world, imo)..Than cut a un-drafted DT in Jeff Whatley.. so maybe we were after the Eagles Vinny Curry? Waiting on the results of a surprise Wednesday visit to camp by G Ronald Leary..
and here's a total preview of before phase 1 of conditioning camp & more https://cleveland.com/browns/2020/08/cleveland-browns-2020-training-camp-preview-everything-you-need-to-know.html But will STO (sports time ohio) be airing the Friday start of Camp from 2-4pm? pads can go on Sunday..

On STO after the Indians game I saw parts of the BROWNS training camp daily......yeah it feel like it's finally football season.
Interesting bit on the new BROWNS new coach flying down to Texas to meet with Mayfield just before the pandemic hit.
For the first time since 2014, Cleveland Browns Training Camp Daily returns to SportsTime Ohio. From April 21, 2017 02:30 AM nearing the end of that agreement.
STO is excited to take Browns fans inside Browns Training Camp with Training Camp Daily, debuting this Thursday, July 27 at 11pm. Each new 30-minute show will debut daily of Training Camp days, including weekends, following Indians game coverage with a replay the following morning at 11am. There will be a total of 15 shows.
During each show, the most recognizable and informed Browns broadcasters in the region will interview players, cover roster decisions, report position battles, provide injury updates, and discuss the upcoming season from the sidelines of the practice field in Berea.
Hear from this group of experts, who knows the Browns like no one else:
• Jim Donovan
• Doug Dieken
• Tony Grossi
• Nathan Zegura
• Matt Wilhelm
• Dustin Fox
Earlier this year, STO, FOX Sports Ohio and the Cleveland Browns reached a new multi-year television agreement. As part of this renewed partnership, STO will deliver the most comprehensive coverage of the Browns starting withTraining Camp Daily and continuing all season with Red Zone and Building the Browns.

Interesting article on how the offense looks early on.
Can't believe it is only four weeks until the season begins, in Baltimore.

Interesting article on how the offense looks early on.
Can't believe it is only four weeks until the season begins, in Baltimore.
Kind of what I imagined. Ground and pound, lot's of underneath stuff to the two tight ends. I don't mind 5-6 yard pass plays. Do that enough you draw the safties in them boom, hit it deeper to Beckham or Landry. Plus, the ball doesn't have to go 25 yards in the air to have a 25 yard gain. Both Hooper and Njoku, in addition to Hunt have the ability to shake a tackle and find another 10 yards of running room.
I like the idea of ball control. 7 minute drives are a wonderful thing. Just burn clock and score. That is a winning formula. Think Miami. Csonka, Kick, Morris gaining 4 yards a carry. A dink to Mandrich for 8. Then Warfield over the middle for 20. Hard to stop.
