Very nice comments on play of both QB's. Very happy with JM's progressions and reads. In the perfect place to continue his improvement as a pro.

Really masterful job by Flip at his end-of-camp presser... 17:23 well spent.

I could not help but think that with any reasonable measure of success as our OC over the next couple seasons, Flip is going to get a HC shot somewhere.

Going to bang my old drum here for a minute... I was just reading Dawgs by Nature's Day 17 summary and one item was from Jim O'Neil...

Coordinators Call Out Surprise Players: Speaking to the media before practice, both coordinators discussed five players who were camp surprises.

On defense, here is what Jim O'Neil said:

"I’d like to go by each level of the defense. If I start it up front, the draft picks are the draft picks I’ve been very impressed with those guys. Dylan Wynn’s gotten some attention; I just love how he plays the game, what he represents as a person. He’s going to give you everything he has. He’s had to play out of position some for us, just because of injury but he’s a guy I’ve really been impressed with.

I think the injuries in the backend have really allowed some DB’s to back up. I think IC (DB Ibraheim Campbell) has done a great job at safety, he has played almost the entire two preseason games and I think you’ve been able to see how physical he’s going to be in the run game. He’s where he’s supposed to be in the pass game and I think he’s only going to get better as he spends time in the system. (DB Landon) Feichter who we call Flex has been another guy that’s gotten a million reps and he’s done a great job. He just been a smart, tough guy out there for us who puts himself in position and makes the plays he’s supposed to make. Then the two corners who have really come in the past week have been (DB) Kendall James and Charles Gaines. Those were two guys, and I told them maybe two weeks ago they weren’t in the conversation to make the 53 and the way they’ve performed in the past week they’ve both put themselves very much in the conversation to make the 53. They both went up to Buffalo like they were on a mission and they’ve consistently made play after play after play so I’ve been very happy with those two guys."

It bothered me that Jim skipped over the LBs and never got back around to them. Maybe the writer left the LB discussion out? So I watched O'Neil's presser. The writer captured all of what was said (6:32 mark).

Bothers me when the DC of our 3-4 (Hybrid) does not start with an LB discussion, let alone fail to mention the group altogether. But like I said, that's my drum to bang... well... one of my drums anyway...

Plus Jennings's catch on JM's rollout was a thing of beauty-not an easy one any way you look at it.

They're telling us that too via actions speaking louder than words.

They told me to tell you...

@flugel said:

Despite the phantom penalty I was impressed by the runback by Wynn. Can't let that kid go.

Today's Tour de Berea: WR Terrelle Pryor, CB Joe Haden, DB Robert Nelson Jr., S Tashaun Gipson, CB Justin Gilbert & CB K'Waun Williams #Browns

shane_miller_47Really I just think Haden and Gipson are just playing it safe and they should be. But the rest of these guys do not have a solid spot on the team. You gotta play through it or get cut

I could perhaps see Wynn over Gabe, but even that is a very long shot.

@tiamat63 said:

Never expected to say that I don't believe Mayle will make the 53. My only concern with Wynn would be giving us yet another receiver 5'7 or under.

Assumes both Hawk and Gabe stick...

They may very well be some surprises in the cuts ...

that none of us saw coming.

Darius Jennings,,,,,,

And the very last rated one(#37) is......(wait for it...again)....

Vince Mayle......

I know......doesnt mean a thing.....but still some fun facts......

@tour2ma said:

Goes back to the draft, man. I think most of us were on board with Shelton as the pick. And that's carried over to early reports of him during TC.

It's nice to see.

@mudfly said:

And that's a good thing!.

As much as I love the way he manhandled his opposite, I think I love his reaction to having done that just as much. Outburst of pure joy without a hint of "look at me".

Gotta be a sport science segment brewing for the power he generates.

Shelton is an absolute BEAST.
