I think 'Former' Browns' 1st round draft pick works.

@cainedesoulis said:

The scrimmage was taking place at Ohio Stadium...in Pryor's old haunting grounds. Probably why he was featured.

@topdawg31 said:

We need a new, better nickname for him.

How about "Charcoal"? It is always getting burnt on a grill.

Or

Qui Gon Jin.....as they burned him in a funeral pyre.

Or "The French Army".....because he gets run over so badly.

Or "Zippo" for the way he is always getting lit up.

Insert your own.

same here, preseason or not I have to see a game in Lambeau.

@topdawg31 said:

Oh, do I envy you! Going to a live game at Lambeau is definitely one of my "bucket list" items.

That's really good news about Friday. Man, that sounds like a great road trip this time of year. Enjoy...

@flugel said:

The real 11 on 11 with live tackling scrimmage was Friday night and Coleman and RG3 were the stars. Football in 5 days and I will be there, road trip to Lambeau.

@typicalbrowns said:

I didn't realize that scrimmage was without pads or I wouldn't have asked so many questions. Thanks for all the info you shared!

Hard to believe the first preseason game is only 5 days away.

No kidding, and not only make the active roster, but have a significant role throughout the year too.

@calfoxwc said:

With the crap that was on this roster, all 14 should make it.

three or times Hue said "WAY TO GO, SCOOBY!"

that's it. Scooby has instincts to be a player worth keeping.

and Higgins... the rest of the rookies. I wonder if there is a record for

the # of rookies to make an NFL team's active roster.

Maybe the Browns might break that record....

@calfoxwc said:

Would love a report on Scooby......... I haven't heard his name much so far, and was hoping I would've by now.

@jiggins7919 said:

Right...honestly havent bought the hype on him yet, so its good to hear he actually caught some balls....though, Ive never thought of Pryor as a "physical" player.....kinda more as a softy who hates contact.....perhaps(hopefully) he's developing an edge now thats he's outside the pocket....

@flugel said:

That said, he and Lenz were the talk of training camp this time last year and neither made the team with the weakest WR Corps in the league.

And that is eggsactly the reason we shouldnt get all hyped because a guy has a good week of practice or a big scrimmage.....e.v.e.r.y s.i.n.g.l.e y.e.a.r. there is a camp "superstar" who flashes, gets raves and then gets cut, never to be heard of again.........

@calfoxwc said:

I really want to ... get a look at Danny Shelton He's going

to be a huge part of scaring opposing offenses this season.

Yep. Im expecting him to show some solid improvement and do what we drafted him to do.....

@typicalbrowns said:

Jordan Payton was used in the backfield, motion, FB, he was all over the place and could be a hybrid tight end

Crowell looks sooooo fast and quick. Hope he stays healthy, him and Duke will be fun to watch this year.

Raheem dropped every single punt/kick, Jennings took one to the house.

It was nice just seeing Gordon in shorts and a jersey with 12 on it

Gilbert got burnt a couple times but looks much more cozy and seasoned in his role than last year

Kruger will surprise this year......he looked really fast and strong off the snap.

Cody Kessler looks awful so far, very raw and has a ways to go, keep McCown For the time being

Good notes...thanks...sooo...

Payton at TE and FB?......sounds interesting....

Glad to hear Crow looked good.....was he hitting the holes?....cause he always looks strong and fast...but finding the gap?....thats a different story....

Cut Raheem......(right now, please)

Gordo will look even better in pads......

This guy....Gilbert....whatta weirdo....man do I hope his light goes off....was he returning any kicks?

Kruger?....fast?....AHahahahaha.....thats a good one!....Hey, you are spot on with your other comment tho.... if he plays well, it WILL be a surprise...HUGE

They are crazy if they dont keep McCown.........

@flugel said:

Thanks for starting a good football thread this weekend!

That's good news about Pryor. That said, he and Lenz were the talk of training camp this time last year and neither made the team with the weakest WR Corps in the league. I was so disappointed in the previous staff for erasing almost an entire season worth of development/experience from Pryor. When they finally brought him back with a few weeks left - we read nonsense like we're not ready to put him out there yet as if it would cost us anything on our way to 3 wins.

I know it's not always easy to zero in on specific things especially if you have kids, a spouse or grandchildren with you so if you or anyone else that attended can answer any of the following questions - it would be great.

Did any WRs beside Pryor look impressive?

What can you tell me about the o-line like Erving, Drango and Coleman in particular? Or, if anyone stood out on either line?

Did Scooby Do or Don't?

How did the backers look especially in pass coverage?

Did any of our 1st or 2nd year edge rushers impress you?

Does it look like we have any RBs that could challenge Crow or Duke for reps?

Did any FBs/TEs catch your eye blocking or catching?

Anyone in our secondary jump out at you in a good way at Safety or Corner?

It sounds like they did some STs stuff reading about Mostert's frustrating day, did they use our WR Ricardo Louis as a punt coverage gunner?

Higgins is small, he's got decent size but he looked pretty little when running routes

Pryor actually had 8 catches and 2 TDs, RG was finding him everywhere. Pry has come a long way from last year. Too bad Coleman couldn't practice. Gordon, Pyror, and Coleman....looking good on the edge this year

Crowell looks sooooo fast and quick. Hope he stays healthy, him and Duke will be fun to watch this year.

Like another poster said, Raheem dropped every single punt/kick, Jennings took one to the house.

It was nice just seeing Gordon in shorts and a jersey with 12 on it

Gilbert got burnt a couple times but looks much more cozy and seasoned in his role than last year

It was tough to judge any positions on defense because there was no contact. Kruger will surprise this year, they've changed his depth and length going up field with his qb Rush and he looked really fast and strong off the snap.

Cody Kessler looks awful so far, very raw and has a ways to go, keep McCown For the time being

I really want to see the rookies, and get a look at Danny Shelton He's going

to be a huge part of scaring opposing offenses this season.

@cainedesoulis said:

Interesting! Thanks for that QB info!

Kessler not only has the challenge of his own learning curve; but he also takes on the learning curve of all the inexperienced WRs that might be screwing up routes or adjustments to coverage leverages ending up in a sack like you mentioned.

I remember back when had a young QB anticipating MoMass to take a give me inside while cut outside making the QB look real bad.

It just seems like an experienced QB can get WRs on the same page easier than an inexperienced QB brand new to pre-snap reads.

Sad to see Corey didn't play after having such an incredible week, BUT I read that it was precautionary. RG III looking good was a huge bonus to everything we have going on. We kept hearing about him improving, and now it's somewhat validated.

@cainedesoulis said:

Yeah- I went last year-it was OK, but not worth two hours of driving to watch. The hype is getting people in the Columbus area interested in seeing the Browns.
