The Scary Week of Practice
-
Since I'll be at the game Saturday (it's a shorter drive for me to Indy than Cleveland) checked out what the CIBB Central Indiana Browns Bakers were doing. They had a significant presence yesterday and again will today at the practices. Meeting up with them before the game at one of their Tailgates.

I don’t get why “scary”. This TC is different than the past few years when we had a head coach that didn’t feel that practice was necessary. And it showed in the record. One reason that CBS has us in the playoffs this year. Are they right? Hope so but I’ll believe it when I see it.

I could be mistaken, but I think the OP was saying scary because of potential injuries. At least, that's what I always worry about during both team practices and joint versions, LOL.
However, after looking at the practice updates from Thursday and listening to some podcasts, I think fans should be extremely excited. Multiple analysts made reference of the Browns setting the tone, not backing down, and looking like we belong against a team that made the playoffs last year AND won a game. Now of course the Colts aren’t playing Andrew Luck, but it was nice to hear that our guys appeared physical, hungry, and evenly matched in various matchups throughout practice.
We have to take this information with a grain of salt, but our radio and podcast people said we looked like the superior team and they made multiple references that we appeared to set the tone throughout the day. There were multiple skirmishes, including one bench-clearing incident, but I don’t believe anyone was hurt and cooler heads prevailed.
Some stand out performers included Jaelen Strong at WR, and this is a guy who didn’t play football last year due to an ACL injury, and he’s making an extremely….well…”strong” case to make the team. In fact, it sounds like he’s not only a lock to make the roster, he’s actually going to factor into our offense. Strong caught just about everything threw his way and I keep hearing his name routinely after practices.
Other standouts include Nick Chubb, who ripped off a 65 yard TD run after making one cut and smashing the gas. Everyone was celebrating the run and the offensive line was ecstatic. In the two minute drill, Baker connected to Landry multiple times, and I believe we finished this drive off with a TD, unlock Wednesday’s practice where we settled for 3. Kush remains entrenched as the RG starter, Beckham didn’t practice again, and Landry only participated sparingly.
Our defensive line starters have all been out there during both days, and I read they were “dominant”. This is terrific to hear, and I really wish our entire offense was out there so they could get some time together. Oh, Genard Avery is back full time and has looked impressive rushing the QB, and I also read that Kareem Hunt was impressive on Wednesday. Overall, I’m happy with the practices and I’m so relieved to read that we looked like the more physical team out there.

What is this I hear about Odell Beckham Jr. having a hip pointer is a result of having too much sex?

Well, stuff like this happens- but it just because it's against another team doesn't make it any more frequent.... Wasn't one of our guys fortunately. You can't put the players in bubble wrap, and looks like this may have been one of those non contact injuries that turns into a season ending one. BTW heard on Training Camp Daily Freddie is just about out of the NFLPA mandated max of 14 practices in pads.

LOL, YOU should be so lucky.... If it was regular season, he'd be out there playing.

How do you know that I am not.
I mean, my arthritis, neuropathy, embolism, diabetes.....all the result of a lot of sex? (or lack thereof).
Yeah, I tried to convince my wife I had a prostate problem from underutilization. You guessed it. She didn't buy it and the surgeon reamed it out with a laser.?

Needed the local radio talking heads station before and after the game, WKNR seriously out of range..... But they may have done something there, upping their power output. Used to fade out before I got to Medina on the way back home, now I can usually get them as far as Columbus, and sometimes all the way to Dayton..... Some of the CIBB Tailgating a couple blocks from Lucas Oil. Great place to watch a game, but as usual going into enemy territory you have to deal with the occasional obnoxious Homer....

It's funny, I kind of thought that too, but apparently our version of camp is no laughing matter. Obviously I can't speak for ALL Browns fans, but I know enough that desperately want a TOUGH, PHYSICAL team, and we simply haven't had that. Now, I get the feeling that toughness and physicality are what we're hanging our hat on, and that's what it'll take to beat the Ravens and Steelers. Newspapers like to report on the dangers of our passing attack, but the real power of our offense will likely come from the ground, especially after the weather turns.

That's my favorite brand of auto racing. I also enjoy IMSA (and the Corvette team).

If your QB has a decently strong arm, then the weather doesn't keep you from kicking ass with the pass. The Patriots have set passing records in snow storms. The QB & the receiver know where they're going. The DB has to guess right. That said, you HAVE TO be able to run, half decent anyway, in ANY weather.

I hear you. If the Browns establish a rushing attack, the passing game will be lethal. If they can find a way to keep the rush going (Chubb stays healthy) until week 10, Hunt comes in, and look out. Most all good teams can get down and dirty with the run, even if they have potent passing. Pats just kept rushing in the Super Bowl run 2018. Elway won nothing until he had a running game (TD). Browns need to be tough. Got to.
