He never got any time playing with starting blockers or anything so it's kinda' hard to gauge him.  His fumble against the Packers didn't help.  He's always the guy they phone in an emergency to round out the RB room.  I wish him luck with the Rats.   And yeah, D'Ernest is buried on the Jaguars depth chart.  (that's my 8 yr old grandson's team)  But the two were on different levels here.  Johnson was here to actually get into games when even remotely needed...whereas Kelly was an emergency guy that they didn't want to have to actually play.  

That sums him up pretty good.

Seemed like a hard working guy awaiting the right opportunity.  Having said that, I don't know that he ever made the most of his limited opportunities to show that he was anything more than a dime a dozen guy without an acceleration gear.  Someone that did make the most of his opportunities here not too long ago was RB D'Ernest Johnson.  I think he's still in the league somewhere (maybe Jacksonville?).

Sure, they'd like some intel on Dorsey and his input into last year's Browns offense.   But even that doesn't mean he won't be back with us later in the year.

Well, he's had his contract terminated.  Bye John.  Perhaps we'll see you back here before the season is over.

John Kelly got more reps than he should at this point.  I mean, he's not going to make the team.  He never does.  And fumbling the ball away isn't going to help him much.  (Still though, I like that poor guy)

I watched bits and pieces as l could with the means l had yesterday. I always get excited for the first preseason game, even if it’s consistently lackluster and sometimes disappointing.

I wasn’t disappointed. The game happened. It was mostly disappointing but FUCkIN’ BROWNS FOOTBALL BABY HELL YES!!!

the link i put up worked great HD quality, hopefully it will  work for next weeks game also

Center Luke Wypler has a broken ankle. 

i just put up a article about who we could sign, in the offensive line thread

4 Browns standouts who made a case for the 53-man roster vs

And unbelievably, we weren't the first team to do it.   

Yeah, that Lions team did the same thing! ?

At the end of the day, yes it is a preseason game. 

But you would hope it would look a little more organized. Plenty of stuff for them to work on this coming week.

Didn't we go 4-0 in the preseason that we went 0-16 in the regular season?

That is correct.  I see you've been to a seminar or two yourself.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd much rather have a coach like Hue Jackson. A proven pre-season winner.

after one preseason game. 

Does nickers have relatives in Western Pennsylvania? ?

I get its preseason but having a Coach whose in what?.. His 4th season now?... I expect better from an experienced coach who is still having game day management issues with his team. The team also looked abysmal.. Having said that... It's not time to panic, but.... I hope for improvement... But this tough ass schedule doesn't look promising...

go back to  the poli board you fucking idiot

Just excited to see the Browns again. I didn't go, gave my preseason tickets to charity.

The marginal guys get a lot of playing time.

Our marginal guys aren't as good as the Packers' marginals.

I'm glad you mentioned Stef!  He started off calling the plays....then, later on, I noticed that he didn't have his play card.  I'm pretty sure that Dorsey called the plays for a significant part of the game...although the cameras really didn't show Dorsey after quite early in the game.  When they DID show Dorsey (early on) he wasn't standing anywhere near Stef but he did have a play card.  Both of them had a play card at that time.

When Adidi talked to Emerson on the sideline during the game he mentioned that they need to work on communication...so apparently there's some communication issues the DB's are working through at the moment.   And when she talked to Dewand he said that Andy, the new OL coach, uses much the same terminology that Callahan used so the transition away from Callahan isn't an abrupt change or anything....which is cool.
