Training Camp - starts July 29th

You are already writing off Fano as a Left Tackle?
Let's just say I see him more as a RT. Imma "we'll see" at LT. I hope he proves me wrong.

I never liked the idea of turning Fano back into a LT when he played his very best college football at RT while his teammate/friend Caleb Lomu upgaded the LT position at Utah (with much better footwork and slightly longer arms). Let's just say Fano's cleats look about 30 lbs heavier when he plays RT but I won't rule out subject to change at some point. Having said all that, Fano is just a rookie early-on into things enough to tansition back to his RT niche so the Browns can see if LT Dawand Jones-Light (as in 350 lbs and suddenly able to see toes from a standing position) can be who we hoped he could be with much easier ergonomics to do so. Haven't seen much on how Jones has looked yet though; so I'm just spitballing alternative considerations to ponder. If that would work, Tytus Howard started al OG and OT for Houston last year so he could kick inside to RG (as someone previously drafted in round 1 with experience we could utilize).

I know it was just a preseason game, but I've seen a few different videos that really praised how Fano looked in his NFL debut. Good technique, great footwork.
I too have a few doubts about him being the long term LT, but was happy with what I saw Saturday. We'll see.

Here's some highlights to back your point Dutch. That said, I think we share your pov in the second statement above in the sense we'd love to be wrong with our doubts about him at LT (instead of where he excelled more at RT in Utah to the extent of winning the Outland Trophy Award). Then again, pitting him against Jared Verse in training camp looks like it did a nice job expediting his readiness for the 1st preseason battle-test. Warhop will probably remind him more than once "If you're a Warrior that won't change with where you line up and that's why we prioritized you in the draft."
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

Yeah, in an air cast. Not a good sign.
Definitely not a position we need injuries.
There's talent on this team, but the depth is scary thin at so many positions.

Wright is another guy that's always hurt. Geeze, you'd think football was dangerous or somethin'...
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
not according to this guy
Spencer Fano's debut was 'meh' Did rookie things good and bad.
Are you drinking enough beer?

If there's any good news in this - it's not like the drop-off will be huge. The Browns already know they need help at DE so they'll be more aggressive pursuing DEs getting cut than they were contemplating whether or not to sign the half-football hearted Clowney... Wright was the second of two 3rd round picks that's been okay but not irreplaceable imo. That said, I think we'll miss his experience out there.

Thankfully the NFL - who obviously cares about the health of their players - will be expanding the regular season to 18 games.
That will give the players more practice at staying healthy!

Is that true? I mean we've been expecting that shoe to fall. Odd # of games = odd # of home/away games. It was never going to stay that way...

The second the schedule went to 17 games it was just a matter of time before it will go to 18.
More is not better in this case.
10 regular season high school games... 12 college... 18 NFL games?
This is a great example of quantity over quality.

You know the NFL argument will be that they're not adding any games to the season because they'll be removing a preseason game.
Two things that are too long: Golf should be 16 holes and football should be 16 games.

And the SEC is going to 9 conference games out of 12 instead of 8 of 12. It will be murderous in this fratricidal league.

Honestly I think all regular seasons are too long.
The NBA should be about 60 games, MLB could be about 150 games, etc.

That's a rough haul for the second best football conference, for sure. ?
