In all seriousness I am not expecting Shon Coleman, Jeff Janis, Kindred (I read he's only played 7 snaps on defense this preseason), Cajuste (Unless DeValve gets cut) to make the team.
I fully expect Nassib to make the team.

I actually expect Cajuste to make it over DeValve. Like I've said before 'can't make the club if you're always in the tub." Dude hasn't played in a game this preseason and he's not one of Dorsey's guys.
posted by Commander of AwesomeI heard Kenny Britt got cut, we should kick the tires on him. Would be a great vet to help mentor and cheaper than Dez Bryant.... oh wait.
There will be some decent/unexpected guys available. If they can upgrade the D-Line, O-Line or LB depth, I'm all for it.

Not surprising but still great to read. I'm trying not to get too carried away as I've been down this road too many times. But I feel better and better about the Mayfield selection by the day.

The only thing that might skew the numbers a bit is that Darnold & Allen have probably had more action against the 1's than Mayfield. Still pretty excited about what I've seen from him so far.
He's the only QB on this roster that is able to consistently get large chunks of yardage through the air.
Besides the fact the Browns haven't been consistently good, my biggest concern in the first two games (Pittsburgh & New Orleans) is that they won't be able to score enough points against those offenses.
I think the defense will be pretty darn good but I've set my baseline for the defense to be less than 20 points per game. If they can hold teams to that figure, or under, they will win a good chunk of games. I'd hope that TT could muster 21 points of offense.

I expect Janis to. Cajuste is an interesting case, 50/50 for me.
Hasn't DeValve been hurt the entire preseason?

Yeah, quad issue I think.

Pretty sure that's been it. Only way I can see him making the squad is if they go off his previous track record and I'm not sure that will buy him a spot on the roster. I like him but you have to see the field.

I still think he makes the team. He's athletic AF, good team guy, etc....
Nice! Need this guy back for the D-Line rotation....
Also, off topic, and I know I've mentioned this before...but whether he (Sashi) botched the trade or did it on purpose, I am SO glad that AJ McCarron deal fell through. The Bills look like they have turned into the (previous) Browns and are going to be the worst team in football. They are pulling a former "Browns" by trotting Josh Allen out there already.
PLEASE don't screw up....

Agreed, Bills are just dreadful. Oline is shit, WRs are shit, and QB play is shit. It's amazing to see how badly they have bungled their roster through the yrs. Go back and look at their old WR core:
Watkins
Woods
Goodwin
Just crazy how they have nothing to show for it.
Demarius Randall out of town getting a 2nd opinion. Would be bad if he's out.

And if the dumbasses were smart, they would've kept TT and then drafted their QB. Instead, they bring in Garbage McCarron and Peterman may actually be better.
Funny part is a lot of their fans think Allen is going to be the savior. Don't buy into the hype of the rook lighting up 2nd teamer's (versus the Browns). Cincinnati's front four brought him back down to earth.
O-Line is horrible....traded Cordy Glenn, Eric Wood is forced to retire and Incognito is gone...60% of their starting line...POOF
Know it was only preseason but the Browns made their run defense their bitches too.

Still early, but this is why I was more pissed about the fact they were even trying to trade away a pick. I didn't give a fuck that they "botched" it. It was a blessing in disguise. McCarron is trash. He couldn't beat out Dalton and that is all you need to know.

Wasn't there someone on here, at the time, saying McCarron was going to be a "good QB?" Bengals fan I thought?

My bet would be on Azu. He overvalued every player on the Bengals.

Good call. I think it might have been.

Not great, but I wasn't expecting him to be amazing at FS. He's a converted CB and is clear he is a total moron. I just hope we don't fuck around and play BBC there when I think he's an amazing slot corner (a more valuable position IMO).
For ex. Eric Reid, Tre Boston (unless he signed somewhere and I missed it?), Tyvon Branch, Kenny Vaccaro are all available. Go sign one of them if you need a FS due to Randall being hurt.
On Hard Knocks, that reply of Tyrod’s left hand injury. God damn.
Jesus...

Wow. US Attoney in Philadelphia announces criminal charges of conspiracy against #Browns LB Mychal Kendricks and a global investment banker, and says they engaged in an insider trading deal.
And Kendricks admitted his guilt in a written statement. He gone...
Just when you think you have seen/heard it all with the Browns.
