2025 Cleveland Browns - OTAs (4 Viewers)

[beer 30]

just heard on radio, Wills to short term IR, should be back this season.

I know we've all kinda **** on Jed but he is what he is and I did not want to see him go out this way. Ravens gotta be chomping at the bit now. Stefanski is going to be tested this week putting together the offensive plan. I think he's done a better job this year game planning and with in-game adjustments than any other year he's been here. We'll see what he's got this week.

Bill Callahan is like a secret weapon. i was so happy when they signed him.

Bill will have someone ready to play LT with a week to prepare.

i'm not saying it will be perfect, but i would be shocked if that position is a big liability in the Ravens game.

Well, we already had a liability at LT, so this shouldn't be much different. Jones though...

A liability yes but you knew what you had. Now you don't have either bookend so you're going to slide people around which puts people in positions they aren't used to. Continuity is one of the things that make an OL good. Bitonio said he play wherever but it isn't his forte. Then you gotta backfill at G. Just gums everything up bringing in new guys and shuffling around.

I may be the crazy one, but I'm more concerned about CB than the OL.

Reason for concern on both fronts but I'm still more worried about the OL. Hope we're both wrong

 

[amnesiac]

Wills was actually playing better lately.

not great, but better.

 

[amnesiac]

division is wide open now for the Browns.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Hell ya!

 

[amnesiac]

if they beat the Steelers, at worst they are tied with everyone in the division for head to head tiebreakers.

 

[Dez]

So gald to be wrong I figured no chance we could win this game then down 24-9 I mean what were chances ? Not great Bob. What a FN win what a FN win.

 

[Galileo]

if they beat the Steelers, at worst they are tied with everyone in the division for head to head tiebreakers.

I wish we could get that week two game back...

 

[Soulfly3]

growing pains... but the PIT and the SEA games would've been Ws for a more veteran team.

we'll get there. we're for REAL.

 

[Soulfly3]

Going to try and catch some of the "talking heads" on TV today (skip, stphen a, cowherd etc) to see if the Browns are FINALLY gonna get respect as a threat...

They always name 10 teams and we're never one of them. We should have been. There ain't no way we're not now.

 

[beer 30]

Have never been so happy to be wrong pretty much ever! What a win!!

 

[amnesiac]

Browns were never winning at any point during that game.

ball goes through the uprights as the clock hits zero.

 

[amnesiac]

soooo... who are we rooting for on Thursday?

 

[Soulfly3]

we have beaten CIN, SF and BAL.

Let that soak in.

3 teams that MANY have or have had as legit SB contenders

 

[amnesiac]

we have beaten CIN, SF and BAL.

Let that soak in.

3 teams that MANY have or have had as legit SB contenders

and they're really not even playing up to their full potential yet.

only thing that worries me is all of the injuries. they seem to be piling up.

 

[beer 30]

soooo... who are we rooting for on Thursday?

The bus drivers...to wreck

 

[Bracie Smathers]

It's victory Monday Dawgs.

[Galileo]

Accidentally posted this in the Watson thread, and figured I would add it here.

Love seeing this team work, but like the poster, I am most amused by Elijah Moore in this scrum

ETA: Oops...thought I was in the Browns thread...

 

[amnesiac]

what do they do at QB now?

they have to sign someone, no?

 

[beer 30]

It's really amazing the **** show that the Cleveland Browns can be. Watson on season ending IR with a multitude of injuries. I don't know who slept with who's significant other to cause this multi-generational curse but I hope it is lifted before I die. **** me

 

[Insein]

what do they do at QB now?

they have to sign someone, no?

Who's left to sign?

 

[beer 30]

what do they do at QB now?

they have to sign someone, no?

PJ Walker ride or die

 

[Drake Hater]

They'd be set with Brissett but alas...

 

[Galileo]

They'd be set with Brissett but alas...

Or Dobbs, but...

 

[Capella]

Didn’t know Dobbs was on the roster in the preseason. Yikes.

 

[Drake Hater]

They'd be set with Brissett but alas...

Or Dobbs, but...

Oof. That stings

 

[Truebluey]

Ouch. My set it and forget it Def for the rest of the season just took a big hit. Might have to pivot to the Eagles.

 

[amnesiac]

what do they do at QB now?

they have to sign someone, no?

Who's left to sign?

can't roll with 2 QBs, what happens if Walker gets injured? DTR?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

There goes the Browns hopes of having any type of impact in the Playoffs if they can even get there now

-All Pro RB OUT for the seaosn
-Pro Bowl QB OUT for the season

Just awful

 

[Bracie Smathers]

That divorced guy is out there. Is Phil Rivers available? Matt Ryan has said he’d come out of retirement for a contender.
Have to think Brady is itching to show he can still sling it, he must be hovering over his phone waiting for a call.

 

[Insein]

Brady winning the Browns a super bowl would be the last insult to Belichek.

 

[beer 30]

Yea that one kinda writes itself, doesn't it?

I'd have to think Matt Ryan coming out of the booth would mirror what Cutler did when he came out of the booth. Completely imploded and quit after that game.

Is Brady a partial owner of an NFL team? If so, he wouldn't be eligible to play I'd think...

I would rather them give DTR a full week of 1st Team reps and build around him for this week at least. PJ Walker is a turnover machine, so I don't want him playing Pittsburgh.

Others of note....Colt McCoy....Nick Foles....Is Testeverde still sitting on a couch somewhere?

 

[Soulfly3]

This is all part of the greatest story ever told.

This season will be talked about for decades to come....

(just shut up and let me have it)

 

[amnesiac]

Brady winning the Browns a super bowl would be the last insult to Belichek.

honestly, i'd take a Brady Super Bowl win.

zero running threat, but i'd think he'd be able to make the screen game work.

i would like to think with the defense and the running game, we just need someone that can run the offense and not turn the ball over.

Foles has about a 2:1 TD:INT ratio on his career. i don't know much about his game beyond that.

 

[amnesiac]

seriously if they roll with Walker and DTR, they are punting on this season, and i'm not sure that's going to end well for Stefanski and Berry.

 

[Soulfly3]

so, Watson played 2.5 quarters w a high ankle sprain and a destroyed shoulder.

that's mega balls. MEGA. and he pulled off the win. i love the guy.

 

[Teef]

Is DTR worth a fantasy pickup?

 

[beer 30]

seriously if they roll with Walker and DTR, they are punting on this season, and i'm not sure that's going to end well for Stefanski and Berry.

Berry said they are happy with the room as is but will be bringing in a third QB so that they carry 2 on the active roster and 1 on the practice squad.

 

[Insein]

DRT to start

 

[beer 30]

PJ Walker ride or die

DTR ride or die

 

[amnesiac]

DRT to start

he's had a few more weeks to get ready, so who knows?

(not holding my breath.)

 

[amnesiac]

PJ Walker ride or die

DTR ride or die

so his first two starts as a rookie will be Baltimore and... Pittsburgh.

they're really setting this kid up for success, aren't they??

 

[amnesiac]

Is DTR worth a fantasy pickup?

The 2023 fifth-round pick has appeared in three games, throwing for 130 yards and three interceptions on 37 attempts.

 

[beer 30]

they're really setting this kid up for success, aren't they??

THIS...IS...CLEVELAND!!!!

 

[Peak]

he's had a few more weeks to get ready, so who knows?

(not holding my breath.)

Glad you're on our side Mr. Positive!

We've seen his floor with a no notice, no practice start vs Balt. Let's see what a week of prep will do for him vs Pitt. It can only go up from here.

 

[Major]

What record do you think CLE ends the season with? That amazing D should keep them competitive but I see 9-8 type finish.

10-7, optimistically 11-6
