Heard Guice got hurt but is back up with teammates. Left leg, can anyone confirm?

Henry 3 carries Lewis one. Lewis darted straight up the gut for 7. Henry 3 for 11.
Stocker has been the TE, just one. He lined up on both sides, in the backfield, and kind of a good yard or yard and a half behind the typical TE spot. He hit the DE and turned for the ball on pass plays. On run plays, he kind of got in Henry's way like a bad fullback. Didn't like it.
Tiny Nick Williams' catch was 38 yards. He and Jennings made their catches with Taylor drawing their man in addition to his. Taylor had one catch.

Yeah, probably so. Sitting him will get Hue fired and hopefully get a better coach in there. Cleveland deserves better than that turd.
He looks calm like most first drives. Fine throws, one roll out. They're doing a lot of play action and he's pretty smooth at it. Interesting that after the rollout, the D expected another run so Lewis could dart quickly.

Is Guice out with a knee injury?

Hundley with 48 or 58 yard bomb to Adams. Butler was there but not turning his head or playing CB properly...however ya word it.
Titans have lined up in 5-2 most snaps, Byard near LOS. Kind of inviting the bomb. The five include two OLBs on the LOS with hand down.
Williams catch and score. He didn't catch the ball smoothly and Jayon Brown got smoked badly. Ugly play for Brown. GB Announcers loved Williams run calling the move a slice. I wasn't that impressed. He ran diagonally away from a stumbling defender. IMO he should have done that and maybe catch the ball cleaner.
I never saw the deep safety. Camera was meh
Previous, should have said, Packers LBs look smallish. I'd totally predict success for Henry against this group.

Nice move on that deep ball from Him medley. Had Butler beat but still set it up upfield as Butler closed and then went outside to the ball at the last second making the play.

I saw one carry and I was sold on reaching, then I heard he hurt his knee and crossed him off my draft board.

Brian Daboll's offense in Buffalo is going to be a breath of fresh air compared to Rick Dennison. They don't have a ton of talent, but don't be surprised if they are better than you may expect.
Top 5-wr potential. He was knocked out of 2 games with vicious hits in 2017. He left another game in 2016 in concussion protocol. I'm not sure if he's concussion-prone given the viciousness of the hits - he has recovered quickly.

Christ, someone get a gun and take Davis Webb out back. It’s like they have Chuck Knoblauch with a howitzer at QB.
Packer led with helmet, not called which is weird for preseason when they emphasize new rules and enforce penalties a bit extra usually. Delanie (not on offense) got a holding penalty on the KO.
Gabbert in
One short pass to Firkser and he does look pretty good. Williams dropped one and Lewis only got one yard.
Pack punt return man Hollins was hit, well-timed, and fumbled. Pack recovered. I couldn't see who hit him. I thought Sims. Didn't show replay. Byard was the other gunner which is oh so odd for an All pro

Did you see Taylor go 5/5 at 20ypc against the first teamers?
Everyone I've heard from Browns camp say Taylor is clearly ahead of Mayfield. Which he obviously should be. But the point is even if it were open competition, Taylor would be winning.

Tajae first down
Taylor short catch, doubled all game thus far
Fluellen with a nice run but Pamphile holding
Fluellen another good run. 6? yards
Bad WR screen call to Sharpe. Lucky Packers CB gets called for holding on press to start. Why call a screen when the corners are pressing
Filo holding, Burks had a big hit on the play
Titans timeout just before delay of game. UGLY drive for a second unit that's been getting tons of reps in camp and spring even.
Gabbert very deep drop, overthrew Sharpe. Facemask on 58 Packers
3 WRs or 4 WRs on passing plays, a TE playing FB on running plays this drive.
Encroachment pack. NFL or not, make these units run at practice tomorrow. This is so ugly.
The FB is awfully predictable, so Fluellen cuts back nicely and makes something out of nothing.

I have to see this, I'm moving over to that game soon.
I've been watching every team's first couple of drives on gamepass and honestly every offense player I'd normally be watching looks good - which I suppose means no one actually looks good and that it's just preseason.

Ok, just got home from work and started watching CLE @ NYG. Umm, yeah, so this Barkley fella is gonna be good. I own him in 1/2 dynasty leagues and have avoided him so far in re-drafts but I may have to rethink this one. I know it's only 1 play (talking about his 1st carry), but man, that was a great run.

Neither is Chubb. D.J. Moore didn’t do much and RoJo went 7 for 7 yds, no catches.

I'm pretty sure that was his first touch, he's definitely pretty quick for a big man. I liked what I saw before the attempted hurdle/fumble.
Gabbert overthrows Sharpe again. Fluellen shifted out of backfield to make it 4 WR set.
Fluellen earned four there
Screen to Fluellen, very fast Burks right there. Only 3 yards
4th down, Wadley in. Simple one cut route then burst for a first down catch at sideline. Burks covered. Geesh put the rook in for a fourth down conversion. Nice test
Wadley with absolutely nowhere to go by LG. Pack had 400 players there.
Gabbert throws it away
BTW Gilbert doing pretty well for Pack
Whitehead chasing Gabbert, again thrown away
Succup to kick

He dropped his first target. He felt someone breathing down his neck and bobbled/dropped it.
He made a great blitz pickup with Tannehill in the game. He's not as good between the tackles as Gore or Drake. He only has value if Drake goes down IMO. He's still in there in the 2nd half. Coach Gase has said he needs to play special teams, so he should be active most games.

I don’t want to jump the gun but Nick Chubb doesn’t look good. Little power, little vision, panic bouncing to the outside and his speed that I thought he had in college hasn’t flashed tonight. Could be line play but it also hasn’t looked great on his end.

Jackson's plan to discipline Callaway is play him so much that he gets very tired. Smart.

Mayfield scrambles and hits Callaway on the sideline. Callaway with a toe drag. Called incomplete on the field, under review. Looks like a catch to me.
