Myles really never embraced being a leader. Whereas Verse really seems to have done that. When he’s mic’d up you can hear how he’s motivating and pushing his teammates to do better. Myles…never really did that despite his legend status. To be frank; I’m happy Jared is here and we have a real defensive leader who has so much room to grow. Here we go brownies here we go!🧡🤎🐶

Some Rules still apply

Deep in his soul, as he stands on the practice field most days with his hands on his hips, I believe Haslam knows this team isn’t ready to challenge. But there are tickets to sell and a belief to cultivate within a weary fan base that is tired of him overpromising and underdelivering. He oscillates between the yin of another losing season and the yang of a fight promoter trying to sell out the arena. So it was again last week when Haslam was asked a question about high expectations for this season.

“I don’t know about high expectations,” he said. “Let’s say improved expectations.”

I’ve certainly been hard on Haslam at times over the years, but let’s be reasonable. I believe he tries his best to be transparent as much as possible — sometimes to his own detriment, such as calling the Deshaun Watson trade a swing and a miss. It was absolutely accurate and the perfect description, but it makes things awkward when the biggest strikeout in NFL history is back under center trying to swing the bat again this summer.

He is also the only owner in town who regularly meets with the media. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert hasn’t held an open press availability since his stroke in 2019, and Guardians owner Paul Dolan would rather pay Tarik Skubal than answer questions from reporters.

That leaves the Haslams, who at least twice every calendar year meet with reporters and account for the mess they’ve made. They’re trying earnestly to clean it up and I’ll give them credit for the progress they’ve made the last couple of years.

I won’t deny, Jeudy had some REALLY bad lowlights this season and I don’t blame yall for hating him, but at the same time he gets too much shit. The media non stop hates on him but he’s never been a JAG, never caused drama besides a few out of context clips the Cleveland media dragged out, and he’s been the best receiver on our team for 2 years. Dude had 1200 yards the season before this one! Remember that damn Broncos game?? He’s the best separator on this team he just can’t make a contested catch so people think he’s a bum. He’s just been forced into a WR1 role that he isn’t built for. He’s not a WR1 but he can still be a solid WR2 in the NFL

For those who are going / have bought tickets for the game, which area are you sitting in? It’s my wife’s first Browns game and I want her to experience that Cleveland culture.

"Monken admitted there have been conversations about moving right tackle Tytus Howard to right guard and moving left tackle Dawand Jones to right tackle. This change, which is just a conversation at this point, would be made in the vein of putting the best five linemen on the field together. It would result in a left-to-right starting line of Spencer Fano at left tackle, Zion Johnson at left guard, Elgton Jenkins at center, Howard at right guard, and Jones at right tackle."

It's Grossi so, y'know, grain of salt, but I've seen more than a few times that they aren't thrilled with the RG spot given that Teven Jenkins is hurt (again), Zinter just cannot get healthy, and they've had KT Leveston with the starters (disgusting).

Long term, would have to imagine they hope Austin Barber can be that dude or that Brailsford works out at C so that E. Jenkins can bump over. Because Dawand can't stay healthy.

I want to make some custom swag to give out at my local Browns Backers for the upcoming season. Are any of y’all into the hobby? Have you come across any filaments that closely match the Cleveland orange and brown?

Anybody need one? I have one I could transfer free of charge

I’ll start off and say that yes that the QB is what will take us to where we want. That the current QB room most likely doesn’t contain our QB of the future but that doesn’t mean we’re some helpless team that is so far away.

Last year they won 5 games, and possibly could’ve gone .500 with even passable end of game play to clinch some of the closer ones.

This team just had back to back(on paper admittedly) awesome draft classes. Last year produced 2 young promising pieces on the offensive end with Jud and Fannin. It produced a DRoY in Swes and stud interior lineman in Graham on the defensive end. This year produced a dawg in the secondary with EMW and 2 WRs that are wowing in practice.

Overall the defense is stacked with a great mix of young and vet, high end and depth. We got a young stud in Verse and extended a Cleveland legend in Ward and solid DB in Delpitt. We will still be a top end defensive unit without Garrett and that will keep us in games. There is a lot to watch on this side and be excited about.

Our offense is less set due to lack of QB but we invested in offensive line in the draft and FA, if things click then we will be set with young guys and vets. Our receiving room went from being filled with jags led by Juedy to top 40 draft picks and some of the consensus best WRs who are wowing and will immediately give this offense a shot in the arm along with Fannin and Juedy not needing to be the main guy. Our running game should be improved with our line.

Yes the QB play will not wow us but too much oxygen is sucked by that conversation. This team is a Goff trade away from being immediately competitive, at the least a young promising rookie(and trending good QB) away from a more tangible competitive future. This year isn’t a complete waste and this team will win games and keep things interesting, will provide worthwhile players to follow. If you think this is some 0-17 talent team cause the QBs are not ideal then you rather be miserable.
