They promoted Dontrell Hilliard from the ps last week.

I heard rumors that Browns games would be carried in parts of Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain, and it appears this week it’s true. Interesting stuff.

I’m mildly optomistic about Scott. He was one of the guys who seemed to develop a rapport with Baker in the preseason along with Willies and Higgins.

Wasn’t Blake Jackson the creator of the Landry skit poking fun at his contagious rant on Hard Knocks? That was funny stuff.

He’s probably the best candidate to slide inside again. He talked the talk in training camp and Hard Knocks, so let’s see if he can walk and chew gum.

You’re not wrong. They definitely do need to do a better job of adjusting and adapting. If they can’t or won’t, then sure, make some changes. I’d rather not see a wholesale change though with new coaches implementing new schemes and new “get to know yas” and new figuring out who does what and how well, etc.

I know, and credit to them. I think for a defensive game plan the Chargers just took good notes from when we played the Ravens. Crash the tackles and keep Baker in the pocket. They just maybe tweaked it and executed better. As far as our defensive game plan, l’m at a loss as to how bad we were stopping the run, but on some of those long passes Rivers made we had DBs in position, they just didn’t execute. And then the story played out like a lot of games last year. Down early and relying on the pass to catch up, and it didn’t work. Will be interesting to see how the coaching staff responds.

Oh man, l really don’t wanna see a full blown coaching staff demolition derby.

Pluto: 23. Rivers meant a high pass over the head of a receiver with a lot of velocity can easily go off the hands of the intended target. I do think Mayfield makes some of these "high, hard ones" in terms of throws. He is generally an accurate passer, but his touch needs to improve. Me: l watched a few of Baker’s college games and don’t recall this being an issue, but l do concur he’s firing a lot of fastballs as a pro. I’m fairly certain he has a good change up, but l think something about the speed of the pro game is causing him to not use it.

First Browns stinker of the year and you are all over this board. Rising to the occasion? What’s your motivation here? Kicking people when they’re down is easy.

I must admit l’m of the opinion that the QB makes great wideouts and not the other way around. I get ponying up for Landry, but mainly because he sets the tone and raises expectations. I just don’t see the need for another big bux wideout though. Willies showed up last week fresh off the ps and made the play of the game. Who’s to say a guy like Scott might show up and do the same? In baseball they have a stat called WAR, wins above replacement, and l simply don’t think there are too many wideouts out there who would significantly crack a high enough score to merit a big contract.

In football 80% of any given team has the job of blowing up their opponent. They’re big dudes who hit weights and are athletic. Then there’s roughly 16% of the team that has a similar workout routine, and a similar job, except they are tasked with handling a ball while blowing up other dudes. And then there’s kickers. I actually like that such a critical job on a football team is held by dudes who are nothing like the rest of the team. They’re like pets!

Bummer. Scott did pretty well in preseason. Bring ‘im up.

Why don’t mosquitos like to bite clowns? Cuz they taste a little funny...
