The last few days of training camp?   If he was such a concern, why would they wait until the last few days of training camp to bring in a bunch of kickers that couldn't beat him out?   Again, we're talking about a guy that made 25 of 29 FGs last year so what changed so much we cut him for Cody Parkey?

 

 

As Paul Harvey would say...."Now for the REST of the story"...

He also made 25 of 30 PATs last year & missed his one & only PAT attempt THIS year.

This isn't a Parkey endorsement, just a more complete look at Seibert's performance.

If I had known that I would not have picked TE Hunter Henry as my last pick in my FFL earlier this week. Think I will see how he does and if he does not produce, drop him when we have adds & drops after week 5. Meanwhile he sits on my sidelines every week until proven he and Taylor can connect. I still think the rookie QB will take over at some point when they see how poorly Taylor performs. Not as bad as Kizer, but a close second. They'd be better off with JFF (that one was just for Zombo & Tour).🤣

About 3-4 weeks would be about right.....an injury perhaps, rookie comes in, wins, & it's "bye-bye" Tyrod again.

Mike

Yeah, I have waited a long time to watch a Browns Team methodically march downfield rather than throwing the ball up for grabs. I'm hoping I'll see a new "M.O." starting this week.

Mike

Nope, I'm all in too.

I'm a 73 year old VietNam Vet & don't approve of public demonstrations (kneeling during the Anthem, etc), so I will refrain from watching until kickoff. That being said, I understand that others have as much right TO demonstrate as I have NOT to. Let's just keep all demonstrations non violent & not judge, make fun of, or belittle others for their viewpoints & beliefs.

GO BROWNS!!!

Mike

My opinions:

1..Jimmy Brown..He stands alone!

2..Barry Sanders..Did more with nothing around him. Most underrated.

3..Walter Payton..What a work ethic!

4..Gale Sayers..Riddled with injuries but the most beautiful runner I ever saw!

5..Pick who you like. Many greats, but all others are a drop from the Fantastic 4.

I'd love for Dawson to mentor Siebert...

Also remember, it took a while before Phil Dawson became Phil Dawson, Browns kicking legend. He was a guy in danger of losing his job at the beginning of his run - like most kickers. 

Yep. Phil got better with time and, as stated previously, he knew those winds like the back of his hand. He would be a great addition, but we don't know whether or not HE would be interested OR considered.

Phil didn't conquer those winds overnight, so we need to be patient with Siebert as well.

Back to Training Camp....I enjoy Mike Priefer's pressers. The guy is straight forward & takes on all questions with some humor as well. I think a good move was made by retaining him.

I like Harrison Bryant a lot. He has, among other things, the 2 things I find most lacking in Njoku.....HEART & PASSION for the game. Those can't be taught. You either have them or you don't. I think Bryant's a football player. I don't think Njoku is. Don't get me wrong....I don't doubt for a minute Njoku's talent & ability. Many "flops" have had those. The INTANGIBLES are the difference.

Have your fun Tia. You don't need to like or agree with other's posts, but if making fun of others makes you feel like a big man, go for it boy.

I'm done with the punks on this board.

I'll be buying some too. Even if I fail to win, I will not have lost.

That being said, I would be really shocked if the Browns end up paying Nick Chubb when he comes up for free agency either. He's probably the most universally liked player on this team by the fans, but paying a ton of money for a RB with four or so years under their belt is probably the least analytics thing ever. 

I almost posted as you did, but thought saying it might start a war on the board due to Chubb's popularity. That being said, Chubb just may be one of those backs with long term value.

Here's the problem the Browns may have had with the idea of giving Schobert a big contract...

Myles Garrett, Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward and Nick Chubb are all better or more important, and all will command big contracts too. (Garrett already got his)

I believe you may have nailed it. Unfortunately, in today's NFL, you can't keep them all but it's always tough to lose a high character, productive, loyal guy like Joe. It's a coin toss & I worry a bit about Ward's long term durability. Good LBs tend to have long & productive careers, so we'll see. Time will tell

To be honest with you....it has been forever and ever since I went to Pizza Hut, and there is one just about a mile from me.  I always get my Pizza elsewhere.   

Our  go to sit down  place for Pizza  is Angie's in Barberton.    We also do Luigi's downtown Akron when we can .   For carryout, we usually do Antonio's.

What are your  "Go To"  pizza places   for sit down and for carry out.?

Gip,

Angie's was a fave sit down place back in the '60s when living in Wadsworth, but it has changed. Still good though.

Sit down: Luigi's has been & still is our fave sit down place even though we now live in North Canton.

Carryout: Double cheese, double pepperoni, well done at Pizza Oven in Canton & Pepperoni Magnifico @ Marco's in North Canton (great pizza & an UNBELIEVABLE veteran's discount). I refused that discount during this pandemic until their business picked back up.

Ohio's Three Venomous Snake Specieswhat it wasThe three venomous snakes in Ohio are the Northern Copperhead, the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake, and the Timber Rattlesnake. (Despite what you may have heard or believed you have seen, to date no cottonmouths/water moccasins have been found in Ohio.)Apr 15, 2020

Texas Ag was talking about Texas, but you are right about Ohio's "Toxic Trio". One of my fishing buddies is terrified of snakes & screamed "MOCCASIN!" one day while we were on a local pond a couple years ago. I went over & saw a damn big water snake laying by a bridge abutment, told him what it was, that there are no moccasins in Ohio, then I reached down & spooked it into the pond (never was able to lay a hand on it). He didn't go near that bridge the rest of the day & we never saw that snake again!

In fact, the only venomous snake I ever came across was a small (8" or so) massasauga rattler.

Mike

Baker will be fine! No blame placing on others by him. He takes responsibility for his shortcomings & is obviously also taking action. I still say the kid is the "Real Deal" & we'll not regret his being a Brown.

Sunday AM - 56 minutes ago, Atlanta 11 news.   

ATLANTA — Atlanta police say former four-time Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl linebacker Chip Banks is in serious condition following a shooting.

Atlanta police spokeswoman Marla Rooker says officers found three men with apparent gunshot wounds when responding to a shooting in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon. 

One of the victims, Charles Pharms Jr., was declared dead at the scene, according to Rooker. The other two victims were alert and transported to a local hospital.....police are still investigating.

Hmm, "Pharms"....might he be related to old Browns' draftee, LB Jeremiah Pharms (who had serious off field issues)??

Mike

John Mackey?

OH! Tony Gonzalez.

Here's a GREAT ready made snack for all you sharp cheese lovers..It's ALWAYS in my fridge & at my parties/tailgates! It's one of the most popular things I serve. I also gift this to my old friend & eating, beer drinking, & Browns' buddy (Fr Pat) a few times a year. 

Individually vacuum sealed planks of 14 month old Cabot's "seriously sharp" cheddar, available at BJ's Wholesale Club. PERFECT with a cold beer!

I could probably do the bake.  It's not like I don't like a Philly, I just don't like sloppy over stuffed sandwiches.  Heck, I eat pizza with a fork and knife.

 

I just don't like eating with my hands if possible.  Chicken wings is about it unless we are talking some fast food burger or hotdog, but you have a wrapper on the thing. And it is the small ones.  If it comes in a box and not a wrapper, I am not going to eat it driving down the street.  Go somewhere with half lb burger, got to use a fork.  Even a grilled cheese gets a fork.  Just me.  I don't go to Dennys or Waffle House and eat my omelet and hash browns with my hands.  Why would a large burger be any different?  I don't want various juices and condiments dripping down my chin in to my lap or on my shirt.   I just prefer to use utensils.

Ditto for me on all the above, but especially the highlighted items. The first request I have at a restaurant is extra napkins/wipes.

I'm with you here 'peen.
