tiamat63 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 11 hours ago, Orion said: The article states that the running game was pretty much stuffed. Does that mean that our defense is really good or is our OL not good. We'll probably gauge that better when we get to practicing against the Colts. (It IS the Colts that we practice against, right?) I didn't see it that way. Granted the explosive runs weren't there, which is a good indicator of the defense. But the methodical yardage had its moments between Chubb and Hilliard. The- not--flashy early down 3 and 4 yard carries still worked. Which I was ok seeing today. Shows the dline is getting it done and we're commited to grinding things out without big gains. Even with the Oline still trying to find its best 5 and rhythm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibleedbrown Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 https://www.brownszone.com/2019/07/27/freddie-kitchens-is-driving-the-bus-now-so-healthy-players-wear-full-uniforms-and-spend-practice-with-teammates/ A bit of a write up on Kitchen’s twist on the “pitch count” for vet players. He apparently likes his healthy players in uniforms and being involved with their teammates throughout all sessions whether they participate in certain drills or not. He’s not a fan of the stationary bike. Not a bad idea methinks. Keeps everyone involved and gives the vets a chance to offer insight to the younger dudes instead of pedaling away in the distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 So we finished up camp day 4 with a dust up between Pharoah Brown & Chad Thomas 🥊Freddie has whole team line-up for some old HS gassers..Chad Thomas flips off a fan for telling Chad to "hustle" both kickers miss game winning practice kicks & am waiting for Freddie to hit the mic 🎤(edit--Ogun than Richardson two good pressers,Ogun ain't scared of getting any DT.."that just boosted my level" Richardson is a real fun jokester..than a Jimmy & Dee sighting at presser..no freddie presser yet,seems to be handling some biz?

A tough running RB with speed and decisiveness. They are why we can produce with lesser OTs when it comes to PassPro...

Kitchens seems like he's deadly serious about practice, and I LIKE it. Really interesting read today on Freddie's use of analytics to fuel his emphasis on where "the line" is in practicing and how going over the line is why players are most often hurt in the opening five days of Camp followed by the first 8 to 10 day period. Apparently Takitaki is becoming an expert in Camp injury stats after all the lectures on "control" he's been getting... Quote The first five days of camp give plenty of reasons to make a coach nervous. The injury data, cultivated from years and years of analysis of training camps across the league, is near the top. Freddie Kitchens gave one of his longest answers of the day Friday when he was asked about certain players being on "pitch counts" during this portion of training camp. Clearly, it's something that was on the top of his mind. "Most injuries occur in the first five days of training camp and if you want to extend it even more, it is the first eight to 10 days of training camp," Kitchens said. "So, we are trying to be conscious of that. There is only one way to get in football condition and that is actually playing football. I do not really care what they have done until they put pads on and they start running routes on a consistent basis and getting in huddle and running more routes. They never build endurance. "The difference between endurance and being in shape is continuing to play over and over and over again to continue to play plays and not coming out. That is how you build endurance. And once you have endurance you can eliminate injuries. Yes, a bunch of our guys are on kind of pitch counts right now, just from the standpoint of we understand that that is the most immediate threat to injury, is these first five to eight days. Soft tissue injuries." https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/brownscamp-daily-greedy-williams-impresses-jarvis-landry-s-wow-moment-and-damari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT... they, and especially their inside comrades, have to establish the run sans Zeitler. This was actually what I was kicking around in my head yesterday (as I posted such). The reason the Oline works is because we have the receivers, the running game, and what looks like a competent interior enough to facilitate the ball action game. In drills it's a rough looking group. On the field? - They can be adequate. Where do we run into problems? When you ask Baker and this Oline to start moving the chains on 3rd and 6+ off straight drops. The Bakester is showing improvement, but at times he still has a penchant for getting wild with it. Either it's something sweet or it's something like the first half of the Texans game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cleveland Browns have signed C John Yarbrough. To make room on the roster, the team waived C Lo Falemaka (shoulder) with an injury designation. Yarbrough (6-4, 302) is an undrafted rookie out of Richmond and played in 39 career games with 28 starts. A 2018 All-CAA second-team selection, Yarbrough helped protect an offense that threw for 2,906 yards and 15 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,206 yards. He’s a native of Homewood, Ala.
