I would think that a certified representative of The Browns Board could qualify as a member of the "Cleveland Media". How would one be credentialed? Perhaps Kathy or Z could give you something that would qualify. Do you.....or does anyone else want the job? Westside Steve could perhaps qualify. If I am not mistaken, he still writes movie reviews for some magazine in town. I think he used to do so for The Scene Magazine. (but no longer).

gumby73 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Day 2 news nuggets... 1) Fifty-five players on the Browns’ 90-man roster were on the field Wednesday, with a significant defensive contingent led by Garrett. Cornerback Denzel Ward, linebacker Anthony Walker and tackles Malik Jackson and Andrew Billings were among the expected starters to participate. 2) INJURY REPORT Five of the 55 players watched the action as they deal with injuries: safety Grant Delpit, rookie receiver Anthony Schwartz, rookie linebacker Tony Fields II, receiver/returner JoJo Natson and defensive tackle Malik McDowell.(McDowell practiced in rookie minicamp last month but not Wednesday with an unknown injury.) Delpit missed all of his rookie season in 2020 with a ruptured Achilles tendon and said last week he’s on track to be 100 percent for the start of training camp in late July. Natson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 3 last year. Fields suffered a foot injury before rookie minicamp and is in a walking boot. Schwartz’s left leg was in a sleeve, but Stefanski said he’s fine. The speedster was a third-round pick out of Auburn. 3) CALL HIM SLASH Rookie sixth-round pick Demetric Felton is listed as a running back but went through receiver drills to open practice. After dropping a couple of passes in individual drills, he made a couple of nice grabs in team work. “Versatility is a big deal,” Stefanski said. “Demetric played running back and wide receiver previously in college. He has done both with us already. He has been in both meetings. There have been times he is a running back for that day and a wide receiver the next day. “It does speak to his versatility. It speaks to his ability to mentally handle that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiamat63 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'm all about being sensible to help save mother Gaia. But my white ass ain't driving a Prius to football practice. I'll stick with my Honda and if I want to really cut back on gas for my 10min commute, I'll take a Ducati 696, stealth grey. Also open to other more "naked" euro bikes.

Spoke to a Falcons fan at work yesterday.. He's big on us trading Kareem Hunt for Julio Jones.👀 Plus our mid-rounder next season..Falcons need a feature RB in the worst way.. How much do we like Felton & De'Ernest behind Chubby? Julio at 32..I just can't see us adding that JJ cap number...

I really like the Kareem Hunt angry running style and I think he’s a perfect complement to Chubb and an elite pass catcher out of the backfield. There were times this past year where Hunt had the hot hand when the holes weren’t opening up. Hunt gets those 4/5 yard gains when nothing is there and I’ll take the insurance of having hunt or Chubb if god forbid one of them goes down Call me crazy but I think he’s a better option in this offense than Julio. But I don’t know what we do with Chubb Hunt Djohnson and Felton - is there a way to keep them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I witnessed at Titans game live last season👀 still bothers me.. Baker can't see Hunt thru them tall trees.. We made a adjustment at halftime, that had Baker tossing to a soft zone area where Hunt would than appear..That was a nice site adjustment on the coaching staffs part, that we have not seen here in a while...Credit Baker also I don't see a way of keeping all 4 RB's... And as we saw last season... The 4 protected* PS players can be swooped up, with a trade directly after a game... which...(That needs fixed NFL) Berry might favor Felton over De'Ernie at this point? BUtt...De'Ernest was the last protector before the punter..De'Ernest would also not shy away from tackling folks on special teams either . Can Felton do any of this besides returning kicks? Stay tuned....cause that's what these camps have the purpose of deciding... EDIT---- JOK has signed his rookie deal 👍 https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/04/cleveland-browns-sign-2nd-round-draft-pick-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
