You cannot possibly be comparing us to the current snowflake generation can you?  The everybody gets a trophy, you can't tell them they made a mistake, generation?  No, that pendulum swung back way past us. 

I sure can, take the guy who upvoted your comment for example.

That boomer is the biggest snowflake on this board. He got so butthurt one time that he demanded to get thrown off this board, only to have to crawl back because no one in his real life pays attention to him.

If Anthony Schwartz was to give us more WR speed going into KC? He might want to get some meaningful reps come preseason games...

 

our defense, is taking the camp injury hits.. and has built little to no continuity...

 Jags Saturday night... Who are you playing/sitting?...my guess is 2's/3's & 4's? and we look to be missing some of those projected pieces too... Pre-season!..It's a fine time to find out your teams depth... but...man! let's start getting some defensive bodies back too...🤞

We're in somewhat uncharted waters with the shortened preseason.  

When, and how much of a 'tune up' do the starters get.  Is it game 2?  3?  

If I were to guess I'd say starters for a half (or even less) of game 3.  And 2nd half is the last ditch effort for guys to make the team.

Pre-season ='s Vanilla football...I'm fine with one series of both (clean health) starters.. than yank both.. Inter-squad with Giants..nobody see's nuttin..(and we don't play them) I've heard (nfl radio) gm.2, is the closest thing to a real starter tune-up game...Game 3, now becomes your final bottom of the roster cut down game.. (ours is slim)

believe nothing...till ya see it !

You almost want to think that the strategy would be league wide.  I mean, in preseason games you really don't want your starters in there against 3rd stringers because the two teams have totally different ideas on how the 'new' preseason games should be handled.

Greedy defends his spot.. while Newsome seems to bring a bigger dawg bite... Get Ready!🍿

Who's a fan of just putting your best players on the field?

The twist is..Greg Newsome is seeing inside slot reps, that kick Troy Hill to the outside 🤔.. and Baker is only finding the small windows of NfL open...with JJ3 lurking..

count me in, as one to be watching this play out..

Cross training is the Brown's goal. I guess that could create some significant playing time if there is an injury or some mild sickness. And, maybe creating some good mismatches at certain times...

Splitting Time: Top draft choice, CB Greg Newsome said that he has been working every day inside at the slot position, in addition, to his time on the outside. He said he estimated the split is about 60 percent on the outside and 40 percent on the inside.

"You're trying to cross-train all of these guys," Stefanski said. "He's coming along and doing a nice job."

Stefanski said he expected all of the rookies that are healthy to play on Saturday, including top pick CB Greg Newsome. Stefanski said the second-year players will also see a lot of time. 

Case Keenum is expected to start at quarterback, followed by Kyle Lauletta

Injury Update: There was no specific update by Stefanski before practice on the players who have been missing practice including, S Grant Delpit (hamstring), Tony Fields (foot), DE Myles Garrett (hamstring), G Blake Hance (ankle), S Ronnie Harrison (hamstring), WR Alexander Hollins (hamstring), DT Malik McDowell (rib), LB Montrel Meander (hamstring), Njoku (shoulder), S Sheldrick Redwine (ankle), WR Anthony Schwartz (hamstring), CB Denzel Ward (soreness).

 

Cut Downs Coming: The Browns and the rest of the NFL will have to trim their roster from 90 to 85 by Tuesday Aug. 17 and then to 80 by Tuesday Aug. 24, before the final roster cut down to 53 on Tuesday Aug. 31.

Anybody watching the live stream of the giants browns practice?

 

browns look gooooood

Saw some highlights on Twitter feeds.  Summary.  (Edit: video above is better)

Njoku, Landry had big days.  Baker looked crisp he put a few balls in tight windows where Giants were in position but we made the play. We appeared to do whatever we wanted on offense minus a few would have been sacks or so Giants media mentioned.  The Giants had trouble with our playmakers. 

The Browns media across the Board seemed to think the Browns performed well. 

Newsome made a nice play to undercut a route from Slayton arguably the best Giants WR on a pass from Danny Dimes.  We seemed to have trouble with Evan Engram.  Lots of key guys out for us.  Looked like Giants oline 1 vs Browns second team DLine a lot. They were missing Toney and Barkley.

The WR room.......and Felton.

OBJ, Landry, DPJ, Schwartz are locked in.  How many slots are left?  2......3?   There's Higgins, Hodge, Davion Davis (who's been quite good), J'Marcus Bradley, Jo-Jo Natson....and, Felton?  If you put Felton with the RB's then you're keeping 4 of them because D'E hasn't done a thing wrong.  (from what we've seen, Felton seems better suited as a smurf receiver or a passing game RB motioning somewhere to try and find a LB coverage matchup)

So, 2 or 3 WR spots and Higgins, Hodge and Davion Davis (lets assume Bradley & Natson are not in the mix).  That opens the possibility of 16 guys toting the ball around (not counting QB's).  7 WR's, 4 TE's, 4 RB's 1 FB.  Heck, let's keep Stanton too and make it a full 3rd of the roster.  :)  

...I'm hoping that we don't have to let Davion Davis get snapped up by another team.

I agree, we need to keep Davis.  I know Higgy is liked by many, but is he so good he can't be replaced?

I like Davis too, but l’d be real surprised if Higgins is the guy left off the roster to make room for him. I see Higgins as the Chris Hubbard of the wide receiver room. There’s little chance the team cuts Hubbard because he’s our best bet at Tackle in case either starter goes down, and as we saw last year Higgins is the same for the wideouts. Statistically Higgins filled the role of WR #1 in some of the games last year after OBJ went on IR, and he did it rather well.

We don’t have to move on Davis until his suspension ends.  I believe he’s protected from being picked up the first two weeks of the season

 

Yeah, the suspension news came out after I posted my thoughts.
