Some Notes on the Browns

mittenedman : 8/8/2018 5:07 pm
*The Browns had a similar offseason to the Giants in that they brought in a new Offensive scheme (Todd Haley) and a new GM (John Dorsey) with solid track records. This game is something of an unveiling for both teams looking to establish a new identity.

*Debut of #1 overall pick QB Baker Mayfield. Tyrod Taylor will start and play a series or 2. The plan is to play Mayfield for 2 quarters. He's reportedly been very accurate and a good fit in Haley's quick release O. The Browns 2nd string OL has been terrible in camp.

*With Joe Thomas retiring, the Browns moved LG Joel Bitonio to LT. He'll get a stiff test from Olivier Vernon. Austin Corbett - who the Browns took over Will Hernandez in the 2nd round - starts at LG.

*RDE Myles Garrett has been terrorizing the Browns offense in practice. Garrett needs to stay healthy but has the looks of a #1 overall pick. Will be interesting to see how Solder handles him.

*The other high pick - CB Denzel Ward - will be matched up on Odell Beckham. (If OBJ plays.) The Browns are anxious to see how he performs.

*Rookie RB Nick Chubb is expected to be a major player for them, and like Mayfield, will get a heavy workload in this game. The Browns have a strong backfield with Chubb, Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson. Good early test for the Giants LBs.

*The Browns have already had their full contact Orange and Brown scrimmage so they may be ahead of where the Giants are physically.

If Beckham doesn't play I suspect Sharp starts based on the depth chart.

1 maybe, 2 series is my guess.
This team needs the reps

I would play the 1’s into the 2nd quarter except for OBJ
and this team needs to win to start building a winning mindset !
Does Odell get his money tomorrow?

Or do you think it will be right before the start of the season?
This Browns team looks pretty solid.....

I think you’re looking at a whole new team this year. It’s a good test for this whole Giants team.
Bitonio playing LT is strange

If OBj does not play,  
Doomster : 8/9/2018 9:32 am : link
then I doubt he plays in any preseason games, and if he doesn't, think the Giants will extend him before seeing him actually play?

I doubt the Giants sign him to a new contract before the season starts, if he refuses to play in preseason games....
Pre Season

I feel as though the future of the NFL is that some guys will be held out of preseason entirely. Starters with no serious competition will not be played

It's too risky. Lots of catastrophic injuries have happened that have ruined seasons. Starting QB's, RB's, WR's, CB's OT's etc will have their workloads in preseason decreased until basically only 2nd and 3rd stringers playing for their lives are what remains.

If I were the Giants Beckham maybe plays a series the 3rd preseason game. Rest of the time he's in streetclothes on the sidelines

What makes you think it's his decision to not play in the preseason?
