Wilson does look good 

I hope we keep Sims over Davis 

He’s younger, cheaper, & has more upside 

Tyler Davis is the Don Barclay of TE's. I have absolutely zero idea how he sticks so readily. Clearly the staff loves him - a ST guy through and through. BUT, we all know he's never really done anything of substance in the actual flow of play.

I feel better about the safety additions that I do with our linebacker depth. 

I actually am just feeling much much better overall about the defense as a whole. Once we get Edgerrin healthy and Tyron Hooper playing (both out, if you recall) they'll be plenty deep in the ILB group. The secondary looks very deep. I really really like King. Just attacks the ball. Lots to like about the current version of the group overall.

[Joseph Zarr]

Oh hey it's a key 3rd down Dubose snag? You don't say!

BTW, pretty sure Lloyd left injured after his last run. Booo.

[Joseph Zarr]

How about that Wilson cut and the Pratt block down field!? Let's GO!!!

[Joseph Zarr]

Man, you can already see it. Pratt is silky smooth with the rock. Love the early glimpses. Composed. Throws a dart.  

[yourout]

Melton not helping his cause.

[Joseph Zarr]

Melton is having the antithesis performance to Dubose. Not a good game one for Melton at all. Two very catchable drops and both almost picked off.

They're neck and neck if you look at the box scores, but Anders' kicks still make me hold my breath. Mid 30s kicks from Joseph look like what I would expect from a professional kicker.

Melton, Heath, & Samouri could be cut or traded for depth at another position

My exact thoughts 

[Joseph Zarr]

Pratt has already flashed. How did we get him where we did? He has a cannon. And pocket presence. 

[yourout]

I assume we're getting towards the very bottom of the roster now

[Joseph Zarr]

Regardless of how this ends, we have to be extremely pleased with this performance through three quarters. 23-3 on the road. Essentially a game played by second stringers with a dab of mixed in starters for a few series post Love departure. Both back-up QB's playing very well. Back-up O-Line surprisingly really standing firm for the most part. Now that we are at the very end of the roster depth we are seeing a drive. But, for all intents and purposes, this is the Browns first sustained drive into the red zone. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Man, you have to love this defense as a whole stopping the Browns during every key 4th down attempt or 3rd down attempt. Incredible performance. Lots of unsung guys making key plays when they need them. Mosby there with the tip at the line.

He has to make the roster 

[Joseph Zarr]

WE've been hearing all camp: the screen game is a quagmire. Case and point that failed screen on 3rd and 4. That was ugly. It was absolutely there for the taking too. Just not blocked up or synched at all.

[Joseph Zarr]

I would think so. I'm already figuring they may trim WR depth to the PS or trade from it. I don't think you can expose him - he has too many innate talents with that arm and field vision. That was an absolute dime to Hicks on that fade. Gorgeous touch pass.

Dean Lowry was the Don Barclay of D Linemen

Yeah, I saw that. Don't love that at all. Man, we are down Cooper, Hopper, Morgan, and Lloyd. That's a lot of high end draft capital benched with injuries. Don't like it one bit.

Good grief, if I had a nickel for every time I saw Lowry face down eating dirt I'd have a good crisp $5 bill. Unreal how little he showed after his contract year. Unbelievable staying power.

[homer]

Caleb Jones is so big lol

[Joseph Zarr]

Really want a TD here for these end of roster guys. Let's put it in gentlemen!

[Joseph Zarr]

First pre-season game. Very few penalties. Other than a couple near 12-Men on penalties, I am pretty dang impressed with the fluidity and exchanges happening between all the variations of who is on the field. Clean kicking game. Big difference early in 2024.

I like him … Can he make the roster as the primary swing tackle?
