DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Browns Strength and Conditioning (continued)

Based on the #Browns, Giants injury report for yesterday's game and the number of players who suffered injuries...extent of injuries not known at this time...

...it seems the same old problem the Browns suffered through last season is continuing.

The link below shows the Browns injury report as of Sept 19, 2024 showing approx 10 Browns who did not practice or were limited. We should have the status of the number of injuries suffered sometime today.

I'd say the handling of our OT's alone should be a red flag ... but our team is constantly injured and seems exhausted ... and it's only week 3

I will say this...according to the information in this link link

....the weight room was not done until Aug. 5th, 2024 so how much use our player were able to put in might be limited.

But going forward, the Browns ' strength and conditioning staff should benefit as far as the amount of time needed to rehab our injured players.

Well, the Browns have no Strengths and our ability to do anything is totally Conditional.... so, we're all set!

Is there any Browns lineman who isn't injured..?

Whoever came up with the Browns "GO EASY STRATEGY" for conditioning and training, IT'S NOT WORKING!

Ron Rivera Reveals How The Loss Of Bill Callahan Is Affecting Browns
September 25, 2024
By Robert Marvi

In recent years, the Cleveland Browns had what many considered one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, and some of the credit for that went to Bill Callahan, who was their offensive line coach from 2020 to 2023.

This year, however, Callahan is with the Tennessee Titans, and Andy Dickerson replaced him.

Former Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said on “The Bullpen” that the Browns are missing Callahan’s toughness and insistence on playing a physical brand of football.

“Coach Callahan’s mentality is very tough, very physical. His standard is very high. When a guy like Bill Callahan moves on, it changes everything,” Rivera said.

Callahan had previously served on the coaching staffs of multiple teams, including the then-Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets.

Coming into this season, Pro Football Focus ranked the Browns’ offensive line as the fourth-best in the NFL.

While Sharp Football analysis ranked that offensive line third in the league a few days ago, that ranking could be misleading, and there is room for improvement.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to struggle in Cleveland, and he has been sacked 16 times in the first three games of the season, which is a league high.

Their running game has also been lackluster to start the season — they rank 15th in yards gained per rush attempt, 24th in rushing yards and 27th in rushing attempts.

Obviously, one factor is the continued absence of Nick Chubb, one of the game’s best running backs, who suffered a severe knee injury early last season.

I have no idea what that has to do with the strength and conditioning department. As far as Callahan is concerned unless the Browns wanted to look like total A holes and make it to where no coach would want to come here by holding Callahan hostage, he was going to go and coach with his son. It is true that he was a great OL coach and is missed.

Which still has zero to do with the strength and conditioning department.

Jerry Jeudy Makes Embarrassing Admission After Browns' Week 4 Loss

The veteran wide receiver needs to improve his conditioning heading into the Browns' Week 5 matchup against the Commanders.

The Cleveland Browns kicked off their three-game road trip Sunday with a disappointing 20-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns entered the game as short road favorites but didn’t play like the better team as they failed to do the little things, which cost them.

The Browns’ offense again struggled for the second-straight week as they only had 241 yards of total offense. Cleveland starting QB Deshaun Watson targeted receiver Jerry Jeudy often in the four-point loss as Jeudy had six receptions (nine targets) for 72 yards.
It was a nice bounce-back performance for the former first-round pick after he struggled in the Week 3 loss to the New York Giants (four receptions for 27 yards). However, the 25-year-old wideout made an interesting comment on Monday that won’t make Browns fans feel good.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Jeudy said he’ll run more this week to make sure he’s not tired on some plays like he was in the loss to the Raiders.

Strength and conditioning...One of the Browns WRs admitting...he is not in condition.

So, who is in charge of the teams conditioning..?
·

I've stayed out of the S&C debate...mostly because I have even less of an idea about what is going on there than other things Browns...HOWEVER...that ^ is pretty damning IMO.

Not to be sarcastic but after reading what JJ said, hearing about how we practiced in the preseason and seeing how we’ve played so far I have to ask who is running things the Three Stooges?

What causes his sore knee was surgery in the off season. Just like our other two starting tackles.

So are you telling me it's very hard to run a lot while rehabbing a knee injury? Say it ain't so!

Oh you know run, jump, squat, lunge, jumping jacks, a little sweating to the oldies with Richard Simmons. All seem to be just a tad harder for a giant man with a bad knee.

The head coach.

There is a difference between strength and game conditioning.

We didn't get our players in game condition. We spent training camp protecting players from injury by not ramping up their game conditioning to sending them out for 50 or so plays a game.

You don't train for a marathon by jogging a mile or two a day. You actually run distance to condition the body. We sent our players from minimal, controlled reps in practice to full throttle once the season started. If you don't build the guys in steps, you get what we are getting...failure.

I like Stefanski but he gets a big "F" when it comes to getting guys ready to start a season.

Now THAT is a good question.

I don't think so...I think we are soft, but that is more attitude over anything else.

We weren't soft last season. What changed in about 8 months?

I have no idea. Success bringing on compliancy?

HW...During the off-season I expected the Browns to build upon last years successes...instead, they squandered that opportunity by mishandling the QB position and failing to recognize and improve the weaknesses within the OLine.

Now the team is treading water, hoping they can use the beginning of the season as their Pre-Season...the Browns didn't want to risk an injury in the pre-season, so they held their starters out of the pre-season games.

It almost feels like the Browns management team is trying to tank this season. While that might sound crazy, there isn't much that makes sense in Berea so far this season.

Just this week it was confirmed that the Browns never even offered Flacco a contract. They didn't want their star QB to feel as if he had to worry about losing his starting position to Flacco...so they gave Flacco the boot..a kick in the teeth.

Make no mistake about what some in the media are writing these days...the Browns franchise is badly broken.

HW, last year is gone..!

Maybe even complacency, perhaps. We don't seem bothered by losing. I do not expect some who are to stick around this nonsense for long.
