The NFLPA has made practice what it is.

There are many restrictions and limitations.

it would have been Watson's moment as a Brown QB


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

It's just funny how some teams can successfully adapt to those restrictions and limitations. You'd think that by the way KS worked the COVID hurdles he'd figure this out.

It's not actually a problem at all. It does limit the hours of practice a team can conduct using contact and other hours allowed. What these rules do not do is restrict the ability to practice intensely and hard during the hours allotted. All teams have the same amount of allotted hours but it appears not all teams use those hours in quite the same way.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Nobody attends practice from this Board.

In fact nobody has any real idea about how the Browns prepare.

Yet many think they know all about it and are critical.

I think we're in trouble, and are going to be hard pressed to find a win in the next 7 weeks. We will, hopefully, beat the bye ..... but I have very little hope of even that happening.

At Washington
At Eagles
Bengals
Ravens
Chargers
Bye
At Saints

If we can add another step to last weeks progress, we could win our share.

5.5 yards/throw doesn't win many games.
Having the OL play like swiss cheese doesn't win many games.
Watching the DL get gashed time and time again doesn't win many games.
Making mistake after mistake after mistake doesn't win many games.
This team, right now, is a train wreck.
The coaching is a mess. Stefanski doesn't seem to know what offense he wants to run.

We need to get leaps and bounds better if we expect to win even one of the next 6. There is a ton of slop to clean up right now.

It was quite disheartening when we were in the red zone right at the end of the game and Watson got swarmed upon by their D. Our O line is so bad now.

losing to the Giants and Raiders basically screws our season IMO .. those were two games you couldn't lose

I think most of the limitations are on frequency and timeframe of practice. Not what you do in practice.

Then you have the issue of pre-season games. The coach can play starters the whole game if so elected. We elect to not play them.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

I agree about those 2 losses. Both games we should have won. Wouldn't it be nice to talk about wins and not all this negative stuff? Sort of like last season.

we really should be 3-1 if we took care of business ... but clearly it's a roster/coaches that didn't prepare well enough in the offseason to execute well enough in the season

If DW can play at a high level, we can turn the season around. But that starts now. So I think we need to lose two more to be out in a typical season. We’ll have to see if DW and Ski have it in them to get-er-done. Watching Flacco this past weekend does have me thinking about Winston… I don’t see that change coming soon. And I don’t think that would save our season.
