I would call it bullshit if I DIDN'T hear that Jed isn't having an up and down start. Tia....did YOU actually have some credible source for this? Nevertheless, I do have a source.....from Clevelandbrowns.com....Andrew Gribble, senior staff writer: 3. Wills getting early test from Vernon Even though Myles Garrett hasn't been on the field, rookie LT Jedrick Wills Jr. has been getting an immediate, high-end test going against Pro Bowl veteran Olivier Vernon. Wills has held his own as a part of the starting offensive line, and Stefanski has liked what he's seen from the rookie. "I think that is great when you get good against good," Stefanski said. "I think that will only help Jedrick in his development. I talked to (DE) Olivier today, and we are pushing Jed and he is part of that. He is getting his work in, but we definitely like the idea that Jed is facing off a good, veteran player." This is from August 16. If there is some update, let us know. And, by the way.....IF in the last week, they have decided to pit Wills against Garrett.....it may be possible that Garrett has taken him to the wood shed a bit. But since I am predicting that Garrett will be an unstoppable force come this year....and in contention for NFL DPOY....It would not be surprising that Wills may struggle against HIM. EVERY LOT in the NFL is going to do that....IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally something was indicating that there could be positive tests, but when they ran the tests again to double-check them they came back negative? (I guess?) Apparently there was an issue with the lab in New Jersey that ran the tests.

D Bone Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 https://sports.yahoo.com/browns-secondary-suffers-brutal-monday-200136122.html Browns secondary suffers a brutal Monday practice session Monday was a terrible day on the injury front for the Cleveland Browns secondary. Already missing top slot CB Kevin Johnson with his liver injury, three other prominent players left Monday’s practice session in Berea with injuries. The most prominent is a potentially huge blow to the defense with rookie safety Grant Delpit suffering what appeared to be an Achilles injury. Delpit went to the ground just before team drills and was clutching at the back of his calf in obvious agony. Delpit was the most serious of the injuries, but he wasn’t alone. Starting cornerback Greedy Williams also left the practice field before the session ended. He left under his own power but Williams was assisted by trainers back into the facility. Recent arrival M.J. Stewart also caught the injury bug on Monday. Stewart was spotted with his leg heavily wrapped in ice before practice ended. He had been replacing Johnson’s role in the lineup. Terrance Mitchell sat out Monday’s session for undisclosed reasons. That left Denzel Ward, Donovan Olumba, Tavierre Thomas, Robert Jackson, A.J. Green and Donnie Lewis Jr. as the cornerbacks to finish practice. We’ll keep you updated on the injury status of all the Browns’ walking wounded as they become available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Kitchens was the sole reason the offense struggled last year.... 😐 It has Been a beating a dead horse competition on this issue. You are kind on onboard where I saw things last year. Blame assignment game: Baker 33% - Poor reads, poor movement in the pocket (did really well in the category his rookie year) leaving clean pockets, missed throws Playcaller/Personnel groups 33%- we were destined for failure I’d estimate a 33% prior to the snap. I can go back each game and I’m sure if you read the comments of each game we have an abundance of head scratchers each game. Oline 16.5%- Baker and the past regime made this area more of need than it actually needed to be based on the above. But no doubt their were series and a few games that the edges could not hold up. WRs 16.5%.- I love OBJ but he needs to improve his play and effort during play breakdowns. Rolling and coming back to the QB. There were times throughout the year we had a WR go left and he should have gone right. We had injuries, guys sitting out before and during the season and guys playing hurt. So continuity didn’t exist. I’m lost on the last 1% any guesses? anyway Joe Woods is darn good coordinator he will have a taller task this year in Cleveland than what he had in SF. He’s got some pieces here though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
