I was going to write about the Browns vs Giants preseason game I'm watching (my text-pards all streamed out of the virtual stadium an hour ago), but then I read this.
John Dorsey must be some sort of adrenaline-junkie or something. He just can't stop monkeying around with his roster, just to monkey with it; just for something to do!
Why tf is he trying to recruit Dez Bryant? The 2018 Browns have Gordon, Landry, Duke Johnson, and Callaway before we get to Higgins and Board!
Who does Dez replace? Duke? Yeah that would be sheer genius! Let's make sure Duke Johnson can't line up at WR--why didn't I think of that?
Maybe it's because you think CJ Board sucks and want to make sure to kick him to the curb? Oh! Oh! SASHI BROWN drafted Higgins--are you going for a clean sweep here? Just to make sure you get all the credit?
Does it matter that with these tight ends and running backs, and the recent rule changes, the assistant coaches will probably all agree to keep four tight ends, a true fullback, and FIVE non-Duke wide receivers?
Note and file this, you people: I am officially resuming hostilities with John Dorsey right now.
After he said that Sashi Brown didn't bring in "real football players", I was all over him. But I backed off after the outstanding job he did in the offseason (especially picking the best quarterback in the draft).
But now here he is actively recruiting Dez Bryant (and obviously Haley's scheme, and Bryant's bad "fit" in it doesn't matter either JEEZ, John!)
Why aren't you trying to get more elderly running backs, guards, tight ends, linebackers, strong safeties etc in here too?
Oh yeah only a couple years ago with Tony Romo Dez had that awesome season in a vertical passing scheme ah crap I give up: If Dorsey signs Dez Bryant, I don't want to hear another word about Wentz or Schwartze.
...anyway, vs the Giants, second team left tackle Gregg Robinson actually did a good job in pass protection. He was up against real athletes outside, and he stoned them, repeatedly.
The Giants defense stuffed the run (mainly Chubb) for the whole game.
The Browns starting defense was saved from Saquon Barkley when he stopped playing...
Not really: He had that one huge play, but was otherwise (kind of) contained.
Both Browns quarterbacks looked pretty good, and the Browns won the "depth" war (as they should all preseason).
This would have been uglier (for the Browns) had Beckham played at all, or Eli/Barkley hung around longer.
Still, it was generally positive. Mayfield sputtered and stumbled, but kept punching.
His TD pass to Njoku was literally pinpoint-perfect, and he got the ball to Callaway before the cornerback could recover or the safety could close...I think that was a blown coverage, but Mayfield spotted and nailed it instantly.
Callaway did most of that by himself, of course, but that's another thing: Corey who?
Antonio Callaway is the real deal. But after those drops, he should be prepared to answer the banging on his door and see Gunnery Sargeant Landry glaring at him (with a "list").
In conclusion, John Dorsey are you out of your damn mind?
