Sigh. So Antonio Brown posts a letter he got from GM Mike Mayock telling him he is being fined for skipping 2 days of Camp.
Antonio's mostly incoherent gabbling seems to include "hate" or "haters" and stuff.
But if you skip days (especially for a new team) you get fined. It's the same everywhere. If one guy pulls that crap and gets away with it, every other player on that team sees a double-standard and is furious.
Mayock would never have announced or leaked this fine, but Brown publishes it himself, to show everybody how everybody hates him!!!
This comes right after that whole helmet controversey in which Mayock said they had Antonio's back...
You people who keep talking about "big egos" and how the 2019 Browns would handle a couple consecutive losses are obviously talking about OBJ, and it's assenine:
OBJ loses fights with kicking nets. He has questioned game plans. As far as I know, he has never demanded more targets. OBJ has indirectly criticized Eli Manning...I think...but never any other teammate.
Moreover, while OBJ uses all sorts of "jargon" himself sometimes, his tweets etc are always comprehensible even to geezers like me.
And OBJ doesn't bitch about being persecuted or "hated" either. He defends himself when attacked, but is generally positive.
Lumping OBJ and AB together in the same box is extremely lazy, bad analysis. I don't care if you're a Hall of Fame GM or QB---you're still fulla crap here.
OBJ and AB play the same position, but are very extremely different people, and OBJ is not going to be a problem, period.
And Jarvis Landry won't be a problem, either. Baker Mayfield is the biggest personality on this team by a wide margin. He's ticked me off a whole lot already...oh trust me: the whole "big personalities" issue is bullcrap.
As Myles Garrett opines, Baker Mayfield is the real deal as a leader here. Myles was mainly talking about last year's game vs the Texans (in which Mayfield threw 3 first half picks, including one which was returned for a TD).
I learned from this (thank you Myles), because Garrett says that Mayfield never said a word during halftime, and acted as if the first half had never happened.
Myles was studying his Quarterback here in the worst situation he'd faced.
He doesn't go into detail about what Freddie or Gregg said, or anything else. He just says that the TEAM left the locker room for the second half "inspired".
Permabashers will gleefully point out that the Browns lost that game, but then, Garrett's insights are lost on them; Mayfield was a R O O K I E for cryin out loud, and Garrett was talking about his legitimacy as a LEADER nevermind. Permabashers all think they're Vince Lombardi too...the Browns lost that game so Garrett's opinions are irrelevant.
Vince Lombardi had a way with words, but the players got that it was hyperbole. Browns permabashers don't, because they never played sports (or sucked) themselves.
Myles Garrett never played in a 12 or 16-team league in which if you're second you're last and all that crap...but I digress:
Mike Preifer offers some details about a couple technical tweaks which helped Austin Seibert become the Browns' 2019 Kicker.
You whippersnappers don't remember this, but Phil Dawson the rookie was just "pretty good", and that only up to about 48 yards...which should sound familiar to you.
I have a good feeling about Seibert.
I think.
I hope.
But Jamie Gillan was a no-brainer. Jamie isn't neccessarily an upgrade over Colquitt (aside from his coverage/tackling and his extra hang-time), but those of you who think the cap savings between Colquitt and Gillan doesn't matter need brain transplants.
I'll have to spell this stuff out in future posts (like I have in previous posts), but the shorthand for now is 2 mil more or less in cap space MATTERS when you're bidding on critical free agents.
Bearss vs Packerss resultss: Brad Hopkins suspects that Mitch Trubiski "didn't have a lot of options"
I don't know--I'm just repeating what I heard from a legit analyst.
I will guarantee you this much:
Baker Mayfield will have options out the yinyang. That's why Baker exploded the week after Mywayorthehighway Haley was fired in 2018.
Freddie Kitchens turned Baker loose okbye
