Cleveland Browns 2022 Season Thread

Lebron, who is now apparently a Browns fan, facing backlash after tweeting his support for Watson after the 3 TD performance.

Better be 1st ballot....

Gents, this nauseates me to think about it but I'm betting that the Browns run it back with the same coaching staff, including Woods.

Better not.

Yeah, he brings out the "clown" in Clowney. GTFO and don't come back you pay check stealing POS. Out 50% of the time with injuries, on the field doing nothing 40% and might actually show up for a play or two 10%. 

And...the POS gets what he deserves...

The #Browns have sent Jadeveon Clowney home and he will not practice today. Status for Sunday unclear.

He sounds like a bitch. He also raises good points and some major concerns I would have (mostly about Woods, but the HC signs off on everything). 

Good riddance to Clowney.  I hope Joe Woods gets axed for sure.  But I base zero partrs of my opinion of Woods on the whining of Clowney.  Clowney is a permanent member of the Walking Wounded.  He is a drag on the defense and his last great play was tackling that UM running back in the backfield when he was still at South Carolina.

Well that last part just isnt true. He was awesome in Houston. All-Pro stuff.

Hopefully this, along with previous comments by JJ3 & Myles, wakes them up to get rid of Woods.

On the flipside, sounds like some of his bitching was because they were putting their best pass rusher (Myles) against weaker tackles. I have a solution for you, Clowney....get BETTER!

Oh his bitching was wild in that article. Just nonsense stuff haha.

I can’t imagine he’d even try if he did play

By his effort this year, it would be about the same result. Guy has been a non-factor since last season.

Ouch.....Conklin, who usually holds his own against Watt, is out Sunday. I hope they don't put James Hudson out there on an island like they did last year. Watt feasted.

Doesn't seem to be able to stay health. Thoughts?

Browns could land former Buckeye WR Mike Thomas if/when released. His release is likely after today’s contract restructuring with the Saints: https://t.co/76xgB0Cg5V

Lord I would think he has another shot or two he’s earned

Or I’ll say it another way….I don’t want teams that my team is facing to pick him up

It'd be a question for sure. Looking at his stats, he's only 29 and has been an elite shorter-yardage guy when healthy, but after  being very healthy his first four years, has only played a total of 10 games the past three seasons. I mean, with one of those years being 2020, I don't know if COVID played a role in him only playing 7 that year, but none in 2021 and only three this year say that his recent injury history is concerning. But if a team signs him, he can stay healthy and those prior injuries haven't sapped his ability too much, that'd be a really good pick-up.

But that is a lot of "ifs".

Some of those injuries have been rumored to be “I’m not playing for this team/QB”. If Brees was there, he’d have been there as well.

Joe Woods fired. We'll see if it makes a difference as I think the defensive roster sucks. Hope they get a DC that is a hard ass, who will hold them accountable, like Brian Flores, but I doubt it as this regime holds nobody accountable. They likely wouldn't hire someone unless they're a "yes" man. Please no Fangio. The young DC in Denver is also intriguing.

Browns have requested to interview Jerod Mayo (Patriots) and Brian Flores (Steelers) for the vacant DC job.
