Hey
@NFL
at what point do the refs start getting fined?
Myles Garrett was basically tackled twice today, and outright (obviously) held probably another 3-4 times.

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah finished the 2023 regular season with 20 Tackles-for-loss.
That’s more than:
- T.J. Watt
- Myles Garrett
- Micah Parsons
- Josh Allen
- Nick Bosa
- Aaron Donald
- Trey Hendrickson

I can’t stop watching Paris Johnson seamlessly transition his vertical kick-slide left to right. No hop, no wasted movement. This is nucking futs.
#NFLDraft2023
The Ronnie Hickman situation is so insane lol
The
#Browns
have most likely found their 3rd safety and top rotational DB going forward...by way of a rookie UDFA...who's been playing like a multi-year starting NFL safety in year 1.
Hat's off to this coaching staff, man.
#Browns
DC Jim Schwartz said rookie safety Ronnie Hickman has been the glue of the secondary since he stepped in; communicates as well as any rookie safety he's coached.
Isaiah Thomas vs. NE Patriots 1st round pick OL Cole Strange. This is why the
#Browns
were ecstatic to get Isaiah Thomas in round 7. He’s a traditional base 4-3 DE that has the legit versatility to play inside and use his quickness to beat Guards/Centers.
If LT Geron Christian continues to play as well as he did on Sunday, I don’t see how the
#Browns
can give the job back to Jedrick Wills.
His PFF Grade of 69.6 was the highest graded performance of any CLE LT this season.
#DawgPound
#Browns
RB Jerome Ford was one of the main catalysts for today’s HUGE win.
He averaged almost 5 ypc, had multiple runs of 12+ yards, and displayed the vision and power that this team has been waiting to see in 2023.
Excellent effort by 34.

High school football isn’t happening this fall, and as a coach this is obviously going to be an extremely difficult time for me. Instead of complaining about what I can’t control, I’m going to use this time to learn as much as I can and grow as a football coach. Who’s with me?!
I still don't understand how
#Browns
UDFA G Javion Cohen went undrafted.
He was undoubtedly one of the best interior pass blockers in this year's class and only gave up ONE sack in his entire career.
That's right... 1 sack in 43 games. 👀
This leads me to believe that he

#NFL
#JoeFlacco
The
#Browns
and free agent TE Jesse James are closing in on a deal.
It looks like CLE is getting their much needed 3rd TE. The 6’7”, 250lb. James will provide the offense with an excellent redzone weapon.
Watson operating out of the Pistol in OTA’s. This is going to be incredibly deadly with his athletic ability and processing speed. RPO’s, deception, and misdirection are going to be a common theme in this new offense.

#Browns
QB Jacoby Brissett was only pressured ONE time yesterday in the passing game, and allowed the ball carriers to average 5.6 yards per carry in the run game.
An absolute banger of a game by this CLE offensive line as a unit.
The elegance, smoothness, and arm talent of Deshaun Watson throughout the first two days of
#Trainingcamp
so far is completely indescribable in comparison to recent
#Browns
quarterbacks.
It’s definitely something that Clevelanders aren’t used to.
Kevin Stefanski is the king of these condensed, deceptive plays man.
He does this stuff consistently, and he does it extremely well.
#DawgPound
#Browns
There’s actual
#Browns
fans complaining that Kevin Stefanski is forcing Joe Flacco to throw the ball too much right now, and that he has to be fired.
I literally can’t even begin to f****** describe how incredibly ignorant you have to be to formulate that kind of opinion with
Great example of staying very disciplined to your blocking path/angle when it comes to zone blocking. It can be tempting to “jump the gun” and attack the LB, but waiting on him to attack you is what makes it work. If he doesn’t flow to you, then he’s already out of the play.
#Browns
facts that fans don’t want to accept:
1) Cleveland is not trading for Jimmy G.
2) Michael Woods II is NOT a roster lock.
3) Demetric Felton Jr. IS a roster lock.
4) Cleveland is trying hard to move Kareem Hunt or D’Ernest Johnson.
5) Stefanski is a good play caller.

#Browns
safety Duron Harmon is such an excellent fit for what Jim Schwartz wants to do in the secondary.
He had an overall coverage grade of 77.6 in 2022 with the Raiders as well.
#DawgPound
Ronnie Hickman had himself a GAME against the Bears.
He was all over the field and consistently put himself in advantageous positions in coverage. I'm interested to see how he performs the rest of the way. The
#Browns
might have something here. 👀
Excellent effort play on this
The more film I watch of this
#Browns
team so far, the more I’m starting to realize that ALOT of the problems on defense are stemming from John Johnson III.
Shows very little effort, is biting on things that he shouldn’t be, & he’s consistently out of position in the run game.
The Chase Winovich trade for the
#Browns
might end up being just as good as the Wyatt Teller trade. Winovich is an extremely aggressive pass rusher that a lot of people aren’t talking about enough. He was one of the top pass rushers in the league in 2020.
If LT Geron Christian continues to play as well as he did on Sunday, I don’t see how the
#Browns
can give the job back to Jedrick Wills.
His PFF Grade of 69.6 was the highest graded performance of any CLE LT this season.
#DawgPound
Yes,
#Browns
rookie OT Dawand Jones has been the talk of the town since the HOF game, but rookie C Luke Wypler was outstanding as well. ZERO pressures allowed on Thursday night.
He’s such a great mover in space and takes great angles when cutting off linebackers.
#DawgPound
I don’t think people realize how good
#Browns
rookie CB Martin Emerson actually was in 2022.
it’s incredibly hard to run any sort of timing route against him because of his length and physicality.
If I could only run ONE play for the rest of my life, it would be the Counter RPO. So many things have to fall in line perfectly for the defense in order for them to be able to stop it.
Counter-RPO: Nice play design here on complementing plays!
1⃣Formation with a lot of options with motion
2⃣Make them respect JET Sweep
3⃣ Physical Run Game
4️⃣H Back gets lost in box on RPO
🏈🔥
Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt are about to combine for 150+ rushing yards against Denver this weekend.
The Broncos are still REALLY bad against the run. 👀
#DawgPound
If I’m the
#Browns
, there’s no way I’m trading assets for a RB. I’ll take one of these free agents:
Leonard Fournette
Ronald Jones II
Darrel Williams
Larry Rountree III
Kenyan Drake
The only position that’s worth making an actual trade for is QB right now.
#DawgPound
The amount of slander that is being spread about new
#Browns
LB Devin Bush is insane.
The guy had one of the lowest missed tackle % in the league over the past three seasons, and his play in SEA when on the field was above-average.
It’s crazy how fanbases and media can paint a
#Browns
second-year DE Alex Wright has been an extremely underrated member of their front 7 this season. He's shown massive technical improvement in 2023, and has been productive at both strongside DE and on the interior.
Cleveland played him inside quite a bit against Chicago
The
#Browns
’ starting offensive line against the Bears will be:
LT Geron Christian
LG Joel Bitonio
C Nick Harris
RG Wyatt Teller
RT James Hudson
#DawgPound
If I’m the
#Browns
I’m doing everything I possibly can to bring in Kellen Moore, and immediately handing over 100% of the play-calling duties to him from Day 1.
Moore + Watson = What dreams are actually made of.
#DawgPound
To be 100% honest, and it’s just my opinion right now, I’d be surprised if Nick Chubb plays football again after that injury.
That would be the 2nd time that he sustains that type of injury to that same knee.
Screw this game, I feel so much for Nick right now. So sad.
#Browns
This play fully displays everything you need to know about the game speed of
#Browns
WR Anthony Schwartz.
He creates about 8yds of separation here with pure speed and by taking a great angle to the sideline. The scary thing? He’s not even sprinting.
Yes, it was incomplete but this throw by
#Browns
QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson was insane.
The difficulty level of this throw, when you add in his body position while drifting backwards in combination with the defensive coverage is a solid 8.5 out of 10.
The fact that he was 6"
Watch
#Browns
C Ethan Pocic completely remove former Brown DT Larry Ogunjobi (
#99
) from the play. Excellent job of torquing upon initial contact, and then just driving him laterally out of the play.
I would honestly expect the
#Browns
to announce an extension for Kevin Stefanski in the coming weeks.
It’s now less of a rewarding situation for KS, and more of a “We need to lock this guy up for the foreseeable future” type of thing for the organization.
#DawgPound
I hope
#Browns
fans paid attention the the Eagles defense yesterday.
That was about 90% of what the 2023 CLE defense is going to look like. Schematically speaking. 🙌🏻
#Browns
C Ethan Pocic with yet another All-Pro type performance last night against the Bengals.
He MUST be given a 3-year extension soon. They can’t afford to let him walk in FA.
If the
#Browns
are serious about acquiring Daron Payne before the deadline, a 3rd round pick should be able to get it done.
I firmly believe that Payne’s worth it.
He’s a perfect schematic fit for this CLE defensive line in need of playmaking ability on the interior.
Hey, it was an amazing run guys. We have so much to be thankful for and proud of this season.
This is the game where it finally caught up to us.
This the game where “Heart” and play calling can’t make up for all of the injuries and inexperience.
We can’t be mad at Joe Flacco
Demetric Felton is such an electric playmaker for Cleveland. It’s going to be fun watching how Stefanski utilizes him going forward. I would expect to see him get 15-20 snaps per week, depending on depth in the slot. 8.2 yards per touch in 2021.
#Browns
It’s insane to me that everyone thinks that BLITZING is the
#Browns
problem on D.
Saying that “Jim Schwartz doesn’t blitz”.
His D is leading the NFL in sacks/pressures by a HUGE margin…and doesn’t need to blitz. The goal is to generate the most pressure with your front 4.
If I’m the
#Browns
, I’m doing absolutely everything I can this off-season to bring in Jim Schwartz or Ejiro Evero to replace Joe Woods at Defensive Coordinator.
It’s mind-boggling to me that whenever the
#Browns
lose a game… that means something bad is happening within the organization.
Apparently Stefanski and Deshaun Watson “don’t like each other now”.
Guys…teams can lose football games and not be self-destructing.
#DawgPound
This
#Browns
defensive line is going to eat Cincinnati’s offensive line ALIVE in week 1.
#Dawgpound
Myles Garrett
Za’Darius Smith
Ogbo Okoronkwo
Dalvin Tomlinson
Shelby Harris
Maurice Hurst
Siaki Ika
….Oh my.
I’d like to reiterate how impactful of a signing FS Juan Thornhill was/is for the
#Browns
.
Having a player like that in the secondary is going to allow Jim Schwartz and this Cleveland defense to do some crazy things with the front 7.
#DawgPound
The
#Browns
drafted this guy for one main schematic reason: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
As a former offensive lineman myself, I’ll try to explain to you why Cleveland having both Siaki Ika and Dalvin Tomlinson at 1-Tech & 3-Tech is a very scary thing for offenses.
Full explanation in thread! 👇🏻
It’s honestly crazy to me that a
#Browns
season that doesn’t/shouldn’t even matter…is starting to tear apart the team. 2022 should’ve been written off the books the second Watson was suspended. This season doesn’t matter, it’s about 2023. It’s always been about 2023. Stop it.
I’ve been saying it for months now,
#Browns
rookie DE Isaiah Thomas is incredibly special. He shows more pass rush savvy and on-field awareness than most rookies should. The sky is the limit for this kid.
It’s really exciting to see
#Browns
DT Perrion Winfrey finally showing consistent effort game in and game out. Somebody in that organization gave him the kick-in-the-pants that he needed.
Looks like a completely different player than he did the first half of the season. 🟧🟫🟧
It’s insane how people are so bothered by this Deshaun Watson injury “drama”.
It’s pretty simple.
He has a contusion.
He didn’t want to play last week because he wasn’t 100%
You can be “cleared” and still not play.
He was inside rehabbing today.
The sky isn’t falling.
This throw is still not being talked about enough.
It's without a doubt one of the best throws of the season, not just by Flacco but by any QB. It's a video game-like completion. 😍😤🥹
