Takes like this are not very good.  Garrett had ONE sack and on this one play he blew up 2 players.  How about the 3rd down pryor in which Jonah handled him all by himself without issue and Myles didnt come within 8 yards.  

3rd Down Jonah containing Myles:


4th down Myles being Superman:

First preseason game is officially in, the coaches have plenty of game tape to review now. On to Baltimore, preseason game two.

It's a horrible hot take and your either drinking heavily or saying bs to get a discussion going. Which congrats if so you did achieve that goal.

i dont drink. no need for insults to disagree with an opinion. why cant folks understand that. notice that i have never once insulted anyone. respect go along ways even if you have different thoughts and ideas

Didn’t read any comments but the OP. I picked us to lose because it was pretty obvious we would. No preseason for Burrow and some starters. It’s a long season and we are going to be fine. For anyone who may be freaking out, try not to. We’re going to be ok.

Your not wrong.

Credit to the Browns CBs they played a pretty nutty game. Schwartz allowed one on one opportunities against the best WR trio in the league and the Browns CBs more than held their own. Big reason for their win today.

You definitely may want to catch up. We’ve long moved onto tanking for Caleb, and offseason changes / needs!

Yeah Hendrix is bad at overrunning running plays. Nick Scott is horrible at tackling.

Actually he wants us to trade for him.

Yes. Trey is a dominant pass rusher. But, bad against the run.

if the worst you can say about Jonah today is he allowed 1 sack to Garrett...well then you just have it out for him and are nitpicking to a high degree

Really? With the team we have? Today’s loss was good. We were terrible, unprepared and embarrassed. That’s a good thing. No rest at practice this week.

That was the strangest thing. Schwartz is a great DC, but I never would have expected that to work.

When you do under 5 yard throws it does. You gotta be aggressive.

We didn't play our game.

They had no man beaters on the play sheet. No slants, double moves, crossing routes.

Just like last year, I can’t wait until next week to get this taste out of my mouth. Had to wait two weeks last year.

I think we played our game. And that was the issue. Looks like the offense after 5 years has been solved. 

Can’t play from under center, no run game to bail out a struggling Qb, no threat at TE, struggle to pass block…… we played our game.

One would hope. Unfortunately, Zac rarely learns from his mistakes until repeated at least 3 times. He also likes his reputation of taking good care of his players.

We've just been conditioned to give this reply. The oline was the least of our problems today, especially on the edges. Why do folks think Garrett kept moving inside? Fan favorite Karras had a bad game, but the rest were average and I think Zeus was very good
