Is now televised on Fox, not the NFL Network or ESPN. Was much better listening to Troy Aikman and Joe Buck.
Last night the Browns shut out the Eagles, 5-0. I realize it's only preseason, but the teams' starters all pretty much played the first half.
Takeaways:
1. 5-0 final score. Kind of boring, but good defense by both. Nick Foles has turned into a turnover machine. The Browns sacked the Eagles' QBs 7 times!! Two INTs, two forced fumbles recovered.
2. Carlos Hyde is gonna be a horse for the Browns. Played about 1-1/2 quarters and had 45 yards on 8 carries.
3. Early on the Browns had a 1st and goal at the 1 and tried passing it 4 straight times! Not one run. They ended up turning the ball over. But then the Browns' D sacked Foles in the end zone for a safety,
so they at least got a couple of points. Piss poor play calling. I think it just reconfirms what most Browns' fans have known for a couple of years - ain't the players, it's the idiot head coach.
4. Josh Gordon is now in the Browns' training camp. When he gets back on the field this offense may sizzle.
Not saying they will even make the playoffs, but they will certainly open some eyes this year.
