Gonna be nice not seeing so much cushion by the DBs. And wide open TEs in the middle.
The energy just is different. Nice to see.
Hawks vs. Browns Final Tune-up
Re: Hawks vs. Browns Final Tune-up
I would think having games on any holiday would bring a big viewing audience. Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. Why wouldn't you highlight opening day with big numbers on Labor day weekend? Maybe it is more of a picnic/travel type of holiday with less people at home? I don't know, but if I was in the biz I would do some research.Michael K. wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:00 pmBecause the players threw a fit about the added regular season game. No way were they going to start camp and pre season later, and I can’t imagine having games on Labor Day weekend was all that appealing. So they removed a game from the preseason. Would be interesting to know why they didn’t just start the preseason games a week later though.

I would not be shocked to see 6. Shenault is my #4 with that Debo-esk swag, Bobo, and then Dee and the return game vs the size of Dareke.
Re: Hawks vs. Browns Final Tune-up
I watched DT's guy (Knight) looking really instinctive on a few plays. (Screen pass play he looked great). Mike Morris was balling.
There were a lot of bubble guys making their case.
Kenny M., and Holani both showed value.
WR Laviska has shown he is the #4 over Bobo IMOP. But White had an 80 yarder called back, Isop Winston(WSU) made some plays. I did not notice D. Young but the physical size with him is alluring. I did not notice WHite who had the 80 yarder called back was 6'3" 215# as well. There will be some potential let go somewhere at RB, WR, OL, Front 7 D, DBs. It will be interesting to see which of the bubble guys make it and if there are additional injury guys added to the PUP list that allow more of the bubble guys to stick for at least a little bit.
Just my .02 $

Had himself a Preseason! What a beast. Might have a shot with Uchenna being dinged up.

Re: Hawks vs. Browns Final Tune-up
I missed the 2nd half broadcast. Was there any word on Nwosu's injury status?
Re: Hawks vs. Browns Final Tune-up
This team is gonna be a problem.
Loaded defensive line for the first time in years - and deep. While they are nice, I don't care about the sacks - I care about no one running for 150 on this unit. That interior now looks fierce.
Secondary is stacked and deep.
The weakness is a 'merely decent" linebacking group that is not flashy, overly experienced or a deep position group, but fast and can tackle. They will scheme to minimize this weakness - scheming is McDonald's specialty. Yes, you are still going to see LB's in coverage because this is the NFL.
That offense could be ridiculous. Jesus, talk about a wealth of talent. You also have an offensive coordinator who will also SCHEME to the strengths and weaknesses.
Offensive line - there seems to me to be enough talent, experience and depth to be - at a minimum - quite serviceable and deep. The jury is out on their ceiling.
QB - Geno looks like he is going to be on fire. Will not be surprised if he is an MVP candidate - he could put up some numbers in this offense.
The depth of the backfield is utterly ridiculous.
The depth of the receivers group is utterly ridiculous - DK, Lockett, SMith-Njigba - and then add in Shenault who could be a major factor - dude is a flat out baller - I expect him to render Bobo nearly irrelevant.
Yeah, I can see this team winning 10/11 games - but this group has a very special feel to it - this is a talented roster matched up with a focused coaching staff that is emphasizing FUNDAMENTALS that have been lacking for at least five years. Just do your job, play fundamental, no stupid mistakes, and they also look fast as hell - kinda like a certain team did around 2013/2014.
Yeah, I think this team could be a real problem.
