Sunday card. Four plays. The one I like best is Tampa laying four and a half at home coming off a beating, because Bowles teams answer and because Cleveland has now played one football game in eleven months that anybody watched and everyone has decided it was a documentary.

CBS early window. Browns at Buccaneers is going to 19 percent of the country. It was 8 percent in Week 1. Steelers at Patriots has most of the rest of the map. Cleveland picks up all of Ohio, Erie, most of Michigan and, for reasons nobody at the network will explain to me, Sacramento.

#Browns inactives at #Buccaneers, what Nick Mansour said Friday about handling Vita Vea without help, and why Darnell Savage is outside again with Denzel Ward in Pittsburgh: --->

Buses in. Field is soaked from an hour of rain that stopped before anybody got here #Browns

my brother in law sent me the spread at seven in the morning like i had asked him to. i did not ask him to

giants at 1 today. im going to put it on and then look at my phone for three hours like a normal person

ordering one side with barbecue is a character flaw and I have been telling people this for eleven years #ThreeSidesMinimum

A young man from the Browns came to our building Thursday and read to Room 12 for forty minutes and did not look at his phone one time. I am told he plays tight end. My students are told he plays tight end. #Browns

GAMEDAY BABY LETS GOOOO EVERYBODY IN THIS HOUSE IS IN BROWN TODAY EVEN THE DOG SHE HAS A JERSEY NOW #Browns #DawgPound #Cleveland #NFL

Falcons fan. I have watched zero minutes of Cleveland Browns football in my entire life. I am watching this one because of the coach thing, I have said that to four separate people this week and all four of them said the same sentence back to me.

Grandma has decided she is a Cleveland Browns fan this Year on account of the thing the young Coach said in January... I have been explaining the Draft to this woman for six straight Years and she has never once asked me a follow up question . Not one .

My thoughts on "establishing the run" & why ppl keep getting it wrong! It was NEVER about the yards. It is about what the defense has to declare before the snap & how long they have to stay in it! You can hand it off 30 times for 60 yards & still get exactly what you paid for, & the internet will tell you the run game failed!

Second week in a row I will have watched a whole one of these. I am not going to write it down every week. I wanted to write it down once.

Nobody will ask why a first year head coach with no record of any kind was handed the two softest defenses on the 2026 slate in his first fourteen days. I have run the numbers on it. The numbers are not an accident. Thread at 4pm and I fully expect this account to be throttled again before it posts.

Harold Fannin is on 44 percent of rosters and he had three touchdowns eight days ago. I do not have anything else for you people this week. That is the whole tip. Go.

new england at 1. i want forty of them. i want it ugly and i want it in their building

in a bar on w 25th and there are maybe eleven of us in here for a one oclock road game in september. last year at this exact time there were four of us and two were employees. growth

EIGHTY SEVEN YARDS. FIRST SNAP AFTER THE PUNT. WE WERE ON OUR OWN THIRTEEN. GODWIN. GODWIN!!!

two touchdowns in eight minutes and one of them was a corner falling down and the other one was a corner falling down further away. i am going to enjoy exactly one quarter of this because i know this football team

who is the corner. somebody give me a name. i want the name

cleveland is down 14 to 7 in florida in september and a man in a pirate hat has fired a cannon fourteen times. everything is normal. everything is exactly normal

14 7. i have seen this one. we lose it 31 24, everybody says we were right there, and i do not sleep well on a sunday for no reason at all

Tampa is playing single high with both corners squatting and Cleveland has now put the tight end on the second level three times in a row for free yards. That is a role, not a coverage bust.

END 1Q · CLE 14, TB 14. Tampa Bay's two touchdowns have covered 123 yards between them.

as a person with nothing at stake I want to say while it is still true that this is a fun football game

14 14 WE GOOD WE FINE EVERYBODY BREATHE #Browns #DawgPound

Ravens fan, and I will say the thing neither side wants. The two touchdowns against Cleveland today were one bad angle and one very good receiver getting behind somebody once. Everything since has been one team moving the ball and one team not. Watch the drives.

HALF · CLE 30, TB 14. Tampa Bay is 0 for 6 on third down and has not been inside the Cleveland 20.

Cleveland leads 30-14 at the half in Tampa. Tampa Bay has not converted a third down and has not reached the Cleveland 20.

denzel boston over zyon mccollum

#Browns 30, #Buccaneers 14 at the half. Cleveland has a touchdown on all four red-zone trips. Todd Bowles has now allowed 72 points in six quarters as the man calling his own defense.

we are up twenty on new england and my entire timeline is a browns game. mine. my timeline

the giants are losing and cleveland is up 16 in tampa and i am watching both of these things incorrectly at the same time lol

30 POINTS IN A HALF ON THE ROAD 👀 LIKE if you have not moved off this couch since one oclock #Browns

Mets have now blown three in eight days and I am supposed to be able to concentrate on a 1pm window

44

Cleveland 44, Tampa Bay 14 after three quarters. The Browns scored 35 last Sunday in Jacksonville.

the cleveland browns are winning a road game by thirty points and i need one person to explain to me, calmly, without doing a bit, what is going on down there

my dad passed in 2011 and i have thought about him four separate times this afternoon and i am not a person who does that

so the browns have a good defense now?? since when. i watched every game last year

We've got to execute better.

half of raymond james is in the parking lot with twenty minutes left in a home game and i am not going to say one word about any of them

my group chat has been going since one oclock and four of the people in it have never texted me about football in nine years of knowing them

carson schwesinger. second one.

he caught that with the hand he holds his phone with

STATEMENT FROM THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: Following a review of the third and fourth quarters, the club will no longer be throwing the football in the direction of number 49. The organization thanks Mr. Schwesinger for his patience and asks that he be nowhere near it.

put that man in canton put me in the ground

our quarterback threw this on purpose at a man in a brown jersey and i have a nine oclock meeting tomorrow and i am going to have to be a person in it

I have watched maybe six full NFL games this season and that is the best thing that has happened in any of them and it happened in a game that is 44 to 14

49!!!!!! THATS OUR GUY THATS OUR GUY #Browns #DawgPound #Cleveland #NFL

Green dot
2 picks
4 PBUs
Best off ball LB in football and it stopped being a ? about an hour ago

How a second-year off-ball linebacker has more passes defensed than every cornerback in the National Football League.

Schwesinger agenda

That was not luck & it was not "instincts"! Watch his eyes on the snap -- he is on the guard & the QB's front shoulder at the same time, which is a fourth-year skill in a second-year player! Ppl are going to call it a gift. It is PREPARATION. Somebody in that building is teaching it!

Carson Schwesinger. 23 years old. Green dot on the helmet. Two picks and four balls broken up today, w/ a linebacker's body and a safety's eyes. He ANTICIPATES. Everybody in that building has been telling us this since last October and the rest of us were busy arguing about something else.

FINAL · CLE 54, TB 14. CLE 477 yards, 6.8/play, 26 first downs, 5-13 3rd down, 4-4 4th down, 1 TO, 1 sack allowed, 2 punts. TB 292 yards, 12 first downs, 0-11 3rd down, 0 red zone trips, 4 INT.

The Cleveland Browns' first two games under head coach and general manager Nick Mansour:

35-7 at Jacksonville
54-14 at Tampa Bay
89 points, most in the NFL
44.5 per game, most in the NFL
0 interceptions thrown
4-for-4 on fourth down today

#Browns 54, #Buccaneers 14. Cleveland has the best scoring offense in football through two weeks. Tampa Bay has allowed 86 points, most in the league, and is 0-2 with no defensive coordinator on staff.

Cleveland today: 477 yards, 6.8 a play, 26 first downs, seven red-zone touchdowns on eight trips, four-for-four on fourth down, one sack allowed, two punts. Tampa Bay: zero for eleven on third down, zero red-zone trips, four interceptions. Cleveland ran it 29 times for 84.

I said Tampa laying four and a half at home. They lost by forty. I am going to sit here quietly for a while and then I am going to look at the Thursday number for Week 4 and behave differently.

Todd Bowles on his defense after allowing 54: "We are who we are."

We've got to execute better.

Mansour in eleven minutes. Concrete room off the north tunnel, folding table, no chairs #Browns

Congratulations on a very impressive afternoon. Eleven days from Thursday. We will be there and we will bring our own corner.

browns head coach asked about leading the league in scoring

#Browns Nick Mansour gave the game ball to Darnell Savage in the visiting locker room at Raymond James. It is the second Sunday in a row he has given one away and the second Sunday in a row he has not kept anything:

two football games, both against teams that are 0-2 tonight, one of which has no defensive coordinator because their head coach would not hire one. i am having an unbelievable time. i am not confused about what i am having it about

im not going to say anything about the season and im not going to say anything about him. what i watched today was a coverage getting changed in the first quarter after we got beat twice deep, and then it worked for three hours. i have not been able to type that sentence about this team in my adult life and i dont know what to do with it

I still do not follow football and I still check the score of this one team every Sunday because of one thing a man said into a microphone in January. Today they won by forty. I am told that is a lot. It sounds like a lot.

Browns-Bucs quick notes

29 carries, 84 yards, and they win by 40, which is a sentence I did not think I would be typing this year. Switzer got to quick game and RPO answers by the second quarter and basically never went back to it.

Vita Vea had six for loss and won inside on almost every rep - that is a real problem and it does not go away against a team that can also cover.

Hard to have a huge takeaway on the coverage change until somebody with a passing game makes them hold it

The Beatles had a hard cap problem that nobody wants to talk about. Lennon and McCartney ate 80 percent of it, Harrison was on a rookie deal writing better songs than either of them, and there was no realistic path to keeping that room together past the third album.

out of respect for the tampa bay buccaneers there will be no browns rebuild video this week

i had it edited. it goes in the folder

This is from April of 2025. It is still up and it has never been edited. Counting it for him.

89 POINTS IN TWO WEEKS. BEST OFFENSE IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. 👀 LIKE if you are all the way in on this football team #Browns #DawgPound

Four interceptions. FOUR. Against a quarterback the Browns cut and a coach who used to work for them. Ask yourselves who benefits from a 40 point road win in Week 2 for a franchise that just wrote off a hundred and seventeen million dollars and needs a story. I will wait and I will be here when you are ready.

my mother called me at nine at night to ask what a green dot on a helmet is. she is seventy one. i explained it wrong and she said thank you sweetheart and hung up

#Browns Nick Mansour on why Darnell Savage never came off the field after 150 yards in the first quarter, what Mike Rutenberg and Brandon Lynch changed at the eight-minute mark, and who taught it to him on a folding table: --->

North practice field in Berea gets resodded the week of the bye. Second time in three years + the indoor turf is going in the spring #Browns

More about Cleveland's coverage change in Tampa Bay, and the eight minutes that produced it, via @MaryKayCabot:

From @GMFB: what the #Browns did to a passing game after the first quarter and why coaches around the league spent Monday morning on it, plus where the #Seahawks go at 0-2 four months after a parade, and the #Buccaneers' coordinator question that will not go away.

On @GMFB this morning -- the two rookie receivers in Cleveland. Boston and Concepcion. 15 catches between them yesterday, 201 yards, a touchdown, and a punt return average nobody in this league is anywhere near. Best young receiver room in football. Second-round pick and a trade-up. Somebody in that building can do this part.

Was going through the Browns Tampa tape this morning to figure out what happened to Darnell Savage in the first quarter and got to the eight minute mark and my brain went completely blank, WHO IS TEACHING THIS, because they stopped asking him to run with anybody and started asking him to see things, and then - oh yeah, that is the coordinator they hired out of Atlanta in February

louis riddick on nfl live

What #Browns Mike Rutenberg changed in the first quarter in Tampa, and why Darnell Savage stayed outside:

I had the #Buccaneers at 14 in my Deep Dive and I (like I think a lot of you were?) was way too casual about what it means to have no Defensive Coordinator in a Building. Thanks to everybody who has been decent about it in my mentions! I stand by the Roster take though

Cleveland's actual problem is inside
29 for 84
Vea won 6 for loss by himself
Not a ? you solve in a week

For what it's worth, Cleveland got 84 yards on 29 carries on Sunday and scored 54 points, and I cannot think of a real precedent for that combination in the last twenty years. The hard part, however, is that one man did that to them by himself, and nobody keeps giving an offense a light box once they have watched somebody get away with it.

urban meyer, this morning

I said at 11am yesterday that "establishing the run" was never about the yards & then Cleveland handed it off 29 times for 84 yards & scored 54! Ppl are going to tell you their run game failed. Their run game did its JOB -- it kept a light box on the field & it made the safeties honest for four quarters!

Nick Mansour was asked about this on Sunday, before any of it was on television. He did not push back on it.

HE SAID WHAT HE SAID 👀 RESPECT THE MAN #Browns #DawgPound

jamar whittle, on the podcast this afternoon

Through two weeks. Most points per game: Cleveland, 44.5, the most in football. Fewest: Tennessee, 13. Most total yards: Denver, 1,310. Fewest points allowed: the Rams, 20. Most points allowed: Tampa Bay, 86.

Through two weeks - my top 15 defensive players in the league so far, with the caveat that it is two weeks and half of this list will look stupid by Halloween. Full write-up and the honorable mentions at the link.

Cleveland sat in off-zone for basically the whole back three quarters and Tampa never once attacked the third level with a two-man concept. If you make a quarterback be perfect underneath for three hours he is not going to be, and Mayfield was not.

ICYMI: How #Browns Darnell Savage described the eight minutes between the second touchdown he gave up and the coverage change, why he says he was never told he was coming out, and what Brandon Lynch drew on a folding table: --->

we won a super bowl in february. we are 0-2. we just lost to arizona. and the story of the weekend is a browns game. i would like a full refund on this calendar year

The Denzel Boston catch over Zyon McCollum was absolutely the best rep by a rookie receiver I have watched this season and it is not particularly close, he absolutely boxed a good corner out on a nine route which is not a thing rookies do

Two of my fourth graders wore Browns shirts today. One of them asked me whether a linebacker is allowed to catch the ball. I said yes and then I had to go look it up on my lunch to be sure. #Browns #Cleveland

"ThEy HaVeNt PlAyEd AnYbOdY" is a real argument and also every single 2-0 team in this League has a Schedule they did not choose... The Browns get theirs on a Thursday Night in eleven days on their own field and we will all find out together, like adults .

ICYMI, the AFC North episode is up. I can't promise it's coherent - we recorded it at midnight and E.J. spent nine minutes of it on a pirate ship.

My #Browns Week 2 breakdown is up. Nearly 3 Hours. Might be the most fun I have had making a video all Year😀

Cleveland opened +5000 to win the AFC in July. It is +2200 tonight. I am not telling anybody to do anything. I am telling you what the number did in forty-eight hours.

0-2. i watched the entire thing yesterday and i have no notes because i have nothing to say. jeudy caught some of them

in madden 27 the browns are a 78 overall and carson schwesinger is an 81. i am not editing this photo i am just holding it up to yall

why is the yankees broadcast doing a four minute segment about a dog in the stands. i am watching a baseball game. i tuned in for a baseball game

live in 20 on youtube and twitch. browns rebuild ep 3 and then whatever yall want after

Huh??

the quarterback argument is happening somewhere else today and i want to say publicly that it has been the nicest monday i have had in two years

An offensive line coach with sixteen years in this league and five clubs said this to a reporter, on the record, this afternoon. I am posting it because I think Cleveland fans should read it and not because I want them to feel bad.

monday of a week where we won by forty and i have spent most of it reading men who have coached for thirty years explain why it does not count, and the strange part is that i agree with a lot of it and i am still going to be insufferable on thursday the first

Get-in price, Steelers at Browns, Thursday October 1. Saturday morning: $94. This morning: $228. It is the biggest three-day move on any regular season game in our data since the 2024 opener.

denzel ward gets traded to us in august and nine days from now he walks back into that building on a thursday night with the whole country watching. the schedule came out in may. nobody arranged this. it is just funny and it is going to be loud

8:15 on a thursday night in october and we are the game. WE are the game. i want everyone to understand what has happened to us

#Browns had no one in the training room Monday and Nick Mansour said there is nothing to put on Wednesday's report. What that means for a short week they can already see coming, and where Denzel Ward's name has and has not come up in Berea: --->

Panthers first. Thursday the 1st is Week 4

AFC defensive player of the week is announced Wednesday. Carson Schwesinger on Sunday: 11 tackles, 4 for loss, a sack, a quarterback hit, two interceptions, four passes defensed. He leads the NFL in passes defensed with six and he is 23 years old.

Yup.

Nine days out and the Thursday night game is already the most requested credential of the season for that building. Ward. Two first-round picks. A 2-0 team that everybody in the sport is arguing about. Pittsburgh coming off 30-3. It's going to be a night. --Somebody at the league office, to me, this morning

I bought my seats back in February and Thursday October 1 is the first one I have been genuinely excited about. I want to be careful about how much I put on a football game.

New one is up. What Cleveland actually changed in Tampa and how much of it holds up against a team with a real passing game

Thursday Oct 1
Best offense in the league so far vs a defense that just gave up 3 points
Ward vs the receivers they drafted to replace what they traded him for
Biggest ? of the first month

our defensive coordinator search is now in its ninth month and the leading candidate remains the man who already has a job here

Harold Fannin leads the entire National Football League in total touchdowns and he is on 51 percent of rosters. KC Concepcion leads the league in punt return average and is on nine percent. I have done what I can for you.

Had said in August that the interior of that offensive line was going to decide what this Cleveland season actually was, and then a 350-pound man had six tackles for loss on Sunday and everybody spent two days talking about a scoring title....

i have looked at cleveland's roster three separate times today like a man checking whether he left the stove on and i keep arriving at the same two rookie receivers and a linebacker and i do not like any of it

Nine days. I have already put in for the Friday off and I am not going to sit here and pretend that is about the football.

👀 NINE DAYS. THURSDAY NIGHT. NATIONAL TELEVISION. LIKE if you have already told your boss #Browns #DawgPound #Cleveland

browns steelers thursday night in nine days is going to be the most watched regular season game of the year and none of yall are ready for the pregame graphics they are going to make about a 28 year old

my dad had these seats from 1979 until he died and my brother has them now and he called me tonight to ask whether i wanted the thursday one. i said yes before he finished the sentence and then we both sat there on the phone not saying anything for a while

two weeks ago i had this team at four wins and i have not moved it. i have not moved one thing. i just keep putting the television on

carolina sunday. one oclock. at home. against a team that just beat atlanta and has a quarterback averaging almost nine yards a carry. that is the actual next football game and nobody in this city has said one word about it since sunday night
