It looked similar to what we've seen in Berea, but Saturday was most definitely not in Berea.
The Browns boarded the buses and headed north to their home along the shore of Lake Erie for the first time in the 2019 preseason. Thousands of fans lined up outside the gates three hours before the scheduled start in anticipation of their first glimpse of the 2019 Browns -- and they were not disappointed.
Here are our observations from Day 9 of #BrownsCamp -- this time, from FirstEnergy Stadium.

[*]
[b]1. Young linebackers steadily improving[/b]
A day after making the most athletic play of training camp, Mack Wilson continued to build on his positive momentum, intercepting another pass during 7-on-7s.

The best part? Wilson completed the interception, made on the other side of the 50, by running down the sideline through the goal line. The fans ate it up, cheering with escalating volume as his stride got him closer to the pylon.
Wilson and fellow rookie Sione Takitaki had good practices Saturday, with Takitaki flying in off the edge on one particular play and nearly blowing up a running play that was going away from him. He pounded the ground in frustration afterward, knowing how close he'd come to a tackle for loss. Ultimately, the play went for no gain.
Takitaki has consistently played well since he was scolded for playing too hard in the shorts and jerseys portion of camp. Wilson has really started to come on strong in the last 48 hours. If both continue on this path upward, the Browns might suddenly find themselves with seriously enviable depth at linebacker.
[b]2. A standout Brown for the Browns[/b]
With Demetrius Harris and Seth DeValve sidelined due to concussions, Pharaoh Brown has seen additional playing time, even appearing with the first team for good chunks of time in the last two days. He made the most of it Saturday, catching multiple passes throughout the practice, including two on a drive that saw the first-team offense finish in the end zone.
The best part: He's the one who scored the touchdown, running a flag route down the seam, bending it away from the hash inside the 5-yard line and catching a well-placed Baker Mayfield pass in the end zone.
"Pharaoh's just like everybody else. He's trying to work and get better," Kitchens said. "He's not a finished product but he's definitely in the competition and he's gonna keep working."
Brown is in a loaded tight end group, but he's taking advantage of this unexpected opportunity, coming a long way from the huge tight end who struggled to make contested grabs to one who's becoming rather sure-handed.

[b]3. Kicking on the upswing[/b]
Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer made it clear earlier in the week: These kickers, no matter their struggles so far, would be tested in front of 30,000-plus fans Saturday.
For the most part, they answered the call.
Greg Joseph went a perfect 5-for-5 in the kicking session, and Austin Seibert hit 3-of-5 attempts. In game situations later, Joseph drilled a 51-yarder, while Seibert converted a 33-yarder. Priefer said Thursday he tends to put more stock in situational kicks -- meaning both passed that test Saturday -- because of the pressure associated. But with more than 30,000 fans waiting to see who the answer might be for their Browns at kicker, all of those kicks came with pressure.
Still, we're far from learning who will end up handling those duties in the regular season.
"It's strictly a day-by-day until we have to decide," Kitchens said after practice.
[b]4. Receivers continue battling[/b]

Fans got their helping of passes to Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry on Saturday as expected, especially early in 11-on-11 action, but the efforts of two lesser-known receivers jumped out.
It comes as no surprise that one of those receivers is Derrick Willies, a 6-foot-4 target Kitchens described as "rangy" after practice. He continues to do exactly what Kitchens wants out of his players, which is play with consistency. Willies has been the same day in and day out throughout this camp and is building a strong case for the final 53.
"He has been working every day," Mayfield said of Willies after practice Saturday. "He is showing he really wants it with the hours he is putting in. It is not just the bare minimum, you can tell he was working in the offseason and he showed up ready for camp. Now he has to just continue to study the playbook, we have everything installed now, and he just has to go out there and consistently do it at a high level.”
The other is Jaelen Strong, a former third-round pick of the Texans who was out of the league in 2018 due to an ACL injury and has spent this offseason remaking his body in order to become a quicker, more durable target. It seems to be working, as he's making plenty of contested catches and is quietly stringing together solid practices.
He also had a highlight grab Saturday:

The competition for these spots continues to be fierce, but like a good student knows, add enough star stickers to your column on the chart and after a while, you'll start to get noticed.
[b]5. Get 2 School launch[/b]

Over 30,000 tickets were sold for Saturday's event at FirstEnergy Stadium with all proceeds going to the Cleveland Browns Foundation's Get 2 School program, which focuses on eliminating barriers that cause chronic absenteeism in students with the goal of increasing their chances of success by regularly attending school.
Prior to the Orange & Brown Scrimmage, the Foundation held a launch event for the Get 2 School program, which began as a partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District but is now going statewide with the hopes of positively impacting as many students as possible. Along with owner Dee Haslam, Browns alumnus Michael Lehan, a 2003 draft pick of the team, returned to the stadium for the event to speak about his experiences as a school administrator and emphasized the importance of good attendance to the students assembled at the event.
Lehan's message was inspiring and helped kick off the expansion of the program, which benefitted from those attending the scrimmage Saturday. To read more about the event and the program, click here.
The Browns have an off day Sunday before returning for their first game week. The team will host the Washington Redskins at FirstEnergy Stadium on Thursday night.

I get the feeling fans, the media, and especially Cowherd will consider the Browns' season a failure if they don't finish with at least 10 wins, host a playoff game, and get to the AFC Championship game.

I originally came here to post... Browns sign former Ohio State DT Tracy Sprinkle
https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2019/08/...source=smg&utm_medium=wasabi&utm_content=home-most-popular

After the AAF folded, we discussed the top players that would fit the Cleveland Browns from the league and Sprinkle actually made the cut. It is obvious Sprinkle has the size and he proved he was not completely unathletic when he cracked the five-second mark in his forty at his pro day, but what always held him back at Ohio State and apparently in Carolina was his total and complete lack of effort. His effort was on full display in the AAF as he was a disruptive force. He proved it with five sacks coming from the interior.

Expectations for this signing need to be tempered as not only could Sprinkle fall back into his lazy playing ways, he also has some off-field baggage. Most fans will remember the infamous night Sprinkle was booted from a bar named “Grown & Sexy Lounge” when he was a Buckeye, which is especially sad considering his play on the field never erased that embarrassing moment and iconic bar name from any fans memory.

I'll consider the Browns season a success if they win 2+ games.

Should have been worse. Browns looked damn good. Rookie linebacker Mack Wilson has the look of a future star. Baker was money with his one drive. So much talent.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi played at a no-name school, crashed NFL tryouts and had to sleep outside and in a 24-hour gym just to try to get a shot to make the team.
In his first preseason game with the Browns on Thursday, he found himself in the end zone.

Sheehy-Guiseppi fielded his first punt return in the preseason against the Washington Redskins and made the most of it – returning the ball to the end zone for an 86-yard touchdown. The score was part of the Browns†blowout 30-10 win against the Redskins.
After he got into the end zone, his teammates dog-piled on top of him.
“I felt all the love,” he told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer after the game. “I couldnâ€t breathe under the pile. I was over there gasping for air, but I felt all the love. I saw all of them come running down there and it was just a blessing.”

DALLAS DE QUINN SUSPENDED 2 GAMES OVER PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS
Sheehy-Guiseppi told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo that he wore his teammate Odell Beckham Jr.'s cleats because he had misplaced the ones he wanted to initially wear during the game.

Another cool twist on this story: Sheehy-Guiseppi told me he wore Odell Beckhamâ€s cleats tonight. Says he had misplaced the ones he wanted to wear. Beckham, who has taken a liking to the kid, said, “Here, I broke these in for you.”



[url=https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1159674098827649024]



The Cleveland Plain-Dealer detailed Sheehy-Guiseppiâ€s journey in a profile in May.
Sheehy-Guiseppi was a kick returner for Division II Phoenix College and didnâ€t receive a scholarship. He searched for another school but was told he only had one year of NCAA eligibility left and didnâ€t have enough credits to transfer. He had one option left: to turn pro.
Sheehy-Guiseppi tried out for the Canadian Football League and multiple times for the Arena Football League but failed to make a team. At that point, he had already been in Arizona for a year and spent $100 participating in the CFL tryout, according to the newspaper.
He then had made a connection with someone from a flag football league. The person let him know of a tryout taking place in Florida and to be on the lookout for Alonzo Highsmith, the vice president of player personnel for the Browns, at the tryout, the Plain-Dealer reported. Sheehy-Guiseppi was prepped and ready for the tryout. As soon as he saw Highsmith, he knew he had to introduce himself.
