Browns Lose to Eagles 21-20 in Preseason Week 2

Monday, August 22nd, 2022

The Browns and Eagles preseason match-up presented more information regarding who could be in the starting lineup. Joshua Dobbs started the game at quarterback. This could turn some heads given that we haven’t seen Jacoby Brissett take a snap for the team. One of the bright sides of this game was rookie WR David Bell. He made his first start for the team. Bell recorded 3 receptions for 46 yards. The connection between Bell and Dobbs was found early in the game showing that Bell could be a valuable asset this season.

Browns coach, Kevin Stefanski, spoke highly of Dobbs after the game.

A Quick Look at the Defense

Making an unexpected and impressive start was Linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk who the team picked up right before the Jacksonville game. He recorded 6 tackles and an assist while laying a big hit on Eagles RB Kenneth Gainwell. The only sack of the game for the Browns was credited to DE Curtis Weaver.

 

Looking forward

By the end of this game, we see the Browns are still going to be a run-first team for a while. When Watson returns in week 13, against the Texans, the scheme may change a bit. On the defensive side of the ball, the team is running more zone plays than in previous years along with more blitzing plays. This aggressive defensive play style is something that would be beneficial as the defensive is going to be relied on heavily. Moving into the final week of preseason we shouldn’t expect to see many starters playing. The regular season is just 2 weeks away. The Browns will face the Carolina Panthers and former QB Baker Mayfield.

Indians take a chance on veteran arm

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

CLEVELAND — The Indians are bolstering their contingency plan for the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona.

Garland

With one fifth of its starting rotation still stuck in the Dominican Republic and no clear timetable for his return, Cleveland signed a pitcher that could fill the void Monday, reportedly agreeing to terms on a minor league contract with right-hander Jon Garland.

The Indians, who announced Monday that they will refer to Carmona by his actual name — Roberto Hernandez — did not confirm the signing, but it is likely to be announced upon Garland passing a physical this week in Goodyear, Ariz. Cleveland pitchers and catchers report Monday.

The 32-year-old Garland, a veteran of 12 big league seasons, will compete for Hernandez’s vacant spot this spring along with David Huff, Jeanmar Gomez and Kevin Slowey, another veteran offseason acquisition.

Shoulder surgery limited Garland to just nine starts (1-4, 4.33 ERA) last year for the Dodgers, who signed him to a one-year free-agent contract worth $5 million prior to last year. But the two-time 18-game winner has been durable in the past, posting double-digit win totals while making at least 30 starts nine times during his career.

The Dodgers declined an $8 million option for 2012 on Garland, who owns a 132-119 record and a 4.32 ERA in 330 career starts. He went 14-12 with a 3.47 ERA in 33 starts for San Diego in 2010.

Garland is most recognizable to Indians fans as a member of Central Division rival Chicago’s starting staff for eight years after breaking in with the White Sox as a 20-year-old rookie in 2000. His two 18-win seasons were with Chicago in 2005-06.

The Indians have been adding depth to their pitching staff all offseason, but didn’t have an opening in the rotation until the Hernandez situation surfaced.

Hernandez, who was arrested Jan. 19 in the Dominican Republic on false identity charges, has been released but is still awaiting a visa to return to America. He is on the restricted list and does not count against the Indians’ 40-man roster, nor is Cleveland responsible for Hernandez’s salary — a $7 million option that was exercised by the club Oct. 29 – until the 31-year-old right-hander is activated.

The Indians have announced no official word on when they expect Heredia’s return and appear to be preparing for the possibility that he won’t this season.
