MRKH was ist das? » From opening-drive touchdown

Briean Boddy-Calhoun Jersey , to the play of the rookies and the dominance of Myles Garrett, there was much to like." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTThe Cleveland Browns opened the 2019 preseason on Thursday night with a 30-10 victory over the Washington Redskins.As far as first preseason games go, the Browns checked off all the appropriate boxes:The starters got some time together as well as the opportunity to hit an opposing player rather than a teammateThe rookies had a chance to state their case for a roster spotMost importantly, the Browns walked out of the game without any serious injuriesAll in all, it was a good first step, head coach Freddie Kitchens told clevelandbrowns.com: “It was good to finally get a chance to compete against other people, and I am very happy. Our guys felt excited. They were excited and did a god job of competing on an every play. It was not always pretty, but I thought they competed the whole game, even to the end.”Here are three takeaways from the game as the Browns prepare for next week’s joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts leading up to the second preseason game.The offense is going to be funQuarterback Baker Mayfield only played one series, but he made the most of his time on the field. Running an un-tempo offense that the Browns will hopefully more of this fall, Mayfield led the Browns to a touchdown on their first possession of the night Joe Schobert Color Rush Jersey , completing five-of-six passes for 77 yards and a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Rashard Higgins.Related: Baker Mayfield’s no-huddle TD driveTwo things stand out about that drive. The first is that the Browns did it with starting wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry on the sidelines. In their place, Mayfield connected with Higgins, wide receiver Jaelen Strong, and running backs Nick Chubb and Dontrell Hillard as the Browns moved easily down the field.If the Browns can be that effective with two of their top wideouts on the sidelines, imagine how things will look with Beckham and Landry on the field?The second is the offense clearly had a plan for the opening drive of the game and was able to execute it. That may not sound like much, but given how many times over the years that the Browns have opened a game resembling a bunch of players who are just meeting for the first time, it was nice to see.The rookies get loudWith several of the veterans and first-teamers seeing little to no action on Thursday, it was a opportunity for the rookies to grab some attention. Linebacker Mack Wilson had a pair of interceptions - returning one for a touchdown that included an impressive stiff arm on Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins - as he continued a strong week of practice.Cornerback Greedy Williams also had an interception and rebounded nicely after an early coverage mixup with rookie safety Sheldrick Redwine that resulted in a Washington touchdown.But the highlight of the night may have been delivered by Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi, who returned a fourth-quarter punt 86 yards for a touchdown.Myles Garrett is a nightmareAt this point, it probably goes without saying, but defensive end Myles Garrett is a nightmare for opposing offenses. Garrett only played one series against Washington https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Ricardo-Louis-Jersey , but he made the most of it as he drew a holding penalty (one of four holding calls against the Redskins on the series) and was clearly too fast for the offensive line.All in all, not a bad way to start the preseason for the guys in Orange and Brown.What do you think, Browns fans? What stood out for you from Thursday night’s game? The Browns traded offensive lineman Austin Corbett to the Rams last week and General Manager John Dorsey admitted to ” a few conversations” with Washington that many believe were about a potential trade for Washington’s disgruntled left tackle Trent Williams.That deal may never come to fruition, but the Corbett trade and other in-house developments suggest the team will make changes under any circumstances. Left tackle is a spot to watch as Greg Robinson has struggled and Justin McCray got some work there as the Browns returned from bye week to practice on Monday.Head coach Freddie Kitchens noted McCray has also seen work at other positions and that the team is looking at various options.“We had several guys getting reps are different positons today,” Kitchens said at his Monday press conference. “We are not ready to say anything yet. . . . If we are contemplating moves, you take into account everything and try to predict the future a little bit. Ultimately, it is our job to get the best people out there that give us the best chance to win one game. That is all we are looking to do is just win one game right now.”Whatever changes the team decides to make, the group will need to gel quickly as the Browns face the Patriots on the road in Week Eight in a bid to avoid their third straight loss.
