INSTANT REACTION! Browns vs. Vikings NFL Preseason Week 2 Ft. 2 Injuries + D’Onta Foreman

[Music] the Browns drop preseason week two to the Vikings 27 to2 in a game that I don't want anyone to overreact to I don't know how clear I can make it when I say that's not the 2024 Browns like the guys on the field are all fighting for the 53rd spot on the roster for the most part with one or two exceptions and practice squad spots so that's why I don't get panicked over how the team looks in the preseason Browns fan should know better than anyone else that preseason wins do not translate to regular season wins and the same should apply to losses but here are the final stats from the Browns preseason loss Nick mullen's probably the player of the game for both teams he was kind of carving up that Browns defense to open up the game and went 135 yards and one touchdown against primarily all second but even some third stringers for the Browns defense uh there were some good spots like Shelby Harris we saw him play here's one of the few like actual impactful players meaningful guys that even suited up for this game but probably the lone bright spot I would say for the Browns and I don't think the stats actually do it justice but Deontay Foreman 10 carries 18 yards one touchdown his yardage and carry started to ruin his average because he was running behind like I don't even know like I I think CFL would be a disservice to describe how deep the Browns had to go at offensive tackle James Hudson who started off at right tackle eventually switched to left tackle he suffered an ankle injury no update on him akima Den suffered a I believe knee injury after trying to tackle a Vikings player following an interception but Deontay Foreman was probably one of the more impactful guys in the game all together it was our first look at him and with Nick chub still on the pup list as we get closer and closer to week one don't be surprised if you see Deontay Foreman really push Jerome forward for the amount of carries they each get in week one against the Cowboys so keep an eye on Foreman uh another receiver that jumped out to me Jamari thrash he continues to make some really good plays as a rookie three grabs for 25 yards I think he's going to be a lock to make this roster as the Browns wide receiver competition continues to get stiffer and stiffer between David Bell Jaylen Darden um James prochet for special teams so definitely some fun battles going on for wide receiver six but I mean at the end of the day this was a preseason game and it showed through and through Browns played third and fourth stringers for the most part not no starters played really at all want to count like Devin bush Okay um but no it was all backups and even a lot of the backups didn't play I mean nearly 40 guys did not suit up for the Browns so these are not games that you should make big deals out of I I know that a game but I just I I cannot express enough how little emphasis I place in the outcome of this preseason game when there's not a single starter on the field for the Browns it's not the 2024 Browns it's the practice squad playing against the Vikings practice squad so Vikings they had some really good moments defensively against Tyler Huntley in the second half uh I don't think Tyler Huntley is going to be here much longer I feel like the Browns know that DTR is their qb3 I wouldn't be surprised if they move on from Huntley as soon as tomorrow so that he has an opportunity to go sign somewhere else and maybe suit up for them in the final game of the preseason so keep an eye on that but to me it appears that DTR has separated himself Hunley had some bad picks today I mean wasn't perfect either it wasn't as good as he probably was last week but Huntley going 14 for 20 135 yards two interceptions it's just likely that Browns go with Dorian Thompson Robinson as their third quarterback who is 13 for 17 for 126 yards his one interception was a tip pass from Jamari thrash so I didn't get a good enough look at it to know who to sign blame to if it was just a really good play by the defender and unlucky for DTR or if that's something thrash should have caught so I think if you're wondering how the qb3 battle is shaping up it's really favoring DTR plus being a fifth round draft pick last year the back of your head that's got to factor in a little bit when making the decision also I don't know the Browns had the next like white Randy Moss uh giovan RI the fullback four grabs 32 yards out of nowhere unfortunately he suffered a knee injury missed the entire second half but like that was kind of a pleasant surprise that I wasn't expecting at all so that was cool that kind of got us through a little bit of a sleeper of a game um offensive tackle is an issue now the good news is these aren't the starters the bad news is the starters are still on the pup list Jed wills and Jack Conlin so it is important to watch James Hudson and jera Fetti whereas if we're talking about the backup like wide receivers thinking okay the good news is those aren't the starters but as of now I think J Hudson is on a path to start week one at left tackle and he was not very impressive he suffered an ankle injury so the Browns I think are going to be shopping for offensive tackles I think they're going to try and bring someone in hold them over until wills and or Conlin return which by the way what's going on with them I I feel like we were I wouldn't say led to believe but I think collectively everyone thought based on when Conlin got hurt last year early in the season season and the type of injury will sustained and we seeing him throughout the spring a little bit that they would not be on the pess going into week three of the preas like that surprises me so I'm starting to get concerned because we're now no longer just like six weeks away from week one no it's creeping up on us it's three weeks away so the Browns need to figure out what their plan is at offensive tackle now I I don't want them to try and you know sit on their hands and hope that one of the two injured guys comes back soon um really quickly though I do want to give a quick shout out to our friends at Fanatics who have an awesome deal right now where if you want to get this David and joku Jersey 25% off all you got to do is go to chatsports.com joku so put that link in and you'll get this David and joku Jersey awaiting you for 25% off you're not going to find a better deal like that for a jersey this close to the season so go to chatsports.com Goku but just to put a bow on the browns offensive line conversation like Hudson and adenna are both you know injured your only option really is Germain a Fetti or a free agent like I don't think there was anyone else on this roster you trust Michael dun a left tackle of course not like do you want to try Dean Jones at left tackle and try to place one of your guards at right tackle or place one of your guards at Right Guard and kick teller to tackle like are you going to get that creative for week one unlikely so the Browns um from this preseason game I don't think they showed us anything that requires like any big strong reaction just hope that they can get healthy at offensive tackle and Deontay foran showing us some really positive stuff going into the final preseason game which by the way will be next Saturday in Seattle 1 p.m. eastern time kickoff yeah that sucks now I'm going to be at my grandma's 80th birthday so I don't believe I'll be having a watch party like I always do Nanny would be a little upset if the computer came out for a watch party but if she goes to bed early you might sneak one in so TBD a little bit on that front but make sure to subscribe to the channel don't miss a single thing when it comes to the Browns all season long all year long we always have a blast here and you're not going to want to you're not going to want to miss it so hit the sub button down below and let me know what your grade is so far for the Browns through two preseason games they're 0 and two losses to the I already forgot who they lost to last week uh the Packers and the Vikings so how would you grade the Browns so far A B C D or F let me know I would give them like a c minus D Plus plus but I'm grading the backups that's not something that I think should apply to the starters and that's who represents the 2024 Cleveland Browns all right we'll let you guys get on with the rest of your Saturday night appreciate everyone for hanging out with us go brownies and we'll see you all later [Music]
