1st play, Drew hands off to Ingram for 4 yards.
2nd play, Chase Daniel throws a quick slant to Joe Morgan

If Drew even dresses for this game I will become angry.

Does anybody here expect Chase to air it out against the Titans? If Payton were here Chase would only hand off the ball.

We still have numerous positions to evaluate. I fully expect to see our offense run all their plays so we can further get a read on those bottom of the roster guys.

I think he goes through the motions of getting prepared for the game, takes one snap (a handoff) and leaves the game.

He may not play but I'd suspect he'll dress and prepare as if he was.

This will be Toon's first game, so I expect to see a good bit of him as well as the other receivers on the bubble. So yes, I would imagine Chase will be throwing a good bit.

A little disappointed that even though they said "Titans franchise," they neglected to remind/mention that most of those games were vs. the old Houston Oilers.

I guess the NFL doesn't want to remind the fans that occasionally fans get the short end of the stick... the Oilers' fans sure did! :-P

And the Cleveland Browns' fans were prison raped.

I wonder, did all the old Browns record follow the Ravens? Did the Browns get their history back when they expanded back into the league?

Re: New Orleans Saints Face Tennessee Titans at LP Field in Preseason Finale
 

From what I understand the Browns record went with the Ravens. However, I believe that the new Browns franchise was allowed to keep the Browns old record as well.
It doesn't sound right even to me.......but that's the way I remember it going down.:dunce:

The Baltimore Ravens came into existence in 1995 when Art Modell, then owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced his intention to relocate his team from Cleveland to Baltimore. The resulting controversy ended when representatives of Cleveland and the NFL reached a settlement on February 8, 1996. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue promised the city of Cleveland that an NFL team would be located in Cleveland, either through relocation or expansion, "no later than 1999".[3] Additionally, the agreement stipulated that the Browns' name, colors, uniform design and franchise records would remain in Cleveland. The franchise history includes Browns club records and connections with Pro Football Hall of Fame players. Modell's Baltimore team, while retaining all current player contracts, would, for purposes of team history, appear as an expansion team, a "new franchise."[4] Not all players, staff or front office would make the move to Baltimore, however.

So Cleveland Browns never really stopped existing, they just suspended operations for a couple of years.
