*Raises hand up to earpiece*
Folks….hold on one second. I’m hearing….yes, yes…we can now confirm that the Cleveland Browns are indeed BACK. Multiple sources are relaying that Cleveland has an actual, counts in the standings and everything football game on Sunday, and frankly, it’s about damn time.
After a slog of a preseason and week with nothing to do but consume too much coffee, overdraft Jerome Ford in your fantasy football leagues, and refuse to mow the lawn, the Browns are back in our lives every weekend. It’s been a quiet week in Berea so far, but things are about to get very loud with the Dallas Cowboys on the horizon and Tom Brady making his debut in the FOX booth.
So, before the Browns install their gameplan, let’s get you caught up on the best pieces of content we’ve created over the last week at Browns Film Breakdown.
For those who are new: Every Wednesday, you’ll find links to the best stuff we’ve done in four different categories. We’ll start with Plays, a round up of the Film Rooms you need to watch from Sunday’s game. Then we’ll move to Audibles, highlighting the podcast episodes we think you need to catch up. Next up is Reads, gathering the articles from both us and elsewhere across the Internet you’ll want to digest. And finally, we end with Chats, catching up on the best community discussions we’ve had this week.
Get it? Got it? Good. Let’s begin.
