Cleveland Browns Training Camp: Notes and Observations From Days 3 and 4
I was able to take in both Friday and Saturday's practice in Berea. Here are my notes and thoughts.
Practice Notes – Days 3 & 4
The Browns continued installing Todd Monken’s offense over both practices, with execution taking a back seat to teaching and communication.
Day 3: The emphasis was on third-and-extra-long situations, allowing the offense to work through longer-developing concepts while the defense focused on getting off the field.
Day 4: The focus shifted to red-zone work and situational hurry-up.
Installation periods continued to be run at roughly half speed, as the priority remained learning assignments, motions, and adjustments before the intensity increases later in camp.
Quarterback Notes – Day 3
Deshaun Watson worked primarily with the first-team offense.
Friday’s practice was a tale of two halves. He struggled early with timing and consistency before settling in and finishing stronger as practice progressed.
Even with the improved finish, Watson still hasn’t put together the type of practice that clearly separates him from the rest of the quarterback room. More on that later.
Shedeur Sanders turned in one of his sharpest practices of camp, displaying good timing, accuracy, and decisiveness while leading the second-team offense.
Sanders connected multiple times with rookie receivers Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, continuing to build chemistry with the Browns’ young pass catchers.
