    if it wasnt preseason this would not be an issue

    This is dumb. ODB damn sure didn't pretend like it was preseason by trying to make a great catch. Dude who made the hit ain't got a guaranteed spot on the roster, he simply made a play like he was supposed to.

    If this was practice or happened in training camp, in which a scrub player on the bubble did a hit on established veteran, he would have been dealt with on the spot.

    Wtf? This aint even close to neither one of those situations.

    Its a fringe player on the bubble trying to make a play going low by the knee with a shouder, in an exhibition game against an established player.

    Its a legal hit but in 2nd preseason game its unnecessary.

    "Hey guys, I know you may not be on the team yet and you're trying really hard to make it but I'm gonna need you to half ass it out there during tonight's gameso no one gets hurt"- Said no coach ever.

    "Hey Bruh, I know you're just a young player trying to make the team, so haul ass Rudy style on every play and make sure you go low by the knees or high by the head, especially on veteran players in these preseason games, to impress the coaches"

    -Said No Player Ever

    ? is mind boggling this got no signs, its common sense and general unwritten player rule not to go at a players knees or his head, even more so in a meaningless preseason game.

    Simple google search will show while legal, alot of NFL Players (Past and Present) aren't co-siging this hit in a preseason game last night.

    People only doing so cuz its Odell and/or Giants.

    Browns pick Kizer to start, eye Osweiler trade

    The Cleveland Browns, after naming rookie DeShone Kizer as the starting quarterback for their third preseason game, have renewed their attempt to trade veteran Brock Osweiler, a league source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

    Browns coach Hue Jackson named Kizer as the starter for Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a statement released Wednesday morning, saying the former Notre Dame signal-caller is "certainly positioning himself well to earn the starting job heading into the regular season.''

    Osweiler, who is due a guaranteed salary of $16 million for 2017, is not expected to play Saturday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.


    Asked whether he would ask for a trade, Osweiler told ESPN, "That's something I'm going to stay away from."

    "I've told you guys all along, I'm always going to just focus on the things that I can control," Osweiler said. "Right now, that's being a great teammate, that's continuing to prepare, be a pro, stay in the playbook and continue to strive to be a better player every day.

    "Our general manager and our head coach, they decide who plays and how much they play. As players, all we can do is make the most of the opportunity."

    Asked what would have to happen for him to win the job, his response was, "I think that's a great question for our general manager."

    The Browns acquired Osweiler in May as a throw-in on a deal that sent Houston's second round draft pick in 2018 to Cleveland. The Browns listened to trade offers then, but they kept Osweiler after not finding a deal they liked.

    Kizer said the opportunity to start Saturday night in Tampa Bay was "awesome."

    "Now it's about whatever I can do to go out there and compete and have the success I've had the last couple games," Kizer said.

    Osweiler played four series and two quarters in the Browns' first two preseason games. The first-team offense -- with some offensive line backups -- did not score any points in his five possessions. Osweiler completed 12 of 22 passes for 67 yards, 3 yards per attempt.

    Kizer, meanwhile, went 19-for-31 for 258 yards with 1 touchdown and 5 sacks in 2 games. The second-round pick from Notre Dame guided nine drives and scored 23 points, all the points coming against backup defenders.

    "[Kizer] has made a lot of progress by investing the time necessary to learn our offense, working hard to improve on his fundamentals while also effectively moving the offense in preseason games," Jackson said in a statement released by the team. "Development is so important for a young quarterback, this is the next step he needs to take and he deserves this opportunity.

    "We are very excited about seeing DeShone in the role of starter for this week, as he is certainly positioning himself well to earn the starting job heading into the regular season."

    "As awesome as it is, it just means I have to try to work harder," Kizer said.

    Osweiler said he had no regrets about how he approached the Browns position.

    "They know the quarterback and the teammate that I am," Osweiler said.

    In other moves, the Browns placed linebacker Tank Carder (knee) and offensive lineman Matt McCants (ankle) on injured reserve and waived defensive back Justin Currie (ankle) with an injury designation.

    Carder, who was competing for a starting role and had started both preseason games, suffered a torn ACL in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Giants and will need season-ending surgery.
