Arkansas Bengal Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 QB Deshaun Watson among 5 captains picked by Browns players Jake Trotter, ESPN Staff WriterAug 31, 2023, 01:55 PM ET CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns have named quarterback Deshaun Watson one of their five captains. Watson is entering his first full season as Cleveland's starter. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said the players voted on the captains. "Deshaun, it's very, very natural for him to lead," Stefanski said. "And I think he's comfortable leading from out in front. I think he's comfortable from leading and letting his teammates get credit. That's just something he's always done his whole life. And just the way he's integrated himself into this football team is impressive to watch." Watson was suspended 11 games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after he was accused by more than two dozen women of sexual assault and sexual misconduct during massage sessions. Before the start of last season, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called Watson's behavior "predatory" and "egregious." Watson has settled 23 civil lawsuits against him. Two lawsuits remain active. After the suspension, Watson returned for Cleveland's final six games last season. The Browns traded for Watson in March 2022. They sent the Houston Texans three first-round picks in the blockbuster deal, then gave Watson a new five-year contract worth an NFL-record $230 million fully guaranteed. "From the moment he got here until now," Stefanski said of Watson, "just seeing how he's gotten to know everybody on his team, how he pushes them, how he motivates them, I think you're seeing a lot of examples of high-quality leadership from Deshaun in particular." All-Pro guard Joel Bitonio, linebacker Anthony Walker Jr., All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett and deep snapper Charley Hughlett were named Cleveland's other captains. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38299666/qb-deshaun-watson-5-captains-voted-browns-players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Times change…younger “fans” replace older ones. “Loyalty” can be fleeting—especially in recent times. I can remember Riverfront having a long streak of sellouts, over quite a few years. This was whether the team was competitive or crap. Didn’t see that post 2000. And is “loyalty” based on ticket sales, eyeballs on TV, or gear sales? Or all of the three? Seems like a drive-by poll of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 ^ Hard to have a fan base, when the majority of your fans would not trust leaving their daughter or wife in the room with their starting QB for even 30 seconds without police supervision. What is there to root for at this point? Sports is based on the idea that you live vicariously through the athlete's themselves. Is that possible with a serial predator that pokes his dick in anything that's scared or crying (unless you're one yourself)? I hope Tre or Reader breaks Rub&Tug's leg on Sunday. Literally, I want it snapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basing your conclusion on what exactly, counselor? It’s a statement about the fickleness of fans and media. Or don’t you conclude that exists either?

Arkansas Bengal Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Denzel Ward remains out of practice for Browns By Myles Simmons Published September 4, 2023 11:30 AM As the Browns gear up to play the Bengals for Week 1, they are still without one of their key defensive players. According to multiple reporters on the scene, Cleveland cornerback Denzel Ward is not practicing on Monday and remains in concussion protocol. Ward suffered the head injury during the Browns’ last preseason game against the Chiefs. Cleveland played most of its starters in that exhibition contest while Kansas City did not. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2018 draft, Ward has been one of the Browns’ best defensive players for years. In 2022, he recorded 15 passes defensed, three interceptions, and took two fumbles back for touchdowns in 14 games. Cleveland will issue its first injury report of the season on Wednesday. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/cincinnati-bengals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
