The article did mention that 4 of the 7 offensive tackles that played versus the Rams were released. It’s probably a good chance that all 4 tackles saw their snaps in the 2nd half with Shedeur.
And the flip side is that Sanders was playing against defenders that arent starters or got cut as well. Neither team had their best players in and if he was such a stud he should have been able to take advantage of that
Yeah no one is calling Sanders a stud, that’s a completely made up argument on your part.
If your OL is basically letting pass rushers speed by them on every single play it really doesn’t matter who else is on the field because the QB will never see them while laying on his back or being forced to throw it away prematurely.
Every NFL offense depends on their linemen doing their job to have any type of success and Cleveland’s line in that 2nd half looked like a bunch of dudes that were days away from hitting unemployment.
Point was its not like the starters were the ones rushing the line on the other side of the ball. At least 2 of the sacks were completely on him and it was backups and guys getting cut going against each other. There wasnt really a talent discrepancy on either side of the ball
No one is refuting that, we’ve just pointed out how badly the Browns OL was during that stretch.
It’s like you’re creating this straw man argument to continue ripping Shedeur which is fine but go take it up with someone else. I’m not defending his play in that game. I just reported how I saw it after watching the entire game. The OL was ass in that 2nd half which only made his play look even worse than it was.
Everyone in the game at that point in a preseason game isnt good Sanders included
Yup and somehow that OL managed to make those scrubs that you keep pointing out on the Rams defense look like the ‘85 Bears. You’re really just making my point for me now lol.
For whatever reason I think youre missing what Ive been saying that Sanders made them look worse.
No dude I haven’t missed a thing, you don’t like Shedeur as as an NFL QB and I’m not willing to just write the dude off after one subpar preseason game.
You’re under some impression that myself or anyone else in this thread has been severely overrating his play in some way and that crap is All In Your Head, not a single person here has done that. I just offered an honest assessment on his play that day, nothing more, and that horrible performance by his OL absolutely contributed to his underwhelming play.
The closest anyone here has come to saying anything that could be construed as positive toward his future has just been Perk predicting that he thinks he starts a game by week 5 and I’m pretty sure that prediction has more to do with Cleveland’s starting QB situation for 2025 than it does with him thinking Shedeur is a stud.
I’m done arguing this with you already so go annoy someone else for a change.

I never understand the bye weeks. How can there be 6 teams on Bye in week 8 and 0 in week 13? All other bye weeks have 2 or 4 teams; why not shift some from week 8 to 13? It makes no sense to have 0 on week 13 and then 4 on week 14
Always wondered why the NFL doesn't just have a mid season bye week for all teams. Would that not be fair to all teams? These early bye weeks seem too early for the season barely getting underway. And late bye weeks favor those teams heading into the playoffs. While other playoff bound teams without a late season bye seem at a disadvantage.
It would be more fair, but money. Networks and advertisers would be very unhappy with a week of completely nothing
Which would lead us Pro football bettors in a state of cold Turkey.😀

Hold that thought - Cleveland may actually need you this year!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
I'm happy that Adam Thielen made it back to MN. I just hope we didn't give up too much for him
Looks to me like we gave up next to nothing for him, 4th and 5th round picks and we get a 5th and 7th.
Bunch of guys who probably won't make he team.
He missed time with a hamstring injury last year, but still put up good numbers.
Good move, glad to see him back!
The way the Vikings have been drafting, maybe they should trade ALL their picks for players.
