Browns bump Denzel Ward up to first team
Posted by Josh Alper on June 5, 2018, 4:22 PM EDT

The Browns have been adamant that Tyrod Taylor will be their starting quarterback in Week One while Baker Mayfield begins his NFL career as a backup, but their other first-round pick may not have to wait for his chance to run with the first team.

T.J. Carrie and Terrance Mitchell worked as the first-team cornerbacks during an OTA practice open to reporters last week, but Denzel Ward was alongside Carrie when team drills got underway on Tuesday. Coach Hue Jackson said he’s seen Ward “getting a little bit better” every day in practice and that’s why he got bumped up in the rotation.

Nothing short of a drug fueled trip rivalling Hunter S Thompson's suitcase could change that.
It's a pity he got Chlamydia instead of Syphilis.

Hunter S Thompson’s drug fueled trips sound like what it takes to go to a game up in Cleveland anymore.

You’ll need two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
We’ll need all of that for the trip, because once we get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as we can.

The only thing that really worries me is the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I know we’ll get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the end of the first quarter.

He was wrong about one thing ...
"There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge."

Cleveland fans on line 1 sir.

Yes and no. Now? Sure. But the book was published in 1971 and the movie came out in 1998 before we knew the eternal ineptitude that was about to transpire, starting in 1999.

What in Otto Graham's name were the Browns thinking when they drafted an undersized QB whose antics in the 'shoe earned him a lifetime of hate? He'll have to be great from his first game on to keep the boo birds from shitting all over him.

From a football POV, you're right - not that the Browns have demonstrated a football POV of late - but this is the second time they've put out big bucks to an undersized, immature QB. Unlike the first one, this guy pissed off a solid group of Buckeyes/Browns fans. If he goes out and gives a Manzell performance the pay back will be significant.

As in there would be more fan apathy than there already is? Doubtful.

If Mayfield fails, no one will be surprised. It's the Browns. It's almost an expectation.

If he succeeds, then he does and none of what he did in college is going to matter.
