Hard Knocks



Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words.

"Tomorrow is the opportunity for our team to have a moment, to come in here to Orchard Park, to play one of the better AFC teams," Reich says. "We've crawled our way back up to 5-5 and now this is an opportunity to create a moment."


-- We all knew what was coming in the final episode of "Hard Knocks." That didn't make it any easier to watch, as the Browns parted ways with four players -- Brogan Roback, Nate Orchard, Devon Cajuste and Carl Nassib -- who received extensive coverage throughout the five-episode series. All four, though, got one final chance to sign in the team's preseason finale at Detroit, and they all seemed to take advantage of the extra opportunities.


-- Orchard got the call Saturday, too. It came after the fourth-year defensive end made one of the team's top plays of the preseason, nabbing a short Matt Cassel pass out of the air and returning it 64 yards for a touchdown. "Did I look like Josh Gordon out there?" Orchard asked his teammates on the sidelines. When Wolf breaks the news to Orchard, he tells Orchard he expects him to draw interest from a number of teams because of his position versatility. In the past few days, Orchard has reportedly met with a handful of teams.


-- Not all cuts come on "Cut Day," and Nassib was one of five additional players to be released Sunday after the team claimed five players on waivers. Nassib, who was claimed by the Buccaneers, expressed remorse he wouldn't be around for the team's turnaround but showed no hard feelings in a conversation with Jackson.


-- At some point during the past week, Jackson met with rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield and veteran Drew Stanton to officially name Mayfield as the backup to Tyrod Taylor. After Stanton leaves the room, Jackson praises Mayfield for the progress he's made and urges him to keep working as hard as he has. "You've earned it," Jackson said.


Mac is frustrated by Kevin's lack of a work ethic; Switek tells him he's being too hard on his son, which angers Mac to the point that he calls Switek a jerk. At OCB, they find Chi-Chi has a number of people, including competitors, who would have a reason to kill him; Castillo orders everyone to check it out, while Crockett and Tubbs cover for a missing Switek (his second missed day in the week). They feel it's due to his being passed over for promotion, and plan to talk to him. Meanwhile, Goodman's muscle is now after Switek for his debts with Chi-Chi, and want him to arrange for Kevin to throw the game that coming Saturday to make things right. 2ff7e9595c
