BEREA Briean Boddy-Calhoun Jersey , Ohio (AP) — Even days later, Josh Gordon’s emotions remain jumbled following his first season-opening game since he was a rookie in 2012.The Browns stopped their 17-game losing streak by tying the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Gordon still isn’t sure how he feels about it.“Conflicted,” he said.So was Gordon’s game. And confusing.He wasn’t supposed to start as punishment for missing training camp, but Gordon was on the field for the first offensive play because of a “miscommunication,” according to coach Hue Jackson.The most dynamic player on Cleveland’s roster, the former Pro Bowler figured to be a major element in the game plan, yet was only targeted three times by quarterback Tyrod Taylor.Gordon did make a leaping touchdown catch in the fourth quarter to tie it 21-all in the fourth quarter, but Taylor missed a chance to connect with the receiver late in regulation — a blown opportunity on a wet field that could have given the Browns their first victory since 2016.It was all so strange, especially the Browns not winning despite forcing six turnovers.Gordon, who has made personal decisions he regrets, can only think about what might have been.“Definitely wish some things could just be altered in the course of the game,” Gordon said Wednesday as the Browns ramped up preparation for Sunday’s game in New Orleans. “But definitely can’t look back anymore.”Gordon’s opener began unexpectedly and stayed that way.Last week, Jackson was adamant that Gordon would not be in the starting lineup against Pittsburgh after he missed more than three weeks of camp to address his personal health during his public battle with drugs and alcohol. Jackson said he was putting his foot down, and Gordon would not get any preferential treatment.But after the Browns forced a Pittsburgh punt and began a drive at their 36, Gordon was lined up to the far left before Taylor dropped back to pass before scrambling for a 6-yard gain.Gordon’s appearance on the field led to confusion about whether Jackson had changed his mind or if coordinator Todd Haley was sending a message to his boss.Following the game, Jackson said he wasn’t aware that Gordon was in until it was too late, adding another layer of puzzlement to the situation.On Monday Joe Schobert Color Rush Jersey , Jackson said starting Gordon was “a mistake” but refused to assign blame and insisted the team had “worked through it. It’s done with. We move on.”Gordon said he did what he was told and was shocked to start.“Yeah,” he said. “I was definitely surprised.”Just as baffling was that Gordon did not play the rest of the first series or the entire second series — perhaps a delayed penalty.And although Jackson talked about keeping Gordon on a “pitch count” because he hadn’t played in any of the four preseason games and was just coming off a hamstring issue, he ended up playing 69 snaps, second only to Jarvis Landry (81) among Cleveland’s receivers.Gordon said the coaching staff decided at halftime to play him more than was originally planned. The Browns tried to exploit the Steelers’ secondary by using Gordon’s speed to stretch the field and create one-on-one matchups.The 27-year-old, who had only played in 10 games since 2014 because of substance-abuse suspensions, said the extra workload was needed.“Physically I felt great,” he said. “It was good to get that experience and that feeling underneath me, especially an overtime game, the weather and everything. The amount of snaps and reps, it’s good for my body to feel that. I feel great now, I felt great during the game. It was just good to see that my motor was at a decent point at that late in the game.”Cleveland’s entire offense misfired in the opener, but Gordon believes the unit can take a large leap forward in Week 2.“We have to,” he said. “I think in the NFL, that’s the biggest jump for most teams — after that first week. And for us, we’ve got to take off in a big way.”NOTES: Saints star quarterback Drew Brees said Browns rookie QB Baker Mayfield “can be a lot better than me. He’s got all the tools. He’s more athletic, he probably can run around better, he’s got a stronger arm.” … Mayfield shaved off a beard he had been growing since training camp. … Starting DE Emmanuel Ogbah (ankle) missed practice and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Saints. LB Christian Kirksey was limited by shoulder and ankle issues but should be OK https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Ricardo-Louis-Jersey , Jackson said. ROUND TWO potential draftee has an extremely high ceiling" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTThe defense should consume much of this year’s draft, and GM John Dorsey needs to make sure each pick is one that will help this team contend for the AFC North Division title. Since the Browns do not possess a first-round pick this year, their selection in the second stanza is critical.Expect one of the draft picks in all likelihood at some point to be spent on a DT for added depth and to work towards a starting position. The Browns have already traded DE Emmanuel Ogbah and realize that a good defense will use multiple defensive linemen continually throughout the game to keep fresh legs on the field. Gerald Willis could very well be that player and should be available in Round 2 with pick number 49.A former five-star recruit, he originally signed with Florida, but had issues with several coaches and teammates. As a freshman, he was involved in a fight over a pair of cleats with Gators’ QB Skyler Mornhinweg to which the signalcaller required stitches. He was also suspended twice for undisclosed reasons. In another incident in the game against rival Florida State, QB Jameis Winston of the Seminoles had scrambled and gained minimal yardage and then darted out-of-bounds into the Florida bench. As Winston decelerated he approached two Florida players standing on the sideline, one being Willis. Next, Willis hauls off and shoves and then punches Winston with both forearms right in the facemask. Willis was ejected and his team was assessed a 15-yard personal foul.Florida in due course released him fundamentally, and then he transferred to the University of Miami. Willis’ playing growth was stalled in 2017 when he took the entire season off at Miami with allegations of character issues. But once he returned, he was a completely different player and possessed new leadership skills plus a good work ethic previously missed. Everyone associated with him - especially his Miami coaches - all rant about the change in his attitude and life in general. The result was a very productive 2018 season peppered with a relentless behavior.
