By Thomas Moore
Spanning the virtual globe to bring you the best of Cleveland sports – from the Browns to the Indians and Cavs – these are your Daily Dawg Tags for Thursday, Sept. 3.
Cleveland Browns:
The Cleveland Browns and RG3 – What year is it again?:
"If it was still 2012 it would make sense for the Browns to take a look at Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III. Now? Not so much."
What do the NFL injury designations mean for the Browns?:
"There are several ways teams can hold onto players outside of the 53-man roster. What are those and how do they impact the Browns?"
Browns vs. Bears: Game time, channel info:
"It is the final preseason friendly of the season."
Jamie Meder knows adversity and it’s not trying to make the team (NEOMG):
"Life spent on the fringes of an NFL roster is an unnerving place this time of year. But defensive lineman Jamie Meder understands there are no guarantees."
NFL News:
Grades for every first-round draft pick (Pro Football Focus):
"Rookies are often the talk of preseason, as teams and fans get the chance to see their first-year players take an NFL field for the first time. PFF takes a look at how each of this year’s 32 first-round picks have fared so far."
Keenan Lewis out 4-6 weeks after hip surgery (Who Dat Dish):
"The New Orleans Saints secondary took another blow Wednesday. In the midst of the Jairus Byrd situation (still sidelined), Brandon Browner‘s status still up in the air, and the recent placement of rookie corner P.J. Williams on season-ending injured reserve, it is now being reported that star corner Keenan Lewis will miss 4-6 weeks after undergoing hip surgery. (Editor’s note: Can we interest you in a slightly used Justin Gilbert?)"
Could Colts pursue Phil Taylor? (Horseshoe Heroes):
"With Arthur Jones season now in serious jeopardy, the Indianapolis Colts could elect to sign a veteran free agent to ultimately help replace him. One potential candidate is recently released Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Phil Taylor, who was one of the league’s surprise roster cuts earlier this week. (Editor’s note: As long as you don’t need him for more than four or five games.)"
Cleveland sports news:
Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love among NBA’s 25 best players (Factory of Sadness):

Grading Mark Shapiro’s tenure in Cleveland (Wahoo’s on First):
"Cleveland Indians President Mark Shapiro’s tenure in Cleveland is coming to an end, after the executive accepted a position with the Toronto Blue Jays that will begin at the end of this season. In his 24 years in Cleveland, he worked in player development, became the General Manager, and finally became President. There have been plenty of ups and downs, but what legacy does he leave with?"
