VIDEO: TE Delanie Walker Trolls Browns After Blowout Titans Win
By Michael Luciano
Tennessee Titans tight end and 14-year veteran Delanie Walker has seen just about everything during his time in the NFL, and he knows a con when he sees one. The Cleveland Browns were sent crashing back to earth after an offseason of massive hype when they were bludgeoned 43-13 by the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 1. Walker spent most of his postgame interview trashing Baker Mayfield and the Browns, channeling Dennis Green as he said, "They are who we thought they were."

“They are who we thought they were.”
“We didn’t even circle this game.”

On paper, the Browns look like as dynamic an offense as there is in the league, but the secondary needs some work, as Marcus Mariota and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith carved through Steve Wilks' unit like a hot knife through butter.
Imagine having high expectations for the browns ..... Again .....

Walker knows that in the NFL, the league in which hype can be quickly squelched more suddenly than any other league, you have to earn it. Now that the balloon of hype has been popped, Mayfield needs to regroup for Week 2 against the Jets.
