Cleveland Browns (Finally drafting Buckeyes)

[AKAK]

Missing 40% of your Oline certainly doesn't help either. But the stubborn demand to focus on the IZ calls while the outside runs showed promise was baffling to me. Especially when trying to setup some of those waggles that Baker had little time to throw for. If that backside end doesn't pursue, then you won't get him comfortable on the move.

Receiving corps non-existent, Oline taking a huge hit - minor miracle the offense put up 16.

Right.

This is a disappointing result. At a critical moment ..

That otherwise says little about anything other than today.

Saving grace is that the Steelers should likely rest guys next week having wrapped up the division. Browns can still win and get in.

I would not take that to the bank. It is still Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

Pittsburgh is stupid if they rest people. I remember some years back the Bears did that, let the Packers into the playoffs, and ended up losing the NFC title game to them.

Their bye was in week four and they’ve looked gassed for the last few weeks. They’d be stupid *not* to rest people. Vegas agrees at this point as the line opened with the Browns as 7.5 point favorites.

Mayfield's accuracy was horrible
The TEs were horrible... Bryant, you did not earn your paycheck..
Harris was horrible
Bitonio earns his keep.. FB too
How come we don't use safeties? cuz no one is back there where they're supposed to be
I miss Minnie and Dixon

There’s the biggest domino. Let’s see who else they rest.

Need Myles to bash that big headed doofus again (legally).

Lets mic up Myles this time just in case.

In a way that is too bad because I would have liked to beat them at full strength. It would have been interesting if nothing else.

- Wasn't great accuracy, but chalk a lot of that up to fresh faced receivers too.
- Rookie
- Late round rookie out of position
- Neat. They're pro-bowlers.
- I don't know what this means? Aside from that fact our safety play is trash. Sendejo can't cover a deep 1/3 let alone play split field. Harrison showed SOME promise. Karl Joseph is a liability back on a hash.
In all honesty, we really don't have any pure "cover" safety.

I'll take beating them if they let every starter stay out cuz we may very easily have to play them at full strength down the road

And the hits just keep on playing

Another Browns player and staffer tested positive for COVID-19 today and the facility is closed while contact tracing is underway.

That makes a total of 10 players on the COVID-19 reserve list, but as many as seven can be back in time for Sunday’s ‘win-and-in’ game against the Steelers.

Hell yes!

 

[Bucklion]

So...Florida versus Florida?

So...Florida versus Florida?

Its the game we deserve at this point.

I figured they'd rest Cam, but wasn't sure if they could even afford to (fully) sit Watt. I mean I get that the moving around of guys from the practice squad and all that stuff facilitates that this year a little more, but they're gonna be deep on the LB depth chart.
