Kareem Hunt / He will play Sunday !
-
Excellent! If he fills in as #1 RB he may actually work better than when he was #2 to Nick. More carries with more opportunities like he had in KC. But we know he works well inside the opponents 10, so even as #2 that works. He sniffs out goal lines if we just play him that way and not get too f'n cute.
I think the team is going to ride Ford as the #1 unless he shows he isn't. Either way, I could see a fairly even split in carries.

...at least initially. There's a game in just a few days. I don't expect to see much of Hunt on the field this weekend.
That's my thinking too. Yes, he knows a ton of the players obviously and the offense, but still don't see him getting a lot of carries this Sunday; Ford and Strong will get the bulk.

Hunt run's so angry hope he is on the field soon

No doubt, he is a bruiser at running back and that is something we will need at points this season to wear teams down.

Which is why myself and everyone here were depressed about Nick. D.W will get it together (book it)

The most no brainer move of all time. He had a down year but I don’t think he’s as “washed” as some people think.
The chubb injury will never stop hurting though, easily tied for my favorite browns player since 99’. Hope the dude has successful surgery and rehab and can continue his career.

Don't know how you just lose a step. It's not like Kareem Hunt has a ton of milage on that body of his. Maybe he's just not keeping himself in shape. Maybe the reason he remained unsigned for so long. I wish him the best! Welcome back.

Hunt is only 27, and still has a lot of tread on the tires. Guys usually don't start "losing a step" until they're well into their 30s. He primarily was unsigned because the RB market tanked, and had (justifiably) a high asking price.

Let me do a nickers for you 'peen. Ford is mediocre. Sucks. Cheap backup to Chubb that was only going to see limited time. Has all the power of an e-bike. Take away his big run, he averaged 2.5 yards a carry against the Steelers.

Good on team Hunt & Kareem to get this deal done. Welcome back angry run 27 ! ?
sure, Hunt may have been slowed with a thigh, than ankle injury late in his contract year w/Browns.. but this looks like a fair deal to return home as a Brown healthy again. MKC reports he looked 10 lbs lighter staying in shape.
Good Luck Kareem Hunt & welcome back !

I am not comparing the two, rather simply to point out you can't take away runs. If you took away long runs from Barry Sanders, he would be a pretty average back.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
If I was Berry I wouldn’t be done yet. I would call Atlanta and get Cordelle Patterson. He can get wide and use him as a returner.

It can't hurt to try that idea. Even though there's 2 pretty good reasons named Robinson & Allgeier that he's now 3rd on Atlanta's depth chart - he's proven he can score from anywhere on the field as a Return Specialist, RB or WR.
If not, Jerome Ford rushed for 106 yards in his first opportunity with significant action. Even so, that was only in about 2.5 quarters of action. On that long run, he outran a lot of guys with good pursuit angles on him and the only way he was going to get caught - was a Safety that was already back deep diving/hoping that was a better option than what all others failed to do.
I can see Hunt and Ford giving us a Thunder and Lightning type of 1-2 punch. Ford is still playing on a rookie salary cap restricted contract as a 2nd year player on a team with a salary cap that has to be about ready to suffocate in the very near future.

We might have cap problems, but we clear space this go around.
We will probably jettison Amari after this season. We do have to hope at least one of Tillman or Moore balls out. Wo do have a few vets like Bitonio we probably aren't going to extend any.
But at any rate, the loss of 1st rounders may start to hurt over the next few seasons. Those are the guys that by year 3-4 have turned in to very good players. On the flip side, berry has done a pretty good job with the 2nd through 4th round to get at least pretty good players, but it will be a good thing to start getting 1st rounders again after this next draft.
The key is that Watson gets his mojo back and starts playing. If that doesn't happen, then we have problems because we are back to looking for a QB unless the rookie isn't just a mirage and actually turns in to a real deal player. That said, we won't even think about moving from Watson for another 2 years.

Not only that, if anyone looked at that run and wasn't impressed - it's because they didn't want to be. As that play began with Ford taking the handoff and heading to where the point of attack was supposed to be - he noticed the Right Side of the line was dominated again so he reversed his field and outran a lot of good pursuit angles the first 2 lines of defense had on him. The TD saving tackle was made by a Safety in the back tier of defense that could only dive out in desperation hoping to grab an ankle or trip him up. That was a pretty big play for Cleveland at a time when momentum was heavily favoring Pittsburgh.
I LIKE Hunt and I look forward to seeing the tandem he and Ford can be. In fairness, both guys were here to be a change of pace to the best RB in football so contributing a 106 rushing yards in only 2.5 quarters of football is pretty good job by a guy that had very few opportunities (an no preseason) prior to it.
Since we don't have any other choice - we can at least give the guy a chance.

I like Hunt as well, but he did lose a step last season. He is good, but isn't going to carry a team.
I agree with something you said. Browns fans are pretty good and not wanting to be impressed. lol
The reality is Chubb is done for this year for sure, and there is a good chance for good. He is like Joe Thomas, you aren't going to replace the guy. As fans, we have to move on and accept whatever the replacement can give because for many, no matter what the player brings it just isn't going to be good enough.

Detroit wasn't any good during his tenure. A breakaway run or two per game didn't help them much. The rest of the time they punted. I'd actually rather have the consistent yards that Chubb gave us over Sanders. But that's just me.

I don't disagree, but just like Sanders, Chubb isn't playing football this season. But no doubt that sanders had a lot of 1-2 yard carries. You just had to keep handing him the ball, waiting for that 60 yard run.

Never forget, the Kareem will rise to the top.
Haha brilliant. I actually have a poster of Macho Man saying this framed in my room lol.
