Watson against the Titans
-
Yeah, Baker played hurt- and cost the Browns a bunch of games by doing so. Seriously, you don't think every NFL QB from Brandon We-done to Spurgon Wynn doesn't "give it their all"? Get real.
There's no "dirty" in the NFL. It's a business. Are you the same sort of guy who cried when Bill Belichick sent Bernie packing for "diminished skills"? Bernie took the Browns to a couple AFC Championships, Baker managed to beat the Steelers in a playoff game thanks to about 10 Pittsburgh turnovers.
Kev did him no favor and kept playing him.. He shares in the blame too...

I think all that came down from Haslam, just like the Manziel thing over Hoyer. Something like "this kid has to earn an extension/money." ....just a hunch.
Go Browns

Yeah, I'm certain you've heard the conspiracy theories that the Browns already knew Baker was never going to be "the guy" with the skill set to win Cleveland a Super Bowl, and kept trotting him out there making his failure a self fulfilling prophesy. However, that doesn't explain a healthy Mayfield's subsequent lousy performances with the Panthers and Rams. Did they "do him dirty" too?
Well, we get to see if Baker's first two games with the Yuckaneers were for real, or just a mirage. (Tia seems to think that they are) He gets his chance tonight when they play a legit Super Bowl quality contender on national TV. I've got the game set up to record.
PS- Have to wonder if the Rams are second guessing themselves making the big trade for Matthew Stafford. Jared Goff seems to have found his missing game with the Lions. If Baker can find his 2020 form, good for him. But I don't obsess over it.

Not obsessing.. Just saying.. There's plenty of blame going around and every bit deserved on all fronts... Remember those same Yuckaneers have something the browns don't have... 2 SB rings

Watson looked real good.
The big reason was he played out of the gun a high percentage of the time. That is his comfort level.
This may not be popular around here, but Watson will probably play better without Chubb as the back. Chubb and Watson don't play compatible football. Chubb likes his QB under center and Watson likes the gun.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

I'd be curious to know if yesterday was more of the lightbulb going off for Watson or if Stefanski is doing a better job of matching what Watson does well with the plays/schemes continuing to evolve. Probably both.

Chubb is not a run from the gun kinda back. He does better then the Qb is under center.

For me, Watson had a different look on his face throughout the game yesterday. To crudely sum it up, to me he looked like he cared, whereas before he looked disinterested.
What prompted his change, both on the field and my perceived opinion on his demeanor is beyond my pay grade, but the dude looked like what we all hoped he would be and I'm hoping that confidence breeds confidence and he just gets better and better.
We'll know a whole lot more Sunday evening...

On a different note...I was glad to see the rookie get in there under center for a few snaps. It makes Dorian feel part of the team and kind of takes some of the newness away from being in an NFL game. Even though all he did was hand off.

I know. I have said that. Watson will be a better QB without Chubb than if Chubb is in the game. I love Nick Chubb the player. He is everything you want. I have heard 100 cases in the Cedartown courthouse annex.it was part of my territory for 10 years .It's part of my life..but, it is what it is, Nick and Watson don't play compatible football.

Maybe both. I think some is due to Stefanski not trying to match Cubb';s game to Watson';s game, or the opposite. Watson doesn't like to work under center and Chubb likes the QB under center.
No right or wrong with either, but is is what it is.

Interesting observations above ballpeen. I will have to pay attention to how they mesh the next 3-4 games.

we should find out a lot about this team
Ravens. Bye. 49'ers. at Colts
Browns Ravens Colts.. you'll find all 3 teams in the top 6-7 in OL grades. Ronnie Stanley (knee) nor Linderbaum (ankle) played in the Colts loss. (can we be so lucky?)
Browns have been ok in pass-pro.. It's the Run blocking grades that need to improve as quick as this week
Defensive slobber knockers on deck

Going to the Browns/49ers game, found out Saturday. My honest initial thought: "Oh man, could be an ugly game to go to..."
Today? "Bring 'em on..."

I guess the longterm silver lining is if this is true, and Chubb and Watson aren't compatible (pretty sure Chubb played in a Pro-Style Traditional offense at Georgia) that finding a RB in the draft that is used to playing in a shotgun, read/option offense won't be hard.

That's Awesome !
I've been checking on the closest roadie left on the schedule in my area is at Baltimore Week 10..mid Nov.
Travel & room stays aren't the bad cost wise.. but secure ticket prices in Baltimore are insane looking at Week 10.. I'm holding at this time, but not folding on trip
PM me or post your seat prices if you don't mind? Thanks & have a great time getting us a win !

Watson still needs to find ways of getting Njoku the ball. This year Njoku is running more routes yet has considerably fewer targets.

Georgia was a pro style offense.
Let me be clear. It's not so much that Nick can't play that way. It just seems he preferred not. I think the biggest discomfort level is Watson playing under center. I think he likes to start processing the reads as soon as he touches the ball and not lose the time it takes for him to turn and get in to his set.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
I will add that Stefanski might be out of his comfort zone to some degree as well. I think he likes the QB under center a good deal of the time. Obviously you have to do that some. You can't just go under center if you want to sneak the ball or run the ball. There has to be some degree of variable to what you want to do offensively.
