    Browns RT Dawand Jones: ‘I’m good to go’ vs. Steelers

  • @dutch-oven said:

    Ran into a guy who is a Steelers season ticket holder today and he mentioned that the Steelers have two linebackers and both safeties out for this game too. 

    Callahan/ Stef & Van Pelt, need a better plan of moving DTR than they did vs the Rats.

    DT Montravius Adams whom replaced Cam Hayward is now out. We won't be lucky to miss Cam Hayward (groin) playing in this game. Wisconsin Rookie K. Benton played more snaps than Adams did in week 3       

    He's Correct..

    No. 31 S Keanu Neal (Rib) - Out
    No. 39 S Minkah Fitzpatrick (Hamstring) - Out
    No. 57 DT Montravius Adams (Ankle) - Out
    No. 88 TE Pat Freiermuth * (Hamstring) - Questionable

    Free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick missed practice all week and has been ruled out, missing his third straight game with a hamstring injury. 

    That isn't the only injury the team is dealing with at safety, though. 

    Strong safety Keanu Neal, who has started eight games this season, has also been ruled out after missing practice all week with a rib injury. 

    In addition, nose tackle Montravius Adams will also miss Sunday's game, ruled out with an ankle injury and not playing for the second straight week.

    With Adams out, look for rookie Keeanu Benton to step up again. 

    At the safety spot, Trenton Thompson was elevated last week from the practice squad for the game against the Packers. 

    The team will also be dealing with injuries at inside linebacker that have been mounting over the last few weeks, with both Kwon Alexander and Cole Holcomb on the Reserve/Injured List. 

    With just Elandon Roberts and Mark Robinson on the 53-man roster at the linebacker spot, there is the potential that veteran linebacker Mykal Walker could be called upon from the practice squad.

    The Browns list Thornhill & Goodwin as Out.. Jones & M.Dunn as questionable

  • I would rather see Watson, who is 0-3 against PIT.

    Steelers are a bad team.  They pull wins out of their ass and get help from the officials.

    I expect CLE to win this one.

    I knew I could count on KD to bring us some good news!

    Having said that, the last time the Browns played Pittsburgh it looked like he had so much to learn in pass pro.  On the other hand, Bill Callahan is our OL Coach and Jones was talented enough to be an All American (which means he was moldable clay for an elite OL Coach).

  • Starting ILBs out.  

    Starting DBs out. 

    Adams out. 

    Mini Iron Head with a groin strain. 

     I haven't seen an invite to go up the middle like that since I had the entire varsity cheerleadering squad over at our Halloween party.

  • I honestly don’t think this game should even be close, the browns are better than the Steelers across the board - and Pickett is pretty close to DTR, not like it’s fat Ben out there.

    But it’s a divisional game against the Steelers so, all bets are off.

  • Stefanski has had to play quarterback by committee, RB by committee, and OT by committee pretty much all year and we are sitting at 6-3. We play the Steelers tomorrow who has a QB that isn't much better than anything we fielded this season and we have the best defense in the NFL. We have the chance to be 7-3 so I say, let's fck'n GO!

    Well, Mr. Mellon, I expect the Browns to win also. But whenever I get a strong feeling about a Browns game one way or the other, I'm usually dead wrong.  

    Now regarding your Steelers, I agree they're doing it with smoke and mirrors- and turnovers at exactly the right time. Watson throwing a pick six on the first play is a good example, as well as last week Love tossing an ill advised pass into the end zone for an interception when they were driving for the winning score.  

    As to our Browns, I commend Stefanski for starting DTR over PJ Walker- who is one inaccurate, 1 td to 5 interceptions gawdawful qb. Tries hard, but what would you expect from an XFL practice squad quarterback? Dorian had a horrendous game against the Ravens, but he had 2 hours to get ready for that game after running the scout team all week.  He was impressive enough in preseason to convince Andrew Berry that Josh Dobbs was expendable. The good news on our side is Dawand Jones says he's healthy enough to play RT, he's on an upswing getting tutelage from the best OL coach in the business Callahan. We certainly won't miss not seeing Minkah Fitzpatrick out there either.  🙂  

    So, from my POV the outcome is pretty clear... The team that wins the turnover battle will come out on top. 

    PS- even should the Steelers lose, they're far from out of it making the playoffs. You still have two games on tap against the Bengals, minus Joe Burrow. For any of us MHO the division is out of reach, short of Lamar Jackson breaking his leg.
