  • Hopkins & Garrett might also be our Co-MVPs.   

    When I hit the show more - Garrett was the only other guy that made the list above.  Just 2 weeks ago this was a 7-3 team...

  • Did you notice who the NFC punter is?

  • Too bad they won’t be able to participate due to the game they’ll have after.

  • Did you notice who the NFC punter is?

    Believe it or not, our punter Corey Bojorquez is having a pretty good year.

    After 12 games, he's tied for 4th in the NFL with Gilkin averaging 50.1 yards per punt.  That said, he's had 60 punts to Gilkin's 40 punts.  He's got 19 inside the 20 yard line to Gilkins' 7.

    Heaven help us - I just posted about punters.

    Could be worse, you could be posting inane threads about who pays a contract when a player gets hurt when the Browns are in the middle of a playoff run.

    Can't say but I bet he has a better olay move than Wills has even if Corey's is on purpose.

    Wills' replacement has been a steady surprise lately...Would love to see him keep the position...

    I’d be kinda curious to see a tape analysis on it. I don’t wanna comment that Christianson has been equal or better than Wills since I actually don’t know, but the high level the o-line has been playing well lately 

    Wills was eligible to return from IR this week but the browns didn’t designate him for return, probably next week.

    The light has to go on for Wills like now...

  • With the 55 yard field goal in the 4th quarter, Hopkins has the most field goals made in a Browns season in team history.

  • But yes he's solid gold  alright !

    ●-->    With 3:15 to go in the game, K Dustin Hopkins — in his first season with the Browns — made history. Hopkins accomplished something that no other player from the Browns had ever done.

    Hopkins set a new Browns record with 31 made field goals in a single season. The previous record of 30 field goals was set in 2008 by K Phil Dawson.

    The kick came after Hopkins didn't have a field goal attempt through three quarters, which was the first time this season the Browns didn't attempt a field goal through three quarters. Cleveland Browns Stadium got quiet as he attempted the 55-yard field goal. Hopkins received the snap and kicked the ball right down the right side of the goal. The crowd exploded and cheered for Hopkins, who extended the Browns' lead to 31-21 and became the record holder.

    ●-->  what a deal !   The Browns traded a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Chargers to acquire Hopkins on Aug. 28. Hopkins eventually replaced second-year K Cade York, who struggled during the preseason and was eventually waived by the Browns.

    When Hopkins joined the Browns, there was belief from the coaching staff about his level of talent and what he would bring to their kicking game. Hopkins has done just that – plus more – through 13 games this season.

    ●-->   This has been a career year for Hopkins, who made his career personal best with a 58-yard field goal in Week 7 against the Colts. In that same game,

    ■■--> Hopkins set a new NFL record for five consecutive games where he made a field goal of at least 50 yards.

    ■■-->  Hopkins is also 8 of 8 in 50-plus yard field goals this season.   Outstanding !

  • That difficult 55 yarder from the right hash was the game winning points.  Not interested that we technically won by 4.  It took the FG out of the Jags game plan at that point.  Hopkins has been VERY important to this team's success to this point!
