    What’s Houston’s injuries these days? They’re down quite a few pieces aren’t they

    No need to research that Jags trip. (? ya jink)

    so here's the Texans roster starter changes from when the Browns played them, to what they traveled to Colts with

    1) Biggest is Stroud is back, to replace Keenum at QB play (Browns had 3 sacks/6 QB hits/2 ints. Texans OL is beatable outside of LT Tunsil. RT Heck gave up all 3 sacks/ 2 to Smith vs Browns)

    2) WR Tank Dell went to IR (big loss), so the browns saw WR Noah Brown to replace him w/7 targets. WR Noah Brown missed the Colts game with a Back issue. TE Schultz 11 targets/ Nico Collins 6 targets VS BROWNS.

    3.) The Texans leader in sacks w/12.5 is DE J. Greenard. Greenard was OUT w/ankle at Colts.. Enter Jerry Hughes & rookie Will Anderson sharing Greenard snaps. Browns played J. Greenard but Will Anderson was inactive w/ankle

    4) Stroud, Will Anderson, LB B. Cashman, DT T. Tart (from Tenn. browns claimed but Texans had higher waiver claim) will play Browns this time.. Watch injury updates on DE Greenard & WR Noah Brown

    5) Combine Texans FB A. Beck with a lot of TE's they liked to play at Colts w/Stroud (off back foot/off balance didn't care to Nico Collins) .. Look for Texans coach to make back-end adjustments of Corners & Safety's to not get COOP toasted again..(or..Flacco rarely saw any pocket pressures).  Des King (pending crown hit)/ Pitre / J.Ward & D. Stingley gets Joe Flacco again !  

    6 Pack)  Browns need to Stay away from their 11 penalty calls in Houston this week compared to last match up !

    So the return flights from London and Stubhub ticket prices are achievable......

    Anyone know which areas to stay in and avoid staying in Houston?

    I've been to a couple Browns games at NRG Stadium- there's a bunch of hotels within walking distance, and the area there by my recollection is pretty safe.  

    Yeah, upper level seats will get you into the game for around $165 dollars (that's including the Ticketmaster 10% extortion fee.)

    If PJ Walker is listed on the depth chart, why wasn't he the one to start the Bengals game? Driskel just got here and you could tell he didn't have the prep. I know the game was meaningless but it still would have been nice to come out with a win to keep momentum going into the wild card.

  • The Browns run a one-back offense, but occasionally in short yardage situations they will indeed bring in Nick Harris to be the fullback.

    I think they wanted to see if they could find a better backup than Walker - probably liked some of Driskel’s tape, if Flacco goes down then Walker is a death sentence to our postseason.

    I get that but I'm a old school kind of guy and would have liked to see them get something going so it would get the rest of the team going.

    They just couldn't get ANYTHING going on offense with Driskel, almost looked as bad as DTR's first start against the Ravens.

    Let's not forget that this second unit almost blew a game against a team we will be playing on Saturday in the wild card. I really wanted to see the second unit start to click. I could not make it past the first quarter, I shut it off.  It's kinda concerning when you consider our injury situation.

    Who knows if they got what they expected with Driskel's. "welcome to the National Football League" ?   

    I don't think anyone  coaches, players or for sure fans were expecting  0-31  ..... I know i wasn't for sure.  At least  CLE 14  CIN  31  looks better l

    I wonder how they graded the game tape ???     B- ?   C- ?  Incomplete ?    😆

    Kinda surprised it didn’t get the primetime slot over the bucs…rookie of the year vs Flacco browns - seems like a better prime time than inept bucs and collapsing eagles.

    im good with being first though, if we lose I won’t waste time following any of the other games.

    NFL needed an NFC East team in a primetime slot. That's all it is, like Peacock, a $$ grab.

    My son lives on the NW side of town there ( Oak Forest neighborhood). Lots of decent eateries & brew pubs.

    Which means, we need to come out in attack mode and not leave it up to a last second kick to send us to the next round or send us home.

  • In other news, Driskel is the new backup QB, over Walker

     Walker - nice guy who tries hard, but it's hard to see him ever getting a snap in the NFL again.

  • On the injury front... The good news is- Browns are activating Grant Delpit off of IR...  And in WTF news- Juan Thornhill still didn't practice yesterday...  He's been nursing that calf injury since week 10.  ?

    Thornhill returned to practice today, I'd expect him to go. I'm sure they'll still rotate in Hickman & Bell in some of their 3-safety looks, both of those guys have been excellent fill-ins.
