Nick Chubb's Recent Workout Video After the Draft
-
Ian Rappaport reporting that Nick Chubb is expected to sign with the Texans on Monday.
I'm sure he'll have a fire in his belly and rattle off 2-3 more solid seasons.

I’ll be rooting for Nick, but I also understand why the Browns moved on from him. He was a shadow of himself last season, has had multiple major surgeries and turns 30 during the season.

This is how the decision makers viewed him. And they weren't overly thrilled with Ford. Couple that with them knowing that going into the draft they were planning on drafting their QB of the future. They just didn't know whether that would be as starter or backup. This new QB was going to need to rely on a running game for help while he grows into the NFL speed. It was a good RB draft to get those fresh legs.
Once the draft was over, there was no longer room for Nick Chubb. But don't doubt for one minute that the 'decision makers' hated having to end Chubb's tenure here. He's impossible not to like as a person as well as a model team mate for your team. - As Yogi Berra said, When you come to a fork in the road, Take it. They made the decision and can't look back.
Now, Chubb seemed a shadow of himself. But all of our RB's were shadows. Our OL had it's worst 'level of play' season in some time. Was that a contributing factor? Chubb couldn't play and was basically still healing well into the season. Is he more healed now? Is it a combination of the two. Will he be pretty darned good this year? I think we all hope so.

I also think the change in offensive philosophy last season might have had something to do with the running game struggles, along with a HUGE downgrade in OLine coach.
I would have liked to see Chubb back here as one of the three guys in the RB room, but remember folks, the Browns already gave him a chance last season by re-signing him coming off the surgery. I can see where they weren't going to do it again.
Good luck in Houston, Nick. You'll be missed.

I see what you're saying. FWIW though, there's always been varying levels of knee injuries depending on how extensive the damage is and how much connective tissue is involved. When you start hearing more than just MCL or ACL (or whatever the case may be) the comeback trail gets a little more complicated and longer. There's always been certain levels of knee injuries where guys responded/performed way better in their 2nd year post-op. There still is. This is just my opinion nobody needs to agree with; but I feel like the Browns' medical staff has been an epic disappointment since their return in 99.
Just look at the volume of injuries alone in recent years or just dating back to 99. I remember Braylon Edwards tried race someone at Berea in bare feet and ended up with glass in his foot. Not the brightest apple in the orchard. Makes me wonder though - are they looking at the playing surface these guys practice on? What kind of strength and conditioning program are they using? Are they using ballistic Olympic Lifts where even the best in the world get injured performing some of those movements they practice all the time? If you need to dress up your elbows and knees like mummies to perform certain ballistics - do you know what can't hurt you? Asking yourself why that's necessary for the sport you play. My hope is they're all on the same page with the safest methods of performance enhancement for this franchise; but various trends have me thinking many outcomes aren't just coincidental. Hope I'm wrong about this. All this stuff starts at the top of the organization with Jimmy in charge of the hiring as well as the philosophy of it all.
Why all that? Well, if anyone thinks the Browns really did their due diligence with Nick Chubb giving him just the 1st year back after that extensive knee injury - swamps are for sale in Alligator Alley... The RB position was and will always be what endeared me to this franchise. I'm not gonna take my frustration of it all out on the newcomers to the RB position; but it won't stop me from wanting to see Nick Chubb play well in Houston. Jimmy has been friendlier than Santa Claus to that team.
