The Browns Board

  •  Last time the Brownies were over there, our dearly departed @tour2ma mailed me a pendant from the game. 

     We'll be thinking of him this weekend as, Just like 2017, we start a rookie QB and a banged up Oline.

    And Bruce loved OL play. He would be decrying the botched job this FO has done since the end of last season with refurbishing the OL. Or should I say the non-refurbishing of the OL.

    Yes he did.  And this matchup would have plenty to critique.  The Vikings have given up 18 sacks in 4 games.  Take a look at this 'excerpt' from an injury report:

    Vikings Injury Report

    • OL Christian Darrisaw - Rest - DNP
    • OL Donovan Jackson - Wrist - DNP
    • OL Michael Jurges - Hamstring - DNP
    • OL Ryan Kelly - Concussion - DNP
    • OL Brian O’Neill - Knee - DNP

    Here's their depth chart for OL: (from ESPN)

    LT Christian Darrisaw    Justin Skule    -    -
    LG Donovan Jackson O    Joe Huber    -    -
    C  Ryan Kelly Q    Michael Jurgens Q    Blake Brandel    Zeke Correll IR
    RG Will Fries    Blake Brandel    -    -
    RT Brian O'Neill O    Walter Rouse    Matt Nelson IR

    ESPN lists the LG & RT as Out.   And the LT is resting up for a busy day against Myles.  

    This is a game that we have to win because our DL has an opportunity to dominate an OL that's beat to $#!+.   We don't want to put any extra pressure on a rookie QB starting his first NFL game, but sorry Dillon, we gotta win this game.  🙂

    Getting in a kickass frame of mind, how about that research above? All we need is the help of hope to instill the will.

    Yes, yes he would be taking great issue with the state of OL play. 

    I still use his own developed systems to get a better handle on Oline grades.

  • It’s a nationally televised game this week. You might even say it’s internationally televised. You gotta have the NFL Network though.

    It’s a work day for me so l won’t get to watch. But it’s also my birthday, one of the ones that ends in a zero so that’s personally exciting. Except it’s also a work day.

    I sure miss our telephone conversations. And I have to hope that some of those which concerned mortality once he knew where it was all headed were of some help to him. ??
