More Good News... Pinky's Back!

[Shep]

And I know the Browns like Gilkey. That's a lot of guard competition next year.

But knowing the Browns tried to trade for Eugene Monroe doesn't bode well for Schwartz. But (again), he and the line in general have looked very different when Weeden isn't playing QB.

As run blockers, they also look very different when McGahee isn't getting the rock. Obie always seems to have holes to run through, doesn't he?

Just read an article talking about the run - apparently PFF has Luavao as a -11.5 for run blocking on the season. Not good.

Dont get overly excited. He'll need atleast a month to get his football legs back...but ,good to hear none the less...

He's been practicing with the team the last two weeks.

Yeah, but I'm betting the line got bad grades for pass blocking when Weeden was getting sacked all the time, too, right?

Honestly, I like McGahee but he looks like he's running in lead boots. I'd rather see a lot more of the Muppets, Obie and Fozzy.

I agree,he looks very sluggish but. He still runs hard...I like him but, would like a younger McGahee

anything that can help the OL (even at depth) is great news in my book.

Good... I hope they do not rush Pinky back into the starting line up.

Lol, I couldn't help thinking of the porn star when I saw the title.

[Shep]

That's my point: With Greco, Lauvao, Pinkson, Gilkey, and Faulk... how do we not have depth and competition?

It's guard. In Green Bay and New England, my drunk brother-in-law starts.

I like it. The Muppets Obie and Fozzy. And really, McGahee is a muppet name too. That name could catch on....if those guys could actually do anything.

I would consider benching Luvey for Pinkston for two reasons: One, Luvey is a horrible run blocker and we may need that skill with the cold weather games coming up. Two, Luvey is a free agent and we should probably just let him go, so we might want to get Pinkston in there now if he is the leading candidate to start next year.

That said ... I don't think they make the change because the pass blocking and Camps has been largely in sync the past two weeks against good pass rushing teams.

We're on a bit of a roll right now on offense so I doubt we'll make a change in the next game. If we keep playing well, Pinkston keeps sitting. Next year, that's a lot of camp competition when Faulk's healthy.
