    This just in, Kessler & McCown say they just tripped over RG3 and none of 'em will be able to play Sunday.

    It's Thomas & Greco against the world.

    And how is it that Ghoolster predicted before the first preseason game that the Cleveland Browns would suffer MORE injuries than any other NFL team? And here you are acting like " WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?"

    Ghoolie Did.

    Hue needs to go..... NOW.

    Over 200 players on IR throughout the league & no SD has the honor of most on IR at 18 for a team. HueJax-"How can you play football on Sunday if you don't practice like it everyday" It's about Damn Time..Your other team has a Big Raper bitching to his coaches also about real live practicing causing to many injuries to his own team of pu**ies..

  • Browns average almost three times as many yards running behind Bitonio. He's our best run blocker, and I think it's safe to say we're pretty screwed. The NFL is a copycat league, so you can bet your ass that teams will try to do exactly what Pats did to us. The blueprint is there, and now we don't have our best run blocker. Hopefully we can adjust, but I'm just completely flattened as a fan right now. I feel like there's no point. I obviously wasn't expecting to be GOOD right now, but we've been decimated by injuries to very key personnel. Injuries happen to every team, EVERY year, but Jesus H...

    Titans looked good last week. We did not. It's at Tennessee. We're down key players, and we're struggling with playmakers. We need a win so badly...

  • The only bright side of this is.. we can see what we actually have in the rookie OL's..

    And Cameron "Master Of The Look-Out Block" Erving is back - would he be a better fit as G or RT?

    FYI: A look-out block is when the OL whiffs his assignment and yells back to his QB "Look out!"

  • So? Where is Sean Coleman in all of this? He was what....a second or third round pick? Taken before Drango. Is he just too raw at this point?

    Don't know what to tell you Gip. I checked the inactives for the Patriots game, and Shon (not Sean- got you back 🙂 ) wasn't listed. So he could have played. There's zero information out there regarding him.

    Yup- Drango has at least seen some action. You'd think with all the injuries Coleman would have gotten in for at least a couple plays- especially at the end of the Pats game, where the 4th quarter was essentially a scrimmage.

  • What's the over/under for Kessler getting carted off the field? With Bitonio out, and Cam in...I'm assuming that he'll back to the x-ray machine before halftime.

    All kidding aside, I'm hoping our OL can get back to their running ways, and do it in a hurry.

    I give him 1 quarter.

    My guess... and it's only a guess... is his run blocking is holding him back. Likely a strength issue in part related to his injury/surgery setting him behind.

    It still has not been a year since the injury last November and, for whatever reason, he was not operated upon until January.

  • So, Joel Bitonio is on injured reserve. Bugger.

    In a corresponding move, we've signed a 6-1, 240lb rookie full back.

    👍

  • Damn.... makes me wonder if the next news on Bito will include the word "surgery".

    And if the next news on Malcolm Jonson will include the word "released".

    At least this made me laugh...

    Center Cameron Erving is expected back in the lineup this week, which will allow the Browns to move John Greco back to right guard.

    Problem solved!

  • Contenders for taking over, Jonathan Cooper (former first round pick claimed from waivers this week); or Alvin Bailey, who's played a right guard recently with Greco at center.

    Others? Austin Pasztor did quite well there last year IIRC, but I doubt they move him over and disrupt another position. Drango? If they want to keep Bailey as specifically a RG/RT backup, perhaps, but I don't see that.

  • In related new, McCown is out for the weekend, and Haden is iffy.

    #Browns to place LG Joel Bitonio on injured reserve, may be season ending

    #Browns Bitonio's mid-foot sprain is probably season-ending but with the new IR rules that's not 100% certain

  • What is the injury requirement now, 8 weeks?

    Placing him on Temporary IR will allow us to bring in the much needed manpower to send at this injury plague.

    This is exactly why the NFL need to increase roster size. Sometimes you need it. There should be lower salaries for the top players and more players in general. More games, bigger rosters, more players(God knows there is talent out there just wishing for an opportunity).

    I Wish Football played as many games as basketball or baseball. Increase the roster size.
