    My guess is they were “trying things”. Pre-season and all. 

    Exactamundo! We know we have two big backs that can score from the one. We need to know what we can do with redzone passing plays and that was prime opportunity in a meaningless game. Sure I was pissed while it was happening because I wanted to give the D more than a TD spread for the remainder of the game, but I understood it for what it was.

    If they were going to try something they should have tried throwing it to Njoku.

    That's true, it's not exactly a regular season division game -but- I'm sure we fans wanted to see at least ONE stinkin' TD in 60 minutes, ONE? Where's Harry Doyle? 😆

    But for the degenerate gamblers the BROWNS were favored by -4 and won by 5!

    Why would anyone ever bet on a preseason game?  Just to make money for the casinos?

    Either a. he wasn't hurt bad at all or b.test him out. 

    So how much does he play in G4? Stay tuned.

  • @syd said:

    so your sure about that ? then tell me about ward since you are a seer of such things

    hey what position ? all he had to do was throw the damn ball away

    stifle yourself, seriously. Literally everyone from Tyrod himself to the announcers and training staff felt or were acting like it was broken. You must super fun at parties.

    Of course you're the football guru who wants a QB to throw the ball away on 4th and goal. Hey savant, while we're at it should we just take a QB kneel on 1st down every drive too?

    taylor is a freaking vet he should know to take care of himself and yes so what 4th down in a meaningless game either run out of bounds or throw it away

    also hue should be fired for putting him back in

  • Guess TTaylor will be having X rays or something along that line today. Hope it all comes back negative.

  • Off topic - Chubb.  Not feeling his running style or vision so far. I have serious concerns. Dayes is still my #2 guy.

    Wow ... No.

    I love Chubb coming in after Hyde, two big power backs and Duke.

    Dayes doesn't make my roster ... let alone take carries away from Chubb.

    i concur. He's powerful but too upright. But its after contact mostly that he drags some guys, he doest pop through the seams with power like hyde does to get to the open field.

    Cool.  Then we're watching a different player. 

    The run in with Barnett was a huge red flag for me.

    Nope I think we're watching the same player.

    A talented back getting his exposure to the NFL. That's what the preseason is for.

    What do you like so much about Matt Dayes?

    ?? seriously? you can't be serious. He may have missed up the middle once when that opened at the last split second, but come on.

    It is preseason. When we played the Giants, did you not feel barkley's "style or vision" ?

    Barkley ran it four times against us.

    S. Barkley 4 43 0 39

    Take away his one big run, and he ran 3 times for 4 yards.

    It's preseason.

    Zombo

    The initial stance and subsequent running bother me.  He's simply too high from my vantage point.  On top of that his head and eyes seem to be square with his frame - tunnel vision.  That hit by Barnett literally pushed him outside of edge contain and forced him out that way.  Plus, even for a big man, I could swear he runs very heavy footed. 

    What do I like about Dayes? Pad level, patience, cutback vision, decisiveness and ability to press defenders in the hole before taking his lane.

    If you recall, I was a vocal detractor of drafting Barkley. I have issues with his game as well.

    I dunno man. Preseason or not l like seeing my starting QB balls out on 4th and goal. Practice like you play.

  • I had Chubb as my #2 running back in this class and I'll have to admit I'm worried about his vision. Chubb is a monster up the gut when he had a hole, but hes either indecisive about which hole to go through or just runs into the pile. The line wasn't opening many holes for him so my fingers are crossed hes not another trent Richardson.

    On a side note was I the only one who was impressed with this CB McKinnon kid. I saw him make a couple of really nice plays. S. Thomas looked awful, hell be lucky to get a practice squad spot
