Running Game

Two questions.
Will the offense of line get together to improve the run game eventually?
Second are we officially disappointed with Nick Chubb yet?

I would think that the line will get better as long as they all stay healthy and continue to work together since the line that is starting has actually only been playing and practicing since week 1.
Chubb clearly didn't do a lot of blocking at Georgia but other than those missed plays, he's run the ball well when he's had the chance.

During games l’ve caught myself clenching my fist and yelling “RUN IT!!!” very loudly to no one in particular at various downs and distances. First and 10. Second and 10. Third and 4.
I have a reinvigorated faith in the running game. l’ve seen us peel off enough 10ish yard runs this early on that it makes me giddy.
What I saw with Baker was plays getting off much faster, which helped the OL & runners were hitting holes faster. All this also helps the play action passing game as well. I have a feeling we may see all 3 of our backs more active against Oakland.

By this I think you mean quicker snaps... and yes, our pace and energy both picked up noticibly
But also, Baker's getting the ball out quicker puts pressure on the DL. They could not take that beat (or two... or five) to analyze run/pass as they could with TT. If you commit to the pass rush and you set yourself up to be blocked on runs.
Just wait until you see how it looks with ?. ?
Is that a teenie-tiny lil Bell?
The unsung hero... Orson Charles (#82) has become the Browns's H-back (TE/FB combo) over the past 2 weeks, especially against the Jets where he played 21 offensive snaps, mostly at FB, and clearly provided Hyde with a boost.
I know it's not fashionable in today's game, but Lord, how I do love the "I"...

I was BEGGING for the I-formation, and I GOT IT. You know what's crazy? We had a fullback on the roster, who was largely unchallenged for the starting role in Danny Vitale. I believe he's now on the IR? Gone for the year? I could be wrong. Anyway, was it Orson Charles that switched from TE to fullback on those I-formation plays? How about that 3rd down TD run by Hyde? It was blocked so well that Bitonio basically had nobody to HIT. Bitonio hit the hole like a RB, and his mere presence caused the defenders to fly backwards.

Bitonio’s fumble rumble was pretty badass too, at least in the category of things that don’t count. Took like 3 guys to pull him down.

Took 3 guys or took 'like' 3?

Are kidding me?! That was COMPLETELY badazz! Dude, Bitonio looked like he knew what to do with the pill, lol! If he would've somehow taken it to the house, I can only imagine the carnage that would've ensued once it was called back for the random "can't advance a fumble under 2 minutes" rule. Btw, Joe Thomas' reaction was absolutely priceless.

Bito's rumble was but another sign of the energy the QB change injected into the entire team.

Actually I saw it as reflective of the drive by the entire team to prove to everyone that they are no longer the hapless Browns. No more showing up in name only.

Could be...
Certainly we saw an invigorated Defense the prior 9.9 quarters.
Offensively? I'm not so sure...
