Duke
-
Duke Johnson was the guy tabbed for the up the gut runs near the end of the game to make the kicker’s job easier. I thought that was interesting. Seems more Hyde territory. But it worked.
Anyone else notice that? I thought it was either a genious or dumb luck coaching move. He’s credited with 24 yards gained on 3 plays leading up to the winning field goal.
-
Fresh legs. But if I were to not run Hyde, it would have been Chubb. Head scratcher.
-
The use or rather lack of Duke is a head scratcher full stop. Same goes for Chubb when Hyde is averaging about 3.7 ypc
-
Hyde is a beast. And we have depth at RB now. I know lots of you guys never saw that with the Browns before. I have. Enjoy it.
-
His lack of utility in the passing game and usage on some of these lateral pulls is mind numbingly confusing.
-
I will have to assume that they do not trust Chubb to be the extra blocker yet.. Hyde can make the hard yards AND block and keep the free man from killing Baker.
For the fan boys of Chubb, give him time. he is obviously a VERY talented runner and can make people miss and find the hole.. BUT if he can't block, in our scheme he sits the bench except in plays where we have an extra TE to help with blocking.. And we don't seem to do a lot of 2 TE sets...
Next to QB, Running back in our scheme is going to be one of the hardest positions to learn, maybe DB might be harder, but Ward has shown a rookie can come in from college and excel in the position...
Having the combination this year of Duke and Hyde is great.. I just wish they would stick with the run a bit longer and force them to put the extra man in the box and open up Baker for some longer passes.. Make Baker's incredible play action feint be something to be absolutely feared by opposing defenses..
We seem to go away from the run to soon. And we are seem to be trying WAY TO MANY GIMMICK FFREAKING plays... Another reverse in a completely head scratching moment for a 7 yard loss.. STUPID. You have 2 great RB with another waiting in the wings... RUN IT TO THE SEAM or run it up the middle, but stop with the freaking reverses to WR's...

yeah i felt it had to.do with ball control. setting up st the proper hashes. I think he got more than they expected. And thank god, that kick would have missed without those extra yards

Duke is playing the important role of our 3rd down / blocking back.
With his limited touches though, I'm surprised he's not being used to return kicks. Not sure if he's ever done that though.

Duke was a good choice at the end. Fresh legs, as mentioned above, plus speed. Both Hyde and the Ravens' D were pretty gassed that deep into OT.

At least Chubb got back there for a return Sunday.

Could this mean Duke is now going to be split out a lot with Higgins out? ?
DB J McKinnon has been waived

hopefully they use duke outside now that Hilliard is activated

That is how I would read it.

Rumors of Duke to the Eagles on Twitter-verse. Absolutely nothing to back that up. Hope not.

That would be completely stupid, for the Browns (not for the Eagles).

Double Slot Receivers? Landry on one side, Duke on the other? Calloway and either Willies/Streator or Ratley on the outside.
Also....I think it possible that this coaching staff could see Njoku playing some at WR....with DeValve and Fells in the traditional TE role.

Also how I wrote it... yesterday.
Yes, and I wrote Sunday Night of getting Duke more involved in the passing game if Higgins was going to be out for any amount of time.
I don't think the Browns will be calling us soon to tap into our brilliance, though.

I love Duke but it completely depends what the Eagles are offering as to whether or not its a good thing.
