    Thursday night's touchdown helped the Browns beat the Redskins. But to add to the outlandish story, Sheehy-Guiseppi had misplaced his cleats before the game, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, so he was running in star teammate Odell Beckham Jr.'s cleats.
    "I'm just blessed to be healthy and be in the position that I am," Sheehy-Guiseppi said. "I just try to stay in the moment and just think about what's to come next. I'm super proud to be able to take advantage of moments like that."
     
    Highsmith has high hopes: "Incredible. To be out of football as long as he's been out, and still have that type of speed? That means he's fast. And now he's eating three square meals a day, sleeping in his own bed. The sky's the limit for him."

    But perhaps in 'their' mind they might see having another thumper RB that can convert 3rd & 1 in case Chubb is dinged as more of a necessity.

    Isn't that what Kareem Hunt is for?  Eventually?

    I think the stars have to line up for Guiseppi  to make the roster.  But if he does, he has to get a haircut.  

    Oh, for sure. Still, the job of punt/KOR is still open.  Fair to say?

    Well, yes.  But unless it's someone exceptional, you usually assign it to a wr, db, rb, etc.   Is Guiseppi exceptional?  So far, he's returned a punt for a td at the end of the 4th quarter, against the bottom of the Redskins roster.  We'll have to try him returning earlier in games and see how he fare's.

    Fair enough.  But if he does not get that job/those jobs....who will?  NO ONE has distinguished themselves at all....either last year or in training camp, that I see, except this guy.   Even if it was against scrubs.

    Yup.  It's been kind of a weak spot for us.  We're desperate for someone to step forward.  He's taken a step forward....

  • Am I correct in thinking Travis Benjamin was the last Brown to return a punt for a TD & didn't he leave in 2015?

    Why not keep the kid? At least we would finally have another THREAT!

    Look for Giudo 😁 to see plenty of KO PR duty over the next couple games. Hey, he's been out of football for a couple years, and only played at the JUCO level. That and the NFL are two different worlds. I'll cut him a break if he's "rusty".   

    MHO? He'd have to totally suck as a WR to not make the team. And do you really want to trot OBJ or Landry out there risking injury returning kicks? I sure don't. 

    Should Sheehy turn in a couple more big plays in the return game, there's no way the Browns would be able to hide him on the Practice squad, he'd be snapped up by another team instantly. 

    The current management team and talent evaluators are on a whole different level from what we've seen in the past. I haven't forgotten they had future HOFer Antonio Gates right under their noses, and didn't realize it.

    He does look Italian doesn’t he? 

    I was a little embarrassed for him acting all gassed and sucking oxygen after that magnificent run back. A better play would have been to act all hard like it was no big deal.

    Well, part of that could be because he was flat on his back in the end zone and everyone jumped on him....making it hard for him to breath under there.  He probably got gassed twice.

    You bet! The 1st guy "affectionately" clothes-lined him & I thought the same thing, that he could damn near suffocate under there.

  • The kid's name makes him sound like a hitman for the Lucchese crime family, but as long as he can tote the rock into the end zone, he's good in my book.

    Fair point. We’ll cut him some slack, but next time he can legitimately act like he’s done it before.
