    Trade done.  Why do we need to talk about it any more.

    Is this an oxymoron? ?

    More like Oxydol.  Time to clean this up. 

    Really...the only thing now relevant is who we get with the draft pick we got in trade. And we can't worry about that until next April.

    Or, perhaps the only other point of conversation is:  how do the Browns fill the hole left by Duke's departure.  And that has sort of been answered as well:   Dontrel Hilliard, and then Kareem Hunt.  Unless the Browns decide that some waivered RB can do us better than Hilliard (which is entirely possible)

    If cincy drops Trayveon Williams, grab him. 6.0 ypc and 66 passes caught in 3 year career including over 2000 r/r to lead the SEC in 2018. 6th rounder with a RB rich team,so there is a chance. 4.4 speed.

  • Duke? I don’t miss him already

    ❤ 😂

  • Well... Looks like Duke's gonna get his chance to be "the guy".

    Starting Texan RB, Lamar Miller, tore his ACL vs. da Boys last nite adding injury to insult in HOU's 34-0 loss in an intra-state preseason game that's as real as they get.

    He is not an every down back.  Not really.  So, he may be "the guy"...but he unlikely will not be "The Man".   He he is very good in his role as a 3rd down back, but he is not the hammer that you sometimes need back there. I guess they will be scouting the waiver wire for a short yardage guy,  unless they think they have in tow already.

    Fair to say?

    There will be plenty of short yardage type of backs out there after final team cuts.

    i dunno, i think he can easily do heavy lifting...but maybe only for a season or so. He needs to be paired with a short ydage back....then he can easily be the man. We're spoiled now cause chubb is that all purpose workhorse u can run east/west north/south and u have no dropoff.

    I agree. I have a high opinion of Duke and think he can damn well whatever he sets his mind to on a football field. Watching Hunt blocking blitzers in the back field made me miss him already.

    I recall that game last year when we were trying to run out the clock to seal the deal, and everyone and their mothers knew we were running it, and Duke was the guy running it. And run it he did, first down and cake and ice cream for all.

  • Duke will get injured In The first 4 weeks. Calling it. (I don’t want to call it, don’t want him injured, but he’s never been a consistent guy without getting banged up)

  • He's never appeared to be an every down back to me.  If he's in there for a handful of plays or so,  and ran the ball a few times, he'll have his hand up to be spelled.   And he tends to get dinged in games that he has to run the ball more than a couple of carries.

    That list didn't say where each of those guys went to school.    I mean, it also had like Davy Crockett on there...Damarea or somebody. Wouldn't a team called the Texans hope to have a Crockett on it?
