    Finally! It looks like Chief David Njoku just might be active against the Bengals. Then we'll really get to see this offense shine. He's our big target. With Landry and OBJ both standing at 5'11 or 5'10, Njoku give defense's a BIG PROBLEM to worry about come gameday. It's on like donkey kong now brother. Gotta win out and we just pulled out the big guns. DAWG CHECK!!!

      I forget, did we ever find out exactly what we got for him?

      Browns receive:   2021 undisclosed draft pick

      Eagles receive:   DE/LB Genard Avery

      I read somewhere it’s a 4th rounder

        Sounds to me that this will be his last game in orange and brown. Dorsey isn’t real keen on his fundamentals, especially blocking. 
        He’s a goner

        Just as the sun rises He’s good for a drop, a crucial missed block and dumb penalty each game.  The size and speed are obvious.  We need a football guy though

          When you drop one for a turnover, then the coach gives you hell for it.... probably a bad idea to bitch back. If Fat Freddy returns, it’s a lock Dave won’t be here. Doubtful regardless.

            I’ll pass on that. This entire offense this season has been putrid. I’ll hold on to one of my former 1st rounders and figure out how to use a big body, athletic player. 
             

            But I’m not a worthless head coach who can’t figure out how to use my players either.

              Do we have any ideas why Njoku is a healthy scratch? Wtf is going on? Higgins too?

                  Higgins is the true mystery.  He served as a security blanket all last year.  We have guys like K Hodge getting his touches

                    Yeah, but I THINK I understand this one. I think Higgins and Freddie got into it a while ago about Higgins being healthy and when he should have returned. Sounds like it just escalated. But why cut off your nose despite your face if you're Kitchens? Wouldn't that help your offense and your struggling QB to play Higgins and/or Njoku?

                      Uhh,  if Lombardi says anything, expect the exact opposite.  

                      Unless he is just talking about the DC.....that makes sense.

                        Exactly the type of pettiness that a one and done coach would exhibit.

                        Its okay to punish but punish hard and then move on.  
                         

                        Another example of poor leadership here

                                Higgins and Njoku should be out there. OBJ, Landry, Higgins, Njoku, Chubb and Hunt should all be back with a real OC and HC 2020. Fuck Freddie. His bullshit cost us the playoffs, with the Randall thing as well. Our safety getting canned because he spat some shit on twitter and Myles beating Rudolph with his helmet are all direct cause and effect of poor leadership. He's our coach until 4:30 tomorrow and then it's peace out Fucker. Thanks for nothing.

                                  I pretty much agree. The interesting part will be who wins. Dee Haslam likes McDaniels from NE. Her stupid fucking hillbilly cuck of a husband wants to keep fat Freddy.

                                    Yeah, but I THINK I understand this one. I think Higgins and Freddie got into it a while ago about Higgins being healthy and when he should have returned. Sounds like it just escalated. But why cut off your nose despite your face if you're Kitchens? Wouldn't that help your offense and your struggling QB to play Higgins and/or Njoku? 

                                    Exactly the type of pettiness that a one and done coach would exhibit.

                                    Its okay to punish but punish hard and then move on.  
                                     

                                    Another example of poor leadership here

                                    Hard to disagree with you here. Unless there was REALLY something bad the players did, but I highly doubt that.

                                      If some players aren't getting punished for things other players do get punished for - a HC could lose the team fast. I can't remember if O'Dell get disciplined for a stupid penalty he had on the opponent's sideline last week; but if he didn't - that's going to piss off a lot of the guys that would have been punished for the same kind of avoidable action. We also don't get to see what is happening on the practice field throughout the week.  This is just hearsay but I heard Njoku dropped about 6 passes in a row a week or 2 ago and he continued the dropsies in other sessions.  If he's a 1st round draft pick and that's all he wants to give back to the team paying him 1st round cake - take seat, rinse, repeat.   If you fail to prepare - then prepare to fail.  This isn't the kind of guy you want to depend on. 

                                      I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

                                        You could be right. Even when he caught that 4 yard pass against Cincy, he STILL didn't catch it cleanly. He bobbled it and finally secured it. Just like the bullcrap turnover that one game where the ref called it a pick when the defender rolled over and took the ball.

                                          Not unbelievable at all.  We’ve all watched Njoku drop passes during the games.

                                          He can’t drop passes period his run blocking or lack thereof means he needs to contribute to the team in the pass game.

                                          Back to discipline the report on Higgins early in the year was that he was called to play and he didn’t want to enter.  The other side was he was still nursing an injury.  Other than a nickname of “Hollywood” Since he was drafted have there been any diva moments from him?  Any dependability issues?  I can’t think of any or anything that could be dug up from Cleveland Media at practice facilities.  He was actually a guy that was humbled last season and released or almost released at one point.  Has Hodge really overtaken Higgins on the depth chart?
