    Back to the topic at hand. Jamie feels fine but knows he may be contagious.

    Read the first fan comment in this post^^ and am truly no doctor, (Hoorta?) but if true? the nfl makes 1 choice & good luck changing it..

    We need to get moving on with finding a body that can hold & punt..32 teams & 38 punters have a contract in the NFL..Waiviers? Falcons-Matt Bosher.. KC-Dustin Colquitt?.. Jets-Lac Edwards... are your top 3 freebies with good average punt distance.. It's time for Gillan's agent, to deal with the nfl testing procedures..

    another secret weapon - Higgins. No, not kidding - a ton of attention will be paid to Landry and Beckham.....

    and HIggins CATCHES the ball when it is his turn. A lot of the problems last year have been fixed - by replacing the goofy head coach with the Real Deal HC.

    another secret weapon - might not see a lot of playing time...DREW STANTON.

    As a mentor to Baker - it's a terrific fit -

    “Drew is a really smart guy,’’ said Ratley. “I don’t think you understand how smart Drew really is. Drew will tell you something that’s going to work and that thing works. So Bake literally learns from him, so you’ve got to think of it in that kind of way, like Bake’s going to be dangerous.’’

    Mayfield has quickly shown he has the arm talent to pick apart NFL defenses. The next step for him in his career is to quickly diagnose a defense and their coverages. With the help of Stanton, Mayfield could develop that trait quicker than usual, making him an even better and dangerous quarterback in 2019 and beyon

    He's not on our roster.  We signed Case Keenum.  Hopefully Stanton made a lasting impression.  Wanna sign him as assistant QB quality coach?

    You would think cal would at the very least keep up on his homer takes. ?

    See the survey. I predicted that Higgins would lead the team in TD catches

    I'm quite curious too see what our new coach(s) make of him.  And Njoku.

    oops on Stanton, my bad.

    I forgot, dammit. lol

    make that - Case Keenum is the secret weapon, for the same reasons - he was IN Washington - knows the offense, will help Baker immensely, and can step in and run the offense if Baker gets banged up or gets the flu or ...something.

  • Much ado about a punter.  But I WILL say this, after he kicks the ball, you've gotta BLOCK him.  He puts a new spin on the saying, "He's only got the punter to beat."

    I donno, give me a QB who throws at a 65% completion rate, has double the TDs over ints before I get excited about a punter. How often does a punter win games?

    Occasionally, they do help.

    How quickly you all forget the legend of Tom Tupa, who scored the first 2-point conversion in NFL history.. for Cleveland.  He was our punter and QB3.

    Or Steve Cox, the punter who in 1984 kicked the longest field goal in Browns history - 60 yards.

    I always watched the career of Tom Tupa the Cleveland kid that played a long time just punting and as a backup QB and of course his 3 two point conversions while at Cleveland.

    He even made the pro bowl once as a punter and a former Ohio State Buckeye !  Oh yeah !

    Am going to attach "the new guy" to the above post^^... Just image the story-line for a moment ?. We traded Austin Corbett to the Team that took a chance on this college walk-on like myself as a UDFA.. He had no Combine. Nor Pro day, due to a shoulder injury at the time of events. I still think he will out preform Austin Corbett as a Cleveland Brown? and Somehow, Cam Erving can still find work.. Callahan may use the Practice Squad root? But i don't care and I'm a big fan of the UnderDawgs!   

    https://testudotimes.com/maryland-terps-football/2017/4/25/15417286/football-nfl-draft-profile-ot-michael-dunn-day-3  Put the Camp Pads on & go Play big fella!!

    There is a strong correlation between field position and expected added points. 

    Punters may not "win" games themselves, but the contribution adds up over time when you flip field position.   Old say goes - "game of inches".

    My secret weapon was Billings, but now he's opted out =(   

    Next on that list for me would be Elliot and god knows whatever bigs that want to get nasty on the interior.

    I agree, to a degree every inch matters, unless you're the Chiefs and can erase a 28 point deficit and win by 21 going away. Then, yea, a QB can erase a punter's production. ?
