roster moves: signed LB Montrel Meander to the active roster from the practice squad & waived T Alex Taylor from injured reserve with an injury settlement

Well one of these damn LBs needs to meander on over there and start making some plays for this defense. It's a start anyway.?

I don't get the LB plan on this defense at all AG ... We have none on PS & 2 promising newbies are out including Jacob Phillips, who's knee is still in a walking boot.. We sign Parkey, than bring in 3 more kickers to practice yesterday..

1) Meander... is 6'2" 215lbs. He's listed as our 3rd FS on the depth chart behind Sendejo/Redwine... after seeing the all 22..Sendejo looked his age and slowing at age 33..We might see more of Redwine? Hoping to see more than 2 snaps from Ronnie Harrison too...

but Imo, my concern for Woods in this match up? The Bengals overall WR/TE length size is Steeler'ish..AJ, Tate, Tee Higgins are all around 6'4" plus.. both their TE's about the same length..?

bottom line.. I don't see Meander being brought up and playing as a true LB... but damn we'd better hope he can cover some thin & thick length..

Edit-- Thanks to the condensing job to Bungle week here Zombo..

Mayfield is reminding me more and more of Johnny Football.

In Mayfield's defense, he's been through 4 head coaches and 3 different offensive systems in 3 years, so that doesn't do him any favours for becoming comfortable in his position. Plus, with the Covy, the Browns in general didn't really have much of an opportunity to get well acquainted with Stephanie's system, so they already started the 2020 season behind the 8 ball. I think Lamar is doing better than Mayfield because he's had much more organizational stability to help support his growth as a QB than Baker has had

This game is always a favorite match up for me as a Browns fan. This game is big only because of the Heisman winners of Mayfield, and Burrow. If the Browns lose tonight to this Bengals team, its going to be a long week until next Sunday's game. There wont be enough words to express concerns about this teams efforts to win not only big important games, but every game. If the Browns win, it will be time to exhale and breathe a sign of relief and prep for the next game with a few extra days to study for.

Let mixon get is. If he gets 14 rushes in the first half, I'll feel good about things. Let him 'have success' and run the ball for 65 yards on 14 carries...we'll take that all day. The more they are handing the ball off to him in neutral game situations the better.

Prevent Burrow from making big running plays(he can be deadly as we've already seen with the sneak)

Force burrow into turnovers

Use the short passing game to set up the deep throw. Go up tempo a little with the passing game.

Heavy heavy pass/run balance on 1st and 2nd down.

We do all this in the first half, and we'll easily be in control of the game by halftime.

Can you elaborate further on this.

Because it can either be taken as you saying the Browns should be pass heavy on 1st and 2nd, or far more balanced.

Which is the antithesis to what your previous claims have been.

Oh, and I'm still waiting on your response to my last line of questioning.

Why you'd give Joe Borrow a solid chance in this league? do ya See Train car Engine #97 ? and he just keeps coming back for more ?

Much respect young Joe Burrow..

Much respect young Joe Burrow..

Even though JB had good college training at two great football factories Ohio State and LSU he still just finished his second game in the NFL and had a shot at winning game 1

I think he will be a decent NFL quarterback.....but they were saying the same thing after Baker Mayfield's rookie year.

Big season for each of them this year.

Great game... At least everyone looked engaged and focused... I like the rhythm they established on Offensive... Havent seen that in awhile..... MG finally impacted the game that affected the outcome toward a W.. Need to see more of that... while it was not perfect.. The play calling was much better..... OBJ looked like a WR last night.. Landry was consistent.. I think Parkey earned a place to stay for awhile.... Jojo Natson reminds me of the cube (Gerald McNeil)
