    He has to try to be successful in other ways -  no shame in that either...but the other ways aren’t the old ways and it’s easier on a defense 

    I think the one person that would confirm what you say would likely be the Steelers OC.  HE is, after all, the one calling the plays that include the dinks, dunks, crossing patterns that call for BR to release the ball very quickly.  Few plays to go downfield are called for that I could tell. 

    Now, again...it is working. And it helps that the Squibs run so many pick plays, but it is working.   And it is the sort of thing that our defense can have trouble with. 

    Yeah the pick plays, end arounds, WR screens we have our work cut out there to shed blocks and tackle.  Quite honestly our personnel is not equipped to handle it.  Our corners and safeties aside from Joseph aren’t physical and aggressive tacklers.  FYI-  He needs to get healthy for this game.  I mentioned earlier the Colts did a simple WR screen early in the game that got 15 and we had nobody around of course they didn’t go back to anything close to that play design.
     

    It doesn’t take a whole lot of brain power to know that the stuff i mentioned above is coming.  So if we don’t have plan or aren’t able to execute that’s on us.  It is what you see in their games (last week prime example of all of the above) and it’s a must when you factor possible interior line injuries and Andrew V vs Myles Garrett. 
     

    The fake pick play and Claypool release right down the middle for a TD was a catchy play.  I hope we study that well on tape.  

    I’ll take the creative play calls within a controlled scheme rather than The old Ben pinball/escape artist with Antonio Brown going deep

    Sendejo will be all over it... ?

    I tell you who concerns me on our team is Peoples-Jones. That guy looks so slow running the ball out and he holds onto it with one hand. I'm not kidding, he's carrying it like a loaf a bread, and if I can see it, THEY can see it. I'd be surprised if they didn't kick to him every time so we don't get it at the 25 and we have to run it. He's going to fumble unless he drastically changes his technique, and if that's gonna happen, it's going to happen against Pittsburgh. ?

    I was thinking the same thing Sunday.  He is fumble or a stupid play (almost two weeks ago) waiting to happen.   He’s a 4th WR that is going to fight for a roster spot every year definitely not a Special Teams guy.  Putting aside my Hate toward Michigan, he’s not the UM WR you want it’s Nico Collins.

    Well, we need to give him time. He is a raw rookie.  I think some have said  (even Woody maybe) that he could have used another year in college ball.  And, he was, after all, only the #189 pick.  Not a lot expected of him.  I can only counsel patience when it comes to him.

    Maybe ease him in a little more. 5/10 offense plays a game?   Not a fan of putting him in a spot at this point where ball security can come into question 

  • Injury updates... Big upgrade for Ogun's status.

    Aren't we all questionable and "day to day"? 

    Who said that originally?

  • Okay boys and girls.  Can anyone confirm what the hell is going on with the mobile interface for the board? It is near unusable now.  I jumped on my lap top. 

    I will also be shocked if Pouncey doesn't play as he looked fine closing out that game.  I doubt Decastro does.  I assume Johnson may also be told to take it slow on a return to prevent further injury. We have the depth so he can sit if necessary.

    I had been having that problem on my phone,  but lately, this week, it seems to be working fine.

    Its one step away from completely unusable for me right now.  It has gotten worse over the last few days.

    Don’t worry you will not want to come back after Sunday.

    That isn't how i operate.  I've been on this board for a LONG time.  I started a new name after I lost the info on my first and couldn't recover it, I think maybe back in 06.

    Good.  
     

  • Watt and Dupree on the edge is a big conversation piece.

    Tuitt and Cam on the interior is the battle I'm really interested in watching.

    Whereabouts in CBus are you? 

    I have family in Dublin and Reynoldsburg. 

  • Been catching up on my Browns news, watched the Redzone last night...

    Not sure why this surprised me, but the last time the Browns beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh Big Ben was still in Oxford playing for Miami. That's right, they've lost 16 in a row in Pittsburgh.

    You're right little fella, but there was another time the Browns lost 16 in a row in Pittsburgh. That became known as the Three Rivers Jinx....until Bernie and Company came a long and broke it.

    Was the start of many good things to come.

    Now it's Bakers turn.

  • All I can say is those safeties better know who Claypool is.
