    Dupree is a massive human being.  He's at or over 270 pounds. He's also incredibly stout against the run.  All i know is if the Browns plan to block either with tight ends they are going to be in for a rude awakening and that seems to happen a lot with you all.

    We were talking about Wills on him in run-game.

    Earlier talked about using TE to chip him in PassPro, but I'm sure a TE will be assigned to cut off his pursuit in ZBS away from him.

    That's a significant difference I've seen between this year and last is Kitchens gave some tall orders to the TEs in pass blocking whereas Stefanski does not. Last year it wasn't uncommon to see a TE square up one on one with the other team's edge rusher. This year I see a lot more chip and release type stuff. Better tackle play helps of course.

    I'm not sure we've seen a game this year against a team that really really likes to blitz. Stefanski has shown he can roll with punches though so I imagine he's prepared. It's so strange having a sense of confidence in a coaching staff.

    House cleaning next season for sure.  Can’t really count on Delpit fully recovering next season either. 

    Vets on one-year deals are likely gone.

    Delpit? Achilles repairs don't carry that kind of uncertainty anymore. As long as he is motivated to do NFL-grade rehab we should see him at full speed in Preseason.

    Well one year deals may be back...the NFL lost some dough in this COVID mess and the cap may go down so there may be some cuts and guys thinking they will get paid that might “punt” for one year and try free agency the following. 

    Let’s hope on the Achilles injury. I think he will be healthy but getting back to where you were physically prior to that type of injury takes some time

    Quit reading the Browns Board Andrew Berry ? 

    #Browns  elevated S Elijah Benton to the active roster from the practice squad and will revert back to it following Sunday’s game
     
    Safeties Moffett & Benton both active 53
     
     

    Thatta boy Gumbs!   To dumb jock an old phrase "if the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - why add the only opponent that can beat us today?"

    Efficient planning at Safety - good foresight by you earlier on.

    Injuries can also be a time to shine.  Without them, Brian Sipe would still just be a 13th round draft pick with the arm of a girl scout instead of the type of talent that could become a  League MVP in 1980.  The LAST season we won a Playoff Game - Eric Metcalf and Touchdown-Free Tommy Vardell were supposed to combine efforts for the bulk of the workload.  Leroy Hoard ended up being the Back that helped us to an 11-5 record.  He did such a good job running the ball down the esophagus of our opponents( inclusive of NFC East playoff fronts like Dallas and Philly) that he made the Pro Bowl at a position he didn't even play (Fullback).

    This team has talent to tap on both sides of the ball.  It isn't 4-1 by accident.  If you're not proud of this team - you need a new hobby. There's also a reason we re-signed a great attitude and experienced starter/vet like Chris Hubbard to be ready to give us quality if we lose a guy like Teller. 

    I even get the sense if Baker doesn't look like he can be effective - we'll see the reason why Case Keenum is here.  

    If, for some reason the Browns don't win today, don't be a pussy crying in here.  Just understand the schedule gives us another opportunity at home to even the score. This can be a fun season if you allow it to be...

    No practice update, but Injury report has good news for a trio of key Offensive players...

    Nothing new on the Steeler front...

    Panic Pete it is! ?

    Listen, we beat Pittsburgh and I'm going to be the conductor on the hype train. CHOO-CHOO BITCH! Lol. 

    We haven't beaten them at Pittsburgh since that fateful Sunday night back in 2003 when my friend and I scraped up our money and flew up there to see Tim  Couch destroy those guys! Maybe it's time. ?

    Atta Boy, Jigs !! Dad & I, was on the 22 yard line at that game..As long as we just play a attacking game style I'm cool with the results.. Let MJ Stew attack Ben like the Washington game.. It's time for Clayborn's attacking game to show up too!! Vernon must eat up the running plays..Garrett can't wait & show up late to the party either. If we play our game type of 'Hit everything that moves on Offense & Defense' we should hang in this game.. If We play Loosie Goosie, flag touch football? like that Ravens game.. Well,,, We will lose again.. 

    Here's a mind blowing BB fact, I've tracked since signing up ...When We win? We'll see 3-4 pages of members/guests on this board post game..When we lose? It grows to 5-6 pages post game... Here's a game that usually draws out the most in here a season...  Kickoff is just about 4 hours away... really thinking we will play well & sure were banged up..  If we don't? I'm in the Flugel's boat...We really have no reason to start a pissing parade post game... Go Browns!!

    If we do lose, it'll obviously suck, but it's NOT time to be upset about the big picture. If we can get healthy and STAY healthy a bit...we're in the playoff hunt and we're going to be a bitch to beat, especially when it gets cold. 

  • Hey jigs so how's everything down in sunny FLA going ?  There sure is something in air up north here.

    Along with SD, CAL and the Carolinas too.....

    GO BROWNS, just win......baby !

    It's absolutely beautiful here. 75 and sunny all day. Finishing up my cleaning chores and trimming up some killer New York strip steaks I got from Costco. Having my parents over for the game and life is good! 

    Do I feel great about the game? No, no I don't. But I'm oddly serene about the possibility of losing. When you win 4 in ba row, you don't dread a loss as much. You can actually embrace the mantra that "it's a long season" and you can understand that you're not going to win them all. 

    That being said, this game is worth WAY more than just 1 win or 1 loss. I don't remember the last game I wanted to win more this one, but it's going to take a herculean effort to win, make no mistake. 

    Here's the stat that should bother people. Pittsburgh gets QB pressure on over 55% of passing plays which is 10% higher than the next team. Yikes. 

    And I freaking HATE seeing Joe Haden on the Steelers.

    LMFAO. 

    It's funny, I was just talking about how this is the game I wanted the Browns to win more than any game I can remember, BUT I also don't see "the sky is falling" if we do lose. We are a GOOD team. That's all I've wanted for so long, and we're built for cold weather. We have an excellent chance at the playoffs and that is beyond exciting. 

    Up say this, and it's a bit of an obvious statement, but we're not going to win unless Baker hits some big boy throws. Wentz is struggling this year, but he made numerous unbelievable throws last week and damn near beat Pittsburgh. That's what it's going to take because we won't be able to run like we want to. (probably)

    Can you at least try to be cognizant that your buddy Flugel is drinking fluids when he reads this board?  Good thing it's only water I gotta clean up.

    As much as I contemplated calling 9-1-1 for Jiggs, he's not the 1 I'm worried about.   See if you can remember who on this board decided he'd seen enough of Nick Chubb after his very 1st 2 preseason handoffs as an NFL rookie?   I'll give you a hint - you haven't agreed with him yet...

    You got that right - Baker isn't going to be able to just game manage his way to wins forever. One of these games he's going to have to strap the team on his back and win a game.

    All the people sucking baker off can now see why we have doubts.

    Steelers are doing a great job at shutting down the run at the moment. If we have to rely on Baker for most of this game, it's unlikely we'll win.

    I said one before a couple of weeks ago, sooner or later it's going to come down to Baker making all the right reads and making all the right throws, this was the game. I know he's hurt, but he flat out stunk. The first pick you just don't make whether your hurt or not. This was a terrible outing by the Browns. Granted almost every single important player is banged up you still have to put in a better effort than that.

    And that is a major problem, we SHOULD be able to rely on Baker. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he's banged up, but there were some throws he made that you don't make whether your hurt or not.

    At what point does all that become an excuse? Tomlin always says "The standard is the Standard"

    The steelers aren't fully healthy either and I routinely catch shit for mentioning injuries.  You have to persevere, the good teams do.  All i know is there are a few people that need to eat some crow.  I've got a special sandwich for Tour on the Texans and the Eagles despite maybe the worst two point conversion call i've ever seen with the game on the line by the eagles.

    Baker stinks. He’s gonna play the rest of the year. It’s whatever. Maybe he gets better. He was hurt today, it was noticeable. He still laid an egg
