Njoku Back In

The Browns Board

  • The louder he is with wanting out, the more I hope they keep him. 

  • Njoku fell below the Vickie Mendoza Diagonal [aka the hot-crazy relationship line] a while ago.  Not one of Sashi's better picks.

  • His rap sheet is: bad blocking, drops, huge vertical jump that I've almost never seen being useful, but also some good TDs and catches...

    I would like to keep him, but he hasn't lived up to his 1st round pick status.

    Drew coached him into saying that. The writing was on the wall, they took a shot and no team bit. It's a good development for the Browns. Now Joke will give his version of his best effort. Add up a motivated Joke, Hooper, Landry, OBJ, Chubb. Could be serious. 

    Could is the operative word here... But year in and year out we win the offseason then stink like high hell when it counts... Until they prove otherwise... This team is complete and utter garbage... They'll be lucky to win 6 games this year...

    I know you are still working on your American lingo, but this was unintentionally hilarious! ?

    That would be "rap" sheet, Nero.

    LOOOL. Thanks 

  • Looks like Hooper is a no go this next game so time for Njoku to shine.

    THIS...is a problem in Stefanski's offense.  The TE's HAVE TO block in his wide zone running attack.  Njoku is God-awful at blocking.

    He's not the best but I'm pretty sure he is getting better this year. I don't have stats to support this, so I could definitely be wrong, but Njoku seems to be doing a better job. He's certainly not Hooper, but maybe he can make up for it by getting vertical (assuming Baker can actually throw to the middle). 

    We're going to need him today. 

  • hopefully he will show of his talents today I mean really balls out and then trade his ass lets say to the giants to get peppers back and if we have to throw in a draft pick then so be it

    Down the seam TD catch, a play we hadn't seen for some time by our TEs as Tour pointed out...

    Bryant looked awesome

  • Our TEs are playing well, and I even saw Njoku blocking well on some run plays.

    Ditto... not exactly a roadgrader, but I noted a couple nice seal blocks on the backend of ZBS calls away from him.

    Plus a highlight reel TD catch...

    You'd think a team that runs as well as our does, with athletic TEs and a QB whose strength is play-action would feature this? It is surprising. 

    Njoku is probably the best of the three for the down-the-seam route, though.

    Baker missed badly on a similar throw earlier in the game. It was a vertical route that he didn't put enough air on, but that TD throw was absolutely gorgeous and Njoku made a HECK of a catch. It was literally perfect and I knew Baker was feeling it when he made that throw.

    THAT throw was 2018 Baker.

    Sure enough was! Btw, that game winner was stunning as well. It literally dropped right in the basket for the win. Unbelievable. Deep sideline throws haven't been kind to Baker but that throw was huevos grandes.

    Gun to my head, this game doesn't change my thought that Baker's ceiling is that of an average starting QB long-term. 

    My man, he was fun to watch today.

    Hard sell, eh? 😉

    We've seen the ceiling... and it is plenty high enough.

    So it comes down to: 1.) consistency... where there's a ways to go. And mastering 2.) complexity... which was not exactly a hallmark of Cinci's D today.

    Actually the above two have a good bit of overlap since it's been struggles with complex Ds that have been the source of much of the inconsistency.
