Hartline out for the year

I like the idea. Not that it has to be Lenz. This is a perfect chance for us to pluck someone off another practice squad for a 3 game tryout. Got to look towards next year. I'd start looking at players on contending teams.

Or that ex-QB we picked up and are trying to see if he has what it takes. That guy's big and real fast. Just a thought.

Too bad... Hart seemed to clearly have the best chemistry with JM.

Aside: The impact on the play he was hurt did not look that bad. There's been a real rash of shoulder/collarbone injuries lately... many just as innocent looking.

Agree, he seemed to be on the same page with JM. Of the little dudes on this team (hawk, Gabriel, Hartline and Moore) I'd put him towards to the top in the "keep" column.

You may know this but the collarbone is the easiest bone to break in your body so it often doesn't look bad because it takes very little impact to break.

Many of us knew right away what the injury was when we saw Hartline clutching his shoulder area. He had a really good game and made some solid catches. What really sucks is that he and Johnny seem to play well together, and now that he's out, who the hell is Johnny going to throw the ball to? LOL

I'm not sure how 'little' a guy can be when he's 6'2" but sure.

Whitner saw the field in the victory formation.. I have to think that would have been Hartline.

Did not notice that, but since the back an is intended to be a last safeguard against a fumble return a Safety makes more sense than a WR.

I did not, but have a few toes that are registering disagreement...

Not sure when the other play was, but Whitner is actually credited with playing 2 offensive snaps at HB.....maybe right before the half?

I have had one broken collarbone, and more broken fingers and toes than I have, well, fingers and toes.

Did we kneel twice?

Mudfly

I think we did going into the half.....have a faint memory of snap, kneel and then walking off with 20 seconds or so left

I fell off the table playing with my helter skelter aged about 4. My dad was in the other room, 'watching' me. Mum was not impressed when she came home.

Fingers and toes are usually from soccer, that most rough and tumble of games.

Hopefully Hawk and Gabe are back next week.

Hartline has been terrific last few weeks.

Are those two back? How do we know?

It is truly amazing the amount of support I've received the last 2 hours from Browns fans, Buckeye fans AND Dolphins fans. Thank you all!

Didn't he play HS at North Canton actually?

To be fair and to clarify, the collarbone takes the least amount of pressure to break and therefore is the "easiest". For sure people break toes and fingers at a higher volume but it's because they are a lot more exposed of course.

Mudfly

any chance all these collar bones are a result of players trying to avoid helmet to helmet?....it is the next closest thing....

Just a crazy guess.....but it makes you wonder.....
