    Like I get everyone loves Denzel but I don't think he needs their help painting false narratives making him look like a victim.

    The guy was a fantastic pick and he's gonna be a hell of a player.

    The touchdown to Antonio Brown where Ward was right there and put his hands up and between the ball and brown, well Hue Jackson in his postgame press conference was faulting Denzel Ward for that blaming it on him. So one week you got Greg Williams calling him stupid the next you got your head coach criticizing blanket coverage in a game in which you had two interceptions.

    Unbelievable. 

    ..... Neither of those two things happened....

    Williams didn't call Ward stupid. He said he did "stupid things" in reference to how he tackled.

    I just read Hue's postgame. He was very complimentary of Ward. All he said was that he gave up a TD, but he kept fighting.

    .......

    "Stupid tackling got him hurt". I wasn't saying he was questioning his intelligence just that Gregg Williams called his play stupid. I'm glad you read his presser. I watched it. Maybe it wasn't a full transcript you read? Multiple people lashing out at hue on Twitter also for calling ward out the way he did also. 

    And everyone loves Denzel? Read this thread and tell me how everyone loved when we picked him or the numerous other times he's been criticized. Like people calling him a bust just because hard knocks didn't pay him any attention.

  • His hand was right in there on the touchdown catch to (Steelers WR) Antonio Brown. He had a chance to get that ball out, but against a really good player, the guy made that play on him. He came back and kept fighting, kept competing. I think Denzel is made out of the right stuff. He keeps going even though he gave up that touchdown. He put his head down and said, ‘Come on, let’s go.’ He made plays there at the end so that is good to see, but we can’t let them in the end zone on the one.”

  • Your post:

    "Gregg Williams calling him stupid"

    "Head coach criticizing"

    Neither of those things happened. Hue didn't say anything wrong, are you really counting that as "criticizing"?. What's he supposed to say? "Nothing could have possibly been done there. Nothing for Ward to work on. Brown is just too good and we shouldn't even bother. Oh well."

    Geez

  • Ward played a great game... his first INT, the one when he came off his man at the sideline and shocked Ben by diving in front of his target, was a thing of beauty. As good as that play was his coverage of AB, ONE ON ONE, was even better. It was textbook coverage beaten by a great throw and an even better catch.

    Did note that had Ward not made the above INT, Collins was in position to do so.

    He did play a great game and the TD was unfortunate but as everyone has said, it was great coverage. 

    Looks to be a great pickup.  Going to be another test for him and the rest of the defense this week against the Saints in the dome.  I think the offense will look better this week, if Patrick Fitzryan can put up 48 points on the Saints, I think Tyrod and the boys should be able to look a little bit better than they did this past week against Pittspuke in a monsoon. 

    Leaning towards picking the Browns this week....

    Brees losing two in a row at home? Not so fast my friend.

    Maybe we will tie them too.   Also not so sure I'd pin that loss on Brees unless he has started playing defense in his old age.   Not much you can do when your defense gives up 48 points.  

    Still leaning towards picking the Browns.   🙂

    I have him and Ryan from Atlanta that I have too chose from in my league this week. I would be happy to sacrifice Brees to MG for the Browns win, even if it meant I lose the $$. ?

  • Michael Thomas presents a whole different set of issues for Ward.   I actually think this might be the worst game of his season.  Good news is it'll be out of the way early.

    I like Thomas but he is NOT Antonio Brown who is near the top of all fantasy league drafts at the start of every season. Ward took on the most difficult assignment possible already and I am sure he has a jump on fellow OSU player Thomas. He has already seen all the moves.

    MT was gone before Ward started.      Also if MT lasted to the second round of your draft then your league is composed of Retards.    Broke the record for receptions in the first 2 years of an NFL career and will probably top the third year mark as well.  Yes, MT will soon be talked about like AB and he is already viewed as a top 5 receiver.    

    That said it has little to do with moves and more to do with size.  AB is 5'10 maybe 5'11 in cleats and pads at 185lbs.    MT is 6'3 and every bit of 210lbs.   It will be a new level of physical Ward has yet to experience.  THAT will be the difference.  

  • MT is already great... and will be for years to come.

  • Just a superb debut and Avery looks a good value pick where we got him

    Before he started maybe but I'm pretty sure since they are only 2 years apart in the draft that Ward had to take him on in practice at least as a freshman. There are only 8 in our league so he did go after AB did. Yes, he's good but he's not quite up there with AB yet who went 2nd after Gurley. I chose @ #6 and AB and Julio were off the board so I took Barkley. Thomas was listed in the various draft lists around #15 overall, about 5th best WR. My mistake this weekend was not playing T. Hill. Won't make that mistake again.

  • Of all the 2018 1st-rounders, Wardreceived the top PFF grade for his work Sunday.

    Pick No. 4: Denzel Ward, Cleveland Browns

    2018 SEASON GRADE: 85.6

    Ward was a standout performer for the Browns defense on Sunday afternoon. During his team’s regular-season opener, Ward played a colossal 81 snaps, the most among all rookie defenders. 50 of those snaps came in coverage, where he excelled, allowing just six receptions from 10 targets for 50 yards while breaking up one pass and intercepting another two.

  • Performance is a lot about confidence. This kid is off to a great start. Could catapult him into a great season. 

    Should have just drafted OSU all along

  • Denzel’s even hawking his own T-shirts for $30 a pop (some of the proceeds go to local charities).

    Almost mind-blowing how the Browns have seemed to go out of their way forever to not put Ohio State players on their roster.
