  • Have we run a 4 WR set this year?

    Peeps will get his S/T snaps, but looks like few to very few at WR.

  • Originally when the BROWNS got OBJ it looked like the missing piece to a super bowl run.

    My how things can change.   😮

    I doubt we run 4 wr sets, but the guys that started out #4 and inactive played 85% and 69% of snaps last week and caught 9 out of 9 targets for 166 yards and a TD, helping our QB to a near perfect qb rating after his initial int ... so I don't think either of them are going to disappear because the great KhaDarel Hodge and his 3 catches in three games returns.

    Hodge is a good blocker and set picker, Peoples is more of a potential play maker, they will both see snaps.

    The implied, but unstated, name in your reply is Higgins. If my math is correct, then he supplied the other 6 catches that Peeps did not... and actually it was 6 of 8 from Baker. Plus IIRC for about 55 minutes of the game Higgins and Peeps were the #2 and 3 WRs respectively.

    My point is that Higgins has earned the #3 role behind Hodge and will push him for the #2. Peeps will be the #4.

    As for Hodge's low, 3-game, catch total... really just proves my other point that in our multi-TE-centric Offense the #3 (let alone the #4) WR sees little PT.

  • Told ya Higgie would push for the #2... 😉

    Peeps size and speed... although not fast by NFL standards it would seem he is our fastest active WR (Taylor is, or was at one time, faster), so, yes, he may get shots. I just hope he doesn't become Benji predictable... in no small part because he does not have Benji speed.

  • Being the #4 WR doesn't mean you only play when there are 4 WRs on the field...

    Plus, DPJ is the most raw with the most potential. Hodge and Higgins are more likely to be at their cap. That share of snaps and targets could shift over the season..

    Interesting article that just came out about DPJ:

    Smart kid wants to be an MD like his Dad. Former Jets punter Steve O'Neal holds the NFL all-time unbreakable net punt record of 98 yds, but completed dental school after football and still practices today in his early 70s.

    Stefanski: WR KhaDarel Hodge ready to resume practicing with Browns

    Reinforcements should be on the way soon for the Cleveland Browns receiving corps. Wideout KhaDarel Hodge is set to begin practicing with the team this week and could be activated from injured reserve in time to play in the Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hodge is ready to come back to practice after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury that led the team to place him on I.R. Stefanski seemed hopeful in his press conference Monday that Hodge, known for his blocking and special teams prowess, will be activated soon.

    The Browns have a need with Odell Beckham Jr. going on I.R. after tearing his left ACL in Sunday’s win over the Bengals. Cleveland has a bye in Week 9 after hosting the Raiders on Sunday.

    As expected, #Browns activated WR KhaDarel Hodge from injured reserve. Roster spot was open after Odell Beckham Jr. was placed on IR earlier in week.
     
    Let the WR snap counting begin ?️‍♂️... Landry/Hodge/Higgins/DPJ/T.Taylor... Excited to watch Jarvis Landry bring this group together on gameday's.. Landry won't care what order they come in..Just bring your best game..
     
    Edit-- Also saw they brought in Derrick Willies for a tryout this week.. Browns will need to drop a roster spot when adding LB Elijah Lee after covid testing..or maybe? LB Jacob Phillips goes to a 3 game IR? but, i thought the same when Greedy went down at camp ?‍♂️... Another roster spot will be needed to get Chubb back off IR after the Bye in week 9.. ?  let's beat these damm Raiders in Baker's House ?...
