More likely TNF tonite...
Meanwhile back at the thread...
This "mailbag" Q&A seems appropriate...
What is the update on Nick Chubb's and Wyatt Teller's return from injury — Elizabeth B., Parma Heights
Both players are progressing well in their respective rehabs, coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier this week. Whether or not that means either player will be back Week 10 against the Houston Texans remains to be seen, but it hasn't been ruled out.
What is going on with Greedy Williams? When can we expect him to play his first game of the season? — Nick D., Wayne, West Virginia
That's yet to be determined. What we know is Williams continues to work hard behind the scenes while recovering from a nerve issue in his injured shoulder.
"He is working very, very hard," Stefanski said. "We are just going to keep seeing if he progresses over the next few weeks."
Oh, Greedy is "working hard....." Thank God for that. What is the longest stretch that he has been healthy the last 2 seasons? A week? Looking like a failed high draft pick.
Browns should win this game with ease. 31-17.

That was the main reason teams didn't want him and it was totally ridiculous. Like all of the sudden he couldn't throw the damn ball or something. He's going to be an absolute nightmare for us, and I can already see him running for multiple first downs when it's 3rd and long and we refuse to cover the middle of the field again. The ONE thing that gives me the most hope is Myles Garrett and the fact Watson holds onto the ball WAY too long.
Apparently the bettors are thinking the same thing, because the Browns are only favored by 2.5 or 3 points.... A 5-3 team at home against a 2-6 road team, that small a favorite?

Lord I want to be wrong. I'm going through the scenarios in my mind and they don't look good. The only way we win is if we jump out to a lead, Myles makes a huge play, then we essentially play keep away with our running game. Basically, the same formula we've used to win 5 games, but this will be tough because Watson will torment us. He had a few CLUTCH runs against the Jags, and that's what will hurt us the most. I have no faith in our Lb's.
In the last 3-4 games, Watson has played about as good as anyone in the league. He has a QB rating of over 100, he's not turning it over, and he's hitting Fuller for one TD bomb every single week. We've forced ONE punt in the last two games, and lord knows that won't cut it.
I'm going to make a separate post later about why I think we'll win, mainly because I don't WANT to think like this, LOL. The Texans are scoring a BUNCH of points, but they're also giving up a lot, too. If we can run the ball effectively, we'll have a decent chance to win in the 4th. But make no mistake about it, this will be an absolute dog fight to the finish. Texans are likely to clog everything up and force us to pass the ball. We're going to have Hodge open deep at least once this game, just have to hit him.

We’ve said the same things since week 1.
We need to control the clock; run the ball and play keep away because the defense isn’t good. That approach will not change with any opponent. The state of affairs is so bad defensively that If we don’t execute well offensively we can lose to the Jets.
We are going to have trouble with ANY offense (Jets included) that executes well makes throws and catches the ball. Aside from Myles, there is NO playmaking happening on our defense. We have guys missing tackles, dropping picks, showing up late in coverage. Last week the big uglies got pushed around.
Right now it’s let’s hope Myles creates a turnover or they miss a throw or drop a pass.

Greedy is making the decision to resign Mitchell this offseason a must.
IMO Mitchell is becoming the most essential guy we need to resign. -

Kinda agree... which ain't bad for us....
Ball control is a plus, but we have to put up points... a bunch of points. Just so happens that the two go hand in hand for us due to our run dependence to set up our passing game.
In turn our points create the pressure on our opponents to score, which shelves their run game driving them into the arms of our D's true strength... rushing the passer. Then with our DBs sitting back in a zone they can make plays on any errant balls the pressure creates.

From another hidden gem website... The run game for the Cleveland Browns is their biggest offensive strength this season. They are top ten in the NFL in rushing attempts and yards led by Kareem Hunt’s 529 yards, which is 10th in the NFL. Their offensive line has been terrific in the run game with 4.87 adjusted line yards, which is third in the NFL, and their 1.59 average 2nd level yards value, which leads the league. With the return of Nick Chubb this week, their run game will improve dramatically with two healthy elite running backs. The Texans are the second most rushed against team, giving up 5.1 yards per carry to opponents and nearly 160 rushing yards per game, the worst in the NFL.

Absolutely. I don’t even care if we keep Ward honestly. In that case you need 1A and 1b at that position.
Ward had made a few plays this year but when time comes are we going to pay him Top 5 corner money?

But even our strength is negated by leaving the middle of the field open and Playing off coverage on the outside.
QBs do three step drops and hit wide open WRs and we let WRs run free with yards after catch.

I did not have this as a Must Win game...but I DID have the Raiders game as a Must Win...and we lost. So now, this is a Must Win game . (IMO)
The season-long stats show us as a very strong running team. What those stats don't show is that we haven't been a real strong running team since we lost Chubb, Teller & OBJ. Teller may be more valuable than we thought.

Personally...I'm one of the biggest Clemson fans living in NC 🥷(2nd place homers, to my hometown tBuckeyes)... My 2nd daughter graduated a Tiger a year after Deshaun Watson got drafted.. Need-less to say "both, Watson & D.Hopkins" became easy 'good guys' to root for, thru her college days... saw some practices & games, thru good solid friendships, that will call during & after this game(book'd it)... I've heard about enough from these such friends
since Ryan Mallet hit a 2 yard pass to JJ Watt in 2014... to Watson & Hopkins rag rolling us twice in 2017 & 18 down in Houston... I will not... have or see any kind of wild gameday predictions on this game...
Even though, with the loss of DeAndre Hopkins(stupid'est trade O'Brain ever made)...Houdini Watson still carries the 8th highest completion percentage at 68.3% this season..Throwing to a corp of Will Fuller, Brandon Cooks, Kenny Stills & ageless Randall Cobb... Brees leads again at over 70%...Baker is ranked 29th at 61.4%... What did the pro scouts miss in DeShaun Watson? Certainly was not his tude, he's one of the most level headed professional person's you'd ever meet.. He's calm, cool & Accurate!! Career rating of 67.1.... Go Browns!! Run Chubby Run !!..And I'll be pulling up a chair, with all 3 daughters & some Clemson fans to HOPEFULLY* enjoy a Brown?WIN!! (the gambling wagers are still coming in)

Scary, considering our pass defense. And, of course, there's our RUN defense....
We're going to have to score points.

Btw, I think the weather is going to be super shitty again. God forbid we have a game last week when it was perfect outside. I absolutely hate watching rainy, windy football. Especially because it favors the defense, and we don't have one.
I'm definitely praying to the weather gods.

I don’t know. If we get Teller and Chubb back. I’ll take the weather.
Texans could have David Johnson out and they will count on Duke Johnson. As long as we realize the threat that will now pose - the short pass game with Watson running.
