  • Here's who the Iggles are missing...

  • Shawn Bradley still plays in Philly?

    Peters, Kelce, and Johnson are still there but are shells of their all-pro days.. Their swing tackle, Mailata, is 6'8 350# who used to play rugby.

    When Sendejo covers any body, a 6 is likely

    Maybe we need to also ask...Are we asking Sendejo to do too much??? This is where Coach Woods may need to take some blame.

    For instance, Brandin Cooks is a tough matchup for a safety.

    I know we send him on blitzes that have in my estimation lead to 0 sacks from him and contributed to 0 sacks and hurries elsewhere.

    Once again, Sendejo is playing way more than was expected of him, due to injuries. He and Karl Joseph were going to mentor/spell Delpit. 

    The Browns brought in Ronnie Harrison, who has been pretty good. 

    Yes, clearly he is having problems. The coaches obviously trust Sendejo more than Redwine. Not much the Browns can do about the safety position until the off-season.

  • This is a must win, we have to win games against all these lesser teams. So more running the ball and controlling the clock. Also Wentz has been getting a beat down this year, we need to keep that up this week.

    This could end up being a topic of discussion for the Browns front office this week along with the upcoming Eagles game.

    Both Browns rookies from LSU (Delpit/Phillips) are on the short-list of players accused of sexual misdeeds.

    Once again it is Unacceptable. And Delpit was injured in August.

    WouldaShouldaCoulda... YadaYadaYada...

    Bob nailed it.

    Once again Sendejo is obviously the best we have to put on the field at present. Ask your self these...

    • When you draft what you believe is your future at a position, how much do you want to spend on a placeholder?
    • Had we landed a "better" FS, how different would our record be today?
    • Are we just a FS away from our first SB?

    Folks that want to bury Berry based on Sendejo need to look at his other moves and see the whole picture.

    As my dear old Grandma used to say, "It doesn't suck."

  • So Tour’s theory is that if you have a guy that sucks it’s okay. No need to make an effort to get someone better even if he is hurting the team at times as long as the team wins?

    Sendejo may be the best option at FS out there. Redwine went in for a play and bounced off Watson on a blitz.. so lets hope Sendejo stays healthy...

    Caught a couple quotes indicating you are either in or have been in the hospital? So took you off "Perm-Ignore"... temporarily. You're welcome... and hope you get better soon.

    Anywho since you asked...

    Not exactly "my theory". You latched onto one of three points I made (so you must not be that ill... 😉 ). It's also a matter of what you want to pay in hopes of gaining how much.

    I recognize Sendejo has not been playing well... always have... but exactly what has his play cost us? Which game did he lose for us? Two of our three losses were utter blowouts (PTG and BLT) and even the Raider loss was not as close as the score might indicate... and coincidentally it was one of Andrew's better games including a big piece of a goalline stop.

    He's an old vet... playing out of position... and playing hard. That'll simply have to do for 2021.

    Cardio issues. Going home soon. 69 almost guys get those often. I think you should have supplemented your statement of “what has he cost us” with “so far “. Not much but the potential for him to cost us is ripe

    Well I have a completely different issue with the scenario that for the most part is falling on deaf ears. 

    Delpit was hurt August 24 - three weeks before our first game.  The fact that it’s a week before Thanksgiving and he’s still the best we are putting out their is GM negligence.  I’m not totally absolving the coaching staff for this liability - Sendejo is trotting out there every Sunday and playing major snaps and being put in situations as I mentioned previously that are further exposing his level of talent. 
     

    How many games have we lost because of this???? Answer this one...Does you opinion change if he gives up a game winning TD when the Eagles get Reagor/Sendejo matchup.  Or Jax finds him and wins?  Or just makes enough poor plays like he’s destined to and we lose by a FG to Giants.

    Hes getting better at least this was his best PFF performance of the week- 57.

    I truly want to eat a big bowl of crow when he makes some big INT against the Steelers in week 17 to get us into the playoffs.

    Any team that signs Desean Jackson thinking he won't be hurt after 1 game deserves a record like Philly has. How freakin' stupid are they?

    @sdbacker80 said:

    For the record I would have no issues with Sendejo giving us the game winning TD... 😉 ... but I know what you meant.

    I'm sure the casual fan would feel vindicated to point their finger at him by your scenario... but you don't strike me as a casual fan. I have to believe you know that it is seldom that one play determines a game... it's just that some plays are more obvious than others. That said... if it  happened, then I would be bummed out, but really only for the "game that got away".

    "The Playoffs" for me have always been gravy... the cherry on top. That's what the thought of them was when I picked the season before it started. It's no different now with the 3rd Wildcard lowering the bar combined with a couple unexpected wins under our belt (I did not see us beating the Cowboys or the Colts IIRC).

    On the FO... I think you overlook the Staff input on the roster at that time. Had they put a "the season is at stake" priority on FS, then I think Berry & Co. would have made a move. But clearly they did not and he did not. After all minus anything approaching a meaningful TC let alone scrimmages or Preseason game(s) how could they? Add that both Stef and Woods knew the guy from their days as Vikes and I am sure they were confident in what they at least thought they had at the time. Plus we don't know where Delpit was on the depth chart when he went down... at least I do not.

    Here's to me having to ship you a bowl of crow in 2021.
