    Myles Garrett BEFORE COVID was unstoppable; and the consistent heat he put on QBs produced the strip sack turnovers for the Baker to cook. Garrett looked like he was playing on fumes the last 2 times we watched him play.  As he gets healthier, I think our defense will get better again.  The guy I REALLY miss is Ronnie Harrison. 

    I don't think Myles will be totally healthy until next year. My hope is that he will continue to get a little better each week, but he was certainly struggling against the Giants. I feel so bad for him...it's got to be infuriating. 

    And I agree with you about Nick Harris. He's definitely undersized for a Guard but the good news is that he's actually quite quick on his feet. I'm interested in seeing our running game and how he'll perform. I don't expect miracles or anything, but it's cool to see a kid get his chance. It's also fair to say that the Jets are going to sell out against the run and force us to pass it like other teams have done this year.

    This would be welcomed news because the Jets don't have a great pass defense and if they bring their safeties up, we'll punish them severely. The fascinating aspect of our offense last week was how we took what the defense gave us and we never pressed the issue. We never went "deep" and our longest play was probably 25 yards. I don't expect this trend to continue, and if the weather permits you're going to see some vertical bombs off play-action. We missed one or two big plays last week, and I'd be shocked if we didn't try to get the deep game going. Gonna be a tough game, but perhaps a fun one. Darnold vs Mayfield...badass, right? 

    Browns - 31

    Jets - 20

    I don't understand why he does not go to the bench and suck on an oxygen mask between series?

    Given Sunday's currently scheduled 1 p.m. kickoff time, the NFL may move the game to a later date on Sunday in order to give the Browns more flexibility as it relates to traveling. Several teams this season have traveled on the day of their game due to complications caused by COVID-19. The most recent team to do this was the Steelers, who traveled to Buffalo hours before falling to the Bills on "Sunday Night Football."

    owners are good friends of goodhell?

    actually, the NFL position is, if the covid only affects one position on the team. Or some maybe

    dishonest rationalization.

    We'll see.

    The Denver thing was more of a punishment for their break in protocol

    Damn Murphy's Law had to come in didn't it? 

    Obviously a big blow. Down somewhere around 5 or 6 starters now.

    Wait, now...you are saying it is 4 WRs?   Landry, Higgins, Hodge and Peeps all on covid list? 

    Isn't that ALL of our WRs?  Except for guys brought up from the PS?   Willies, Bradley... and Hall, whom I didn't even know was on the team?

    That means a lot of throws to  Hooper,  Harrison, Njoku,  and to our RBs...  Chubb/Hunt/D'Ernest Johnson?  

    Is the league going to let this happen?

    Maybe.  I heard that if we get a guy that tests positive tomorrow and tracing cannot not be confirmed the game could be postponed.
