I believe most of us have been very disappointed with Njoku - I certainly have been. Hopefully he has grown up a bit, and Hooper is a great influence on him. He's been playing really well - I didn't notice how much: https://www.brownsnation.com/david-njoku-having-quietly-effective-season-for-browns/

@icecube said: The O did nothing with him playing in games, blew up since he's been out.  Yeah those 49 points vs. Dallas really sucked... as did the 32 vs. the Colts... 34 vs. WSH... and 35 vs. Cinci...

ive seen greg pruitt say alot of nice things about chubb and hill

Speed, Power, Shiftiness, Vision, Hands, attitude, etc. What else could you ask for?

Guess who is #!! https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/predicting-leading-rushers-for-the-2020-21-nfl-season/ Football world, meet Nick Chubb…the NFL’s leading rusher for the 2020-21 season. He plays for the Cleveland Browns and, if haven’t followed the team, is one of the most electrifying backs in the NFL. He, too, has a new head coach in 2020 and will run behind an upgraded line—hello, Jack Conklin and first-rounder Jedrick Wills Jr.—while also enjoying the fear-based fruits that fall from the Odell Beckham Jr.-Jarvis Landry Coverage Tree. His accolades won’t guarantee the Browns go any better than 8-8, regardless of the easy lineup (fourth-weakest). And before you get angry with that, Cleveland, realize one thing—that’s also to suggest the team might finish 9-7. I wonder how much the tandem of Chubb & Hunt will cut into Chubb's numbers?   Regardless the BROWNS look to have a pretty good balanced attack...... with some ball control and hopefully clock management to help out the defense.

RIP Coach Shula after 90 good years.   One of the very best.

@gumby73 said: Thank you Tia, and perfectly explained...i thought i knew both concepts between nickel's. and your version leaves a clear picture.. I was listening to Mike Renner at Pff on the radio & browns draft breakdown adding Delpit.. Renner kept confusing the conversation with Nickel & Woods at 9'ers great %age of 3 cover zone shells..Anywho,, Renner see's alot of us playing  Ward, Greedy,Kevin Johnson, Delpit & Joseph.. with some better depth at safety in Zendejo & Redwine & CB T.Mitchell. Also, Renner loves the pick of Phillips, but only see's us playing with 2 LB'ers a lot.. but am like you, thinking now Renner knows nothing about us adding Goodson so Jacobs just won't be handed the keys like Renner thinks...one of these days we may just find out..thanks again No reason to thank me.  But I believe that's what I offer over most anyone that covers the NFL as a whole.   There's just too many moving parts, too much personnel, for one person to give a truly informed decision on every team without some "Huh?" moments.    Team specific analysts are really where it's at. RE: Renner.   Sounds like he believes that Delpit will win the centerfielder spot in our single high shells.  It's possible he does just that, but Sendejo won't make it easy for him.   So if he's starting, that means he has earned it.    You can play cover 3 from damn near any personnel, but I'm not sure what MR is referring to.  If he believes we'll be in nickel most of the time, well, you don't have to be a paid analyst to make that assessment.   I think the difference here is this - will we be playing the bulk of our nickel with a 3rd corner, such as Mitchell or Johnson? Or will most of our nickel be with a 3rd safety?  In which case the likely candidate for that spot is Delpit given his size and having some athletic traits over Sendejo and Karl Joseph in man coverage.   Plus a solid opportunity to showcase his proof on improved tackling. I would expect an employee of PFF to love the Phillips pick, he was rated highly by them.   But if he thinks JC will be in on the nickel sets as the 2nd backer, then that means Goodson will be outside and Phillips has won the ILB spot.   LIke I said, a lot of moving parts.
