Elgton Jenkins is out with a concussion. He did not participate in practice during the week. Luke Wypler is expected to start at center in place of Elgton Jenkins.
Way to go bbedward!!
Well, here we are. We've finally crawled out of the basement and into 3rd place in the division (using tiebreakers). And we're playing a game that would put us in 1st. (tiebreakers again, as the Ravens will no doubt beat the Titans...but the Bengals play the Hot & Cold Jaguars, although theoretically, this would be the Cold week for the Jags, especially after dismantling the Patriots). Bottom Line: We're looking to take the lead in the division at the quarter pole! On National TV (for whoever pays for that). I mean, after week 1, who saw this coming?
ANYWAY.....although the Steelers have better numbers than us in every category, nothing shows that we're overmatched. Of course, I've got no category for the effin' penalties! I can hear it now, on Thursday night: Holding! Number 71! and False Start! Number 71! - we survived some crappy officiating last week.
Rogers does NOT want to get hit. We don't have Myles to make Rogers use only the half of the field that Myles isn't on anymore. (Rogers was scared shitless of Myles) But Mason Graham has probably earned some fear from Rogers now. And Root seems to dial up timely Safety blitzes, etc. to try and create sacks.
Unfortunately it's a very short week and there's no time for players to get healthy so I'm not expecting to see Campbell back in at CB. Blackman is a deep bench player who's starting. It's scary. But he didn't do all that bad last week against a really good passing team, PLUS having a player like Denzel Ward on the other side, the opponent is going to focus to Blackman's side...so, he did admirably. He was 2nd on the team with 9 tackles and he had 1 pass defended. Of course Ward only had 3 tackles because he didn't have to tackle his receiver too often. 
Steeler Week! We have a pretty good track record on Thursday Night Football. Let's create some more memories! Let's beat the Steelers and TAKE 1st PLACE!
Myles may be coming back around game 9
Wow! I haven't been paying close attention. I was thinking he'd be back after the 4 week IR period. That's more bettah.
How did the running game look yesterday? On paper it looked like Judkins was productive.
Basically, we couldn't run the ball. I know the paperwork looks like we could...but we couldn't. At the end of the game we needed one yard to take knees. On 3rd & 4th down we couldn't get the yard. And I mean it looked BAD. I mean it looked like there was NO WAY the ball carrier was gonna get the yard.
Against the worst run D in the league we couldn't count on our run game for crap. Judkins wound up with 70 yards, but it looked more like 30.
With their best offensive and defensive players missing for now,
Let's have the losses stack up while they're out. They play the Eagles & Bills over the next 2 weeks.
I swear he was all over the place in the playoffs last year. I don't know what it is here, but they're certainly not shy about running to his side. Three total tackles yesterday.
Thank You Broncos! Anywhere from 6th to 16th.
71 is Titus Howard..
Every game his name is burned into our memory as the guy attached to the official's favorite #.
Dawand Jones lost a lot of weight this year - this could be the ideal year to see what he has at RT.
That's where we put him when we drafted him. We eventually had to move him to LT to replace the #71 that flopped over there.
Hey mjp28, today was chocolate moose to desert a Browns win!
Brpwns get the W. At the end of the day thats all that matters.
Like I always say sometimes, in golf, it's not how, it's how many.
Maaan, we cannot line up and run for a yard. It's a QB sneak, or kick/punt it. The Panthers gave us the ball twice by going for it on 4th down. We gave it away deep in our territory last week. Fourth and our side of the field has to be a punt. Give our D a fighting chance. Judkins earned every pounded for inch of the 70 rushing yards he's credited with.
Ya know who's quietly been a big help to the offense? Raheim Sanders. He's made some nice catches. Put in some tough extra efforts resulting in drive saving 1st downs. He's doing a nice job.
Does anyone not know who our #71 is? Week in and week out he's the official's favorite player. And Austin Barber had a 1st Qtr he'd like to forget I'm sure.
Mason Graham had another good game. The D had their backs to the wall many times and all but once forced them into FG's. They gave up 360ish yards but they again get credit for the Save.
I like Monken. High fiving the home fans after his 1st home win...that's kinda' priceless. But I second guess a call or two every game it seems. When we made them re-kick the kick-off. I was like, No, we've got the ball outside the 25. Take a few penalty yards and call a play. Too many times the receiving team is called for a bad block. We end up starting around the 10. Well, this time we coughed up the ball. And I wanted us to kick the FG on our final 4th down play. Going up 6 at that point felt like the thing to do. Make them have to get it in the end zone again. I understand that if you get one yard, you win the game. BUT WE CAN'T GET ONE YARD! At what point is it like trying to force a square peg into a round hole?
Fannin came up with 2 TD's for my fantasy team today. Good to see him carrying on where The Chief left off.
OK...I guess that's it...unless I'm forgetting someone...or some position... I'm thinking that Watson is not tremendously happy with his performance today. I'm sure he's happy in the sense that they got the win, and no small part of it was because of the success of his arm and legs. But he made some throws that were uncatchable but should've been rather easy completions. Still though, two weeks in a row, the man took us down the field late in the 4th quarter for go ahead TD's. To which the D was able to record the save. Just syin'...
Congrats fellow Browns Fans!! Thank you Browns!!
Which way will the season turn today? Go Offensive Line!
...and go Broncos tonight!
What Deshaun Watson said about facing the Panthers
“They don’t give up big plays. They’re big and strong up front, great, reactive, experienced linebackers. And then the secondary is very experienced, they’ve played a lot of ball together, so, they’re definitely going to make a team, make us earn every yard, and we got to make sure that we know that. We can’t give them free passes, and we got to take care of the ball, and just make sure that we take it one play at a time, because they’re going to make us earn it.”
Perfect. Nothing antagonistic for the Panthers to pin up in their locker room.
Nick Chubb Weekend.
Nick was my favorite Brown, every year he was on the team. I think Stefanski put it best during Chubb's last year on the team. He said that Chubb did everything right. In the weight room, in the meeting rooms, on the practice field, in the building, outside the building, on the field, you name it. Nick always did the right thing on and off the field.
Nick Chubb was/is a throwback to when I was a kid watching Jim Brown, and then Leroy Kelly. He'd do something jaw-dropping on the field, hand the ball to the official in the end zone, and trot towards the sideline. No gyrations. No signature dance. No pointing to his name on the back of his jersey. Just a plain ol' class act!
I'm going to be out of town this weekend so I'll just post this bad boy now.
Well, hopefully you're not coming out my way. We'll be having another Nor Easter this weekend.
Go Browns!
Is it unreasonable that l want to see Chubb’s number retired?
Yeah, that's not done so much anymore.
I saw that earlier today. Heck, the way our running game's been going, I'd sign him and play him.
So there.?
Take THAT why don't ya.
