Happy birthday bro- will never forget this one!

Pluto says the two players are Bitonio and Hodge. https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2021/01/no-keven-stefanski-browns-fans-are-probably-scremaing-thats-not-fair-terry-pluto.html

Can't agree with you more. How many of us marked up this game as a guaranteed L as soon as the schedule was released? We've been growing all season... building capital from our wins, learning from our losses. I am feeling great.

I’d add Jacob Phillips to that list. Seems like he’s been dinged up most of the season, but when #50 is on the field he’s always around the ball.

Is Judon on the Covid list?

Excellent OP Bob. Either way, with their starters on the bench or on the field, the Steelers are not going to expose anything new to us or the rest of the league in the last week.

#9 is an interesting historical tidbit.

If it was anyone we could have afforded to lose, it was Hubbard. Phew. https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2020/11/browns-place-chris-hubbard-on-covid-19-reserve-list-no-other-players-on-list-and-facility-opened-for-3-pm-practice.html

Don't disagree with you. I like how Pluto summed it up: "Mayfield looked free and easy because he was simply throwing to the open receiver – no matter who was on the receiving end of his passes. I believe Mayfield often has fixated on throwing to OBJ, or at least looking to OBJ first. The Browns and Mayfield will deny this. Stats show OBJ is receiving the fewest targets of his career in 2020. But my eyes tell me when Mayfield drops back to pass with his main options being Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, the tight ends and running backs – he’s back to 2018. He’s simply playing the game. See an open guy, deliver the pass. Don’t worry about the name on the jersey."

PPF gave him a 39.9 on 17 plays. Surprised me. In the one four and out I was aware of him, about halfway through the third quarter, he put pressure on Dak, made a nice tackle, broke up a pass... was all over the field. Tour, what was your take on #50? I was excited by the flashes I saw.

Hope we’re storing the jet sweep somewhere. He was wiiiiiide open down the right side. Even the announcers commented on it. BTW, I loved Spielman’s enthusiasm yesterday. “CUT BACK!!!!... did I say that out loud” on Chubbs TD run was a highlight for me.

Nice write up. Appreciate the hard work you put into this. Was excited by the line last week. Nice having a fullback! Look forward to seeing where we go from here.

Been trying to key in on Wills. He’s looking pretty stout.

I wonder what the ‘49ers would give us for OBJ. Would solve big issues for both squads.
