calfoxwc Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 not much Browns news - but let's look at some super secret weapons that will make a huge difference in the Browns now - collectively - it means serious football wins for the Browns. First off, one the most secret and admirable, er...and amazing secret weapons is... the Scottish Hammer. Here's a video about his workouts: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted July 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 he is really getting noticed - not as much a secret weapon now, I guess. Raider article had him #4 of the top five kickers they will face. Four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Much ado about a punter. But I WILL say this, after he kicks the ball, you've gotta BLOCK him. He puts a new spin on the saying, "He's only got the punter to beat." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I liked Colquitt, but once I saw this guy I was fearful we were going to let him go. Give it another season or two and the Hammer will be a pro bowl guy for many years. Great kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 My friend the former NFL player likes to tease his old roommate, punter Steve O'Neal (who owns the longest net punt record of 98 yds.), because when they are out together Tommy often gets recognized since he has a Superbowl ring on. He introduces Steve as a former punter and makes it clear he really wasn't a "former player".😂 Steve often says he developed the art of appearing to cover his own punts, but never really making any contact with anyone. As a former SWC 200m high hurdler, he was able to do that quite well.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get moving on with finding a body that can hold & punt..32 teams & 38 punters have a contract in the NFL..Waiviers? Falcons-Matt Bosher.. KC-Dustin Colquitt👀.. Jets-Lac Edwards... are your top 3 freebies with good average punt distance.. It's time for Gillan's agent, to deal with the nfl testing procedures..

calfoxwc Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 The NFL season starts Sept 10, on a Thurs. , so let's hope Jamie is past it and we're good, hopefully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted August 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 another secret weapon - Higgins. No, not kidding - a ton of attention will be paid to Landry and Beckham..... and HIggins CATCHES the ball when it is his turn. A lot of the problems last year have been fixed - by replacing the goofy head coach with the Real Deal HC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted August 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 another secret weapon - might not see a lot of playing time...DREW STANTON. As a mentor to Baker - it's a terrific fit - https://dawgpounddaily.com/2019/08/20/daily-dawg-tags-drew-stanton-cleveland-browns-secret-weapon/ “Drew is a really smart guy,’’ said Ratley. “I don’t think you understand how smart Drew really is. Drew will tell you something that’s going to work and that thing works. So Bake literally learns from him, so you’ve got to think of it in that kind of way, like Bake’s going to be dangerous.’’ Mayfield has quickly shown he has the arm talent to pick apart NFL defenses. The next step for him in his career is to quickly diagnose a defense and their coverages. With the help of Stanton, Mayfield could develop that trait quicker than usual, making him an even better and dangerous quarterback in 2019 and beyon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Is Cal all right?^^ Is this just Fantasy? ^^ is Cal caught in a Landslide?^^ or escaping from reality?

Hopefully Stanton made a lasting impression. Wanna sign him as assistant QB quality coach? I forgot, dammit. lol make that - Case Keenum is the secret weapon, for the same reasons - he was IN Washington - knows the offense, will help Baker immensely, and can step in and run the offense if Baker gets banged up or gets the flu or ...something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 How quickly you all forget the legend of Tom Tupa, who scored the first 2-point conversion in NFL history.. for Cleveland. He was our punter and QB3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our punter and QB3. I always watched the career of Tom Tupa the Cleveland kid that played a long time just punting and as a backup QB and of course his 3 two point conversions while at Cleveland. He even made the pro bowl once as a punter and a former Ohio State Buckeye ! Oh yeah ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am going to attach "the new guy" to the above post^^... Just image the story-line for a moment 🤔. We traded Austin Corbett to the Team that took a chance on this college walk-on like myself as a UDFA.. He had no Combine. Nor Pro day, due to a shoulder injury at the time of events. I still think he will out preform Austin Corbett as a Cleveland Brown? and Somehow, Cam Erving can still find work.. Callahan may use the Practice Squad root? But i don't care and I'm a big fan of the UnderDawgs! https://testudotimes.com/maryland-terps-football/2017/4/25/15417286/football-nfl-draft-profile-ot-michael-dunn-day-3 Put the Camp Pads on & go Play big fella!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does a punter win games? There is a strong correlation between field position and expected added points. Punters may not "win" games themselves, but the contribution adds up over time when you flip field position. Old say goes - "game of inches". My secret weapon was Billings, but now he's opted out =( Next on that list for me would be Elliot and god knows whatever bigs that want to get nasty on the interior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, to a degree every inch matters, unless you're the Chiefs and can erase a 28 point deficit and win by 21 going away. Then, yea, a QB can erase a punter's production. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of coaches college and pro know the value of the "hidden yard game" one was Jim Tressel both at YSU and OSU he won national championships at both. When you think about the GOAT NFL punters the names just pop up in your mind. They like GOAT FG kickers are worth every penny of being the least paid but most dependable players on the team. Something like long snappers, special teams guys, assistant coaches and others who just do their jobs.....everytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
