We know what we have Sendejo. Ronnie Harrison was acquired and then brought up to speed at a snails pace and now injured. Joseph acquired as a physical tackler type in the back end hurts his hammy in practice. His play has been okay. Delpit out before he started. Redwine. Played well in a handful of snaps last week. But it’s clear long term play is in question given the competition he couldn’t beat out here. We have people crying for Moffett but he’s had no meaningful reps in position that requires communication. Same with Benton. It is what it is this year. House cleaning next season for sure. Can’t really count on Delpit fully recovering next season either. what do we do now? Get to QB and make the safeties job a lot easier. Hopefully our corners play at an elite level (stay healthy too please) you can’t expect this safety group to make up for poor corner play. The defense was bad last year too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the current Great Expectations what is better is the record, at least the 4-1 start coupled with the pretty favorable ending schedule. An incredible 5-1 start would have brown and orange colored sunglass wearing BROWNS fans trying to figure out how to get some BROWNS playoff tickets for sure ! GO BROWNS, just win one more for the Gipper or anyone and we'd be so blissfully happy, at least for a few more weeks.......baby ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOO-CHOO BITCH! Lol. We haven't beaten them at Pittsburgh since that fateful Sunday night back in 2003 when my friend and I scraped up our money and flew up there to see Tim Couch destroy those guys! Maybe it's time. 🤞 Atta Boy, Jigs !! Dad & I, was on the 22 yard line at that game..As long as we just play a attacking game style I'm cool with the results.. Let MJ Stew attack Ben like the Washington game.. It's time for Clayborn's attacking game to show up too!! Vernon must eat up the running plays..Garrett can't wait & show up late to the party either. If we play our game type of 'Hit everything that moves on Offense & Defense' we should hang in this game.. If We play Loosie Goosie, flag touch football? like that Ravens game.. Well,,, We will lose again.. Here's a mind blowing BB fact, I've tracked since signing up ...When We win? We'll see 3-4 pages of members/guests on this board post game..When we lose? It grows to 5-6 pages post game... Here's a game that usually draws out the most in here a season... Kickoff is just about 4 hours away... really thinking we will play well & sure were banged up.. If we don't? I'm in the Flugel's boat...We really have no reason to start a pissing parade post game... Go Browns!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also incredibly stout against the run. All i know is if the Browns plan to block either with tight ends they are going to be in for a rude awakening and that seems to happen a lot with you all. Listed as 269# on Steeler site... We were talking about Wills on him in run-game. Earlier talked about using TE to chip him in PassPro, but I'm sure a TE will be assigned to cut off his pursuit in ZBS away from him.

As long as he is motivated to do NFL-grade rehab we should see him at full speed in Preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Dak with his injury anticipates coming back stronger, sports medicine inc. is just that good now. Even MLB guys with TJ injuries come back looking ripped...... many look like NFL guys before an injury. Professional trainers, good diets, these days guys are serious......and very well "incentivised" to be in shape. I saw Mickey Mantle say once on camera that when they set the bat down after the season they basically did nothing until spring training...... because that's what it was for. (no kidding) Just think about guys like Gayle Sayers, Joe Namath with today's training -and- don't hit players hard rules. Or just look at TB12, Brees, Rivers, Rothlisberger later today. It's not magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a significant difference I've seen between this year and last is Kitchens gave some tall orders to the TEs in pass blocking whereas Stefanski does not. Last year it wasn't uncommon to see a TE square up one on one with the other team's edge rusher. This year I see a lot more chip and release type stuff. Better tackle play helps of course. I'm not sure we've seen a game this year against a team that really really likes to blitz. Stefanski has shown he can roll with punches though so I imagine he's prepared. It's so strange having a sense of confidence in a coaching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well one year deals may be back...the NFL lost some dough in this COVID mess and the cap may go down so there may be some cuts and guys thinking they will get paid that might “punt” for one year and try free agency the following. Let’s hope on the Achilles injury. I think he will be healthy but getting back to where you were physically prior to that type of injury takes some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing up my cleaning chores and trimming up some killer New York strip steaks I got from Costco. Having my parents over for the game and life is good! Do I feel great about the game? No, no I don't. But I'm oddly serene about the possibility of losing. When you win 4 in ba row, you don't dread a loss as much. You can actually embrace the mantra that "it's a long season" and you can understand that you're not going to win them all. That being said, this game is worth WAY more than just 1 win or 1 loss. I don't remember the last game I wanted to win more this one, but it's going to take a herculean effort to win, make no mistake. Here's the stat that should bother people. Pittsburgh gets QB pressure on over 55% of passing plays which is 10% higher than the next team. Yikes. And I freaking HATE seeing Joe Haden on the Steelers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing it's only water I gotta clean up. As much as I contemplated calling 9-1-1 for Jiggs, he's not the 1 I'm worried about. See if you can remember who on this board decided he'd seen enough of Nick Chubb after his very 1st 2 preseason handoffs as an NFL rookie? I'll give you a hint - you haven't agreed with him yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I said one before a couple of weeks ago, sooner or later it's going to come down to Baker making all the right reads and making all the right throws, this was the game. I know he's hurt, but he flat out stunk. The first pick you just don't make whether your hurt or not. This was a terrible outing by the Browns. Granted almost every single important player is banged up you still have to put in a better effort than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlin always says "The standard is the Standard" The steelers aren't fully healthy either and I routinely catch shit for mentioning injuries. You have to persevere, the good teams do. All i know is there are a few people that need to eat some crow. I've got a special sandwich for Tour on the Texans and the Eagles despite maybe the worst two point conversion call i've ever seen with the game on the line by the eagles.
