Icecube Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Not bad, they can use an extra 3rd. Maybe grab a S with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Very glad to see this result, but as some of us stated months ago, trading Duke so early on may have damaged our season. The addition of Hunt clearly unlocked our offense to some degree, and I'm assuming his role was somewhat similar to Duke's. While I feel Hunt is the more talented player, Duke has a similar repertoire and would have no doubt enabled us to extend more drives and possibly win another game or two. We gambled on Hilliard and it didn't work. I see WHY we did it, but I'm not sure it panned out. I think we just activated Njoku, so possibly he'll help us put up some points with Hunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Duke brought it upon himself - didn't want to be a wr, or even only a third down back...didn't want to lose carries because of Hunt...he decided he wanted out, so... it's too bad. Chubb-Hunt-Duke would have been able to make NFL history maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Good news is that the Texans are slowly moving up the draft board so that 3rd rounder keeps getting more valuable if they just keep the losing streak going. Blown out by the Ravens yesterday. EDIT: Schedule is now Colts, NE, Denver, @ Tenn, @ TB, Tenn So 4 home games. Only easy games may be @TB and Denver (home). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Basically we replaced Duke with Hunt and a 3rd round pick..... Hunt is already a major upgrade over Duke and if we can hit on the future player too, then this will be quite the roster upgrade. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Seems like a fine pick for an excellent OG/RT...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 A 3rd is nice... I don't think we've missed Duke one bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't think we missed him one bit? Man, that's strange to me, but I respect your opinion. It's funny, even though we haven't had Hunt that much, he's still a guy Baker looks to on 3rd down. Hunt has already had multiple KEY 3rd down receptions, including one against Buffalo that helped us take the lead and win the game. He had another giant conversion on the first drive against the Steelers where he went up and made a leaping catch over the defender. To me, a receiving back is just what the doctor ordered for Mayfield. It's no secret that Mayfield is struggling getting the ball to our WR's, especially in the end zone. What helps a young QB? Running the ball and RB's that can take a short pass and get some extra yardage. I'm very intrigued to see how our two and possibly three back sets evolve as we finish out the year. I sincerely hope that Hunt is a changed man and we somehow find a way to keep him around. I've heard from Browns reporters that keeping Hunt is absolutely a priority, so I guess we'll have to see. It's definitely nice to see us getting the 3rd round pick, and it's almost hard to fathom that we got that much for him because the position is so undervalued these days. Our 3rd rounder last year obviously hasn't panned out yet, but good ole Chad Thomas will get yet another chance this weekend to prove he's not a bust and hopefully will string together a solid game. So far, Chad Thomas has been absolutely AWFUL, and please don't tell me that he's gotten a couple of sacks this year because his overall rating is abysmal. He's bad rushing the passer and somehow worse against the run (his calling card btw). Let's hope we find better talent with THIS 3rd rounder!

We definitely missed him in certain situations. He was far more valuable than Hilliard. With Hunt there now, some of that has been alleviated, but, no, for the first 8 games, we could have used Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
