DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2017 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 14 Jets 17 Injuries

It looks like Myles Garrett is going to play (unless he gets hurt between now and Sunday, (which shouldn't be ruled out)). That should be fun.

No skin off anyone's back if britt doesn't play.

... and Thomas?

No argument here ...

MG is probably why I even tune this game on. Can't wait to see him (hopefully.)

I really would like to see our defense at full strength.

I would too. Give us a look at our full defense

Ah, Britt now taking a page from the Dwayne Bowe, "How to collect a big payday and not Play" book....priceless!

Sucks to hear about Leslie....damn.

we were not at our full defence? that makes sense now...

we must not of been at our full offense or special teams...

j/c:

Danny Shelton is back practicing again. I'd love to get a glimpse at a healthy starting D-line.

give us Shelton, Collins, Garrett back ... and see if we're any better.

Sadly, the S spots are the problem IMO

This is the only reason I'm watching this weekend. If we lose this game I MIGHT listen on the radio while doing something else for the rest of the season. I'm already in free agency/draft mode.

Man, Collins still? How long is the concussion protocol??

Collins is still in the concussion protocol, so he didn't practice today. That likely means he is out for the game.

I don't

I think Kindred has been good. We need a cover safety and corner back. I'm hoping Peppers may eventually become that guy but given the multiple positions he played at college, it will take time and we need patience.

I agree. Kindred has been good to very good this season. Peppers has been burned like toast far too often, whether because of playing too deep (scheme) or lack of skill/awareness, or just not knowing the defense.

And that's the problem. We have SS's but no FS. Trotting Peppers out there like he's actually a FS is a joke.

No idea why the I don't appeared above my quoted post, silly phone

I agree - Peppers does look a little lost but I'm sticking to a 4 year timeline because if I go week to week I'll just get depressed. We have some young talent on the roster in some areas. We still need more, lots more.

Win will cure what ails you. For 7 days.

He can't seem to make sense of this D, especially playing on the lip of the horizon. Not been a factor for us.

Liked Leslie too!

Did we just tell Britt, "Hi! You are hurt!" until we say otherwise. Whoever made that choice should be scrapped IMO. Like Farmer never left. . . .

I'm much more interested in seeing what Peppers looks like in Week 13 than Week 3; and I'll follow that up with being even more interested in seeing what he looks like come Week 3 of 2018.

Like so many other things on this team, it isn't/wasn't about the 2017-18 season.

Myles Garrett - DL - Browns

Browns coach Hue Jackson expects first-round DE Myles Garrett (ankle) to be on a "pitch count" in his debut against the Jets in Week 5.

"I think we have to be smart about our expectations of him," said Jackson. Garrett will finally see the field this week after sitting out the first four games with a high-ankle sprain, but it sounds like the Browns are going to exercise some caution by limiting his early workload. Cleveland's defense is getting healthier with Garrett and Danny Shelton (calf) both due back this week.

What's up with Collins? Is he going to miss the rest of the season now in concussion protocol? It's beginning to be questionable after making all that cash.

Hue Jackson: Jamie Collins out of concussion protocol but is doubtful for Sunday. WR Kenny Britt also doubtful for Sunday.

Britt seems to have mailed it in ... problem is, we wanted him to do it before week 1

The problem is that, even though he is terrible, Britt is probably our best wide receiver.

Jamie Collins - LB - Browns

Browns LB Jamie Collins (concussion) is doubtful for Week 5 against the Jets.
Collins has been cleared for some activity but remains in the league's concussion protocol and won't be active on Sunday. This will be his third straight absence.

Britt and his 2 drops a game and 75 % effort won't be missed at all.

Only because Duke is a runnningback!

the aggravating thing to add: all offseason Louis got HEAPS of praise ... and IMO he's no better

I think we should start spreading Devalve and / or Njoku out wide paired with Johnson. Higgins / Williams / Coates - whoever - in the mix also.

Johnson is the only legit playmaker we have at present. He needs 20 touches either running or catching. He's electric.

Here's hoping we see why MG was taken #1. I'm hoping that his mere presence means we can get so much more pressure with just 4.

Is Coates ever going to play? He was pretty good in Pitt, I think he will help a lot.

Kasen Williams too, where are they?

Williams has played a bit IIRC. He has a few grabs. He looks VERY slow IMO.

Just saw Watt is out for the season. IMO, he was once someone who couldn't be contained or controlled but now it seems like he's always, literally always hurt.

Sucks, but is his best playing days behind him already? I mean, it's a legit question.

Wasn't it last season he only played 3 games due to a back injury?

It does beg the question of "can constantly working out, building muscle, etc create an injury issue in and of itself?"

Are players stressing their bodies excessively, thus leading to injuries?

I know, watt had a broken tibial plateau........I don't know what that is. Broken bones can happen, agreed.

Bodies weren't designed to be as big as they currently are in the nfl (d lineman, O lineman, etc)

Just a thought.

Looks like sitting out and trying to heal led to more knee problems for Sam Bradford. I mean... is he going to be able to walk at age 35?

I think it might be time to consider retirement, for the sake of his life outside of football. Those knees are shot.
