Theres also a lot people ok with the way Higs has been treated by the team in favor of a guy we just waived, but then have an issue at how players act. I dont hear any of those guys arguing that the team or John Dorsey has acted poorly. Hmmmmm
This may have been Dorsey’s way to force FK to play Higgy more ... release Callaway and focus on the reliable one
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Uggh, that would be like Hugh Jackson all over again. Having to trade Hyde just to get Chubb on the field.
exactly

A part of me thinks that Dorsey is making his coach play the players on the team that Dorsey wants him to play and he gets rid of others that he doesn't want Kitchens to play.

I've heard a lot of this ^^^ lately.....control was a big reason why Freddie was hired to begin with.
I haven't seen anything yet to convince me otherwise the way these past two season have gone down. Perhaps it has something to do with how he was fired in KC and losing that same control to Any Reid? Doesn't want it to happen again?
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
Devil’s advocate... Maybe Higs sat as we knew what we had in him. For good, and bad. Maybe Calloway got some playing time at Higs’ expense to see if he responded and played well. He didn’t... and he became problematic in other ways. He was cut fully knowing what we had as both a player and a person. Maybe if Calloway had performed better he’d still be in the team, post suspension. As it is, no need. Higs gets back on the field. Experiment over.
Just trying to rationalize what we’ve seen this year. Again, just playing devils advocate. Thinking out loud. Make sense if it.
Do you understand the meaning of a question mark? It appears you think that indicates a statement. Here's a hint. It doesn't.
Don't back out now. Just because you put a question mark at the end of it doesn't hide the fact that you were trying to fraudulently portray the premise of your "question" as a premise he asserted.
I'm defending PitDawg.
That was definitely a question mark.
In fact any time you read a questionable statement, chances are it came out of PitDawg's mouth!
I saw Higgins in the game last night when OBJ went out. I think the two backs and TEs were played heavy last night, but Hodge making the field over Higgins surprised me.
I'm beginning to wonder if Kitchens is some kind of pretty tyrant with the non-star players. Sure seems like Higgins is in the dog house since he is easily the third best WR on the team.
Rashard Higgins wasn't targeted in the Browns' Week 11 win over the Steelers.
Although he's now the Browns' unquestioned No. 3 receiver following the release of Antonio Callaway, Higgins was on the field for just 28-of-70 snaps. The Browns were featuring lots of two-tight end sets. Higgins got upstaged by No. 4 wideout KhaDarel Hodge, who caught a 41-yard pass. It just isn't happening for Higgins this year, who can't even be trusted as a WR5 in PPR leagues.
I thought I caught his number once (not sure) when they pulled OBjr. Don't think that he did a thing, and then Hodge? FK is messing around. Obvious we didn't run the middle enough on first down so we could be behind the chains. Predictable.
It was a win. By the time I was home, the media was all over Myles.
Big win, neh?

Surprising he wasn’t even targeted ... though I do admit that Hodge had a nice impact on the game

Another great personal jab on a football board. No wonder all the best posters have left this place. All we're left with is........ The evidence of what this place has evolved to speaks for itself.
I sure wish Browns Chat had never closed down. At least the riff raff was elsewhere.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Seeing us force feed the ball to OBJ when he is clearly not on the same page as Baker is driving me crazy. Freddy needs to design plays that will start spreading the ball around a little more.
Fred's afraid to get on OBJs bad side. OBJ needs to be told,"You're paid well to play ball. Do it." Baker admitted he was kinda holding back and I think the HC is too.

You have no idea what is said behind closed doors.
I can't think of too many successful head coaches who read out the riot act on their players in public.

OBJ is a big problem with this offense ... he’s not running routes that are expected IMO and/or they’re lazy. And we feel responsible to get him the ball. Our best game was when he was a decoy basically
