DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2020 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 41 Titans 35 Injury Report

Is Quincy Morgan available? He was a joy to watch!!!

Smith is a big part of their attack. Plus, TE’s aren’t easy for us to cover.

We've done a fairly good job of covering TEs starting with the LV game. It's been a nice change.

Ja'marcus Bradley's speed wins out over Willies height I guess.

Maybe he can return punts.

At least we don't have to worry about Taywan Taylor dropping passes.

By chance, whatever happened to Ryan Switzer? I always thought he could help on special teams, I know he got injured...but never heard the extent

Not sure why so many are so high on DPJ. maybe I'm wrong, but to me he looks very SLOW

i do think his blocking has been good for our offense

Around these parts, Q had the nickname of "Captain Clang"....

I thought it was Stone Hands?

He did, however, keep playing “Quincy Morgan football”.

That was the accepted term at DT.

I was talking about local Browns fans here in my town.

I haven't noticed him enough to have an opinion one way or the other on his speed.

It's hard to tell what he's got without more opportunities.

He made the most of the one he got in the end zone. It has been a while, though.

Quincy Morgan, in his entire Browns career, caught barely any balls in a clean manner. It was incredible.

He's actually very fast. He's a long strider like Josh Gordon. Watch him on any play where he's in the open, he runs past people. The problem is he's not "quick" or "dynamic" which is why he shouldn't be doing kick returns.

I guess maybe they were thinking he could be a Josh Cribbs type and just be fast and big and run north/south, but so far not working out.

I was going to say the same thing. He is a very smooth runner.

Is he their starting RT?

Yes. He was already out due to injury though. But not great that their first round pick is getting suspended.

Whoopty hell - played 3 snaps all year.

He ran a 4.48 at the combine. He’s got good speed, but as others say he’s not sudden.

Whoopty hell is right.

This is a game the Browns can and really should win.

Here is the key Tackling from both sides the team that tackles the best will win, it's that simple.

The key to tackling Henry/Chubb/Hunt is go low. Henry/Chubb and Hunt all have the best stiff arms in the league unless your coming from the ball arm side they will swat you away like a fly if you go high.

The Browns need to play from the outside in and tackle low. The Titan receivers are all good blockers and Mitchel actually concerns me the most of our D backs, he is a high tackler, so is Taki although he doesn't really have the frame for it. If I was the coach and I was going to give my guys the key to getting Henry on the ground, go low.

Again the team that tackles the best wins. The Titans have a very average defense and we will be able to move the ball on them, that I am sure of.

Mack Wilson Cleared, Denzel Ward, KhaDarel Hodge Day to Day

BEREA -- The Cleveland Browns received some good news coming out of Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans on the injury front. Linebacker Mack Wilson left the game with a possible concussion, but Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said that Wilson will not have to miss time due to a concussion.

"Mack Wilson does not have a concussion," Stefanski said. "He was cleared."

With a very big AFC North game with AFC North rival the Baltimore Ravens, the Browns are hoping to get some of their other players back, including cornerback Denzel Ward and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge. Ward has missed the past two weeks with a calf injury, while Hodge missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury.

"KhaDarel Hodge with the hamstring, Denzel with the calf, we'll see this goes this week," Stefanski said. "It's really day-to-day with them (both). and don't have an update on them."

With the extra day off, the Browns are hoping both players could play in the key game.



The final player on the reserve/COVID-19 list is also on pace to return for next week's game.

"Porter Gustin is making good progress and could have him back this week," Stefanski said.

Wide receiver Taywan Taylor has already been ruled out with a neck injury for next Monday's game with the Ravens.

"Taywan Taylor will be out this week and we're gathering more information," Stefanski said.

Taylor could be a candidate for injured reserve.

Extra Points

Browns Will Use Extra Day for Practice: The Browns will take their normal day off on Tuesday, but will practice on Wednesday, despite not playing until next Monday night. Stefanski said they will use Wednesday as an extra day of preparation and will practice Thursday as if they had a normal Sunday game.

That doesn't sound good at all for Taylor if he is already (still) out for a neck injury. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Good news for Mack Wilson

I'd almost rather NOT have Khaderal Hodge back.
Can he be a healthy scratch? The Guy has not any previous time, ( I hat to use the word never)

I mean Hodge is the Andrew Sendejo of the Offense, could he make a pla--

Ok, Ok, sometime he makes "A" play, but it's never a special one.

Having Hodge back, it's like it's like,
(oh this is going to get me in trouble, )

Having Hodge back in the WR lineup makes me feel similar to

Setting up the Christmas tree and then having somebody stand in front of the Christmas tree so you can't get a look at it's beauty.

Get out of the way.

Lead! do something of note

Follow!, healthy scratch so someone else on the field "might" do something of note,

or Get out of the Way! Just Cut Khaderal Hodge, I really don't like his game play.

Khaderal Hodge's game play is like a Stopped Car on the freeway, In the Middle Lanes! Do Something, or

( Maybe I've been blind!)

Hodge is our best Gunner on ST's.

Even if you don't like him as a receiver, he makes us better in basic depth.

Think about it, Taywan Taylor, Khaderal Hodge, and JoJo Natson?

You can't Stumble into a list that bad! To put around a good Quarterback?

It would be like getting a Michael Jordan and surround him with 3 guys who LAY BRICKS all day,

and then giving the Brick layers 100% playing time! ( A brick is when a missed basketball shot bounces off the rim with a clang)

These may be a list of some of the worst possible Wr's of the Browns since 2000 and that includes years where the free agent appeared to disappear for 7 full games,
and years where the guy broke himself attempting to ride a motorcycle, or had a dui crash with a fatality on a bridge,

and Taylor Gabriel, Taylor Gabriel the most famous reindeer, is most known for any drive where he makes a notable catch,

Any drive, in history, where Gabriel makes a notable catch, ends in NO POINTS, it's UNCANNY, it must be like 70% plus of all drives Gabriel has a catch in.

Yet they've found 3 players, Clones of terribleness

Taywan, Khaderal, and Jojo, who ..

I'd rather have Darren Chiaverini,

A remake of Darren Chiaverini, give me players who

Give me players who with NO TALENT, actually do something, than,
Brick Layers.

Actually, I'm not being fair to Natson, 50/50 he's been injured too often to discount his game yet.

(Hodge is reported back as healthy)

I'm really upset, at the possibility they will put Hodge back out there.

Let me ask a Question,

Has Hodge been on the field for every one of Baker Mayfields' bad performance games over the last 2 seasons?

and, is there maybe a correlation.

If you want to talk special teams, How about they fix the 25 yard penalty on EVERY kick return.

and #37 Bennie Thompson is still a special teams gunner I can remember.

Hodge, isn't doing anything special making tackles on punts or kickoffs, or other special teams plays.

Every now and then, Hodge gets you the pedest--, ok, it's a hard fought, tough in the middle first down grab,

But, What the heck is Landry for, what the heck is Higgins for, isn't this their forte, what the heck do you have 4 tight ends who do the same thing,
not to mention this is one of Hunt's receiving skills,

Hodge at Wr, is like giving a Rb, of the Terrence West type,
carries up the middle, in games with Chubb and Hunt healthy

Can Hodge stretch the field, ever.
Can Taywan.

DPJ proved he can and I believe Hodge can also ...

Moot point, he's not going anywhere.

Why do Browns fans bag on Hodge? Explain this to me please. He has played excellent football and is a true team player. Injury prone? Maybe, but this is what I was hoping I wouldn't find too much of on this board. Hodge is a great story for the Browns this year. For those who think for some reason he is slow, he got into the 4.3s depending what test you look at. Just because you never heard of the dude doesn't mean he sucks, and his play is proving that. He stretches the field, blocks, catches everything and is a team baller. Screw that guy I guess....

It was one person with 5-6 consecutive posts.

That said, Hodge was an unknown that was inexplicably getting playing time over Higgins to start the year (Higgins wasn't even suiting up, I believe). Finally, injuries allowed Higgins to get back on the field and Mayfield and him picked up where they left off. The fact Hodge was out there instead of Higgins had people... um... scratching their heads, we'll call it.

Hodge was ahead of Higgins because he can take the top off of defenses, freeing up room for OBJ and Landry. I personally like Higgins better but I understand the coaches reasoning.

I feel ya on the Hollywood part. Hodge beat Higgins out though, plain and simple. I believe in competition and coaches that are about competition. There's been a couple of articles on this, but Hodge won the job because he was better at what they needed at the time when OBJ was healthy. But, not only did he play that role, he showed enough to look like the real deal. This is one of those dudes that switched positions, he has a ton of potential, but the best part seems to be he can catch. There has been a few WRs come through here that our fans, for the most part, thought sucked (*Not responsible for future drops).

IMO, that should be number one on list of Browns WRs best traits. "Yeah, uh, catching the ball could be cool."

Too tired to do the list of some of our best "hands guys" ala Doc Q, Tim "Got More Drops Than Pills" Carter, Willis Adams.....Give me WRs that catch. And they all drop some, I want the guys that make the tough catches.

One thing about Baker, he does put a lot of pressure on his pass catchers right now the way he is humming it and humming it high at times, so if you catch his ropes you gotta be able to catch above a level of Rockardo Louis, which is similar to my neighbor Mortie growing up.

Just kidding, but I think in some ways Baker's humming of the ball helps keep the WRs focused. Or, I could be totally full of crap on that.

We got Landry, and after showing the world that you can't stack the box like Nashville, that is a huge problem for D-Coords going forward.

I am new to posting on the board, I used to mostly just read. If I say something like that, it isn't just about this board or the last few posts. I am not huge on generalizations, but it is what it is. Lots of Browns fan chit all over Hodge.

I could give some psych opines on this fanbase but I'm not totally convinced I am correct about everything--or anything myself.

I just think we have a lot of fans that are pissed and bitter from over the years. I think what it cost the most was our own fans' passion and knowledge for the game. So many got mad and said screw it, which means not really following the rest of the league much. That right there shows how fans lose perspective when it comes to watching your football players compared to the rest of them.

Pitt just lost!

I want everyone to succeed. Play the best player and trust the coaches. They see things that we do not.

I like Higgins as well. He has made himself into a viable NFL receiver. He did not start that way.
