Looks like D'Ernest is our one healthy back (unless they have 2 negative tests between now and Saturday). I don't know who is on our practice squad any more, but a few FAs that might be interesting for a 1 or two week rental:
Todd Gurley
T.J. Yeldon
Frank Gore (maybe bad idea, he's training for a fight and he's 38)
Kerryon Johnson

Sadly Derrick Henry was just hurt and the Titans had first dibs on available RB's leaving us the leftovers to choose from if need be.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

How about Todd Gurley? (though I expect us to go after a back we like from someone else's PS)

We should be fine with D’Ernest for one week. I’m sure we can get Stanton the ball out of the backfield and even Landry. The problem is if Johnson pops up a positive test in the next few days. I am sure Andrew Berry has a list of names that can be plugged in and we’ll see one of those guys signed tomorrow.

Just about 7 days ago, I was listening, to, some team had 2 DL with covid, one was positive one was a contact, it, I think it was Cincy or else patriots, maybe Pittsburgh, either way, I thought, to myself, hmm, I hope our Rb's don't get it if their dumb team has 2 DL with it and the Browns were about to play them. Maybe it was Pittsburgh.
Ain't it funny how the NFL orchestrated that an East Coast team, (this time the pats, earlier this year the Jets vs the titans, late last year the Jets, vs. the Browns.)
How an east coast team wont have to face a team at full strength in one area of the team, and a strength of that team.
Either way, The Browns are done for 2021. and the NFL is done for 2021.
If the Orchestrated outcomes, and False penalties that change games outcomes haven't proven that the entire NFL
should not even be broadcast on any media,
then I don't know what could.
It's worse than Pete Rose and gambling.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

the Browns barely stood a chance to compete with the Patriots WITH Nick Chubb playing,
Now it will be a blow out win for the Pats for sure.
The NFL Got what it wanted, they can post the narrative that the patriots are back and of course.
KNow this for sure.
The Loser of the Pats, Browns game will not be a playoff team.

Mack Wilson can Carry the Ball on Tackle Eligible plays. I think it would go well.
The same goes for Taki Taki.
They are built for the size, speed and mobility of a running back.
Wondering Where Tre Harbison ended up, I think, IIRC, Tre Harbison Rb would not be eligible for the Browns because, he went on IR before the cut down day.
I can't remember if Harbison, went on IR or was picked up by another team when injured.
One hit, on concussion,
and his whole trajectory which John Kelly has, could have been Harbison.
And if 'ifs' were fifths we could all get drunk.

Chubb could be back before the game this weekend... but I think we'll survive with Johnson. He desperately wants the chance to show out again, we should let him.

It has to be two negative tests within. 24 hours correct? But does it not take 10 days for a negative tests to show up after your first positive?

Another aggravating thing about this is not only are we going to have to get a RB ready who has never played in our system, johnson is going to have to stay in on alot of third downs to pass block, increasing his chance of being injured. The Patriots not having to deal with chub, I would suspect ,will be run blitzing or pass blitzing on first and second down all game to try to force us into 3rd and longs and make us one dimensional. The Patriots on the other hand are not that good at running the ball so I would suspect we will be doing the same.

Too bad Hunt isnt ready to return. Johnson and Hill will have to make due (I expect Landry to fill into it some creatively too)
"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."

guys its fine if chubb doesnt play.
D'ernest is about to run through the defense as well. and the patriots defense doesnt have the backfield to cover our guys.
its gonna be a close game, but i bet we still go over 120 yards rushing as a team.

Not for nothing,, but the Pats are not the broncos. They have a pretty darn good D. Johnson won't shred them as easily.
My hope is Chubb will be back,, Chubb and Johnson make a good pair.

Damn. . It's still spreading.....offensive line now.....uhhg....all we need is to lose starting offensive linemen. Fingers crossed no more positive tests. However if one of our linemen has it I expect more

His salary actually reduces by $1.2M next season. An extension for Tretter will not surprise me.

One thing I worry about with Johnson: he isn’t great catching it out of the backfield. It seems very unnatural to him … and without Felton that eliminates a big time threat using the RBs and screen game

The guy we signed, Brian Hill, is a pretty decent catcher of the football. The problem, obviously, is that he is unfamiliar with the offense so putting him for pass protection, knowing when to get out into the pattern, or running a screen pass, which takes a good deal of precise timing, might be in question... but he can catch the football.

If they are vaccinated I believe it is infrequent. Unvaccinated everyday. If the team is in the “enhanced protocol” then everyone is tested everyday.

If that’s how they found out Chubb was positive, then that would likely mean he was asymptomatic. Maybe with therapeutics, we have a chance at getting him on Sunday.

Is it just me, or is Nick Harris really having a tough time staying available? Nope, but it doesn't matter much. The guy is a wasted pick IMO. He isn't going to answer any bells even if available. Drafting or signing a center should be a high priority this next off-season since it is doubtful that Treeter remains on the team. It's highly likely Tretter will be on the team next year. His salary actually reduces by $1.2M next season. An extension for Tretter will not surprise me. Maybe. We'll see. I just think the guy is slowing down a bit, and even if his salary drops, I think we will still be looking to bring the OL cap number down considering we just handed out a tidy sum to both of the guards.

One thing I worry about with Johnson: he isn’t great catching it out of the backfield. It seems very unnatural to him … and without Felton that eliminates a big time threat using the RBs and screen game I would guess Landry plays out of the backfield a bit. Maybe a bit, but not much more than what we have already seen. To me, if anything we will see more empty sets.

The guy we signed, Brian Hill, is a pretty decent catcher of the football. The problem, obviously, is that he is unfamiliar with the offense so putting him for pass protection, knowing when to get out into the pattern, or running a screen pass, which takes a good deal of precise timing, might be in question... but he can catch the football. To me we might lean on the fullback position a bit more. More probable in maybe us a TE in that role.

We got Janovich back at FB he is a reliable pass catcher and if need be could run the ball with our TE playing HB. but a lack of speed to stretch the field outside of the tackles. We just brought up this kid Bradley WR from the practice squad, wonder if he can run with the ball???
What is the status with Chubb anything official cause all I read/hear is "IF" Chubb is out. So there's a chance??? We can get somebody to play the position of RB and do OK but realistically there is no replacement for "CHUBB" or "HUNT" for that matter. Running through an open hole is nice but running through an open hole and create damage is another.

Small chance. He’s gotta test negative twice to be eligible.

The affected players have to test negative today in order to have any chance of playing Sunday. Negative today and tomorrow, fly to New England on their own for Sunday's game.

If Chubb gets his first negative test today, which means his second tomorrow would also likely be negative, I'll start the gofundme to pay for his plane ticket.

I wonder if there will be any release of info if there are initial negative tests today? Probably not, as I'm sure it will be regarded as a competitive advantage to say nothing until a second negative test is received. Fans wanna know!

I get it but I don't need to know. I could live with turning on the pre-game show and having them show the Browns warming up with Chubb taking hand-offs and catching passes. I would be fine with that.

I won't lie and say I expected the Phins to win. But giving the Rat Birds seven and a half points I thought was simply too much. As such I took the Phins and the points. Couldn't be happier about the Rat Birds loss. On that last Phins TD drive they ran the ball down their throats.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

That doesn't change the fact that they ran the ball very well during that drive.

They ran it well when needed on that last drive.
3 of those rushes were inside the 10. One went for 7 yards on 2nd and 9. One went for a first down on 3rd and 2 at the 3 and they scored easily on the QB sneak at the 1.

Hill has average 4.7. YPC on his 209 attempts so he is capable.

I don't understand how Chubb can test positive or comes down with Covid symptoms if he is vaccinated to the max...?
Does Chubb have a weakened immune system?
Is he vaccinated to the max aloud?
Are the Browns being cautious and keeping the facilities as clean as possible?
What is going on with the Browns once again dealing with a covid outbreak?
Anyone have any logical explanation as to why the Browns, again?

It's an airborne disease that is highly contagious. The vaccines aren't nearly 100% effective so you will have vaccinated people contract it. It is just bad luck it hit us again.

So now one of the main worries has to be how many plays done keep Johnson in for? Because if he gets hurt we are really in trouble. These other two dont even know our system. Who will stay in on third down to pass block? Uhhg this blows. Speaking of running backs missing the game. Both of the Patriots starting RBs suffered concussions this past week. Any news on If they are going to play

I think the Covid is because there was contact to someone who has gotten it...contact is regardless if you have vaccines or not. That just means the person with the vaccine will be most probable to not get infected.
Just guessing but I think Kelly got it with Chubb and Felton both coming in contact with him...just not enough time to escape the protocol and make the game. Next game it probably with have Chubb cleared.
For some reason I think there are some teams that don't adhere to the letter of the law ( cough: Steelers : cough) as close as the Browns have. For some reason lately whenever someone gets on the Covid list they do not have the virus just came in contact with somebody that did and eventually pass so that it was a false alarm bit miss the game...of course NOT THE STEELERS.
Janovich is on the 53 - Stanton is on the Practice Squad. Janovich is better than Stanton. Janovich can run the ball if emergency asks for it - Hopefully one of the guys we picked up will give Johnson some rest with taking over some reps or we just might see a spread formation and we will be passing a lot this game. I envision Janovich being a lone back as he can block and catch passes and I see Harrison going in motion and stopping as the FB with Baker under center and then run Janovich.

The two week testing protocol unless you have a mini breakout is rather problematic because it is well documented that jabbed people are just as infectious and have high probabilities of being positive but asymptomatic. The 2 week testing exemption is patently unfair and unlucky as it unjust can punish one team while letting other off scott free if tgeir team is asymptomatic but positive 3 days following the required test....the jab is not effective at preventing transmission, just severe infection....the two week waiver is a failure that ignores science.
