This is hilarious:

Worker-bee, center-only prospect who won't check many physical boxes but brings his grit to the fight on every snap. Harris' body type belies his impressive foot quickness and ability to make all the move blocks needed from his position. His ability to sustain both run and pass blocks speak to his consistency of effort and performance, but size, scheme and positional limitations could cause him to drop lower in the draft than his actual tape would dictate.

I hope Thomas can play Sunday. I liked what he did last week and any reps he can get are important

Also... yours was a statement... not a question.

Dalvin Cook injury update, Week 4 fantasy outlook
UPDATE: Vikings' coach Kevin O'Connell called Cook "day to day" heading into Week 4.

Cook (shoulder) was ruled out of the Vikings' come-from-behind victory over the Lions in Week 3 after dislocating his shoulder in the third quarter. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, "Cook has an unrepaired labral tear and wasn't wearing a harness."

Cook has dealt with this same shoulder injury in the past, playing two games with a harness. By his own estimation, he'll "be out there" next week when the Vikings travel to London to face the Saints, but obviously that won't be his decision. If for some reason the Vikings take a more cautious approach and sit Cook, then fellow RB Alexander Mattison would be a top priority on the waiver wire. Mattison played every snap once Cook was ruled out and has RB1 upside when Cook fails to suit up. At the very least, let this serve as a reminder that Mattison is an extremely valuable handcuff and should be owned in most leagues.


Wow, maybe Cook would prefer playing for Stefanski again where he could make the decision whether he plays or not. Unbelievable that rookie coach Kevin O'Connell would actually think the head coach makes the decision whether a guy plays or not.

What is your point?

Haha we clearly need to add Cook to fortify our RB room

In all honesty, he’s a frustrating player because he’s always banged up

He's one of the Fabulous Baker Boys and blames Stefanski for Baker's issues.

With each passing week they are becoming more of an endangered species around here. They certainly don't post at the same clip anymore.

It won't be long before Baker becomes one of the better backup QBs' in the League ... but first he will have to admit to himself that he is not starting QB material, like Colt McCoy did, carving out a nice career as a backup.

Unfortunately, I am not a Baker boy as Vers claims. In fact, the only one posting constantly about Baker is Vers. I just found it interesting that the Vikings as well as every other team in the NFL has the HC making the decisions as to whether a player plays or not no matter what the player thinks or says. Due to the 100's of posts in this forum claiming in Cleveland the player decides if he plays, injured or not, I thought it was interesting that teams will actually come out publicly and say who really makes the decision. I've never been confused but there are posts on this forum clearly showing there are some here that are confused.

Hopefully, they will soon become extinct.

Your point was well made and what you said is true. Lots of posters - especially the one calling you names and "Baker Boy" said the decision on whether Baker played was all up to Baker and not the HC. But it's easier to poke fun at you than respond to the facts. C'est la vie.

He's obsessed. LMAO

Actually, steve brought it up. This thread was all but dead. He had to take yet another shot at the HC of the Browns.

aye is our guy Bryant gonna be good to go anytime soon? we really need him to open up the passing game even more. i still think bryant could develop to really be that dude.

Exactly. Steve posted a comment that was directed at and in relation to the HC. But it was you that brought Baker into it. Like you always do.

You're STALKING which part of the board another member is reading and he's obsessed!

Lord have mercy. lmao

If Baker was as good as so many thought he wouldn't be 32nd in the QBR ratings.
Jacoby Brissett is doing what is expected out of a QB. PROTECT THE FOOTBALL
AND KEEP THE CHAINS MOVING
he isn't a turnover factory like Baker was. Jacoby knows his limitations
As a QB and he isn't fooling himself thinking he is better than what he is.
Mayfield was never as elite as wanted himself to believe
Baker didn't exactly face a top echelon teams last week to week and he
Still couldn't get the Browns to the playoffs
I can't believe Brissett is getting discredited cause he hasn't faced
"Top echlon" teams so far.
Heck Mayfield played against 2 below average defenses to start the 2021
Season and nobody brought up how weak those defenses were
Nope...all that brought up was his fools good 97% completion percentage
What is his completion % this year ???

It goes both ways. When somebody posts something negative about BM, it gets multiple replies whether it was in response to another post or initially brought up....and then there's an ensuing discussion about who brought him up first. I think it's entertaining that so many people feel a need to defend him here. He didn't leave on the best of terms, and he brought some of that on himself.

Like you did for a long time?

Didn't leave on the best of terms? No, he didn't. He signed a huge contract extension and then only a short time later demanded a trade and refused to play for an entire season until his demand was met.

No, wait, never mind that wasn't baker.

It seems some defend a QB who should have brought a lot more on himself, and did.

Actually, I remember Baker saying that.

Back to the selective quoting tactic I see. You've pretty much proven the point of the rest of my post that you didn't quote.

I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of this portion of your post. Sorry that bothers you. You brought up " He didn't leave on the best of terms, and he brought some of that on himself. " Yet you don't like the fact that the 230 million dollar man left his former team under even worse terms and far more egregious actions. It's obvious that it's not actually about what a player does but which unifrom they're wearing that makes the difference to you.

Neither did themselves any favors so no, I'm not sticking up for some of Baker's actions. What I'm doing is showing you the prime example of your selective finger pointing depending on who the player is and what uniform they're wearing.

Actually I think a lot of posts get made based on the who they are responding to - as well as the player and uniform they wear. Case in point, I've seen a few posts directed at me for responding to non-football posts by a particular poster.... funnily enough all those posts to me make mention of the person I am responding to and the original non-football post, but they never actually address the poster of the original combative non-football post directly. You know - the one that is the instigator of 80% or more of the conflict on this board.

1. Who runs the team and makes decisions on who plays ?
2. Regardless of what a player says - who runs the team and makes decisions on who plays?

Sorry, I messed up, this post stated it was about injuries......where? It's posters bashing each other. Bye.

Man, the Chargers are a MASH unit.

No idea about the questions you asked, but I definitely agree w/you about the Ravens last year. I might be mistaken, but there always seems to be one team each year that is almost like an outlier when it comes to injuries. Chargers this year. Baltimore last year. San Fran a couple to few years ago.

^This is why we tell you to shut up. This is why people stalk you to such a degree on here. You are too damn stubborn to get it or you're a troll. Either way, it's time to let the whole baker thing go.

We liked Baker, maybe more than he deserved. You hate baker, way more than he ever deserved. And OBJ is a punk.

At least there are no punctured lungs by the trainers ... yet

Give it time!

Wow! Who woulda thunk it?!?

Browns rule out Myles Garrett
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 1, 2022, 12:10 PM EDT

Browns defensive end Myles Garrett will miss Sunday’s game in Atlanta after injuries sustained in a car accident this week.

The Browns announced today that Garrett won’t be traveling with the team to take on the Falcons.

Garrett suffered bicep and shoulder injuries when he flipped his Porsche this week. Police cited Garrett for failure to control his vehicle and said he was driving over the speed limit.

The Browns did not make any announcement about defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is listed as questionable for the game, which indicates that he will make the trip to Atlanta and his game status will be decided after pregame warmups tomorrow.

Cleveland also signed tight end Miller Forristall to the active roster, making him eligible to play on Sunday.
