I won't lie, I hated the Taki pick...and his tape was poor (outside of his motor and being placed everywhere) he never did anything for us, until this year. He was lights out in that Cincy game, hopefully there's more to come from him and he continues to ascend for us. Low risk contract to boot.

My thoughts as well. And it is a cheap deal.

Good signing. Hoping he can fully recover by the season


"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."

Glad to see this re-sign, Taki Taki played great last season until the injury ... Another great job Berry thumbsup

He gets an A for effort, that's for certain. He always looks like he's giving 100%.

I think he’s one of the few drafted browns who has shown steady improvement (along with Njoku, Bitonio, Chubb)

Google reminded me it was a torn acl in week I3. Yikes
How is the recovery going?
Get Well Soon. He was really playing well for a time.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Hopefully our new DC, Schwartz will be able to bring out the best in TakTak.

I knew in the past it took a just over a year to a year and a half to return from an acl, so what did 2023 medicine do?

Google said an NFL ACL tear takes nine to I2 months recovery, if the injury happened in week I3 then it must have been around the first to 8th of December, which means, if they don't want to risk re injury by bringing Taki Taki back too soon
then the September games would all be too soon, probably not even think about returning until at least the Halloween game or week after Halloween game which would still be about five weeks less than twelve months. And that's if everything goes perfect.

There are times when some players need to be protected from themselves and forced to take a "go slow" approach. Taki's situation might be such a case.

Good point Mac. He’s one of those guys that is like that

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Don't let him push himself harder than his injury will allow so it can continue to heal.

J/C Very happy for Taktaki. Was the only LB on the roster who actually hits like a LB and RB’s actually stoped and went backwards after a hit. Very excited to see him play in Schwartz’s D. Not sure how serious his injury was, but it appears he is recovering well.
