So depending on Ford's injury, we might be signing a new RB

Well, I guess we won't be seeing Deon Jackson play for us!!! LOL

Browns’ RB Jerome Ford - who left Sunday’s win over the Colts with an ankle injury - was diagnosed with what a source described as a “low grade, high ankle” sprain that is expected to sideline him 1-to-2 weeks.

With this news and the Browns releasing Deon Jackson, there must be someone they are targeting to trade for or sign soon.

thats my thought too Milk

Don't know that he'll do better here than with the Jets, but Stefanski has some familiarity with Dalvin Cook.

JC...

If we are going to look for a back to pick up cheaply, I wouldn't mind looking into Antonio Gibson from Washington (especially for a late pick swap) He has great speed, and is a good-really good outlet back for our piss poor QB play. He also is a good kick returner, though I'm not sure if he returns punts (where DPJ is not the answer) Gibson isn't going to make us forget about Chubb, but I think he would do well in our platoon...and he's still only 25 years old...though his fumble tendencies surely could be scary. But I think he could be obtained rather cheaply.

great call tru .. Gibson would be a nice addition. He's underused there

Thanks 4life, I can't see us really bringing in a big name/big contract guy...and I think a back who is a proven outlet back, would be good news to any of our QBs...and anyone with proven return experience would be a welcomed addition...And Gibson does have a 1k rushing season under his belt, so he has shown to be more than just a receiver.

no doubt about it ... he's fallen out of favor there for some reason but he'd be a really nice pickup

A RB? Look no further than re-acquiring D'Earnst Johnson....

he's out for a few weeks

I think we are going with Strong and Hunt for a few weeks.

This is probably the most probable outcome, keeping those two while probably obtaining a RB off of someones PS...or a street free agent for a few weeks until Ford is back.

Per ESPN: #Browns have a 58.1% chance to make the playoffs.

Face it, the mob blames him when the Browns lose and swear it's despite him when they win. The dye has been cast. The Browns gave up 38 points in that game and he still doesn't get any credit. That speaks volumes.

So by that very same logic, does that mean you're also giving Stefanski credit for the Browns having the #1 defense this year? Or are you blaming him for Woods performance and not giving him credit for Schwartz?

People defending Ski’s play calling and game management are lying to themselves. Same with DW being elite IMO. We’ll see.

Purp has it right. The buck stops with Ski in all coaching concerns.

j/c...

Familiar face and unfortunate fumbler, Jordan Wilkins, rejoining the team...

his issue this preseason was fumbling. Let's hope that doesn't rear its head

Super Bowl!

hmm, surprised we didn't go with John Kelley Jr to our practice squad, he played way better than wilkins in pre-season and plays hard at least

so there's really no update for Watson ... he's nowhere close IMO. He looked really bad this past Sunday, so I wouldn't trust putting him back out there for weeks

I would hope PJ Walkers takes all the reps in practice this week and they don't waste time with Watson.

Also, the back in forth between Watson's personal QB coach, Quincy Avery, and Brady Quinn in the comments under the Schefter's tweet escalated quickly!

I saw that too. Just a dumb look all the way around. This probably won't end well.

But you're right: we need to just give PJ every ounce of attention now

See, Bro-


that right there is why I still call him "Ray."

PJ Walker's stats YTD:

O TD's 3 INT's 1 fumble and a 50% completion ratio

I don't think we can keep winning with Walker.

no amount of polish will make the turd that is PJ walker serviceable. They need a backup, its been clear since the baltimore game, we've done nothing. That kind of tells me the FO is punting this season and ownership is ok with it and anything above that is just gravy.

A question I want to ask the posters who claim that both Berry and KS are incompetent is; if they are that bad, we must have the worst talent and equally worst coaching. How in God's name are we 4-2 with no talent and can't coach.

Mostly schwartz, and having a few zebra's on the payroll is paying dividends

it's about time lol

Excellent insight. I can rest easy now that I understand the inner workings of those who feel both the front office and head coach are incompetent. Any insider info on how much we had to pay those refs?

yeah, truthfully the players and coaches have to act like Watson is invisible and pour all efforts into helping Walker ... game plan specific, play to his strengths, etc
