Delpit isn't the only big loss for the #Browns defense. Per source, DE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo has a pectoral injury that could end his season. Obo is second on the Browns with 4.5 sacks.
Delpit, Oko, Mo, Philips, McCleod... we're getting THIN.
I honestly think it would be easier at this point to put a list together of starters who are NOT out for the rest of the season. Might as well include the entire second string as well.
Anything we achieve now is gravy (and it might have already been)
Obo is hurt too?????? We are done...
In all my life I have never seen anything like this. Now 5 starters in a week. Never have I seen this.

The crazy part is that a good chunk of these are kinda coming out of nowhere. We knew had an idea about Delpit, but Hurst and Obo?
Why do the Football Gods hate us?

Right! It doesn't make sense
I give our team a lot of credit for continuing to play hard and fight, but the injuries might have overtaken us with this current wave
Given the life that Facco has brought in the door.
The one area of injury that really hurts is OT. I was hopeful that Wills would return and we would have Wills and Jones at OT.
Christian and Hudson are deep below average.
What I believe is KS will go back to the Baker playbook. That is 12 personnel, under center, play action. We will use a third TE at times. On some plays we will go OL jumbo and bring in an extra guard with a fullback.
We will use the rolling pocket and go back to a brand of WCO. Where the routes will be tied up to 3 and 5 step drops. That means get the ball out.
Flacco can run that offense. He has in the past. In fact play action is his game. He hides the ball well and is decisive when throwing. We saw some of that in the Jags game.
Scheme and assignment are strong points of a KS offense.
Really with the injuries at OT it is our best chance.
I still have not read or heard that orkoronko is for sure lost for the season
I've been surprised at how well Flacco sells play action. That's a real strength I'm not sure I've ever noticed before.

well, they said there's an outside shot he could play if we made it to mid January
Same. I really expected him to struggle there, actually.
How bad must Alex Leatherwood, a former first-rounder be, to not get promoted from the practice squad.
He may be bad still, I don’t know. I do know he has been injured as of last week.
Just a note... it appears Ogbo has not been put on IR, so there's a chance that he heals up enough to return, perhaps for the playoffs. So, things may not be as dire as they feel.

That's a nice possible positive.
yeah, I thought I read that Ogbo has a small chance to return if he can rehab a bit and avoid surgery
Here’s hoping. He’s been our only other legit pass rusher.
It’s somewhat of a miracle that Ski has this team where it is right now.
