And it took him 2 years to chase Demarco Murray out of town, and that third year, they had the bright idea of splitting time with Dion Lewis..he's really only been THE guy for 5 of those 8..truly a beast

Looking for some honesty... keep hearing blurbs that DeSean Watson does not look good. True? False? Exaggerated?

I'm very mid on Henry. Line looks really bad, he's going to be 30 this season...at some point the wheels come off. Of course, I predicted that for Brady for what seemed like a lifetime and Henry hasn't really shown any signs yet.

Just reset the draft results and confirmed it will let me lower the bench spots now... Thanks anyway!

Entering the draft is a chore, but I miss when we used to do live drafts in my work league. Unfortunately, only 2 of the owners still works here lol.

I think that is exaggerated. He looked ok in little preseason time but I am guessing this is in practice or team scrimmages. He supposedly threw a bunch of picks to the Eagles secondary but I have also heard he has looked much better-actually the opposite. It will be a work-in-progress imo. I don't know if we ever see the old Deshaun Watson tbh. I think all that is exaggerated but I haven't paid a ton of attention to the noise.

There is one Browns reporter, Zack Jackson that said he looks awful and I feel he has been the focal point of that noise.

Thought I just saw something on Twitter earlier this week saying the offense and Watson looked a lot better with Cooper back at practice than when he was out. Couldn't find it again in the 5sec I tried

I post on a Browns forum and there is actually a thread directly related to Joe's post. The thoughts were pretty much what I outlined. One guy blowing it up, overreaction, he hasn't looked spectacular but a work-in-progress and better recently.

There is also an article that says Chubb will not only be a 3 down back but more involved in the passing game as well. Could have close to 8-10 targets a game in this new scheme.

21-20 : not the type of game I expected from those two. One thing was clear though - the two key players for KC are Mahomes and Kelce.

One thing that's bugging me from last nights game-

Lions have the ball with about 5 to go and a 1 point lead.
Give to Gibbs..18 yards
Montgomery back in, 3 straight gives, and 4th down, amazingly they call a pass play which is knocked down, giving Mahommes and the Cheifs the ball, trialing by one, with 2+ minutes to go and all 3 timeouts

I said to myself, see..THIS is why Rb's are so undervalued and mean more to teams than they're given credit for by anyone. These are the situations you pay a RB real money for, to close out the game, and since they went the middle of the road option with Monty, they're gonna lose this game. Maybe should've fed that dude you blew a top 15 pick on, eh??

And then of course Toney blows it by dropping the pass that would've gotten them into FG range, penalties, Chiefs hand it back..
and then of course, on the second go around, Monty converts in 3 carries and ends the game.

F me running.

By all rights, the lack of a real RB, or at least the non use of a real RB that you have but didn't go to, SHOULD have resulted in a loss, but they got away with it

They probably want to protect Gibbs from being the guy who lost them the game in his first start. Let that be Montgomery if anybody.

Gibbs may end up being a Barry Sanders-type back - big gain or nothing, which is basically like a pass play.

Jamaal Williams was a big loss. He was a money short yardage back and Montgomery is just not that guy. Jamaal was a great pickup for the Saints and will be a perfect compliment to Kamara.

GIVE THE FUCKING BALL TO JAMARR. That kid can break a long play at any moment, hopefully the coaching staff realizes that very quick.

well the opposite POV of that being..if he's not that guy, or if you're not going to put that on that guy..than maybe you shouldn't have taken him in the top 15?


I dunno about his style and what might come, but he seemed pretty decisive to me in all but the misstep at the 9 yard line where he got tangled in his own feet trying to bounce one outside- to his credit, the lane was there, it was the right move, he just didn't execute. I don't think he'll have very many negative runs caused by dancing around in the backfield, at least not based on that very limited sample size

He hits holes hard, not a dancer. Love his style and don't think he was overdrafted.

totally agree. I just hope they don't continue to not use him. You invested some major draft capital, use it. A couple weeks to get his feet under him..ok, fine, but use the kid
