Orion Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 3 hours ago, Neo said: Yeah, Baker did play but was it a smart thing to do? Probably not. I bet that with Baker part of his mentality was, I don't want the backup playing and winning games, then they might stay starting him. Whereas I don't think that enters into Watson's thinking at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb12711 Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 https://reddit.com/r/Browns/s/kEjss1mtiM idk man, the whole thing just reeks to me. Look, the rational person in me gets what some of you are trying to say. Skipping this game gives a guy a full two weeks to recover and God willing not miss another snap. I also more strongly feel like it’s being indicated the team, staff, and teammates thought he was good enough to play and he willingly did not. That shit will absolutely kill a locker room if there’s truth to it, especially because he’s the highest paid player on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 I think it was when he got a helmet to his shoulder on a designed-run down by the endzone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video I posted looks a lot more violent and he was down on the field. Announcer said DTR was on the field after that hit. Sure looks like they were trying to hurt him with that shot. No way that's incidental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is (or thinks he is) a foot-ball player, eh ? Takin' the hits to gain that extra yard ? Evidently that makes no difference to him how much he is guaranteed to be paid by the Cleveland BROWNS. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernieSuperBowl2 Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I can't blame Deshaun for that play. We were up 13-3 in the middle of the third quarter, so the game was by no means a blowout, and he picked up 10 yards but took a hit. The real issue here is Kevin Stefanski. That was a designed QB draw. It's not really a play where your quarterback can slide, you're sending him right into traffic. Smart coaches don't put their quarterback in a position like that to get crushed. But Stefanski's a moron, so he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it really is the smartest decision to sit out knowing you have a bye week. At the same time, the Browns should have a competent backup that can come in a play a game and still have your team in the mix. The Browns thought they had that in DTR but they didn't, he stunk. Is that really DTR's fault? Probably not. They didn't do themselves any favors by waiting until the last second to decide if Watson was ready to go or not. The o-line didn't give him a lot of help. The coaches didn't put him in the best possible situation to win. If we got a good performance out of DTR this is a non issue. And you damn well know there were people out there anyhow that wanted to see DTR and now they have. And hopefully it will be a while until we do again. He clearly wasn't ready. I just rewatched the Tennessee game and I got myself to thinking, the roles really reversed from the Titans game to the Ravens game. DTR looked like Tannehill did in the previous game. Couldn't do anything without constant pressure. Almost like the Ravens used our gameplan against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This extended version of the video shows nobody came to Watson's defense after that brutal hit.

If they prep him properly I think he may stand a better chance but let's be real, neither one would stand a great chance against that defense.

I haven't smoked since I coughed all over the place with one or two cigs while drinking Venezuelan rum at age 17. My dad smoked from early teens until early 70's, but the damage was done. Died of a heart attack a few days short of 77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get healthy and come back for a run at the playoffs. It's the only way...I just can't see us winning this game, and honestly, it won't be close. Shanahan will have the best game plan in nfl history Sunday. He still hates us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 After watching Brock Purdy and the niners demolish the Cowboys, Purdy started looking a bit like Joe Montana to me. He has that "it" and was really accurate. The niners seem to have NO weaknesses to exploit. The Browns have one major one - the head coach. It will still be quite a clash I think.
