I thought he was going to slim down. Guess he had other plans.

I decided to look at Neal and see what's wrong because he was so good in college. Found the problem. The DEs he's going against are grabbing his jersey and pulling on it to throw him off balance or throw him on the ground. He is not used to that and defensive holding is not being called, so it's the tricks of the trade that are getting him.

It's pretty obvious what we're doing with our o-line. This is more of a run blocking o-line built for CMC. The plan is probably to play action pass to CMC once he gets going, and then throw out of that. We're going to try to maul teams with monsters like Ickey and Moton, and in the middle we'll use violence pulling like you saw in the clip in this thread. That can lead to injuries but also set CMC on fire for big gains. Smashing into guy leading with your head and going flying to the turf does not make for a long career, put it that way.

I guess Brown can just roll his way out of here. He's cut for sure.

Corral looks small and confused, but this isn't the end of his story. He could end up anywhere from a backup or to a starter. I've been saying all along that we're taking a QB in the 1st round of the 2023 NFL draft, and I still think that is the case. Early on Corral looks like a backup at best.

Corral's quick release is a good trait.

You forget how big Moton is.

That was not a HoF pass.

Ickey is a damn wild bull in run blocking.

His pass blocking in college looked beautiful, but you never know about that NFL transition.

Shi Smith has looked so good at punk returns. Fighting for s pot.

I thought Neal looked like a better pass blocker than Ickey in the draft, but Fitt saw something in Ickey to want him badly.

Wat until we put horn out there tonight.

Already tired of PJ and the game just started.

Alright deflate the footballs and turn on secret handheld cameras! Game time!

The o-line is what to watch in this game.

PJ starting, no Horn, weird center I've never heard of, we'll see I guess.

Horn is playing! What a treat.

TMJ all season:

If the media and women's groups decide to really press this issue I think Watson could be permanently banned from the NFL. The NFLPA is the only ting that might be able to help him if a media firestorm starts. I wonder if the Browns would be willing to offer a 4th round pick for Sam to get them through the first 11 games?

It comes down to if you think we can find a guy who is better than Pat. We can't answer that, so that's about as far as I can go with this line of thought. I do think that Bozeman might have a lot of various injuries this season.

I think the Huddle is the most realistic it's ever been since Rhule took over as HC. In the past I would read predictions that were outrageous, but now fans are pretty much on target with W/L predictions. Maybe someone might be interested in digging up the W/L predictions for last season, but I remember a lot of 5 or 6 wins predictions. We're getting very accurate. So I'll chime in with my prediction for the season. I am expecting 7 or 8 wins if CMC stays healthy. If he is injured, then we're around 6 wins depending on how many games he misses.
