Case Keenum to start for Browns on TNF

[Rc2catch]

I actually think Keenum could be a slight upgrade temporarily. He’s gonna use those 3 tight ends better IMO 

[Blainorama5]

Browns will try to run as much as possible.  If they get behind - they're screwed.

[YoloinOhio]

The over/under for this game is 41 😳

[YoloinOhio]

Take the browns and the under. Denver is bad.

It's amazing how quickly injuries can derail a season. Count our blessings so far...

 

The Browns will do better with Keenum; the running back injuries might be a problem, though.

I actually picked him up in fantasy. It’s between him and Daniel Jones for me this week with Allen on a Bye. I just don’t trust the giants 

I watched much of the Browns 2020 training camp video coverage (they showed team  portions but only between the tackles) because a local kid was trying to earn a roster spot again, TE Stephen Carlson.  I thought Keenum looked better than Baker in most practices but he had been with Stefanski before when they were with the Vikings.  I thought he used the TE group well and that helped Carlson show enough make the 53.  I suspect he'll get the ball out quicker than Baker tends to do.

Pro Football Reference has Chubb-Out but they have nothing about Hunt's game status on his calf.

FWIW.

Hunt is out, they put him on IR this week.  D'Ernest Johnson starts, with John Kelly, who was great in the preseason, as the backup, and Demetric Felton as a 3rd down/receiver.

 

Johnson has played pretty well when given the chance, he just get next to no carries with Chubb and Hunt in normally.

This will be an interesting test of the "running backs are a dime-a-dozen" and "running backs are fungible" theories.  Chubb and Hunt are the best 1-2 duo in the league.  We'll see what kind of dropoff occurs.

Particularly if it's the QB.  There are very few teams in the league, if any, which can absorb a QB going down and still save the season.

 

If it's more than a few games, forget it!

Keenum is the sacrificial lamb. Both of their OT's are out and Baker is already dealing with the shoulder injury. Von Miller is gonna eat on Thursday night. 

Nom nom

Baker Mayfield said yesterday that it would be a “game time” decision and that he would make the call himself. Guess not. 

 

They are also missing Chubb and Hunt. 

Difficult to be missing a Chubb, alright...🤔

The wind might be tough for Keenum as he doesn’t have a big arm but I think their defense should be good enough to win a low scoring game at home. Crowd should be into it.

They have a bunch of injuries along the oline as well

Looks like not as much of a dropoff as people think.

[Bermuda Triangle]

Keenum =  Mayfield

Or could be that Johnson is a pretty good back as well.  Maybe better than what we have in our lineup

Johnson looked pretty electric to me. 
 

Man RB really arent what they used to be. Even Cook, when he went down and is arguably a top 3 RB, Mattison started for him and only had 180 total yds week 3. Yeh my sentence structure sucked there. Still drinking coffee.

I think certain teams like the Vikings or Browns, who have a system in place to  run the ball, can put almost anyone back there and run it for about 100 any given sunday.
