Sucks for Puka who was great. But the qb who completely transformed a franchise gets it every time.

Puka had a bad combine and especially disappointing 40 time. But he ran the third fastest pattern in the NFL this year (low 20s?). Why don't they find a test that better approximates game speed instead of just straight line at the combine.

@Roundybout said earlier both corners are carrying injuries.

The O Line is really helping Stroud to have an outstanding game.

Expand  

The opposite for Flacco.

I have a legit question as I have never watched the Browns play- but our their corners just bad? I feel like I. The first half I was watching 1 of them and everything near him he seemed to want to avoid contact 

Expand  

They are very good against the run and their safeties are excellent but plays can be made on their corners

I don’t think exes value 40s as much as fans do. Puka’s number at BYU where he played with 2 “nfl” qbs were pretty whatever. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/puka-nacua-1.html
 

like McDermott, McVay is great at identifying wr talent

I'm not sure if the Browns have an O Line at the moment!

The safeties have been hot trash today

That’s pretty much their entire defense

He has about 3 seconds or so to operate

Stroud is good but so far he has mostly comfortable pockets and his scoring production is off busted play deep balls.  Lets see what happens when he is uncomfortable and has to march the field without those busted bombs.  That will happen to him eventually.

Expand  

You don’t think him being a great deep ball passer isn’t helping that? 
 

he was 3rd in the nfl at passes over 20 yards.

But Wyatt Teller is on Cleveland. I read here that letting him go was one of Beane's biggest mistakes

Expand  

I mean it was. Not sure the point you’re trying to make here. 

[Warcodered]

Seemed like a pretty ticky-tack hold.

[Coldfronts]

Didn't realize how physical Houston defense was

[78thealltimegreat]

Man Cleveland’s tackles have really regressed even Todd Blackledge just mentioned it this seems like Flacco has a rusher on top of him every play 

[daz28]

Flacco lasering.  And then a terrible decision, which will lead to him getting more pressure now.  This game is over

Feels like this drive has stalled due to the penalty. It was holding but when you consider they let the Texans get away with the obvious DPI earlier....

 

And just when I typed that!

[popcornpam]

Like I said, Flacco is looking older today!

[Roundybout]

Flacco has turned back into a pumpkin

[Dick_Cheney]

That should do it for the Browns.
