Did he blend in?

Thanks. I remember how funny that was.

Hue gonna quit at halftime.

LOL. We had similar thoughts. I think on kickoff returns, the Browns should do what Rex tried to do to us a few years ago and have one of the return men lie down on one of the brown stripes to blend in. Who did Rex use? Was it Percy Harvin?

Manboob Williams must be going nuts on the sideline. His D is getting it's ass handed to it. Demoralizing.

Ours isn't optimal, but bringing a former starter back, especially one with the legacy of TT, is not a recipe for success imo.

No. It would be an untenable situation.

Wish we had Myles Garrett

Wow. Natives getting restless.

Agreed.

Looking like typical Thursday night football. The WORST football product on TV, typically.

Browns need to fire their grounds crew. No reason that field should look like that.

Are you discounting the entire year+ they've had in their respective professional programs? It's too bad Allen doesn't have more than a year of learning under the helm of Andy Reid at this point. Mahommes may not have played last season, but he was learning to be a pro QB none the less.

The hard work on the roster couldn't be accomplished this year. One look at the QB situation and the surrounding offensive personnel should have clued everyone in on where this season was going. The big surprise is the defensive performance so far. We all expected more in that department.

There will be pockets of informed, intelligent discussion among those who understood what this season was going to be all along. Come and find us.

An impossibility this year. McBeane are playing the long game. In the meantime, Allen is a big man, with athletic chops and a good head on his shoulders, so he can handle some wolves while he gets vital reps to jump start his development.

Outstanding summary. Thanks.

I agree TT can hold the fort. The issue is, if holding the fort is his ceiling, where does he get you, ultimately? Don’t get me wrong, I have a ton of respect for him as a person and I am grateful for what he accomplished here, but “fort holder” is the minimum standard for a starter.

How would we know if it’s affecting him or not? What, it’s gonna be noticeable that he’s not going all out?

"Earned" is a generous way of putting it. And if the NFL delineated to that fractional degree, I'd only give him that 1/32nd share.

Putting in the work off the field to protect Allen? Does that mean they form a moving pocket around him everywhere he goes? I can just see that coming at me in Aisle 2 at Tops.

Damn, I gotta read that article again. I totally misread the numbers, apparently. I agree that the incentive may seem odd on the surface, but this was a player in decline and coming off surgery for an injury. He didn't garner a lot of interest around the league, either, as a FA. I seriously doubt the Bills would deliberately sit anyone just to save $750k, though. They had legitimate reasons to keep him out of game one. Chief among them was his dismal preseason performance. Thanks. I shouldn't read articles in a hurry. That prorated 1/16th share sounds reasonable.

I can certainly see that in terms of situational rotations, but he would need to beef up to withstand the snap to snap rigors of that inside position. Considering he doesn't move very well at his current weight, I'd be concerned. But inside on passing downs? I think that's a good idea.
