QB, TE, WR, LT, LB, DT, P
QB is at least questionable right now.
TE is not a weakness at all. If Harrison Bryant is your 3rd TE, you're doing just fine.
WR, as someone else said, needs a #1, or at least a speed guy to back the defense up. Not just a guy who can run fast down the field, he needs to be able to produce when the defense moves up to stop Chubb/Hunt/Johnson. Landry is fine. Higgins is fine, just has the injury bug this year. Schwartz is the speed guy, but has been hurt, and not produced much yet. Peoples-Jones is hot and cold right now, but has been injured a lot too. He has the potential to be a solid #2, maybe more, but needs to keep improving.
LB is debatable. I think they need to upgrade at MLB, but they rarely play 3 LB anyway. Owusu-Koramoah will be a Pro Bowler, and soon. Dude is a missile, and reads the offense extremely well, especially for a rookie.
DT they basically need depth and youth. Malik Jackson is good, but older. Malik McDowell is really good, especially for where he has come from. He needs to improve no doubt, but he is extremely overpowering at times. And Jordan Elliot is a good, quick tackle. Not great, but pretty serviceable.

look even Klatt said it on the Stroud late TD run that was called back for basically nothing, he'd seen tons of no calls that were far worse than that very questionable hold. i respect Klatt totally and on top of that, i saw all this crap with my own 2 eyes.
And even with 3 sacks, Hutchinson was held WAY more than what was called. He was headlocked to the ground at least twice that I saw that wasn't called.

sour grapes? mbe. more like im tired of seeing refs call ticky tack garbage on one team while blatantly ignoring the same thing for the other team. i easily counted 10+ holding calls on that amazing mauling Michigan OLine that led to very nice runs. wasnt called fairly for both teams imo. if ichigan actually earned it, i wouldnt care tbh. when the refs earn it for u.....well same crap as the NFL lately so i shouldnt be upset i guess.
Nope. Not sour grapes at all......

The NFLPA doesn't want it after the draft, especially now with the slotted draft positions. FA players land bigger contracts when there is the unknown of who will be available in the draft.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Not very often though. Like once or twice a year. It's weirdly delicious.

Diggs was said to have character problems and Diggs even admitted some of it. OBJ would be a great addition for a small price. I wouldn't have traded for him, but as a free agent sure. He's still getting open.
He's dropping passes non stop too. In 6 games this year I'm pretty sure hes dropped 3 4th down passes that hit him square in the chest.

Dante Stallworth anyone?
Stallworth is similar, but not the same. He was drunk, but the other guy was also crossing a major highway, at night, in an area with no light if i remember right. He deserved to be charged but its not the same as this incident.

Aren’t they missing a tackle or two as well? Or are they back?
LT Wills is back, Conklin is out.

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.

That tacky holding call denying the kickoff TD stings.
The dude had a full handful of jersey on his back. Can't be an easier call.

Watt should be suspended for the forearms to the head last night. He wasn't going for the ball. The hit to gut he may have been, but the 2 forearms he was not.
Pittsburgh has been dirty for years, but always play it off as "being physical." Hines Ward is the dirtiest WR I have ever seem, and James Harrison is close with Burfict for the dirtiest player I've seen.

I don't think you can judge Mayfield based on his recent play. He is clearly injured and aggravated his shoulder further on Sunday. The only question is why the Browns continue to play him when they have a serviceable backup in Case Keenum. You would think Keenum would give them a better chance than a injured Mayfield.
Mayfield's MRI came back bad enough he's getting a second opinion. Being that the Browns play Thursday night, it sure looks like it'll be Keenum this week. The Browns are decimated by injuries to major players. Chubb, Hunt now, Wills, Conklin, Landry, Beckham, Newsome, Janovich, Owusu-Koramoah, and Walker are starters who have all missed games, and Mayfield has been injured since Week 2

Rudolph may end up being better than Darnold or Mayfield. Forgot he was in that draft class. I think all 3 are good, but not elite qb’s.
Rudolph is hot garbage. Mayfield is struggling for sure, but Rudolph is bad enough they'd rather play Ben at 60% and $40M this year.

Baker should have took that Allen money right after the savior extended. Baker bet on himself and lost BIG.
The Browns never offered him $40M.

I said all offseason that week 1 was the worst time to play Pitt. They literally got worse the more they played last year and were fully healthy. Since then TJ Watt has missed 2 games, Claypool missed yesterday, take either of those off the field week 1 and the Bills win. The Bills were not as prepared for week 1 as the Steelers, I agree with that. But I do think put that game in week 5 or week 8 or week 10 and the Bills win by multiple scores.
Obviously, you take away their best defender and offensive weapon and that changes everything. And yes, I'd bet on Buffalo 10 out of 10 times now, but my point still stands. You can't say "Pittsburgh had all offseason to prepare for Buffalo, that's why they won" when the exact argument could be made for every week 1 game, and for Buffalo in that game as well.
I hate Pittsburgh, and I wish Buffalo had beat them 50-0.

One frustrating thing about watching the Steelers be terrible is knowing who the damn 1 is.
Buffalo is obviously the much better team, but that's the dumbest argument I've heard in a while. Buffalo had the same amount of time to prepare as Pittsburgh did.

They can always tag him and force it.
Or, he can not sign it until the deadline. They either have to recind or hope they have a partner lined up who will pay Trubisky top 5 money, which no one will.

Nah. He was running and his momentum took him in. That would have been an awful flag.
He put his shoulder straight into his head. It was deliberate.
Both offenses look bad so far.

You may not know, that Ralph Wilson had a "Cleveland Browns Day" at our stadium, every season after the Browns, left for Baltimore.
Ralph also hired the Baltimore Colts Marching Band, for the halftime show @ 'The Ralph', every time that the Indy Colts came to town. (When they were still in our division)
I honestly didn't know that. I respected Ralph for voting no to the move. He and the Rooneys were the only ones to do so. I hate Pittsburgh but will always respect the Rooneys solely for that.
2 hours ago, TheBrownBear said:Crazy! My Lamar Jackson FF selection is looking better with each passing practice.
All his receivers minus Andrews are hurt, and he has no one else to run the ball. If he is the entire run game, he'll be on IR with them in no time.

He has his 2 backups on the practice squad & will probably keep them there until he uses up the callups on Hoyer. He also has Garrett Gilbert on the PS after Dallas let him go.
Not surprising that he has pulled off another legal way of getting around roster limits.
Zero chance Hoyer isn't on the active roster by game day. He's just not cutting players subject to waivers for now. Every team does it.

But you can say that having a better TD:INT ratio but a terrible W-L record means he is better? Again QB is the most important position in football. A good one will make his supporting cast better.
Foles was 3-5 as a starter or playing more than 50% of the snaps with the Bears. Trubisky was 5-3. And he was injured/inactive for that game in which Foles got hurt, hence playing Bray. Again, Nagy will be fired soon.
I didn't say that the touchdown to interception ratio is the only factor. In my last post I said that it was one of many factors. I watched Trubisky and Minshew play several times and to me Minshew is the better player.
I see tons of people post on this board all the time about how terrible Josh Allen's supporting cast was the 1st year and that was a big reason why he struggled so much. So obviously it is a big factor in your play and your development.
Trubisky to me is a dime a dozen quarterback. He's got some legs to him and some physical ability but he struggles when asked to process must information.

Hey just to throw it out there, Cam is available now for a back up QB. So going by your opinions so far about this I would bet you also think Cam is a better back up QB than Mitch also right?
Honestly, I don't know. Cam looks like him arm is shot, so it's hard to say. He used to be able to run a lot, and he can some, but not like he could when he entered the league. Also, Trubisky is a lot younger, so he COULD improve, while Cam probably won't. So younger Cam, for sure, but Cam not, probably not.
You guys seems to think I am saying Trubisky is hot garbage. I'm not. I honestly think he is an average QB at best, and one who won't lead you anywhere good if forced to play much. But that's probably the case with most backups, hence them being backups.

You're nuts. How many games have you watched?
Hooper has been very good. He doesn't put up huge numbers because they run so much, but he is a good blocker and he moves the chains.
Njoku has been good too. His hands are iffy at times, but he offers downfield passing in a TE, and his blocking has improved a ton.
Malik Jackson has been very solid. He's definitely not what he used to be, but he is still an above average starter for sure.
Wills played over half the year on 1 leg. He had a severe ankle sprain in week 2. And despite that, his running blocking was still good, he just struggled in pass pro until it healed up.
Also, Mack Wilson isn't a starter at this point, and even Walker is replaced by Malcolm Smith a lot.
