Who is the healthy scratch for Sunday?

My concern with McKenzie is that he’s too small to block or contribute well on special teams.  We rarely throw to him and he’s more of a decoy.  
 

Since Foster can contribute on special teams as well as run block, I’d like to see him try those plays one week.  
 

I like Duke as the #3 out there.  
 

Honestly, we aren’t hitting on the deep balls and Brown is out there. 


Don’t underestimate the value of being a decoy: the opposing D HAS to keep someone home to protect against him.

Smith is the guy I’d have out as well. I just don’t think that they will.


I believe they value his veteran leadership. 
 

As for his holding penalties, at least two that I recall were completely phantom. With that being said, he’s still a penalty problem/magnet.

foster’s done ZERO this year. I’ll take McKenzie’s occasional contributions over Foster’s lack of any all day every day.

With a capable rushing attack and the rush defense woes, I can’t see Corey Liuget not dressing this week. And while it would blow this board up, I can’t see Oliver not dressing either. My guess is they will dress all five DTs. 
Could Lawson go further into this regime’s dog house and not dress? Could Murphy go from making zero impact on the field to zero impact on the inactive list?

Furthermore, with the inclement weather prediction will they dress three or four tight ends?
I have a feeling, they will only dress four WRs - Brown, Beasley, Duke, and Roberts. Also with a healthy Nsekhe and Ford, they might opt to sit a linemen to get Yeldon or Sweeney active. 

 

Lawson isn't in the doghouse at all...the dude has played well

I am 100% on dressing McKenzie. Jet sweep package is important in calming the heavy pass pressure and pursuit the Browns have. Doubt Sweeney dresses again this year without injury.

I am not generally as down on Smith as I know you have been but actually the tape the last two weeks shows me Kroft blocking pretty well and Dawson (while he has some room to go as a pass blocker) has been a beast in run blocking and has outperformed Smith there. I just don't know at this stage if his blocking is so much ahead of theirs that he is worth a specialist spot.

Especially with the penalties

Dont know honestly. They tend to run alot once they get close to the goaline. He's really only played one game healthy, and the other he was coming off injury 

Well i can tell you: no, he ain’t open and that’s his problem. We have no NFL caliber WRs beyond brown and beasley.

He was open on the TD catch he made. Seems like he is a good guy to have when we're in the red zone.

They have to activate Foster. 
 

if they don’t, who will be on the weekly play where Josh overthrows the bomb by 10 yards? 

Meh, the ball will just hit him in the back of his helmet.
