the other day one of the guys on 92.3 brought up the question of the Browns all travelling over the bye week and the possibility of having players on the Covid list this weekend. it may have been Lima.Anthony Walker and Jamie Gillan put on the COVID list.
Yesterday or the day before, think you're right about Lima mentioning it. They did a segment or two on it.they don't appear to have another punter.
do they sign one or do they have McLaughlin punt?
does the place kicker normally serve as the backup punter?
dang that totally slipped my mind.Yesterday or the day before, think you're right about Lima mentioning it. They did a segment or two on it.
Guessing they just grab somebody, I don't think McLaughlin punts. I gotta think you can find a punter fairly easily. Probably of more importance is the holding duties on extra points and field goals. Gillan handles all those.
Case Keenum...c'mon down and earn that $6mdang that totally slipped my mind.
can you imagine losing the game on a bad hold? ugh.
hopefully they'll be so far ahead a missed extra point won't matter.
can you fake an extra point and throw for a 2 point conversion?Case Keenum...c'mon down and earn that $6m
i like it. at least he's actively been playing.Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Browns are signing veteran punter Dustin Colquitt, whom Atlanta released this week, to their 53-man roster.
PFF College Football@PFF_CollegeOne small glimmer of hope is Blake is being replaced at RT with rookie Chris Hudson who struggled in TC, the preseason, and early in the year when they trying to find a replacement for Conklin.
Over the past 7 games the Browns have scored 0 points in the fourth quarter.Over the last 6 games the Browns have scored 0 points in the fourth quarter.
ZERO!
We've only scored 3 TDs in the second half of the last six games with Baker Mayfield throwing 1 TD.
The Fan just said they are in "enhanced COVID protocols" now and pushed Stefanski's presser back due to "testing". Guessing somebody tested positive yesterday or today.IG: JosinaAnderson@JosinaAnderson
I'm told #Browns personnel were informed this morning they'll have virtual meetings today due to CoVID-19 "positives." The team is still expected to practice later, at this time. This after the NFL had its highest number of player positives yesterday, since the pandemic started.
-----------------------------------------------------------
A little unclear if the 'positives' are from last week or new cases.
Not good.The Fan just said they are in "enhanced COVID protocols" now and pushed Stefanski's presser back due to "testing". Guessing somebody tested positive yesterday or today.
The NFL said that barring a government mandate they were not going to do that this seasonThe league needs to postpone this entire week of games. Covid rampant. Silly
1. Just waiting for him to test positive too since he and Baker are probably in close proximity to one anotherwhat about the 6 Million Dollar Man??
I think the Browns need to do whatever they can to win this game.1. Just waiting for him to test positive too since he and Baker are probably in close proximity to one another
2. He wasn't particularly great in the game he played with a decent OL and full compliment of weapons, what's he going to look like playing the JV's?
3. Yes, he is the guy and I'll be in his corner, just don't think we are going to see a positive result here. Unless the defense steps up and wins the game.
most likely outcome is the Browns forfeiting this game if there are more positive tests.The NFL said that barring a government mandate they were not going to do that this season
I'm not against this childish response to the current situation.I think the Browns need to do whatever they can to win this game.
1. Find out what hotel the Raiders are at and have some locals keep them up all night partying.
2. Bake some X-Lax cookies and leave them in the visitor's locker room.
3. Put Tiger Balm in their jock straps.
Unfortunately this looks realisticmost likely outcome is the Browns forfeiting this game if there are more positive tests.
i'm glad the players don't have your attitude.Should be 10+
Wouldn't shock me if some of them do.i'm glad the players don't have your attitude.
ok, i'm curious.Wouldn't shock me if some of them do.
Besides, what I think the line should be doesnt mean that's what I think the outcome will be.
Too many key players out and coach out all at once.ok, i'm curious.
why do you think the line should be +10, and what do you think the outcome will be?
fair enough.Too many key players out and coach out all at once.
I think raiders will have a 20 point lead at some point in the game. Not sure of what the backdoor score will be.
Not sure what ur drivin at herefair enough.
so if it’s like 24-13 late in the game the people who bet on the game would still be watching?

The NFL is considering a protocol tweak that would allow vaccinated, asymptomatic players who test positive for the coronavirus to return to team activities sooner, sources say.
------------------------------------------
... Currently players who are vaccinated and test positive have to either have two negative tests in back-to-back days, or sit out the standard 10 days.
Currently the Browns have 11 starters on the COVID-19 list, so this would significant news for the team. Welcome news at that. The change would only help those who are vaccinated, but are not having any symptoms.
... With NFL team’s seeing some of their worst outbreaks the league will have to make slight changes somewhere so that the season can go on with no threat of stoppage.
If this will have any change that affects the Browns the league will have to act quick. Cleveland will host the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday evening with upwards of 20 individuals out with COVID-19.
that you're probably correct about where the spread should be.Not sure what ur drivin at here
but what's the proposed change? one negative test?NFL might make rule change that actually makes sense?
Whaa??? NFL proposing sensible rule changes?
Report: NFL Considering COVID-19 Protocol Change The NFL could soon change protocol for vaccinated individuals with no symptoms.
That rule change still makes no sense.Bracie Smathers said:NFL might make rule change that actually makes sense?

Scott Petrak ct@ScottPetrakno Clowney or Garrett at practice?
are they saving them from a freak injury or are they just ####### with us now?
I would assume with confidence fully vaccinated players who show no symptoms would be false positives.That rule change still makes no sense.
It doesnt matter if you are vaccinated or not, once you have Covid you have Covid.
The rules for return should be the same for vaccinated or unvaccinated.
i believe RG and LT from last week are out. however, last week there was a replacement RT from the week before that. he seemed to do OK.Brown aficionados - how many OL from last week are expected to miss this week? Any decent depth behind these guys? How do you feel about trotting Chubb out this week (and many of us will be starting regardless)?
Last year we had one stretch of positive tests that later were reported as false positives.
