**Denver at Cleveland**(-1.5) O/U 40.5...The Bridgewater-Keenum Bowl TNF-Game Thread (6 Viewers)

[rockaction]

And we still have a game if Denver can get a stop. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Oh yeah. Pat Shurmer is the OC. I thought the scheme looked familiar.

 

[renesauz]

Williams is going to clear 15+ in PPR tonight, pretty nice for those who had the balls to play him. Wasn't looking good. 

Really a nice "problem" for Denver to have two quality RB's, but I can't help but question the pick when there are so many other clear needs in Denver

 

[The Gator]

Let's see if we can't get a fantasy day here with a Williams touchdown. 

That'd be sweet. 

Now do Schwartz please

 

[travdogg]

Thanks for the support. 

They really are 1A and 1B and splitting time, and for good reason. If Williams was Jonathan Taylor, it'd be harder to keep him on the sideline, but he's not. 

To be fair, this is about where Taylor was at this point a year ago.

Frank Reich has no problem keeping Jonathan Taylor on the sideline.

 

[VikingFrog]

Of course I’m a Sutton owner. So I’m biased. But I occasionally see this.

Sutton 5/5 targets and receptions.

Why not feed the guy till he doesn’t catch one?

I was thinking both of these thoughts as I typed. I knew I could count on you guys to fill in the thought. 

 

[rockaction]

Now do Schwartz please

Sure. 

Sure would be sweet if Schwartz got open deep for a long score. 

 

[themeistersinger]

This thing is more than a hat rack.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Well if Garrett Boles can hold Myles Garrett twice on the same play right in front of the officials then Jed Wills should be able to take down his guy.

 

[Stoneworker]

Gordon most likely gone next year. I don't question the pick one bit.

 

[renesauz]

nice cut and run, but sure looked like a hold on the left side of that line

 

[Army Eye]

D'Ernest!  OH so close to breaking one there

 

[rockaction]

This O-line and Johnson are carving up Denver tonight. They really are playing with backup LBs. 

 

[rockaction]

Oh yeah. Pat Shurmer is the OC. I thought the scheme looked familiar.

Minnesota memories? 

 

[renesauz]

well great...Landry looks hurt

 

[Insein]

Oof not good for Landry.

 

[travdogg]

1 more first down and that's game

 

[Chaka]

Thanks for the support.

Jonathan Taylor wouldn't have been Jonathan Taylor if Mack didn't go down on his first carry of the season.

Mack stays healthy we're probably talking about Taylor the same way we talk about Javonte right now.

 

[rockaction]

This guy, as Twitter was saying, looks awfully fast for a guy that clocked a 4.8+

 

[rockaction]

Jonathan Taylor wouldn't have been Jonathan Taylor if Mack didn't go down on his first carry of the season.

Yep. I knew there were flaws in the analogy and sort of invited it. Taylor's dynamic and should be used just a touch more, though it's not like he lacks for touches too badly. 

 

[travdogg]

Well, looks like I had the Browns by 3 right, just a TD too high for both teams.

 

[rockaction]

Denver is just getting old fashioned run on. 

 

[renesauz]

I was so wrong re. Johnson. 

 

[The Gator]

Stefanski is a wizard. Lifetime contract please

 

[rockaction]

This is why you save a few duckets next year in FAAB, self. Guys like this win weeks. 

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Can't stress enough the value of fresh legs at the RB position combined with opportunity.  

 

[travdogg]

I was so wrong re. Johnson. 

Kind of makes you wonder if maybe Chubb/Hunt aren't as great as they are thought of. 

 

[Insein]

One more first down and cover city. Don't score the TD Cleveland. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Kind of makes you wonder if maybe Chubb/Hunt aren't as great as they are thought of. 

No, it does not.

 

[renesauz]

Kind of makes you wonder if maybe Chubb/Hunt aren't as great as they are thought of. 

the blocking's been terrific, but Johnson's gotten more then what was there. More then one ankle breaking move, some power carrying guys forward for an extra yard or two, broken several tackles. There's no way to deny that he's looked very very good

 

[Chaka]

Kind of makes you wonder if maybe Chubb/Hunt aren't as great as they are thought of. 

Not really. Let's discuss it when Johnson does it for at least two games let alone for two coaches before Stefanski, or on their second team.

 

[Insein]

gosh darn it. 

 

[The Frankman]

Jesus Christ....

 

[Insein]

DeJ money!

 

[rockaction]

But Twitter already said RBs don't matter, Chaka. Don't you know? 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

It does show two things:

1) A lot is made about the importance of offensive tackles. Having a good interior offensive line is more important.

2) Running back rule #1 - run north and south. It's what makes Dalvin Cook so good and you can tell Stefanski coaches it.

 

[rockaction]

DeJ money!

He went down the play before, too. You still would have won even without the penalty calling it back. 

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Speaking for Browns fans everywhere.

Were is the Elway cam now when we need it?

 

[amnesiac]

Johnson had a heck of a game. give him credit for a lot of effort tonight.

Is he that guy that always urinates on pickup truck decals?

M-m-m-m-monster

 

[travdogg]

I'm just saying OL>RB, Johnson has looked good tonight, and Hunt and especially Chubb always do, but I do think if you were to say, swap places with a guy like Josh Jacobs, Jacobs would look great in Cleveland while the other guy struggle in LV.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Is he that guy that always urinates on pickup truck decals? 

Stupid autocorrect

 

[amnesiac]

Chubb or Hunt would’ve had multiple long TDs tonight though. 

 

[Insein]

He went down the play before, too. You still would have won even without the penalty calling it back. 

Yep. It's why I was upset. Actually had a RB know what to do and then penalty. Was afraid they'd do something dumb like kick the FG.

 

[Ghost Rider]

What a shock that Fangio's defense couldn't even stop the Browns on a 3rd and 7 even though everyone knew they were going to run it.  Every day that clown remains the head coach, the Broncos franchise gets more embarrassing. 

 

[rockaction]

Stupid autocorrect

So no decals, then. 

Naw, Dalvin Cook is awesome. Watching him run is something else. Truly one of the best backs of the past ten years.  

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Johnson had a heck of a game. give him credit for a lot of effort tonight.  

He did and he gets credit but Denver lost two LBers to IR heading into this game and lost two others during the game, so...
