If DW can improve week to week. The whole SS must play thing could be out the window.

If DW plays close to how he played on Sunday vs Tampa for the rest of the season - the Browns will win a good few games, we won't be blown out in many games and no-one should be calling for Sanders other than the fans who want the Browns to tank for a better draft position. I'm no DW fan - and the wins would be sweeter with less of a scummy individual at QB - but if he gives us the best chance to win, then he should start. Having seens Sanders and Dillon last year and in pre-season, it would be a giant leap of faith to think either is expected to outperform what we saw vs Tampa. . . . Although I fully expect either injury or inconsistent play to force a change at some point in the next 15 games.

Watching the replay of these two is so encouraging

Monken made a statement saying he views DW as a young player because he has missed so much time.

He expects him to improve specifically in more attention to his drops. I mentioned after the first game that he was way too deep.

Monken could believe that DW is the team's best option period.

If DW can improve week to week. The whole SS must play thing could be out the window.

Ya never know because football is a week to week deal.

Jeudy is working his way to #4 on the depth chart. (Behind Bioston, Conception, and maybe Bond) I'm not worried about him.

I think they had a pretty good idea that needed to be done. Thus they drafted a WR in both the first and second rounds. He signed a three year contract extension for 52.5 mil. with a guaranteed 42 mil. that doesn't end until after next season. I don't think you can trade him with him having such a contract considering his current production. I have no idea how much it would cost the Browns to just cut him outright.

We need to replace Jeudy.

'Best MAGA event' in the country collapses days before gates open amid lousy ticket sales

A right-wing festival headlined by Kid Rock and Dog the Bounty Hunter has been canceled.

This year's Freedom Fest, the Northern Kentucky MAGA gathering known for drawing thousands of attendees and A-list conservative speakers, has been called off entirely just days ahead of its scheduled start on Saturday, according to organizer Eric Deters, reported the Cincinnati Enquirer.

"I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again – ever," Deters announced Monday in a video posted on his Facebook page.

The event, held annually at Deters' Morning View farm about 25 miles south of Cincinnati, has previously featured live music, food trucks, fireworks and children's entertainment alongside a lineup of prominent conservative figures, including Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Candace Owens in past years.

Deters has described it as "the best MAGA event, no question." This year's planned speakers included Kid Rock, Dog the Bounty Hunter, U.S. Rep. James Comer, Fox News contributor Joe Concha and Kentucky Republican Ed Gallrein.

Deters said his budget for the event depended heavily on a small circle of wealthy contacts purchasing $1,000 VIP tickets, and not enough of those sold to pull off the event.

"When I put together Patriots Day Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with VIP sales of $1,000 from these 100 people that I interact with on a regular basis," he said.

Only six of those tickets ultimately sold.

Deters, a polarizing figure in Northern Kentucky's political and legal circles, didn't hide his frustration with the donors he'd counted on.

"Rank-and-file Americans are the backbone of this country, (from) both political parties," he said. "I want to tell you something, rich people, as a whole, suck."

Despite the setback, Deters signaled he isn't stepping back from public life. He continues to host "The Eric Deters Show" across YouTube and social media, and pointed to his existing audience as leverage for future efforts.

"With 600,000 followers and 50 million views a month," Deters said, "I know I've got some power and I will use that power for good and I will use that power for the people."

A staunch MAGA supporter speaking out against the 1%. How refreshing!

Agreed. Let's take it a game at a time. It feels good to be talking about a win on a Monday for a change, but it is only one game. We have a long way to go yet.

Baker looked like the Baker that was here. The 'chip on his shoulder" crap is just that. He is a hot head. He lost Evans, that is what killed him. Evans bailed him out on long balls, he looked just like he did here before they got rid of him.

Watson played good, now he will have to do it again. We will see

Yep!

We had guys wide open all day yesterday and - for a change - the ball got thrown to them. Did something sink into DW's head after Monken bashing him over that same head since the spring?

Are the Bucs that bad? They lost to Cincy the previous week and both teams looked like it was the opener.

Quite a few things to like with lots of room for improvement...let's play well again next week.

Boston certainly looks impressive at this point. 52 of those 154 yards were YAC.

How about we give a little credit to our rookie WR's ? The TD to Boston , was ALL Boston ( total 154 yards ) and then throw in KC at 71.. Guys getting open and hanging on to the ball ( A new concept here ) lol

All i will say is this all seems like an overreaction to one decent game

There you go not paying attention again.

So you mean when I respond in kind? Pay attention.

He literally quoted your post. Is your sugar low?

So what he circled the game.

He was so motivated? Who cares?

When you step on the field of an NFL stadium. You play well because the team was prepared and you were ready.

All the BS about "the chip of his shoulder" does his teammates care? Does that help the Oline block or defenders tackle?

No. You are in the moment competing.

Oh, boy. Now we're dissecting the entire post to try to sculpt an argument out of scarecrows and (likely) smart-assed comments.

Didn't read that, never do when you go straight toddler-tantrum-mode.

I said you're right. What else do you want?

Don't answer that... oh wait, you have to or you'll ruin your reputation.

Please show anywhere I stated that.

So that would mean he wasn't concerned with playing "playing good football again" during the rest of the time he has been here?


I made clear it was something that is helping motivate him. Not that he "chose to". Are you trying to say money isn't a great motivator of people?


This isn't the Political forum. Stop trying to turn it into that by getting personal. Usually you manage to avoid that here. So try to keep up the good work.


Or you could try to actually go with what I'm saying instead.


Tell your friend that sadly Monken is already under contract for the next few years. But maybe if Haslam fires him he can follow watson there later.

Stop trying to trash the football forum. I know you have the ability to be better than that when you try.

I'm saying that this being a contract year for watson is a motivating factor. We've all seen it before how players have been known to excel in contract years. You want to turn the fact that I'm stating the obvious into a three ring circus. This isn't the place for that.

[/quote]There is usually a reason someone looks bad and QB's hate the pocket being pushed up the middle more than anything else and the high throws I believe are related to the pocket being pushed back into the QB. How many times did Baker have to escape the pocket yesterday? That is a result of good push coming up the middle.[/quote]

Totally agree, now it is posted, our 'D' was the key factor of Baker throwing long. Not luck, but our 'D'

Nope. Just pointing out he hasn't played much. I can't stand the dude, but he's had devistating injuries.

I would bet he's more concerned about playing good football again than the numbers of his next contract. He certainly isn't choosing to "turn it on" so he can secure another mega-contract.


But it's easier here if you're just right all the time.

So, yeah, we'll go with that. "The Predator" is just playing well so he can make more money.

Do you think he'll "choose" to take Monken with him since he chose him for this job??

Asking for a friend.
