Packers Browns discussion

[RashanGary]

The Browns play today (Monday) and then have to turn around and play again on Saturday. That’s 5 days to prepare. We should have the advantage with a somewhat normal week and being at home. Should be a W

[Joemailman]

They'll need to have a plan for dealing with Myles Garrett, who will be lined up against Kelly. Jadeveon Clowney is on the other side. Their defense is quite respectable.

[Freak Out]

Is this the official thread?

[Joemailman]

I guess. Even though RG left the word official out. Hope it soesn't come back to haunt us.

[RashanGary]

It’s just a weekly discussion thread. I didn’t know those were official

[Joemailman]

I think we're good.

PREDICT; How many points do the Browns scores on us in Green Bay ? I don't fear much on that offense. Maybe 10 ?

Kind of have to wait who Browns will have available to play. They had 3rd string QB today.

Yo, Professor Rand. Please log back on and give us the 411 on the Dawg Pounds. It’s always nice when a local gives us insider information on their 2nd favorite team.

Tex does that with the Cowgirls. The Kentucky with the Striptease Tigers. Fritz with the Mollies. Sud with the Falconers. Mad with the 69ers. Even the abominable O’Day gives out info on the Queens.

Couple of things:

First, to be clear, the Lions are not my second-favorite team. I can't abide them. When they were reasonably good in the early 90's, the fans were unbearably arrogant and ignorant. I can't tell you how thrilled I was when the Packers went into the Pontiac Silverdome for a playoff game and and shut down Barely Sanders and then won on the final play with that lovely pass to a wide-open Sterile Sharpe.

Secondly, what the heck is going on with the Brownies? Is Baker Mayfield sidelined by Covid, or is he just too busy making commercials to be able to squeeze a game in? And isn't anyone concened about the Browns getting a Chubby on Christmas?

Their defense is also good. I see a tight game, if the Green Bay makeshift offensive line can't hold up to Garrett and Clowney. Both Nijman and Kelly struggle against quick DE's.

I also wonder if maybe they'll begin to work Bakh back into the mix this week. Maybe a few snaps on Christmas Day to get him back into action and give Aaron Rodgers a Christmas gift?

I also hope that the team can get Myers back for the Lions game, at least, to try to get him back up to game speed. Lucas Patrick is okay but misses a lot of Rodgers's offsides calls by not snapping the ball when he ought. And does anyone even know when Myers might be back? Not a word.

Same on Billy Turner. Has the team ever even said what the damn injury was? I thought it was against league rules to withhold such information.

If Baker Mayfield plays on Saturday, given what Harv has said about the guy's noodle arm, I look for another Rasul Douglas interception.

By the way, for those of you who don't care for Henry Black, remember two things: this is only his second year, and we know safeties take time to develop, and Kevin King played horribly as his replacement in the Ravens game. You'd think with King's size he could match up a little with Andrews, but King was just bad. A dollar short and a day late.

Mayfield, along with about a third of the Browns roster, was on the covid list.

Turner was listed on the injury report with a knee. That's all the information they have to disclose. MLF doesn't like talking about injuries.

Douglas and all the DB's need to be more aggressive than they were against the Ravens. They didn't come close to an INT in that game.

Myers was on the practice field with he rehab unit last week. That was the first time he'd been seen on the field since his injury.

Thanks for the updates, Joe. Glad to hear that Myers is working his way back. I'm guessing Turner's got a Medial Collateral Ligament issue. I did see Rasul Douglas close on one pass againts Huntley, but that was about it. Or maybe it was Stokes. The guy can cover. Not great ball skills, but he can cover.

I hope the Brownies get some people back - it's not fun when you're playing against all scrubs.

How many of the 20 or so players on their vid list are able to come back by Saturday?

[HarveyWallbangers]

How many of the 20 or so players on their vid list are able to come back by Saturday?

I would think most are vaccinated, so most of them will probably be back. The return timeline is a little more lax than for unvaccinated players.

[Joemailman]

How many of the 20 or so players on their vid list are able to come back by Saturday?

If they're vaccinated, they can return as long as they have been asymptomatic for 24 hours.

On Thursday, the NFL announced that vaccinated players and staff who are asymptomatic for at least 24 hours can return as soon as the day after their initial positive test from one of the league‘s three options outlined in the memo.

Players can receive two PCR test results that are either negative or produce Cycle Threshold values of 35 or greater. Secondly, a player or team staff member can receive one PCR test result that is either negative or produces CT values of 35 or greater and a negative Mesa test result from a test taken within 24 hours of the PCR test. Both tests can be taken at the same time or less than 24 hours apart.

Thirdly, a player of staff member can receive two negative Mesa test results that may be taken concurrently but must be two separate swabs.
