Let's talk about the Browns

Hopefully Jameis Winston is in the giving mood. I mean giving the ball to our defense.

It’s supposed to rain most of the game, especially the 2nd half. Andy run the ball.

Yes, rain can generally be considered to favor offensive linemen in football, as the slippery field conditions created by rain can make it harder for defensive linemen to gain traction and effectively rush the passer, giving offensive linemen a slight advantage in protecting the quarterback.
Key points about rain and offensive linemen:
Improved grip:
While the field becomes slippery for everyone, offensive linemen often have larger hands and can use their grip to better control their opponent's movements in wet conditions.
Reduced pass rush effectiveness:
The lack of traction for defensive linemen can make it harder for them to generate quick bursts and power to get past offensive linemen.
Focus on running game:
In rainy conditions, teams often lean towards a more run-heavy offense, which puts more emphasis on the offensive line's ability to create space for running backs.
However, it's important to remember:
Severe rain can be detrimental:
Heavy rain can also negatively impact offensive linemen by making it difficult to maintain balance and footing, potentially leading to penalties or fumbles.
Skill still matters:
Even in rain, a skilled defensive lineman can still use technique and leverage to overcome the challenges of a slippery field.
Knowing the Browns owe Deshaun Watson 46 million each of the next two years is also a disadvantage

That’s awful weather to be out in. Like a cold shower non-stop.

Imagine playing for the Browns. Have to be in that weather playing for nothing.

I wouldn’t bother going to that one as a Browns fan.

Of course. Shit weather. Shit city. Shit team. No LT., Myles Garrett. It was always going to be this way. Lots riding on the game. Chiefs must find a way.

He gave it away until they wouldn't let him give it away anymore.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns have reached a contract agreement that will lessen Watson's cap charge in future years while keeping his fully guaranteed $92 million intact, sources tell CBS Sports.

The adjustment, which is technically an extension by adding a new year to the existing contract but no new money, is intended to help the Browns field a competitive roster for 2025 and beyond. Watson has $46 million due to him over the next two years to complete the $230 million contract signed in 2022.

As some of the Browns top players like Myles Garrett and Joel Bitonio have publicly questioned the immediate future of the team, this deal signals Cleveland has no intention on pressing the reset button.

The deal also provides the Browns with an easier, less financially painful path out of Watson's contract following the 2025 season should the team wish to part ways with the quarterback, whose status for the beginning of next season is unclear as he recovers from Achilles surgery.


The Browns acquisition of Watson has been considered by some in the league to be among the worst in league history. In March 2022, the Browns traded three first-round picks to the Texans to acquire Watson, who then signed a $230 million fully guaranteed deal over five years.

The Browns and Donks should console each other before signing washed up QB's next time

It spreads the cap hit over another year?
