oh man. the browns gotta love this.. ward and johnson on the field at the same time. it will be like old times .. jesus christ no offense to the pass rush.. but if my theory is true.. the entire defense will take a huge step backwards

you are actually happy with johnson back on this team?

How many top corners are street FAs?

DJ has given many of us PTSD during his last year here but he looked decent in preseason. Best case scenario he's just insurance and he never sees the field on defense and Spoon comes back soon and plays like he was pre injury. If he's forced to play then we have to hold our breath and hope that the pass rush helps him not suck as much.

Are you happy we're 3-0. You guys just love to bash everything. Let me guess we lose 45-3 and finish 3-13 because verret got injured. Oh and I forgot to
Mention the jed York Fire shanny/lynch thread gets bumped. Bashing continues...

What's the zones score prediction? Is it 45-3 browns because verret Staley Hurd and spoon get injured? Yup 45-3 browns and the jed York thread Robert saleh thread and fire shanny lynch thread get bumped. The bashing continues...

A name that gives me confidence for continuous improvement from this secondary going forward (despite the injuries): Joe Woods

That said, need to continue to get pressure on QBs like they've been doing...make opposing QBs as uncomfortable as possible all game long.

Jimmie Ward is going to be a key guy for us at CORNERBACK

Cornerback, FS...he can play any position in the secondary. Ward can play when healthy - he has to find a way to stay health, though. Whatever he's got to do to change his bad injury fortunes...I know only so much is within his control with injuries. When healthy, he's one of the (if not the) best tacklers in this secondary. Hopefully, Joe Woods helps get the best out of Ward so we can see the potential we've continuously heard about from coaches these past few years...they like what they see in a healthy Ward in games, on the practice field, etc.

I know you guys are going to think I'm crazy for saying this but I actually have a bit of faith in Dontae Johnson

From a physical standpoint he fits the system and had a good pre-season

He might have just been affected by the numbers game when Final Cuts came.

Let's see how he does this Monday

But I can completely understand for those of you that are skeptical

I feel like this needs its own thread with Witherspoon out and the uncertainty at his spot now.

Will it be Mosley? Verret? Ward? My guy D.J Reed? A trade for a guy like Chris Harris....

The injury and loss of AW could really hurt us and mess up our whole D, though I'm hoping with our pass rush we should be ok

They lost Witherspoon for a month, not the season. A trade for Harris is not happening.

Hope Mosley steps up. All you can do for now.

Yes u are crazy lol. A guy I really like is D.J Reed. Very good young player. I think he's our future at nickel corner

Let's hope Johnson never sees the field. Moseley and Ward should be ahead of him on the depth chart

Lol

I understand and I like Reed as well but he's not the correct height for playing outside corner that Johnson is

Reed is better suited for nickel or free safety
