If Dawson isnt healthy, can we put him on the IR and sign one of the other kickers?

It´s nice that Rob Ryan would be the big man, and take the blame for the loss. In truth, I would doubt whether he can.
It´s also merely fashionable to allude at an obvious connection between a pass completion further down the field, and a pass rush up front. I say, long passes are never feasible, no matter what you have going on up front.
We can thank our lucky stars, the Broncos didn´t exploit our speed weakness with the outside linebackers and our size and strength weakness with the cornerbacks, to the outside. Thank God both teams agreed to pretend plays outside the offensive tackles aren´t possible. Once again, I don´t think it´s a mystery that Bowens and Wimbley aren´t speed freaks, and that McDonald and Wright aren´t exactly show stoppers in run support, as small as they are.

How can the PD publish a sentence like this:

The loss of Dawson would be huge because he’s been so good against the Ravens.

My emphasis added. Maybe because he’s good, period.

Stop the confessions, and coach some sound second half defense!!

If the D doesn’t spend the entire game on the field they should be just fine. The Offense is sabotaging this team even more so than the D’s inability to force a 3 and out.

I’m really, really and I mean REALLY nervous about all these injuries cropping up all the sudden. It smacks of a silent strike. Is Mangini losing control of the team? I’m sure not many of them want to be involved in the drubbing that most are predicting this Sunday. I know this is really a brazen statement after 2 games but I don’t like what I’m seeing here. I can imagine what it would be like if you think you are going to get drubbed by a team. I played tournament soccer once with a bunch of teams that were way better than our ad-hoc bunch of oldsters. After our first game in which the other team basically toyed with us the whole time, it was pretty difficult to take the pitch against what was an even more difficult team. Overall, it was a good experience but it would have been a lot more difficult had it been my vocation and on national TV.
This team needs something to build on. Even a few good scoring drives would provide some kind of foundation. Strategy for Sunday on offense should be what caused Baltimore difficulty last week and that is the pass. Passing short, passing long, screens, slants… everything. On defense, continue to play the run tough up the middle but I don’t know that we have a complete answer for a team that runs well, distributes the ball to 7 or 8 receivers while passing and doesn’t make big mistakes.
We need some luck (ball to bounce our way) and some players to step up and establish themselves as worthy to play in the best football league in the world. It is now that we will see what the character of this iteration of the Cleveland Browns is going to be. Harrison, Quinn, Elam, Mack, Massaquoi, Wimbley… among others… let’s see what you got. Show us you deserve to be here.

J.Lewis out; is a blessing in disguise. no stutter stepping or pita…patting. Hopefully, J.Harrison and J.Davis will be able to run outside with their speed.

If he plays this is how he seperates himself from them men or the boys
