None yet. Been hurt with a Hammy since he’s been here, and we had a bye week when he was signed. As bad as our WR’s have been this season, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him really soon though. And I know how little separation Robiskie gets. But unlike Robiskie our receivers are small and still can’t get and separation. A big guy like Robiskie still has a small window to throw to even if he’s being covered.

He’s not playing well, but he’s young and developing. He came from a spread offense that’s very little like ours. A large part of our passing game comes from a short set pocket, something he’s not comfortable with at all. When he feels pressure around him he tends to tuck and run the ball, instead of throwing the ball from the pocket. In college he was coached to run at the first sign of pressure. He does have wheels and he can throw on the run well, but he hasn’t been taking too many chances once he gets outside the pocket if the play breaks down.
On the plus side, Gabbert is very smart. He’s already calling audibles, and last week he was even calling his own plays for a while. He’s tall, fast, strong armed, very quick release, a leader, hard working, accurate when he uses proper technique.

The owner did say if we don’t make the playoffs this year that the coaching staff would be gone, but he back tracked a bit; and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that Garrard isn’t here anymore. Shoot if it wasn’t for the lack of a passing game, this would be a playoff team. Good special teams, good run D, good pass D, good rb/running game.
Sure you could borrow MJD, but it will cost you 3 or 4 1st round picks. lol

I doth protest.

The Browns have been god awful over the last decade. They stink. We yearn for mediocrity.

the offensive line has the athleticism to be a really good pass blocking line, but they are still better at run blocking.
At LT we have a top 10 pick in Monroe, and he is quickly becoming a very good player. He’s basically erased Dwight Freeney the last couples of time we’ve seen him.
At Center we have a very steady and good player in Brad Meester. I would say he is the equivalent of Jeff Saturday. Very smart and mobile, and rarely makes mistakes.
At RG we have what many in the organization think is a pro bowl worthy in Uche Nawaneri. He’s athletic and very strong. He can play any interior position, but being that he’s probably our best run blocker he’s at RG.
At RT we have a sleeper, Guy Whimper. We picked him up off of waivers last year from the Giants and he quickly got up to speed in a reserve role, but also did really well in spot duty at LT. Originally this position was supposed to held by Eben Britton, but due to a back injury he’s now on IR. There is some debate, that regardless of injury to Britton, Whimper was probably going to beat him out. And for a no name guy, Guy Whimper is very athletic, which isn’t such a surprise considering he used to play LB early in college. I think he might be dealing with a couple of injuries so Sheard might see the QB some tomorrow.
The position that has given us the most problems this season is LG, where rookie Will Rackley from small school Lehigh. So the jump from a small school and position change from LT in college along with injuries to both of his hands have kind of hurt him. But he’s smart, getting healthy, and improving. He basically kept Haloti Ngata invisible when we played the Ravens. I expect by next year he should be a very good player, especially after he add some strength and weight. Until then we haven’t been as good in short yardage situations as we have in recent years.

We’ve been hoping for those kinds of games for years from the likes of Charlie Frye, Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Ken Dorsey, Seneca Wallace… The list goes on…
