Baker Mayfield's Horrible Insensitivity and Hate, Derrick Willies, Damion Ratley, the Cleveland Browns

Of note in the Browns latest depth chart is the inclusion of FB Joe Kerridge (in a 21/2-back set).

I don't buy it.  The 2019 Browns will rarely take a Tight End or WR off the field to make room for a fullback.

All the same, they seem to like this player, and he is a true fullback.  He's a good Special Teams candidate, and they probably like having that cave man option in short yardage vs some defenses.

I haven't heard much about Kerridge's blocking, but know he wouldn't be here without that skill.

A guy his size can not only lead block, but be very effective in pass protection (from a central point). And Kerridge himself is a good outlet receiver.

In re pass pro and outlet catches, this is another way for offensive coaches to plug a leaky offensive line.

I wish OBJ would shut up.  They sent him to Cleveland "to die"?  It wasn't business?  They had better offers?

Better than Zeitler, Peppers, and #17 overall for you and Vernon, Odell?  Stay away from the Front Office when you retire, ok?

But Donald Trump Baker Mayfield said he couldn't believe that the Giants drafted Daniel Jones high in the first round, and wow!!!

NOBODY could believe that Geddleman would draft a one year starter that high, ok?  

Jones was projected to be drafted as low as the fifth round.  Is ANYBODY but Geddleman not shocked by that pick!?!

All this kid says is that, and everybody is bashing him like he said Jones sucks, Geddleman is an idiot, and somehow they'll probably find a way to blame Mayfield for a school shooting and call him a racist and stuff.

Gimme a break.  Nobody can say a damn thing anymore without the snowflakes coming after him with a fkng gag and handcuohhmmmm....ohhmmm....1 2 3 4 5 6...

I was gone for awhile but I'm back now.  You didn't burn OBJ and Baker at the...ok all is well...

Damion Ratley and (moreso) Derrick Willies really looked great today...

Jeez how can you cut any of these guys?  And how 'bout that John Dorsey for digging them up?

I'm now guessing that Ratley should make it.  He was an actual draft pick, and has Callaway-like (game-breaking) speed.  Unless he gets hurt yet again.

And Willies, because he's by far the biggest target, and different from everybody else.

That would make 6.  Unless they keep 7, they'd have to waive the rest before trying to sign any to the practice squad, and 31 other teams would have a shot at them.

John Dorsey will definitely try to retain at least Strong or Montgomery, since (like I posted) Jarvis Landry is probably leaving in 2020 (money? Cap?)

I'm happy for Rodney Mitchellfield for (so far) holding off Greedy Williams.  

Yesterday, Eric Murray made a couple nice plays, and the DBs in general are rounding into shape.

Murray is kind of a lock because he plays every position and is a key special teamer.  GREAT depth guy.

But today in camp one pundit said Mayfield was especially hot, making pinpoint throws all over the place.

Mayfield is in the Brees/Rodgers/Warner zone in the touch and accuracy dept.  People like Colon Cowturd don't comprehend that this is more important than size, but...well why bother?

Yeah see now Colon restates that Sam Darnold will be better than Baker Mayfield in the long run.

No knock on Darnold, who I think is already pretty good, and will become very good, but what is Colon really basing that prediction on?

First and foremost, his earlier prediction.  Second, the fact that Darnold is a couple inches taller and somewhat bigger...period.

No really.  That's it!  Darnold isn't more athletic or smarter or more accurate than Mayfield.  He doesn't have a stronger arm, and he's not a better leader of men.

The ONLY edge Sam Darnold has over Baker Mayfield is his size.  For that matter, Mayfield is certainly more accurate, may even have the better arm, and is the better throw-on-the-run guy too.

Some people are just impervious to logic and reason.  Nor will I ever manage to keep a straight face when I hear Colon utter the word "ego".

Kush seems to be the top Right Guard, but this aint over yet, and Drew Forbes is making a move.

Don't worry about Kendall Lamm and the other guys.  That's testing/experimentation.  James Campen, as he himself explained, is trying to identify his top 2 backups, each of which must play multiple positions.

Tough call!  I suspect the 2019 Browns will keep 8 Offensive Linemen, because Corbett seems to be the backup center, Forbes was just drafted and has been shining lately, but niether have experience.

I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions.  (But if it ever comes down to OBJ or me, I'm stepping up!)

Okbye
