ET80 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Pleasure doing business with you, again. Seems like our deals work out well for everyone involved - Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb, Denzel Ward and (eventually) 2020 3rd round pick. Price is a bit high, but Houston is looking to get an extra 3rd from Tyrann Mathieu going to KC (maybe even another one from Kareem Jackson going to Denver). So, a mitigated cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a good player. Running backs are so devalued that this seems like a lot but it's still an important position and he does everything well so it should work out if the Texans O-Line can do their job. If nothing else he can catch 70 passes. He is powerful for the type of player he is, not extremely quick or he would be a pro bowl type player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you will hear nothing bad about Duke from Browns fans. I hope he works out for you. He is a really good receiving back and very illusive. He has gotten much better at blocking too. Hopefully he can show off when hes not behind Chubb and Hunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass catching is the big one - QB coach Carl Smith is drilling it into Deshaun Watson that he has to get rid of the ball quicker, and the best way to do that is to flip it out to a RB. With coverage dictated so heavily to DeAndre Hopkins, Duke will have some room to move in. I like this trade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deshaun is going to get himself killed if he keeps waiting for receivers to get open and try to hold onto the ball as long as he does. If he gains that internal clock he will be dangerous and a much lower injury risk for you guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo, and Duke will make that development come along MUCH quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsey is a freakin magic man. I thought a fourth round pick was great value, now it will most likely be a third round pick.

Not denying that. But can't Lamar Miller catch passes out of the backfield. I don't argue that I REALLY like duke and hes a great pass catcher, but is he 3rd round pick better than who else you could have in the draft, especially considering hes the 11th most expensive RB in the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His role is to serve as the two down guy. He CAN, but the team prefers to split up that responsibility to keep a guy fresh. Miller will get the bulk of carries and a few targets at RB. Duke will get the bulk of the targets at RB and a few carries. If either gets hurt (they sound similar in that respect - they don't miss time, but they get nicks and bruises) the other can absorb the carries or targets. If I can get another Lamar Miller for a 3rd round pick, I'd take it. 8 minutes ago, CBrownsman said: I don't argue that I REALLY like duke and hes a great pass catcher, but is he 3rd round pick better than who else you could have in the draft It would be contingent on who we'd get in that 3rd round pick - and the Texans will have two other 3rd round picks with the comp picks earned from Tyrann Mathieu and Kareem Jackson's departure. It would be NICE to have all three, but two + a pass catching RB is just as good for this team (especially considering one of those picks would probably be used on an extra RB - one who might not be as capable as Duke). 8 minutes ago, CBrownsman said: especially considering hes the 11th most expensive RB in the NFL Ok, this one might sting a bit. Team control for the next three years is nice, but didn't know he made THAT much. But ...with $40mm in cap space, it's not a killer situation. Just kinda bad.

Well the 3 seasons prior to last year, when duke was catching 61/53/74 passes the browns QB were sacked an avg of 56x. I don’t think duke is going to be a savior of the sacks. I know Watson is better than any of those QBs he played for over that time, by a wide margin but Duke wasn’t making his living just being the safety outlet. A lot of his catches, were off of designed plays and routes for him Edited August 8, 2019 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
