You struggle defending DPJ. Not OBJ, I mean Donovan Peoples Jones. 3. You struggle defending our run game. David Njoku can have random monster games if your LBs are weak. He’s inconsistent though. You guys should win. We’re injured as hell. 1. Whilst I think our struggles in Pass Pro are a tad overblown, we can't pass block on 3rd and long, a situation we find ourselves in frequently. So struggling to block (maybe) the most complete pass rusher in the league is a definite possibility. 2. I guess it depends on who is throwing the ball. I do have some remaining faith in our Secondary, though. 3. We've been awful in Run Defense the last 3 games. No coincidence we've lost all 3. Re: Njoku - both of our ILB's are out for the year. That said, I'd expect to see a Safety covering him, with a bit of Sterns (big Dime) and Nickel CB (Callahan) thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) No Chubb, no Kareem, no Jarvis, no JOK, Baker is hurt, and we might not have Conklin and / or Wills. If you guys lose, it’s time to tank. Edit - Jarvis Landry *might* play. Edited October 19, 2021 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Baker will play. Landry & Wills are huge game swingers (and yes DPJ is a bigger mismatch than OBJ year 1 post-ACL).

We badly miss Jarvis. He’s been Bakers safety valve since Bakers rookie year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Keenum is starting for us. So this game should tell you guys a lot about your team. If you want your coaches gone, perfect game to lose lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It doesn't change the gameplan at all, really. Stop the run, force 3rd and long. Stay out of 3rd and long on Offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose the battle, win the war. It certainly does change this from an easy W with Baker/Landry/the T's back to now a much closer game, though.

jolly red giant Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think once again we see the Fangio/Paton Broncos exposed - But I'll again be optimistic and with the Browns struggling with injuries I'll go Broncos 24 - 23 (just like I did last week and I would be surprised if we end up with the same result as last week).

broncofan48 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 We all know how this ends: Denver actually looks decent against a very hobbled team and then no changes get made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I hope this isn't revenge game for Keenum. Or, maybe it should be. But with the Broncos not having any ILBs, I think Keenum can eat a bit. I think Lock should probably start . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bMiller031 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This will probably be the worst offense we will play all year (including JAX, NYG, NYJ). Hoping I’m wrong but I think we pull off another misleading W, 20-16 Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know about Conklin, Wills, Jarvis, and OBJ. Tretter is fine. He’s just banged up. To say that's an exaggeration is an understatement. Losing Baker and having Keenum is a 3-6 pt swing (about 2-3 pts in Vegas terms). So it's significant. But putting those 4 on the list if they play, that would still put CLE ahead in my books. But I had the Browns winning 30-20 before with Baker. This becomes more of a 23-20 / 24-20 type deal, and obv. the Broncos could pull it off. It's pretty dire though when a team loses their starting QB and both RB's, and best ILB, and yet the team is still a favorite (yes, we've lost our ILB's, but if we lost both RB's and Teddy and had our T's / next 2 WR's questionable - we wouldn't be home faves lol).
