Going to be a game of backup running backs on Sunday.

It will be difficult for Cleveland to get up for the game with no Chubb

This is false. Their back-up is more than up to the task.. D'Ernest Johnson. He's averaged over 5.5YPC in limited duty..

How effective is a Johnson without a Chubb?

We can't take them for granted. Need to punch them in the mouth regardless of what personnel is out there for them.

By that logic, we should have traded for Mecole Hardman.

He put up 6.6 YPC against Denver when Chubb was out. Cleveland has one helluva O-line. You'd probably put up 4YPC with that O-line.

Chubb out but it’s going to be tough game regardless. The group has got to be ready to go and get back to winning ways at home.

You blew right past two separate erection jokes and stayed laser-focused on the stats. That’s when you know that it is a crucial game for the Pats. Haha.

Cleveland’s OL is elite but I believe that Denver was also missing multiple guys on the DL and a LB that game.

I'd still much rather take our Johnson over theirs. Much bigger and can hit the holes much harder.

Me thinks people are not getting the double entendre here.

I'd still much rather take our Johnson over theirs. Much bigger and better at hitting the holes.

Bigger, and thicker too!

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Johnson had a very effective game against a good Denver D.

Hes no Chubb, but he's very capable.

Must be deflating for them, because Johnson is probably half Chubb only. Maybe he can give Johnson some tips to get ahead.

Johnson had a very effective game against a good Denver D.

Hes no Chubb, but he's very capable.

In two and a half years, he has had 2 games with more that 90 yards rushing. He may prove himself to be “very capable”, just lacking the opportunities, but by that criteria Jonas Gray was a very capable NFL back, too. That is TBD for Johnson.
