Mac had an ankle then. I really don't want to see him sacked and hit since he can't move as well as Zappe. Bring him back at home versus Chicago on MNF
I would feel perfectly comfortable with Zappe in this game. Mac didn't hit 200 yards against the Browns last year; he was not asked to put the team on his back.
Bring Mac back against the Jets he should be well healed by then.
Not I expect clarification from BB/NEP but do we have any idea on the severity of Mac's high-ankle sprain? There were rumors of surgery but that seems to have abated.
I think the is a Rham or bust Offense going forward Defenses respect his abilities... so we will have play-action at our disposal. Whether it's Mac or Zapppe they just need to manage the game and protect the football.
You forgot the biggest difference from last season's game... Chubb and Hunt are playing this time. If individually or combined they have a big game then it's going to be real tough on the Patriots. It would require Stevenson matching their effort, which is possible. I don't see a big game from either quarterback (Brissett or Zappe/Jones).
Are you ready Dave? Are you getting on that bus with us, because we're starting to roll!!!!!!!!! Come along for the ride!!!! Let's goooooooooo!!!!!!
You're right, I did forget that. Probably means significantly more than 7 points this time around for Cleveland.
Parker had a big day vs the Ravens which skews the stats, otherwise he has done not much else.
Really Mr Giveth and Taketh away:
Agholor won us the Steelers game and cost us the Ravens game. Based on his contract yeah he should be giving us much more than he is now. Tell him please keep his turnovers we can do without them. I Think one more on field Turnover and he will be ridding the pine for the rest of the year. Tre Nixon is looking good on the Scout Team.
I doubt he'd sit Mac because he wants to see Zappe.
Well, when @NYJ is probably your "toughest" opponent until Thanksgiving then things are looking up for sure. Ultimately the merits of the season will rest on the final 7 weeks. But in the interim I agree there should be plenty of opportunity for pumping up the tires.
That's if you're discounting the costly fumbles. Agholor beat up on a really bad secondary in Pittsburgh.
Meyers -Parker - Thornton and Bourne is an upgrade.
I thought Michel was the right pick of the 2. Calling him Chubb's backup their final year is pretty misleading. They had similar production, with Sony being more efficient and looking like the better dual threat that would better help our offense. Problem was bad knees, quickly losing his burst, and never integrating him in the passing game. Meanwhile, Chubb is a beast.
I thought Chubb was the best of the two it was close but Chubb would have been my choice I thought he was the better runner out right. Also it's said that Chubb carried the football more @ Georgia maybe BB thought that he was getting the fresher RB.
