We’ve all had our fair share of gripes about Cleveland Browns LT Jed Wills over the last two seasons, and rightfully so.
But the former Alabama product had been playing his best football of his career lately before suffering a MCL injury against Arizona that head coach Kevin Stefanski said will sideline him for 4-6 weeks.
What does that mean for the rest of the offensive line in charge of protecting Deshaun Watson? Does James Hudson slide in to LT in his absence? Does Dawand Jones move to LT midseason, with Hudson filling in at RT? Does Joel Bitonio slide out to LT, Pocic to LG and Nick Harris to C? Does Andrew Berry have to go out and sign a FA tackle off the streets?
The Browns have dealt with a number of injuries this season but losing their starting LT before Baltimore & Pittsburgh feels especially cruel.
Deshaun Watson threw for 219 yards and 2 TDs against Arizona in his return from injury, but that wasn’t enough for some Browns fans. Is there anything DW4 can do to win over a portion of this fan base, or will there always be a line drawn in the sand between Watson supporters and haters?
Mary Kay Cabot joins the show to preview this weekend’s massive AFC North showdown between the Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.
Plus, we grade the PFF graders who were extra kind to the Browns for their trashing of the Cardinals on Sunday.
Lastly — Stephen Vogt is the new manager of the Cleveland Guardians, just one year after retiring from playing in the majors. Is there any other sport that can have a player that closely removed from the game step into a coaching position? Was going young at manager the right move for the Guardians?
