Deshaun Watson OUT this Sunday

[SoulfishHawk]

Just heard the announcement that Massage Boy won't be playing this weekend. P.J. Walker getting another start.

Browns starting PJ Walker at QB vs. Seahawks with Deshaun Watson working through shoulder injury

The Cleveland Browns will start backup quarterback PJ Walker for Sunday's game versus the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Wednesday. Deshaun Watson, who is still working through a shoulder injury suffered a month ago, will "focus on

This should help our chance of winning.

I’m not so sure the way deshaun has looked

Up to our offense.

Is this a good or bad thing? We’ve seen the talent Watson has, but that was a couple years ago. Been pretty bad since his allegations and trade.

and 4 quarters of big boy run defense

They beat the 49ers without Watson.

Anecdotally, our record against backups kinda sucks.

Regardless, we'll need to bring our A game Sunday, maybe our A+ game. I just hope our O-line can come together. Too much roster churn there.

I wanted him to play. Was looking forward to someone blasting that POS. Worth the 15 yards.

So, you think guys will be "competing" to make the top of the penalty board?

It's just a board

Seahawks have that game film. And, their students of film study can make good use of it.

Yeah I was texting a buddy if it would have been better to play Watson who is playing crappy and has a bum shoulder vs a healthy PJ Walker?

I think the storyline is will the offensive line hold up to the Browns passrush. Will the Seahawks D feast on PJ walker.

Both teams will probably have to run the ball more. Whoever has the least turnover will probably win.

Geno is way better than Walker so we should win this game.

I know, I know, we always seem to put up a nose pincher against backups, but this guy hasn't really done much of anything statistically. He has won 2 games, but I'd say that has far more to do with the rush attack than his arm. Our run defense has been stout. Obviously Nwosu being out will make this game a huge test to see if we can keep that up, but I think we can and if we do, I'm not really afraid of what PJ Walker's arm can do to us.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

This game is gonna' be an old-fashioned Snot Knocker

So true!!!

 

[Seahawks Guy]

I never get excited when an opposing team suddenly has to play their backup QB against my team. Seen them shred us up too many times, both college and pro.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh, just win the game, which they will.

We're a better match-up for the Browns than the Niners. This game will come down to whether we can block Myles Garret. If we can, It'll look similar to the Cardinals game.

PJ Walker is not good.
