So do you feel his conditioning will get better by Thursday to be able to stay in there against Chub and Hunt, who were the only bright spots the Browns had today?
In other words, do we feel that we can hold them under the 132 yards they got against Baltimore, averaging 5.5 and 6 YPC respectively?
I don't see how Atkins will be able to go by then either, and it looks like we need to find a kicker and get them through the Covid protocol in time to practice before then.
Outside of that, should be a piece of cake!
We ran for 157 on Bmore in game 2, last year, so it's not like Bmore are world-beaters against the run (plus, the playoffs against Tennessee).
They are most-likely down Wills for Thursday, Conklin was hobbling here and there (which to me, suggests that he's not 100%) and Hayseed looked terrible like he always does.
Then there's ODB (thank you Brandon Gaudin), who was awful/a ghost today, so who knows?
It's another toss-up game, but we match up to them much better than the Chargers.
