Yeah, there will be a third for the evening game. Look who has too much time on his hands/is ignoring chores! Here’s a few things that caught my eye.
-Much like teams obeying The Rooney Rule but in reverse, I think Vrabel interviewing for the Jets job is a “going through the motions” sorta thing. He strikes me as having a bit more integrity than that and who the hell but a first-timer or re-tread would want to work in that toxic organization? You would have to watch your back when Woody’s kids are on Spring Break.
-The field in this Liberty/Buffalo game looks “Cleveland Memorial Stadium in the 80’s” bad.
-The Panthers linebacker DJ Johnson was concussed the old-fashioned way-in a car accident. Asked to comment he said, “I never saw that airbag coming”.
To The Game!
Browns/Ravens:
-The initial 18.5 spread has ballooned to an even 20 because the Ravens need this to win the division and Cleveland is sitting some of their “talent”. Starting QB Bailey Zappe was more than a little pissed when the film he was given to prepare for the game was a copy of The Expendables.
-Feeling Like Preseason: Some of the folks you may see on the field today includes the likes of Jamari Thrash, John Kelly Jr., Brenden Bates and James Proche!
-Zappe holds the distinction of being the 40th starting QB for the Browns since 1999.
-His counterpoint Lamar has a chance to finish the regular season as the highest rated QB ever. He’s sitting at 121.6 and the record is 122.5.
-Lone Bright Spot: Myles Garret is tied for the league lead in sacks with Trey Hendrickson. He’s the very first dude to have 14 sacks in four consecutive years.
-Just in Time: Baltimore’s lackadaisical pass D is finally coming around-they held Houston scoreless last week.
Enjoy.
