Good morning peoples! Are we bright-eyed and bushy-tailed? No, huh? Let’s get going.

To The Game!

Vikings/Browns:

-I have to say it-this has all the makings of a low interest, low-scoring tilt with two struggling offenses and one above average D.

-Neither team has played the same o-line in any of their four games so far.

-The Vikes will be without three starters there including center Ryan Kelly who is on IR having suffered two concussions already during this young season.

-Not Helping: That moribund Cleveland offense has had 9 dropped passes so far-Jeudy has 17 dating back to the beginning of last season which naturally leads the league.

-Fresh Blood: Here to hopefully kickstart things is rook QB Dillon Gabriel, not the other guy that reporters love talking about. Gabriel, the angel of revelation and good news in some tome whose name escapes me at the moment, says that he likes to use his, “legs as a weapon”. That’s something that was far beyond Old Man Flacco’s skillset. So look for the Browns playbook to open up a bit with some RPO action and rollouts. By the way, he’s the 12th signal-caller to start in Stefanski’s six seasons. (he’s been around that long?)

-The Browns have scored all of 56 points this season and have put 17 or less on the scoreboard in nine straight.

-Thankfully they have a stout D that has allowed a mere 2.9 ypc so far this year. Only twice have they let a ball carrier run for 9+ yards so far. That’s incredible.

-So if you’re in my boat and have to start Jordan Mason or Mason Jordan, well, best of luck and here’s plenty of dump-off passes!

Do your thing.
