Tribal Chief Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Falcons not buying the Browns easing in Josh GordonConor OrrAround The NFL WriterThe Browns would like everyone to know that they'll ease Josh Gordon into their offense.Problem is, no one is believing it.Falcons head coach Mike Smith (now in first place!) expects Gordon, the NFL's best receiver in 2013, to be an instant game-changer for Cleveland's sputtering offense now that he's returned from suspension."Absolutely I do," Smith said, via ESPN.com. "They've stated that they want to get him out on the field as quickly as possible. And he's a game-changer. He's a guy that with the ball in his hands, he can make plays. So we're anticipating that we're going to get a full dose of him this week."Smith was already talking about having his best cornerback, Desmond Trufant, used in a possible shadow role on Sunday.While it might be surprising to see Gordon explode right away in a completely different offense, he still has a rapport with Brian Hoyer and he's still one of the most explosive receivers in football.If nothing else, he's going to start freeing up some opportunities across the board, which should make for an interesting second half in Cleveland.Ideally, if Gordon could help take some of the pressure off the Browns' struggling run game, Hoyer could get back to being the quarterback he was during the team's winning streak.

likeriver Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Matt Ryan has to step up and out ball Hoyer. It's the only chance we've got. Edited November 18, 2014 by likeriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiscoFalcon Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Julio better show up this game, or Haden will take him away, and we are f*cked. I have a feeling the offense puts up 25+Let's go get it boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS91 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Cleveland's D-line is beaten to **** right now, so if we throw a bunch of PA dump offs and WR screens again this weekend I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papachaz Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I smell a shoot outactually this one has more possibilities of smelling like the OK corral, just the corral, not the shootout part.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only chance we've got.Not the only chance, but I agree we should have a definite QB advantage at home over the next 2 games.

Dirtybird56 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I forgot how TATF works. If the opposing QB finishes with a better stat line then he is the superior QB right? And it's all in a vacuum, there's no other variables that affect QB performance?Got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
