00:03
- But Nick Chubb is your offense,
00:04
at least until Deshaun Watson finds anything close
00:08
to the form he had in 2020.
00:10
But DRS, I don't think that version
00:12
of Deshaun Watson is coming back anytime soon.
00:15
A devastating injury for Cleveland as an organization,
00:19
a devastating injury for Nick Chubb.
00:21
Because back in college, DRS,
00:23
when he was tearing things up for Georgia,
00:26
in October of 2015, he played in a game against Tennessee,
00:29
suffered a devastating gruesome knee injury
00:32
that thought that he was going to be done playing football.
00:35
That was Nick Chubb and how he evaluated that injury.
00:37
He worked his way back.
00:39
He was drafted in the National Football League.
00:41
He became the highest paid running back
00:42
in the National Football League.
00:44
As Donnie said, maybe the most pivotal running back
00:46
for an offense in the National Football League
00:49
to only suffer another gruesome knee injury last night.
00:52
As Kevin Stefanski, the head coach in Cleveland,
00:54
confirmed after the game,
00:56
Chubb is out for the remainder of this season, DRS.
00:58
A huge blow for the Browns
01:00
after such a strong start week number one in Cincy.
01:04
- Yeah, and you're right.
01:05
Your points are valid on Deshaun Watson.
01:06
It's not as if you just hand the offense over
01:08
to Deshaun Watson and say, "Let's take controls,"
01:09
which is that's what's going to happen.
01:11
You sort of shook it off last year.
01:12
Oh, the other Jacoby Brissett offense last year.
01:15
So it was hard for Deshaun Watson
01:16
to take over for Cleveland.
01:18
After that, that was ridiculous.
01:19
But we bought into that and said, "You know what?
01:20
"Give him a clean off season where he can come back."
01:22
You saw him again, number one.
01:24
Yes, they won the football game.
01:25
He still played poorly in that game.
01:26
Oh, well, it was a little bit rainy
01:28
and Deshaun said he was gripping the football
01:30
a little bit too tight.
01:31
And that's why he was off target.
01:32
What's the excuse last night at this point?
01:34
You gave away two touchdowns there for yourself
01:36
going the other way,
01:37
which cost your football team the game.
01:39
22 of 40, 235 yards, 5.9 yards per attempt.
01:44
That's not good enough.
01:45
And an embarrassing QBR of 16.5.
01:49
Again, you could be a 16.5 QBR
01:51
when you're a fourth round pick
01:53
getting forced into game time action
01:55
when you're not ready to play as a rookie.
01:57
As a seasoned veteran who was playing at an MVP level
02:00
to get that much money,
02:01
and this is what we're getting here.
02:02
And also, you can't say,
02:03
"Well, last night he didn't have his top wide receiver."
02:05
No, Mario Cooper played last night.
02:07
Seven catches, 90 yards.
02:08
There's no excuses across the board.
02:10
His play has been underwhelming since he got there.
02:12
And next year, did you know, Ben,
02:14
$64 million cap hit for Deshaun Watson.
02:19
And based on the injury he saw from Nick Chubb,
02:21
I'm sure we'll probably get Dr. Chow on
02:23
a little bit later in the week.
02:24
Who knows when he's coming back or if he's coming back.
