The upcoming Browns game, 11/6/2011

I can't imagine Cleveland being too much of an obstacle. They have even less offense than Jacksonville does, it seems.

Andre will play when he thinks he is healthy. Obviously the training staff helps him be informed, but this is an injury where it is really up to him. I know he mentioned weeks ago that this is not the kind of injury where coming back too soon is going to cause further damage (remember it is not the muscle, but the removal of scar tissue in the hamstring area). So he is working with recovery from the surgery, closure of the incision, and range of motion after the procedure. He is not dealing with a hamstring problem that can be aggravated like Foster was.

Andre also made it clear Kubiak had made his long term health priority one and put all of the decision making power in AJ's hands. He used that power to hold himself out last week in a judgement call. So he will play when he feels good. Not one minute earlier. So I don't think we need to hope for a cautious approach or worry about who they are playing. We can just be confident that Andre will play when he is able.

And I think we will roll Cleveland either way.

Cleveland may not have much of an offense, except for Colt McCoy, but they have a fairly high rated defense. We'd best not take them lightly.

Wish AJ would get well.

Oh no, definitely not. Any given Sunday and such. But just comparing them to Jacksonville. Same sorta team and they don't even have a RB that can do some damage like MJD.

Yeah, I heard Cleveland's Peyton Hillis would be out another week. Good omen for us, although we have been tough on the run and the pass this year. Thank you Mr. Phillips.

Yup Hillis is out, so I think OB/GYN will be starting. Solid back, but not a world beater.
