Rich Eisen Weighs in on the Browns’ Expectations for Nick Chubb & Deshaun Watson This Season

just saw this tweet from Mary K kabat wanted to put it out there you talked about Nick chub as your top five uh comeback play of the Year players obviously coming back from that devastating uh knee injury from last season she said just watch Nick chub running full Sprints after practice cutting with tremendous agility it was remarkable we weren't allowed to film it but Jimmy Haslam Brown's owner watched the whole thing and looked very pleased so it appear and we saw the video what was it last week two weeks ago of him squatting like 8,000 PB it seemed like feels like Nick chub is all the way back let's go let's go that's awesome let's go great news great great news you know and and um that's what more needs to be said other than the fact that if this guy comes back not only is it something that he's uh he deserves but I'm sure earned with hard work and Blood Sweat tears that we're we were not privy to and uh again uh what we saw last year from their running game without him will only serve to make them strong or down the depth chart this year and maybe ease him in back sooner and early but we all know Chris what it's about we all know it's about Deshawn Watson and can the Watson that caused the Browns to acquire him despite his off field baggage and giving him the guaranteed contract that apparently was necessary to get him to change whatever other plans he may have had uh when he was up for abbs and other teams were interested in him and wind up in Cleveland can that Deshawn Watson show up and show out um he did I would say um in Baltimore last year when he balled out in that win that the Cleveland Browns had in Baltimore that uh shocked a lot of people just a by happening and then B the news happened to you know began to seep out afterwards oh yeah um he's suffered a significant shoulder injury that uh is going to cause him to miss the rest of the season it's just like wait a minute that guy who is running and throwing and and and was the typical uh quintessential Deshawn Watson um that guy the one I again I I will never forget uh the first Thursday night game of of of his career it was the first game of his career if I'm not mistaken his first start of his career and um and for the for the Houston Texans and we were in Cincinnati and um and the Texans were starting them even though Bill o'ri started Bill O'Brien started him if I'm not mistaken Chris you want to look this up I shouldn't be trying to jog my memory when I'm a little bit Co hazy right now but um if I'm not mistaken Tom Savage started the year for the Texans for some reason and then DeShaun Watson started the next game which was a Thursday night football game in Cincinnati and they had no time they had no tight ends and they didn't have any T like I think some tight ends were playing tackle or something CRA didn't you have like a 60 yard touchdown or something and then he ran one in from Midfield yeah he was having trouble you know operating the offense as one would think a rookie would do you know in a short week and not having and having a banged up offense uh up front in front of him uh but he ran one in from Midfield yeah he had a 49 49 yard touchdown run it was breathtaking we were sitting there on Thursday night on network exactly well I was just like that's the kid yeah that's the kid and at the time for for real people were like why would the Chiefs not trade up to take him and take the kid from Texas Tech at the time I'm telling you at that point in time in in life people were like why would did you because this is the guy I would think that Reed would want to have like this is a a guy that has a McNab type game well he went with a guy who has a Favre type game and a McNab type game together but long story short here is it's about Deshawn Watson and can he returned a form and they wisely got uh Amari Cooper situated a contractual to his satisfaction and if the en joku that was balling out with uh you know comeback Player of the Year Joe flacko shows up this year and Nick chub can do what he can do Sky's a limit for Cleveland 100% division winner going deep in the playoffs if Watson shows up like that Miles Garrett is grim reaping and crossover dribbling and all that um no doubt catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
