2020 NFL Draft, Pick #10 - Jedrick Wills Jr., OL, Alabama

[Douglar]

I wonder rather he sit as opposed to playing a week 2 game against the Texans at home

I expect >60% of the plays to be running plays against the Texans, so why not test the depth?

Team is prepping James Hudson to start at LT if Hubbard can't go...

 

[Phills14]

Not that Hubbard is any good but why can't he go?

 

[Douglar]

Hubbard is injured, Tricep.

This week in Browns: Tyrod Taylor returns to Cleveland; a less-than-ideal situation at left tackle

Baker Mayfield has nothing but praise for former teammate Taylor. And James Hudson or Blake Hance will likely start at left tackle.

That makes the left tackle spot the one to watch when combing through this week’s matchups. Waiting on the other side will be Texans defensive end Whitney Mercilus, a 10-year vet with 55 career sacks (and one of the coolest names in NFL history). The Browns feel good about the guidance left guard Joel Bitonio and center JC Tretter can provide whichever young player ends up starting at left tackle, Hudson or Hance.​

​

“James is getting better,” Van Pelt said. “He is definitely an arrow-pointed-up guy. All of the work he has put in already from the day he got here (for) rookie minicamp; he has had one-on-one practice with (offensive line coach Bill) Callahan and (assistant offensive line coach Scott) Peters. He is going to continue to get better. He is a guy who I am excited to see, if he does get a chance to play this week, to see how he responds to a real NFL game.”​

​

Hudson played mostly right tackle in the spring, but left tackle was his primary position in training camp and the preseason. He was a college defensive lineman his first two years at Michigan, so he’s still learning every position he tries. Hance made 12 starts at left tackle in his final college season at Northwestern. That was his primary college position, though he also played some at guard. Hance filled in at guard for the Browns during last year’s playoffs, and last week was his NFL regular-season debut. He spent most of his first two seasons on various practice squads.​

Unlease the stache.

I know he only played 20 snaps but PFF grade him higher then Wirfs, Thomas, and Becton overall. Pass blocking he was 1 and run blocking 2 behind Becton. Hope this continues.

Unlease the stache.

Looks like he's the guy if Wills/Hubbard can't go. Soooo preferable to Hudson.

I saw his name pop up on the front page.. couldn't resist. Is Jedrick a common name in the US? wtf?

Probably more common in Eastern Europe.

 

[Douglar]

I think the eastern European name would be pronounced "Yay-Drick" instead of "Jed-Rick"

Hope he’s alright

I've watched this several times and can't figure out how he did this without holding. That ref is right there staring at him doing it too. (not to say refs get shit right though)

 

[Douglar]

Lol! At first he looks like Matador dodging a bull, but the end, he's a Gymnist doing floor exercises in the 350+ division.

A guy beats him cleanly inside and then decides to just "mysteriously" slow down and start drifting back outside.

Arm bar to slow him down

Bear hug to slow him down more

Side step and push him in the back to knock him off balance....also hold hand up to say "I'm definitely not holding this guy".

Get back inside him and push him in the back and hip check him one more time.
