Deshaun Watson Off the Field Thread v3: 11 games, $5M

[CBBI]

I don’t know what to make of this truthfully. I thought the guy would give a perfunctory 48 hr waiting period and then rubber stamp what Goodell wanted. It has been an entire week now. Maybe he really is wrestling with how to be fair.

More likely IMO...

Harvey and the NFL have already made up their minds on what the punishment will be if they are unable to come to a settlement with Watson and the NFLPA and they're just holding off on announcing it in the hopes of negotiating a settlement.

Satan at Red Rocks would be cooler.

Satan can’t hit a curve ball

Not sure when he said this. Just now I guess?

that's more contrition than we've heard from the Houston Texans so far...

It's good that he finally said something along those lines. The beginning of a different strategy, hopefully.

Agreed.

I know he can't admit guilt while things are ongoing, but that was about as good as it could've been. He appeared sincere.

 

[Mr. Orange]

I’m sure he wishes he could take the first quarter back too.

Nothing can replace game reps. Not playing for a year, plus all the off-field shit, is going to get to you.

It's just preseason. It doesn't matter. But I'm also expecting Watson to need a little bit to get back into the groove once he returns to the field.

$20 on the Browns ML at plus odds.

Other than the first throw, I thought he looked good. A couple balls off Schwartz chest, penalties, and a fumble did us in.

where did this interview happen? This looks familiar

Not me. I thought he was horrendous. He could barely take snaps from center without fumbling the ball.
