Wait, is that Minnesota Vikings attire ??? Yes ! In 2017 Kevin Stefanski was the Offensive coordinator for the Vikings . The Vikings went 13-3 and Case Kennum led the offense on a magical ride. Fast Forward to today...Stafanski is the Browns Head Coach who brought in Keenum as a free agent to the Browns. Keenum provided a safety blanket for Stefanski if Baker Mayfield got hurt or didn't work out. Stefanski remarked about Keenum :
"Case is somebody that’s seen it all and been through it all in his time as an NFL quarterback,” Stefanski said. “The experiences he brings can be great for our team as a whole. He knows this system having played in it under coach (Gary) Kubiak when he broke into the league in Houston, and obviously I have experience coaching him with the Vikings.
“I’m really excited about bringing Case the person into this group. He’s the son of a football coach, he’s a grinder, he’s a gym rat, so I think he’ll fit perfectly into the mentality we’re trying to build.”
Last week in the look ahead line The Browns were -6 and the total was at 44. Both teams are very banged up and now Baker Mayfield has been ruled out as well as Browns starting RBs Chubb and Hunt. The weather forecast is now also for wind and possibly ran. . So the current line sits at Browns -1.5 and 40.
Odell Beckham is also out for the Browns but the Browns get back Jarvis Landry at WR.
The Money is clearly streaming in on the Broncos . But the Broncos are also banged up . Teddy Bridgewater gets the start but has a gimpy foot and the Broncos 2 starting inside LBs are out on defense. Both teams sit at 3-3 but a deeper look makes the Hedgie wonder if the Broncos are a fraud. The opened the season 3-0 and garnered a lot of media attention however those 3 wins were vs the Giants , Jets and Jags.
The Public remembers this past sunday watching the Browns get blown out at home in an embarrassing loss and now sees Baker is out....
The Hedgie believes in the Stefanski / Kennum duo and thinks this is the perfect spot for a scrappy gym rat at QB to get a home win in the wind and rain on a short week !
When asked if he was Ready for tonight Case said. "I feel very ready. I've been ready . You don't have to get ready if you stay ready , and i've been ready since I got here "
When asked about tonight's game The Hedgie said "I'm ready to lay some cash on Case"
