Hooker had the same number, and % of missed tackles as Nick Emmanwori who is one of the best run defenders in the NFL in the secondary
His tackling is fine for the most part, his angles are not
Well, he definitely stopped looking and started running before he was stripped.
Not even tucking the ball. Anyways his running isn't a strength.
He looks slow whenever he runs. He looked kinda slow on the play where he got injured last year. He looks about as fast as Mahomes at best and I don't think as elusive. Mahomes mainly runs when there are huge running lanes bc they are scared of his passing ability. Running makes sense in that context but I definitely wouldn't want to see them making a habit of it.
I'd definitely take running vs that dud throw he tried to deliver to Tate. He has these amazing throws then head scratchers like that one. It felt like he was basically throwing the ball away
Look at the pics beside this thread. In college, he raised up his expensive watch after big plays. The NFL probably told him to quit. SO, he just raises his arm with the wristband. His father is famous for pointing at the GL and running back TDs. So, like father like son.
He'll most likely start game 2, then sink or swim. If they lose because of him, the show's over. The Browns have sucked for a considerable time. The fans want some kind of excitement, even if it's a showboat QB. What have they got to lose?
If you remember the Nashville fans boo'd Steve in the home open. He did a McNair trademark. Hurt and drug off the field. He stretched out his back and when he reentered the game. BOO!! Lots of Titans fans didn't like him because of the style play the Titans ran with him QB'n. Plus, this is Nashville. Steve won them over by his play on the field. I remember Frank saying, "Duh, in the huddle we couldn't figure out why they were booing."
