This one appears to be free...
Agree with most of his points but I worry about our smallish defense against the Ravens run game that can and will set everything up going between the tackles and getting 7 and 8 yards consistently. That is what makes Lamar’s zone keep deadly and as result of that you get WR open downfield on single coverage or busted coverages.
You have to limit the Ravens between the tackle plays to 2-3 yards to have a chance.

I still think the best way to beat Baltimore is to jump on them early, and make them play from behind. They are not a team built to stand back in the pocket and pass themselves back from a deficit.

Jeff Howard – pass game coordinator/defensive backs
While I can see the synergy potential... this combo puzzles me a lil bit. Seems like two awfully big jobs...
The current staff seems pretty strong, albeit with a lot of names that are less than household ATM.... but such was also the case with Bill B's back back when he was a pup in the 90s. And now they are all widely known. I'd settle for Stef's group doing half as well.
So far Stef just seems like a great guy to work for... a great administrator/delegator/mentor(?) who has more than his share of Xs and Os command... and an eye for personnel to boot.
And to think we could have had him a full year earlier...
... at least he was still available the next time around.
If DePo does nothing else in his Browns' career, I'm good with his HC choice... and his GM to boot.

And to think we could have had him a full year earlier... Might very well be lucky we didn't. Dorsey was still here and Berry wasn't.

Yeah, DePo was on Stefanski from the beginning. And so far he and Berry are a very good match. So, NOW.....we want the continuity. NOT while we had the dumb fucks. Not continuity for continuity's sake. We want the continuity when we have the RIGHT guys. Like...now would be good.

Terry responding to espn on Baker Mayfield ... (Yo! _itch-tits! "That's my QB")

Was about to post the same article...
Terry, as is the case with most of us here, agrees that Baker is not among the league's elite, "put-a-team-on their-back and-ride 'em-all-the-way-to-the-playoffs" QBs. He's just not willing to penalize Baker for being the beneficiary of Stef, a very good OL and a run game as do some Writers/analysts.
Cool thing I see in Baker is he can throttle it down when a game is going well or mash the pedal down if the game calls for that. We've seen him win both ways... and a win is a win.

I feel Joe Wood's future as Browns DCoordinator could very well be tied to his ability - or inability - to get the most out of JOK.
It's often said that good coaches are the ones who are able to change their way of doing something to the talents of his players, i.e. "not trying to force a square block into a round hole".
Will Woods find ways to exploit JOK's rare athleticism? Will Woods find ways to hide JOK's weaknesses?
That will be a fascinating story line to watch in 2021.

last year with some lack of talent(LB) players hurt delphit williams harrison players missing games because of covid (COVID) its self I thought woods did a good job as D.C and do not understand why some think he is on thin ice
Stafanski hired him for a reason and so far I believe he has nailed it with his coaching staff so to steal from aaron rogers R E L A X
side note: allready 110 out it's crazy ass heat here in the N.W it's never been this hot in june 5th 100 degree day so far mixed in with a bunch of days in the 90's

Because the D wasn't good last year. The reasons don't matter to the 'some'.
...and repeat after me, Global Warming is Fake News.
It should matter, because Woods was hamstrung something fierce last year.
Between a general lack of talent, and injuries specifically to the secondary, he was put in a tough situation.

Oh yes the offense, defense, ST, coaching and of course the quarterback leadership all work together in the success......or lack thereof.....of the team.
Let's hope 2021 is another step up in winning the AFCN.

“When you turn on the 2020 tape, it’s clear that Mayfield is a quarterback you can win with in the NFL, but not necessarily a guy who can carry a team on his own.”
I think this is a fair point. I also have no idea why this is such writing so small. Anyways, I don't think Mayfield is an elite QB, but he's trending up and seems to have taken well to Stefanski. Plus, he's very durable. -
Like myself...for those that *have not* seen? this from espn...
I agree with Baker betting on himself..When hasn't he?.. what I don't agree with? ? Is the time frame of MKC, *maybe October* Zona comes to town with the hardest part of the schedule on Oct. 17th & after... We should know where Baker's focus will be.. the FiNisH!

vette its africa hot out there
There's this Trump guy at work who agrees that scientists don't know what's causing global warming, or if it even exists. I told him that he and Trump should go down two floors to the geology dept and have a professor show them the ice cores. They clearly show the increase in carbon levels in the atmosphere starting in the 1800's alongside the Industrial Revolution, and those levels steadily rising through to today. - Scientists know that we did it. (there's other ways that they know that we're the main cause of climate change, the ice cores are just the easiest to explain)
.......and now back to the, 'Baker is a system QB' theory.
