Tale of the Tape - Browns vs Ravens
-
Are you implying that a professional athlete chose the team he wanted to play for based on what team offered him the best contract?
THIS MOST LIKELY HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! ?
I remember listening to one of Watson's college coaches on an interview call with The Fan radio. It was a few days before he signed with us. His coach basically said that Cleveland has absolutely NO chance at getting Watson. That he absolutely HATES their winter weather and would never go to a team that has that kind of weather.
And then the next day it was announced that Cleveland was out of the running for Watson and that it would be New Orleans or Atlanta.
And then the NEXT day it was announced that he's a Cleveland Brown. I was like, What the hell caused that? And then I heard about the fully guaranteed 230 million reasons. Just another mercenary.

Some of us would never relocate no matter the money involved. I have to think it may have been a factor but definitely not a deciding factor. Atlanta, Carolina or anyone else actively pursuing him has to go on the road too and play in lousy weather.
And there is No amount money that I’d take to go and live in places like El Paso, TX., St. George, UT, Pittsburgh for (obvious and not so obvious reasons) or a region like central PA. Right before I moved to Southern California I almost relocated to Scranton, PA….it was Youngstown Ohio…with no family and subpar Italian and polish food and some of most worst pizza I’ve ever had. No offense here if I named a locale anyone resides in…to each their own. California can be lousy too

Michael Scott: Guess who just ordered from your favorite pizza place, Alfredo?
Kevin: Wait. Alfredo's pizza cafe? Or Pizza by Alfredo?
Michael Scott: Same thing. [everyone groans] You know what, I don't understand when you all talk at the same time!
Kevin: Oscar, talk to him.
Oscar: Michael, there's a very big difference between these two pizza places. Both in quality of ingredients and in overall taste. Which one did you order from?
Michael Scott: Pizza by Alfredo. [everyone groans] All right, you know what? Okay, okay. What is better, a medium amount of good pizza, or all you can eat of pretty good pizza?
All: A medium amount of good pizza. -

Yes, but you get to go home after the game.

.... St. George, UT, Pittsburgh
My oldest son & his family live in Houston, holy crap is it muggy down there.
My middle son lives in Phoenix....HOT!!
Both are good places to visit in the fall/winter though. I couldn't live there year round.
St. George, Ut...gateway to all those National Parks, what's wrong with it, I'm curious.
Pittsburgh, yeah. My sister has lived there since 1987. Married a Steeler fan & all their kids are Steeler fans, hate the Browns.

Once again, late in the season with nothing to really play for. Lots of guy going down so this will be a time for somebody to step up and maybe we can find another diamond in the rough. As i said before I have already made my mind up about Watson, not going to panic, even if he comes out and throws 5 interceptions( would be unfortunate but). I'm going to give him the same time I gave Mayfield, all I'm looking for is improvement which I believe we will see. This is like his pre-season, if he comes out at the start of next season and stinks then I will be concerned. If he stinks 8 games into next season then I will panic.
Players aside, I want to see improvement out of the coaching staff. If these guys can't show any kind of ability to make adjustment then I say shit can them all and just hope the new guy doesn't gut the roster. The biggest thing holding this team back aside from injuries are these morons. I mean, Stefanski showed so much promise when he got here and then suddenly turned into the Pat Shurmurs/Romeo Crennels/Hue Jacksons of season's past. I mean what the hell??

Do you sometimes this season get the impression that the coaching staff knows they are getting consistently outcoached, so that is why they do so many head-scratching moves in some kind of "let's compensate for being outcoached by outsmarting the other team!" act of desperation?

I'm not a big fan of the calls where people say, He's a genius if it works. Just make a smart call. But I DO remember having that feeling when Brian Dabol was here. I felt like he was staying up late to come up with a 'creative' play each week because the media & everyone else wanted to run him out of town like a common pigmy. (I'll refrain from posting Leslie Nielson and the Police Squad clip)

I sold water purification technology into industry and science/medical facilities in the Pittsburgh area for 12 years of my career.
Great people, very similar NE Ohioans, just a different region. Also played a lot of music in the area. They treated me like a king.
However, geographically, the metro area is the gloomiest fucking part of the world I have ever been to. There are no parallel and perpendicular roads. The hills can make a 4 mile drive to get 1/4 mile from where you are.
Pittsburgh really is a fucking shithole.
Lol....well I was a mover for 14 years before I became a fireman/paramedic. Pittsburgh neighborhoods all seemed to be on a hill. You had to carry stuff uphill all day long, nothing's flat except the kitchen countertop.
It's not really a bad city, some good eateries. I just can't stand the dreaded Steelers. D'Anoias is my favorite restaurant there.

Kevin Grandheer@NFLGrandheerBrowns HC Kevin Stefanski on Deshaun Watson "there are a lot of things Deshaun does better than Jacoby which makes it difficult to call plays."Wtf kevin does this mean??

That's as bad a quote as our secondary coach saying that the Bengals losing two of their starting receivers "made it harder to defend their offense".
I'm just done with this entire coaching staff.

I think Stefanski outcoached himself at times. Like the TE screen to Njoku that worked the first time for minimal yards then got blown up a couple of players later because the LB recognized it. I think it was Lavante David in the Bucs game. As athletic as Njoku is and the only way you can try to get him involved is a TE screen?

If this wasn't our favorite team - this stuff would be hilarious!
Now I have one of Baker's male cheerleaders trying to educate me about how terrific Matthew Stafford's backup QB is in between cartwheels... If McVay can get that kind of production out of a backup QB - just think would he could do with Watson.
I have to admit, one thing I wasn't expecting was to see our defense playing as well as they have in 3 of the last 4 weeks. I don't even think were playing that bad in Cincy; if our Special Teams didn't rough the Punter after our defense forced them to punt deep in their own territory.

Then again, the Browns defense started slow last season, then played well down the stretch too.
This year, they started in reverse and stayed that way for half the season, with virtually the same defensive roster. You are correct in saying that Woods was hamstrung when he was given such a bad interior DLine, but how completely lost the secondary was is on him.
Really proud of how the Browns played yesterday. A lot of teams would have rolled over and died in their position.

it isn't a matter of "male cheerleader", it's a matter of facts.
Baker, after week 14, has a higher qb rating than watson.
btw, both watson and Brissett have tremendous advantage with Amari Cooper. Two threads of Baker bashing, and some guys on here can't handle telling facts about Baker because "he's no longer with the team".
Right.
McVay can't teach watson how to have character and love the game.
That is watson's downfall, off the field.
He will never be the face of the frachise. For a lot of folks, whether or not he succeeds with the Browns
won't matter as much as it would have, if the Browns had a true leader at qb.
