The 2023 season film studies. Thread of questions and answers.

Like I said, Jed is playing like one of the worst in the NFL.
Early on you were a backer of his....back when I was saying that it appeared that he had it written in his contract that he need only play football for three and a half seconds per snap. So, it saddens me that you're now saying that he's playing lousy...because I know that you don't want to have to say that...so he must really be playing badly.
That said, we've got one more draft to come with no 1st round pick....and that's pretty much where starting LT's come from. And if our Tackles are going to continue to struggle (although there's hope that the rookie playing RT can improve during the year) then we quite possibly will have a new GM & HC drafting the new LT.
As some of us have learned over the last 24 years of our reincarnation, you cannot just throw any 5 fat-asses on the OL and be successful. They're not a dime a dozen. They indirectly control how good your millions of dollars 'skill position' players can be. You can't pass without protection and you can't run without holes.
If the Tackle play doesn't improve, this could be another long and painful season. And this week's opponent already has 7 sacks while next week's opponent has 8 right now. I mean, what can ya do? Put a blocking TE on each side of the line to help each Tackle and go empty backfield when you have to pass?

I'd hardly say I was a Jed 'backer'. I'm realistic about play - his wasn't elite, it wasn't even great to above average... it was average. And the NFL average time on snap to throw is 2.72 seconds, so Wills blocking for 3.5 is overkill. I'm being cheeky and a bit literal, but you get my point.
Either way, I don't *want* to have to say any of the Browns players are doing poorly; We have a bottom 5 LT situation and it's actively hurting this team. Even if Jed was playing average, maybe even slightly above average, that is all our OT situation needs to be and I wouldn't be so critical. But that's the reality of the situation.
It's well known I have a love/hate relationship with PFF, but their line grades are pretty solid. Had to look them up to see if I was the only one giving Jed the bad marks. Turns out, they see it too.

I don't have answers on how we move forward addressing the position short of available free agents or trade.
I've also floated out moving Jed back to the right side, but doing so in-season can also mean absolute disaster. Because we can't just pick up and move Dawand to the left in return.

Thank you.
The "Jed only blocks for 3.5 seconds" Orion posts always made me chuckle. I always wondered how long he thought pass plays took to develop. ?
But we get your point, Orion. He needs replaced.

God forbid the QB moves around in the backfield to buy more time. According to Jed's contract, the QB is on his own at that point.

Dagger.
I asked for efficiency, I got it.
Asked for a slow build to chemistry, I got it.
Watsons ball placement slowly rounding back into form.
27/33 289 8.8 2 0 3-26 123.4. All of that vs a quality defense.
Eyes starting in the right places.
Aggressive call late to Coop to bury TEN, showing trust in your QB to deliver late.
Every thing I asked for today, I saw.

Oh, right, bets.

- Watson O 20.5 comp
- Raiders -2.5
Looking ahead to Birds -4.5 v Bucs

You should have asked for Selena Gomez doing a strip tease in your bedroom, silly goose.

Jessica Alba, 42, left the church when she played a role of a woman with gonorrhea of the throat.. and people she thought were her friend stopped simply because of a role she played. Side note: There was a paper showing that gargling with listerine significantly reduces the chance of catching that. The more you know.
She also married a guy named Cash.

Oh dear lord, I would not have a problem with that at all.
But she's gotta be like what... 45 or 50 now?
What's odd, is I don't remember anyone asking you a god damn thing about dropping age numbers here ?

I looked it up, she's only like 42.
I'm sure she's still lovely in all the right ways.
Maybe she had a beautiful mother ? Eh ? Or she just was a hot babe and took good care of herself ?

A lot of babies are nice at 42. Some more than others.
She's older than 42 for example. Taken a few years ago. (below)

I kind of like moms all of a sudden...
