    Well not too long ago I predicted a winning season. But now that Ford gets back in the picture because of Judkins' BS, back to the same ole Charlie Browns. Lucy done pulled the football on us once again.??

    Yeah it's hard being positive. I don't think it's going to be as awful as last year, as long as they are able to run the dam ball.

    Sometimes Stefanski gets way to pass happy.

    And he makes bone headed calls at the least opportune times... I still expect this regime to get canned by mid season...

    It's the timing sometimes that makes one scratch their heads...

    I'm not talking about last season, that abortion of a season was Ken Dorsey's offense, but the four seasons before I would bet that Stefanski ran the ball percentage wise as much or more than just about any team in the NFL. People would complain that Chubb didn't get enough carries, yet he was always at the top of rushers in carries.

    But there are moments where it really didn't feel that way. Stefanski definitely can get too cute at times.

    People, regardless of the enterprise, organization or event, tend to overwhelmingly focus on that *one* thing out of 10.  

     The Browns under stefanski have been 3rd, 4th, 6th, 12th then finally 29th in rushing last season when the wheels finally came off. 

     Fans are fans, and they're passionate. But the overwhelmingly majority are idiots too, being too emotional in their critique of how they see the game.  Hense the complaint about Chubb not getting 30 carries every game.

    I would say they have to win at least 9 games to keep their jobs.. Jerome Ford will probably be hurt by the 5th game of the season... They better hope Sampson can carry the load and that Judkins gets his head out of his ass.. After whatever suspension they give which will probably be 6 games I suspect. I understand it is preseason but Chubb has been looking good in Texans camp.. He's showing burst albeit against guys without pads on..  Which makes me sick to my stomach.. I'm so sick of Jimmy, Depo,Berry and Kevvy..

    The Browns have been through 3 offensive coordinators with Stupanski as head coach. Rees is very young, little NFL coaching experience. Likes more pre snap motion, two te sets.

       Does not matter - Stup is still a head coach with far less coaching instincts it seems to me, compared to other coaches. He just seems to be stoically bewildered on the sidelines all the time. 

       But the haslams - they are awful. Too bad the Browns didn't have great owners, but it's their history. 

       and depodesta - I wish he was an illegal so he would get deported.

    and, of course, Stupidski will be calling the plays. That's a sad thing. Maybe Rees is a brilliant young guy who can change the offense enough to be effective and make stupidski not a dragdown on effectiveness of the offense.

    But there is some good news - the Browns have signed an UDFA for RB ! since judkins is in serious legal trouble..... His name is Toa Taua !

    I think there is nobody who predicts that the Browns will move up dramatically from last place. Just seems dismal for the Browns again.

    I think fans forget that Stefanski actually wins games vs the Ratbirds, Steelers, & BenGals.

    Do I think he's fantastic? No. But he is the best coach they've had since the restart. He's learned to not gamble on 4th down so much, for example. 

    I do think there's crap behind the scenes that he puts up with, so I suppose he is a "yes man," which is the biggest negative.

    Ya know... I choked on my Ginger Ale reading that little nugget LOL!..... But yeah.. My sentiments exactly... Exile him to the CFL at least..... Rees intrigues me a bit... I understand he's no nonsense and is tough on the players... Very demanding... Kevin at least from my perspective seems like he wants to be everybody's chum... I cracked up the other day when I saw a snippet of him cheering on the guys at camp urging them to keep practicing hard through the heat... They're getting paid millions.. Why would they care.....  As a fan I feel like I'm sitting on a sofa with a phone in my hand waiting on hold for the next regime to come in... I have 0 excitement for this team..  I wish jimmy would get busted doing something stupid so the NFL could strip him of team ownership.. I laugh yet throw up everytime time when I see JW Cooper being interviewed... He just comes off as a clown to me... And to think.. If Jimmy and Dee suddenly cease to exist.. I think he winds up controlling the franchise... Or the Daughter does... I'm sure someone here knows more about it than I do... But the prospect is scary...

    Yes, by a hefty margin.  And he & the GM get along well with one another.  We should want these two to succeed.  They're not embarrassments like we've had.  

    And with the FO being aligned with DePodesta, the analytics playbook has to be deferred to.  Like, screw the FG - Go for it on 4th down.  Not into 4 yard runs - want 13 yard passes.  And then there's Jimmuh & Dee...   It ain't easy being a Browns coach.

    That may be, but it it like saying smelling a half a cow turd is better than smelling a whole cow turd in a pasture. Stupanski is bailed out by the terrific defense and coordinator.

       Any time he is interviewed, he's boring. At least Rees has a chance to influence some ways the offense "works" under Stupanski.

    Maybe...

    Thank you for that cow analogy Calf.

    I like Stefanski. Easily my favorite HC since the return. He is a little dull in interviews, very matter-of-fact, but he knows his stuff and more often than not he puts a competent team on the field. 

    The guy’s been put through the gauntlet with the Watson debacle. He was saddled with a #1 QB who has been unavailable more often than not, which means he had to rely on multiple QBs to cobble out wins the last few years.

    I really don't care about interviews Cal. BB gave the worst interviews, he did pretty well. 

    Like I said, they finally have a coach who can game plan for divisional opponents. 

    I think it would be foolish to can him. If anybody deserves to be canned, it's DePodesta ( two tank jobs). 

    Go Browns
