    I could be wrong, but Schwartz’s defense seems to have specific attributes needed for their DLine. I’m worried that someone new comes in and say Mason Graham is now a bad fit.

    That is why I would advocate that Monken seriously considers elevating Tarver to DC.  Tarver has been a DC in the NFL before. Tarver might add a bit more of the things he likes, but he is probably smart enough to not fool with terms and the basic structure of the D.

    But that is putting the cart before the horse. We will first have to settle the Schwartz situation. We need to do that quickly.  We have a bunch of assistant coaches who have no idea if they have jobs or not.  This is prime time staff filling season.  Our guys don't want to be in limbo.  They don't want to be stuck on the sidelines while other teams fill roles they might hope to get.

    Yes, Senior Bowl week is sliding past us.  Hopefully Berry's got scouts there evaluating, but it would be nice to have the HC there watching...but he's probably too busy trying to figure out what Jimmuh is going to let him do as far as hiring his own people for positions.

    I hear ya.  I'm guessing at least the scouting staff will be there and maybe Berry.

  • I hope Todd Monken is the guy.

    I hope Shadeur Sanders is the guy.

    I hope Andrew Berry has improved.

    I hope Jimmy Haslam has improved. 

    I just want the Browns to win. 

    That is all.

    Monken's growing on me, like a straight shooter.

    Funny, I just went to post this here.

    Maybe we are winning the off season quietly, long way to go though

  • I miss those smooth round helmets.  Welcome Todd.  One thing for sure is that  he's already familiar with our team...the D especially, from playing us twice a year.  And familiar with the surroundings since he was here under Kitchens.  So that's a head start on things.  But before he can focus too much on the team, he has a staff to fill out.  I'm sure he'll want to know soonish if Schwartz is going to be his DC or not.

  • Sure seems like Monken wants to work with Shedeur. Good sign.

    I wasn't a fan initially of the Monken hire but I'm starting to come around.

  • Not for nothing but Shedeur is there in the coach's first hours in the building.  He's not headed overseas like Watson.  He's there talking with the coach about football, future of the team, etc., etc.  ( I like Shedeur Sanders )

    which is not true, and has nothing to do with what I joked. Do you know who that puppet is from?

    It would be great if the Browns could get on track. It's just that haslam is still the stinking ownert.

    Todd Monken is the farthest thing from a "yes man", but you keep being you. 

    Doesn't mean he's going to be successful, but you keep spewing nonsense that you can't back up. It's why no one with half a brain pays attention to anything you unfortunately post.

    Nate Scheelhaase, the 35-year-old visionary 

    oh really ? I did not realize he was a visionary, Fuck Man, I bet his phone is wringing off the hook from the raiders or cardinals

    Offensive Guru

    There are three reasons why Scheelhaase is the best fit for the Steelers. The first is his offensive mind. As the pass-game coordinator with the Rams, he's worked closely with head coach Sean McVay, offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and star quarterback Matthew Stafford. Together, they've been one of the best aerial attacks in the NFL over the past few seasons.

    That type of experience is worth its weight in gold, especially in a head coaching search. Scheelhaase's keen eye and attention to detail have been instrumental in their offensive success, and that's exactly the type of mind the Steelers need running their team.

    Scheelhaase also has a history of developing quarterbacks. He was a QB for the University of Illinois and still holds the record for total offensive yards with over 10,000 in his collegiate career.

    Aside from himself and helping Stafford sustain his success later in his career, Scheelhaase is also credited with helping develop San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy while at Iowa State University. The Steelers are a team that desperately needs to identify and develop a starting quarterback, and Scheelhaase is the best candidate around to do so."

    And yet the Steelers hired 62 year old Mike McCarthy, didn't they?
