    . Our D played lights out last year, just to reach that level again will be a task itself. So we may be worse by default.

    so they gonna triple team Myles ?

    I gotta say, it was quite a thing to watch our final two opponents last year, Steelers & Bengals, play TOTALLY SCARED of Myles.  So I guess we could say the Myles cost us Fernando Mendoza.  🙂

    It will be interesting to see how things go down in next year's draft regarding us getting a QB, because if it doesn't go well and Mendoza ends up being a very good starter, we are going to curse those last two victories.

  • Pretty optimistic.  New coach, new players can lead to a new attitude and focus.  The division seems weaker.

    Why not?  LOL...ok, don't list the reasons.  

    If we can get off to a decent start and not dig a hole right off the bat, again, why not? I think the schedule release will matter.  When and in what order we play teams can make a big difference. The Browns are at a teetering point between being pretty good or pretty bad.  Getting our identity established early will go a long way towards the final outcome.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    All we need is good QB play.  Which requires good play from the rest of the offensive units.  The defense is good enough to support a good offense.

  • I am as optimistic  with Watson as QB as I am in seeing the original big Chuck and Little John show return

    depends on if they want wins or development as the highest priority.

    LOL! Unfortunately the drive times likely include the 3 and outs.?

  • I have the same level of optimism about the 2026 Cleveland Browns as i have optimism that the internet will bring about a human utopia in 2026. 

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    "Vegas oddsmakers have set the Cleveland Browns' 2026 win total at 6.5, with most books favoring the under (-120 to -175). Despite an elite defense, concerns regarding the offensive line, quarterback stability, and a difficult schedule have led to expectations of a 6-11 or 7-10 season. Some analysts suggest betting the over."

    Fuckit, I'm taking the over ???

    Axe-actly!

    I have a feeling the OL is going to end up being a pleasant surprise once they get some chemistry established. Let's just say I'm thrilled with the overdue attention the FO has given to upgrading the OL after all of the X's and Uh-O's from last year. One of the incoming vets - Tytus Howard was a 1st round pick/talent that has played well at OT & OG. This was a GREAT acquisition that also brings some leadership experience. I could see him at RT or either OG spot. Aside from that, this will be the 1st year Dawand Jones will be able to see his toes from a standing position when he shows up to Training Camp 50 lbs lighter. There's going to be some good competition for starting jobs on the OL within the blend of vets and the 3 rookies they drafted.

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"
