2026 Run The 9 thread. Your Offense, Defense & Personnel Analysis.

That Giants team is exactly why I was banging the table for the Browns to invest in another high pick at DE opposite Myles from the year after they drafted him.
Remember, apart from Strahan, the Giants next highest pick at Edge/LB was 32nd overall (Mathias) the rest of the roster was late 2nd and middle 3rd round picks (Tuck & Osi)
I think we all agree that pass rush is paramount. But not even the Gmen invested 2 high picks into their group. (High being subjective, I suppose)

True, but at that point a second rounder from the Browns would have practically been a first rounder.
For most of Myle's run in Cleveland the other DE was a collection of JAGs. I just wanted one above average pass rusher on the other side of him.

Going to miss having an all-world pass rusher.

Like I've said, for me that 2nd pass rusher really needs to come from the IDL or a player who can take snaps Edge/IDL. Having a great, not even elite, presence at that spot only further elevates the entire fronts game. We had a complete pass rush last year before Collins went down and it was arguably the best in the NFL. I'd like to see the draft capital distributed evenly to keep that going.

Follow-up with more about how Coach Schwartz kept his familiar 1hi shells but worked in additional/different functions to them.
While I'm skeptical, I'm also hopefully Hickman can carry this momentum into the 2026 season.

Coming soon to a Browns Defense near you...

My youtube seems to think all I want to watch is tia's competitors.. In addition to tia's content, these may be decent channels. Matchquarters probably has the most content.
MatchQuarters , Thinking Football , Armchair Coach Justin , Caleb Merritt , L. Seth Storer

I'm familiar with the first, not the rest. That said, I wouldn't call any of them, or people who put their passion and knowledge of the game into content my "competitors". I think of it more as a community with various offerings.
If I did/do have competitors, it would be the bullshit and hype media sites that talk alot, but say very little actual football.
Dawgs By Nature, Browns Nation, etc etc... and the seemingly endless PodCast Bros.

There's going to be a LOT of Darian Mensah material from myself until the 2027 Draft.

Denzel has been putting in work to master his craft beyond scheduled practices.

I'm really excited to see Boston and Concepcion this season, and hopeful that Bond progresses well.
With any luck it will be Sanders throwing to them....

And I'm afraid that if Sanders proves he is better than Watson, then Haslem will doggedly stick with Watson to prove losing all those draft choices was justified.

If it's close, Sanders should start.
If Watson legitimately is better, he should start.

I don't think so. I think that after calling Watson a swing and a miss this past winter, Haslam would prefer to see Sanders be the starter in order to find out if he can get his Manning next draft...or not. I honestly think he'd rather be able to put the whole Watson thing behind him. But Haslam is a flicked man...so ya never know.

I've read this back to myself 3 times now. Still haven't been able to come up with a logical scenario with real life application.

Makes sense if you think of the logic it took Haslem to take JFF because a homeless guy told him he should do so.

I don't believe that's at all why Haslem drafted Manziel though.

He drafted Manziel for the glitz. He paid Bill Parcells 100 grand to evaluate the draftable QB's. Parcells said, Whatever you do don't draft Manziel. Haslam is a dope.

So who told him to trade away all those draft choices for Watson?

Good question. My best guess would be that he asked Berry something like, What the hell can we do about our QB position. Resulting in Berry researching options and presenting them to his boss. And since the Rams had just demonstrated with the trade of Goff for Stafford and subsequent super bowl victory, that may have been the path chosen.
