  • I'll disagree. "defense wins championships" It's still true whether you like it or not & the Browns D is almost as bad as the O.

    Man you need some reading skills.....where exactly(in my thread) are you responding to me with this? I said offensive skill positions are harder to get than defensive ones....defense is easier to fix....and you come up this this shit? I said we have the worst offense since 1933 and you come back with defense wins championships? Our first rushing touchdown in thirteen games this year and since buffalo game last year(a whole season) and this is your retort? WTF...are you that stupid?

  • Agreed and have said for years (Captain Obvious)..this team lacks playmkers...on both sides of the ball. We have one on ST.

    CJ SPiller = playmaker that could play today..i get that..im cool with a trade down mor picks/players and snag Cj in 1st round..great!

    Dez Bryant?...I love that guy...but is he ready to be the guy?..today?..most likely not...maybe mid seaon or 2nd year he will..but its very rare a rookie reciever does much of anything (BTW we are starting 2 of them....)

    a name that intrigues me is Miles Austin...i believe his a free agent... line him up next to mo mass with stukcey/robo in slot..and do not forget about Stallworth..he may get another shot and be out to prov something...hes quite fast...an this offense lacks SPEEEED.

    Draft (3rd roundish) a RT..or sign best availb FA RT.

    Instant Offense?...

    Still hard to pass up Berry..and no way you pass up Suh if he is an option..but he won't be

  • screw Suh.... we cant draft our way into a good enough defense in two years if we cant score..... We need consistent explosive skill players...... Ive been on the golden tate booster squad since he is entering the draft.

    When we had offense we Had Winslow (catch anything) Edwards (at one time could stretch the field and .....CATCH) JJ 6-5 and caught all of the tough slot patterns and well anything else combined with a good enough Jamal......

    thats 4 major contributions and weapons we dont have......... unless you are pitching shut outs it does not matter if we dont have the personnel to score points.... the NFL is offensively driven really with all of the rules slanted toward creating scoring oppurtunities......

    Please... History. See you next year. Dream if you wish. Better plan is the Browns Count on Pittsburgh to be better.

  • win is a win... a needed Step for the Browns. Pittsburgh will Improve in `10 ... so the Browns gotta get better. 3 times in 39 yrs the Steelers had Back to Back losing seasons. So highly unlikely next year. Congrats ... Your Boys outplayed ours !

    OK Winner 2-11 Be Proud... And you didn't sweep us. Hmmm.... How stupid can you possibly sound. Your an embarrassment to Cleveland.

  • Im pretty sure drafting for offense and defense is a 50/50 thing. You cant win a game if you dont score a point but you can lose a game if you let the other team score. It goes both ways.

    One rushing touchdown in 13 games this year and since the buffalo game last year(well over a season total) and you are fine with the RB situation....lmfao...wow....

    no jamal and suddenly we get our first rushing touchdown. not a coincidence. Also, there is much more that goes into the running game than quality of your RB.

    good point.

  • well you don't go Oline first, because the most winning teams in the NFL don't go Oline first. Including Saints, Pats and Colts. They pick 3rd up normally with oline.

    I would take Gilyard, do a search, I've pimp'd him since last year. Maybe not with OUR position in the draft, but if we trade up possibly (which I'm not always a fan of trading up).

    this offense is bad for sure. Chris jenning might be good in the future, he might not. He had one good game against a reeling Steelers defense that lost 5 straight. Lets wait out of the season and see if Jenning can average in that 3.8-4.3 ypc mark to see what he is worth to us before we get ahead of ourselves.

    This defensive backfield needs help, I USUALLY am not the guy to want and draft a safety first.... but this is a case where i make an exception. Get the big hitting do it all safety.

  • Why think the Browns can't score? 80 over the lats four. Even if you take out the big game against Detroit, it's still 14.3 per game.

    First four games: 12.3 points per game

    Second four games: 7.3 points per game

    Third four games: 18.7 points per game

    Final four: 13 points per game.

    The offense isn't lethal by any stretch, but the timing that the receivers and Quinn are building and the new look of the running game are going to pay dividends. Another veteran WR, another RB would be nice, but a couple early picks on the defensive side of things could be huge.
