BREAKING NEWS: COLT MCCOY LIKELY TO START SUNDAY
-
i hear the bells already. somebody light the funeral pyre! it's gonna be a massacre!
i know 1 of 2 things are gonna happen if colt starts against the Steelers.
1. your OC is gonna call such a conservative gameplan that you will NOT top 100yrds total offense.
or
2. your OC calls a standard range of plays and colt will get intercepted 3 or more times.
pick your poison.
I see a more conservative approach no matter who the QB is. The real question is going to be how healthy will Hillis be and can Jerrome Harrison rise to the occasion or not. Also, will the Steelers have enough balls to kick to Joshua Cribbs
?I see a more conservative approach no matter who the QB is. The real question is going to be how healthy will Hillis be and can Jerrome Harrison rise to the occasion or not. Also, will the Steelers have enough balls to kick to Joshua Cribbs
?Bingo! There is no doubt our over-conservative approach just got even more smothering...the real question isnt if our RBs can rise to the occasion but more of if our line can open anything up in a 11 deep stack at the line...im betting no..

You can take the safe approach and kick away from Cribbs
. I think you are giving Hillis a lot less credit than he deserves, if the O Line can open up some holes and he is healthy we could still have a formidable weapon.honestly, i wouldn't mind if we kicked it out of bounds and started at the 40yrd line every time. he's probably gonna get to the 40 anyway and at least if we kick it out he can't advance past there.
not disrespecting Hillis. would love to have him on the Steelers. but we've consistently shut down much higher quality talent.

cant argue with that ... but hang on to the "any given sunday" excuse ....

actually had to give you a "thanks for post" on that. while the run game dosen't scare me at all cribbs on ST plays does.
Steelers still aren't where they need to be on kick coverage.

They'll certainly factor in Cribbs but I don't believe you'll see a bunch of squid kicks etc. We have a lot of special teams gunners now, especially with our most recent rookie class. 8 rookies made the active roster.

yeah, at a 1 win per 5yr average.
they are just the definition of dominate.
The Browns dominate only categories, not the whole thing. We have one of the best O lines in the league. We have a good running game. We have a beastly special teams unit. And...thats it. So yes we dominate!

The best o-lines in the league?!
Come on, the line has been terrible and is a huge factor in why the Browns are 1-4. They are constantly getting bullrushed from the left and right side, and it has been taking a toll on Joe Thoams. -

No way. The oline is one of the best in the leaque. But with hurt qb's, and no wr to stretch the field, the offense has the defense
playing against the offense's strengths. The Browns don't have the talent to be that versatile with injuries to boot.
The last game was the offense under seige by most of the entire defense, playing the short quick game. They didn't have
to worry at all about long or even intermediate passes... the recievers can't get open soon enough, except for Cribbs, and maybe
Ben Watson depending.
This defense is dramatically improved. And the pass protection and run blocking has been priceless, until the Atlanta game.
The oline used to be the problem. Not any more. The Browns still have some weaknesses to resolve.

Per Adam Schefter twitter:
Cleveland signed QB Brett Ratliff off Patriots practice squad and told him he would back up rookie QB Colt McCoy in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Just realized the title may be misleading, because the way Adam Schefter worded it, it isn't specified that Colt will be #1 or not. But ill leave the title as is to attract more viewers

What happens in the RARE event that he throws for 300 yards and 3 TDs?

I think all of us are fearing this because of the trauma we went through with Brady Quinn. My optimism stems from the fact that these two guys are completely different players. Colt McCoy has won his whole life and thats all he knows, which can be a positive and negative thing. But I still have optimism.

Or that they have no other option at this juncture that knows the offense even a little bit. Colt McCoy is going to be eaten alive. You're WR's have struggled to get separation all season. What makes you think they are going to get separation against the best defense in the league with a rookie QB?

With a healthy Seneca and a healthy Hillis, we completely kick Steeler ASS. Without, we need a Texas miracle.

If only you were being serious.

In my mind we have every reason to believe we are going to beat you. Last time we faced the Steelers we won 13-6, had 8 sacks, and had a tremendous game all around. Until we see how we match up, it is only fair to go off of the last result, especially in the division.
