    We do you ever see us pushing the opposing O=lines back at the point of attack?

    Never?

    You would be right.

    I am so sick and FICKING tired of seeing teams CONSTANTLY run 6-8 yards on us every down.

    What's it going to take for us to make some stops?

    Im almost to the freaking point where I wouldn't mind if we choose 3 defensive beasts with our first three picks to stop this nonsense.

    Obviously, we will have to compete with Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and if we can't score, well, damnit, we better prevent them from scoring, too.

    I dont know, the more I think about this team, we are 5 players away on Defense, and 4 players away on offense from being an elite team. and if we go with H&H that believes in building through he draft, that's 3-4 years from now at least.

    F the Bowns, F the Run D, F the WRs and F Colt. They all SUCK, the BROWNS ORGANIZATION SUCKS.

    I've been begging for LBs for years. Our D-line isn't too shabby (it certainly could be better), but all I notice when watching is our DBs making tackles. Our OLBs are by far the weakest in the NFL.

    They need to make OLBs a priority in the draft, plain & simple.

    Ya I have to agree with you, the Browns need help at the LB position. I still would have liked to have seen them take a chance on Curry with the low round pick they would have given up.... Makes me sick to my stomach when I see how valuable Maualuga is to the bengals defense and then watch Robo play for the Jags.... The only ray of light in the LB position is the fact that D Jack hasn't had injury issues yet.... hopefully he has shaken that monkey off his back. To bad they paid Gocong, cause D Jack going to be expensive.

    They need to address other positions on D as well.

    Need to find Sheldon's replacement and move him to the nickel or FS position, Young gets ABUSED by every tight end they go up against in coverage. Would have been nice to have hung on to Elam, still liked that guy.

    I wouldn't be upset at all if they used all their top picks to fill in these spots. I don't really think drafting another young and unknown reciever is going to help the young offense out. I think they would be better off drafting a young defense and paying an established reciever that has proven he can get open and help the younger wide outs grow. I look at the VERY young reciever corp and don't think that adding another rookie that is going to need time to learn himself to the mix will help them much. I would have liked the Lloyd deal if they could have made it. Might not have made much difference in the win column but he is helping his young QB in St. Louis learn and gain confidence by getting open and making plays for him. He probably could have helped Colt out in the long run.

    We need to get WR help, but in many ways, these college superstar WRs a huge gamble (like QBs). I would have thought guys like Braylon, Dez Bryant, Crabtree, & Mike Williams would be tearing up the league. They better do their homework on the WRs, proceed with caution.
