Childress Primer

[Taco918]

That fits in perfectly with what we got going on now. Sounds like a match made in heaven

[Halfbreed216]

So we didn't hire anyone to do anything different?

[miktoxic]

well we don't have a running game, so......you might as well scratch point number one off the board. we don't have any sure handed receivers, so there goes point number two.

sounds like everything the browns are now just another paycheck is all.

[BrownIndian]

How dare u talk like that ?

Now Holmgren wont give you playoff tickets when the Browns make it to the playoffs.

[Pumpkin Eater]

Childress didn't call plays in Minnesota.

[ace]

Don't listen to the Vikings fans that invade this board and berate Chilly. They are delusional.

[beefjerky]

He's fine as OC, the Vikings hardly ever had any good receivers either, Bernard Berrian was a #1 there for a while and Percy Harvin isn't a sure thing, kind of like Cribbs.

He's like a curse or something. Can't believe he can still get hired in the NFL with that track record...

How about a Browns fan who lives in Minnesota who got to watch all my friends hate Chilly?

Can I bitch about Chilly?

hi cleveland fans,

vikings fan here....thought i would give you some insight as to what you have to look forward to....

1. get used to the browns running on first and second down alot

2. when it is third and long...get used to passes that are thrown just short of the first down line

3. confounding uses of time outs

4. a nonexistent two minute offense...

sorry

As others have said, that sounds just like the offense we have had here...except that the Browns actually had some of their best production in the two minute offense.

Or,perhaps it is "the system" that these guys are running. The WCO does use a lot of short passes and has a lot of reliance on YAC, even in 3rd down situations.

I guess that may be all fine, well, and good when you have Jerry Rice catching, but it may not work with lesser lights.

Yea "straight to the shitter" is losing in a Super Bowl and championship games? Classic Zombo. I'll fucking take this over 4-12, 3-13, and so on. You're a dolt as usual.

Zombo

You're joking right?

[Taco918]

Im pretty sure it was sarcasm Kosar. At least that's how I viewed it when I read it

[miktoxic]

he was joking about both those posts.

[BrownieElf_07]

I think the only reason Childress ran on 1st and second down would be because they have fucking Adrian Peterson. If we had AP.. I would be pissed if we didn't run on 1st and 2nd down. Actually, if my mind serves me right, they were pretty much a pass first in his last two years as head coach when Brett was at the helm. And Brett's "unclutchness" was probably a good reason they didn't make it to the super bowl. I think he'll be just fine.

I guess Favre did go out on a bad note for all the teams he played with.

[kshutchins]

There definitely needs to be a font reserved for sarcasm.

Haha. Thank you for the humor. I'm just glad we never had to deal with him in Cleveland!

Why would you think that I posted those for the purpose of humor?

Well from the looks of it, we should be making the playoffs in about 6 seasons. Oh boy...
