Think The Browns Finally Got Their Div Opponents' Attention?
-
Come on now guys, draft picks don't get anyone'sattention. Putting them to good use does. Nobody was scared when the Bangles drafted Green and Dalton. They were shaking however when they say them on the field. Nobody will be afraid of us until we can put up some Ws.
-
Not scared... but got their attention. Sure the Browns got that attention.
Of course a lot of players watch the draft. When the Browns drafted just Richardson,
I'll bet a lot of opponent players said "yep. The Browns solved the rb problem with a kickass rb. Now watch,
they'll finally draft a RT. That will suck. No more easy money with the Browns defeats."
Attention. The scared will be when they actually are getting hammered and wishing they were playing the Browns
of three years ago.
Not any more.

Fair enough. However we have gotten people's attention before (Eric Metcalf, 2007 draft) and it turned into nothing. We need to start scaring people now.

But isn't the one player that has an impact with a team that is weak overall.
This last draft, + Gordon... sealed the deal of a complete team to be able to compete
in all phases of the game.
Able to.
It isn't just the RB, obviously. Think of it as a dam, that has all sorts of leaks.
But, a few years later, 90% of the leaks are fixed. But a few persist.
Then, every single leak is FIXED. Dam leaks no more.
Going to be a big difference, I think.

In theory, yes. These guys all have to: a. live up to their capabilities and b. stay healthy. The latter always seems to be an issue with the Browns..

I just hope that Phil Taylor comes back strong and healthy and ready to maul people!

Adkins: DT Phil Taylor is Doing "Remarkably Well"

On Monday, Lane Adkins of the OBR posted an optimistic update about Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor on his Twitter account. He said that Taylor is "doing remarkably well" and "could be ready to play in ten weeks." You read that right -- not practice, but play. Adkins says that he understands it sounds like a huge case of optimism for Taylor, but that he was told that Taylor's pectoral injury was no where near as serious as D'Qwell Jackson's from a couple years back.
Ten weeks from Monday make Taylor available for the team's Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills or the team's Week 4 game (which takes place four days later) against the Baltimore Ravens. It'll be interesting to see whether Taylor begins the season on the 53-man roster or the physically unable to perform list. If they place him on the PUP, the earliest he could play is Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. The disadvantage of placing him on the PUP is that he cannot practice for the first six weeks of the season. If he is not on the PUP, he could start practicing, for example, in Week 3, and be ready to play a few weeks later. Either way, it's good to hear there haven't been any setbacks for Taylor to this point.

All righty then. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope this assessment is accurate. I agree it is possible that he may be available by the 3rd/4t/5th week of the season, then you definitely want him out on the practice field....not somewhere jerking off.

Until the browns start kicking their asses the stoolers, bungals nor the ratbirds will pay any mind to playing the browns..
To them its just another easy win until they are rudely awakened and one or two of them is soundly beaten then they "may" pay attention..
So its business as usual in the afcn until the browns wipe "easy win" from our rivals vocabulary..
And even once the browns start to win then comes the question of rather our coaches are capable of continuously matching wits against the likes of the great coaches of the AFCN and winning consistently because once we arent considered cream puffs these teams are going to bring their A game every game..
Lots of unanswered questions but i am looking forward to filling in the blanks as this season rolls on..

Well, this is where I say you are wrong. I believe the other teams in the division DO bring their "A game" to the table right now when they play the Browns. I don't believe for a second that they slack off when the play the Browns.
Here is a clue for all y'all: the difference in talent between the best and worst teams in the league is the thin edge of a blade. These other teams know that if they don't bring their A game to every game, they will get beat. Any slight thing can dull that edge: an injury, overconfidence, a couple of talented players, a short lapse in concentration anything. On Any Given Sunday, as they say.
If the Bengals and Steelers and Ravens were not giving their best performances the Browns would be beating them regularly. Yes, they went 0-6 against the division last year, but in reality, in only one of those games were the Browns beat handily.....it was THAT game that was the aberration.
If the Browns simply sharpen their blade a little, it is they who can be doing the cutting, not their opponents.

^ as support for that idea, look no further than the wins we've had recently of the superbowl winners the following year. thats what happens in this league...let your guard down against anyone and you get smacked in the mouth.
hell....the queen lifted us to our first win in forever against the stools. ya think they weren't looking ahead?
