    What I said, previous. I'm not about to anoit Mingo the second coming of Derrick Thomas- but first play in the game= sack. He's gong to get a lot more playing time- really fast. Too bad Weeden & the Wrs suck.

    I'm putting this more on the receivers than Weeden, a few of those plays were sure TDs. I don't know why we didn't play Trich in that play that ogbonnaya lined up in, I'm sick of how we're not utilizing Trich in passing situations since he's our best offensive player.

    OTOH, Weeden overthrew a big gainer to a hugely open Obi. It is what it is.

  • Overall we need a lot of work. Team wise.

    The defense is close to being a very good unit.

    The offense on the other hand....

  • I was pleasantly surprised by Mingo today. Hopefully is evolves into something special.

  • Dumb thread.

    I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say we're a CB and a FS away from having an elite defense.

  • Mingo is looking really good at dropping back and edge rushing. If there was anyone on the line I was having an issue with it was Kruger. His pass rushing skills consist of a bullrush and seemingly nothing else. If he can bullrush Oher consistently into Flacco's face than he can bullrush anybody in the NFL. If he gets good at just one aux move he might have had several sacks by now cause he gets close based just on sheer strength. However, after the minnesota game and now the Cincy game i'm fine with how he's playing. He's causing qb's to adjust their timer, Mingo can bring the blindside edge rush. Has anyone noticed that teams don't want to run at Kruger "at all"? And when they do they don't really get nowhere?

  • You guys need to understand what depth is, I love our defense right now.

    It is very evident that Weeden was part of the problem with the offensive line, as he was trying to use time that he didn't have. With Hoyer getting the ball out quicker the line has been better.

    yeah i don't get how that happens....first two games, Cousins was getting "beasted" back into Weedons face. I don't necessarily know how that's weedons fault but you're right..for some reason the offensive line all of a sudden looks competent.

  • Can you guys stop bumping the thread? I was just pissed the Browns lost yet another opener and so I had an overreaction. I actually have warmed up to the Mingo pick a lot and like it a lot now. I just figured we had enough players at that position.

    as long as he stays healthy it was a great pick.
