  • he actually doesn't come off that mean. He's certainly no Del Rio or Cowher. Hell wild boy Rob could come off hotter than some of those video's. He doesn't have any kind of innate demeanor that's gonna intimidate anybody

    Exactly. I said in an earlier post that Pettine is icer than Belichick but after rewatching some of the pressers as I posted the list, I lied. Belichick is THE Ice Man. I suppose my memory of Pettine being icey had to do with how often he smiles. When I watched Pettine pressers I found myself wondering if he would smile this time or not. Funny how things like that leave an impression.

  • and body language wise I see alot of looking down and to the left which psychologists say is a sign of either duplicity or meakness/submission. Take that for what you will. What he's saying though i can see he knows his shit about defense's...obviously. He makes a good impression overall, just not that "hardass" we were told he was.

    I'm no psychologists, psychiatrist or profiler and not to make excuses for anyone, particularly not a NFL HC, but looking down probably has something to do with camera lighting. Did you see the shadow when he's wearing a cap? It was so dark I couldn't even tell if he was wearing hollywoods or not. And looking left...the 'presser director' sits over there. You occasionally hear him ask if there are any more questions and often see people doing the pressors (HC, QB, OC, etc.) look in that direction for ques.

    Re: Is Pettine a hardass?

    The answer to that question probably depends on whom you ask. From hearsay I understand a player that breaks a Pettine rule gets a dose of something, often coming in the form of THE LOOK. You know, the kind of look similar to the one you get from your significant other when you fuck up. 🙂

    Regardless, it's fair to say Pettine is serious business.

  • i hope so. That being said though this Browsn roster, with the exception of Gordon, doesn't seem to have alot of fuckups on it. Our problem isnt' guys not showing up for meetings or practice.

    well that's why this draft and FA signings are so important.

    a lot will be told after both are done. then i can comment further on whether (IMO) they're moving in the right direction.

    i mean we as fans know the weaknesses of the browns' roster. you don't think that these guys that live and breathe this shit for 24/7 don't as well?

  • 9/27/12 and 12/27/12. It's like one of those hooker meth-head mugshot timelines. He's got the thousand yard stare. Those last three months working for Rex must have been hell.

    looks like he's coming off a 3 day binge. but what do i know about that?

    i agree 100%. just going from this thread from the last that you posted about us sucking and will be lucky to win 3 games. remember that?

    No no, not lucky to win 3 games....I'm saying 3 wins is our minimum with 5 being max, 6 exceeding my wildest expectations. So far I've seen nothing thats gonna get me those 6 wins and if we keep releasing productive veterans 5 wins is going to become a statistical oddity. I'll refresh my calculations after the draft.

    On Come On Man!!! Just getting rid of Wee-done is three more wins right there. As far as releasing productive veterans, the Steelers released Green, Lloyd, Burress, and Wallace- did it hurt them that much?

    We had KC on the ropes, and should never have lost the Pats game. I'm not predicting playoffs, but this Browns team is not going to be a bottom feeder this year.

    Regarding the draft- having Pettine and Farmer calling the shots instead of Lobotomy increases the odds of success about 500%.;

    Hahaha, yeah I noticed that too. The lost puppy look. That 12-27-12 pic was just days after Pettine hadn't extended his contract with the Jets and was about to become a free agent basically...And his last Jets presser I think.

    Transition year dude, I'm factoring that into my calculations. If Chud had stayed coach....I'd say 6 wins was easily doable with the very real possibility of playing .500 ball for the first time since, since...ah fuck it i can't remember. Rebuilds always suck, especially for us.

  • I like him. He is what I want in a football coach. I like a coach with some fire and I also like coaches with a defensive background unless he is a big pussy named Romeo.
