    It's not about what I am saying it is about what happened... Do you not understand? Horrible bust of a draft.

    We got three starting players, a future starter, trade bait, and some depth.

    Don't like it? Too bad, baby back bitch.

    PS I already believe they know Hoyer cannot start for them next year. That's why he will be gone. Just in case Manziel struggles and the fans start yelling, "Pagel", "Pagel".

    Hoyer's a free agent. Wasn't really considering him.

    Not necessarily true :

    Shortly after the news conference, Brian Hoyer's agent Joe Linta told Browns writer Jeremy Fowler that the team had reached out to him about a contract extension.

    "We've left the door open both ways," Linta said.

    Time will tell what it all means, but it is interesting. Clearly, though, the details are what matters. If the Browns offer Hoyer backup money, he will go to free agency.

    Last offseason the team declined to offer more than that. Hoyer declined to sign. Now the Browns have their new offensive coordinator talking about not knowing the quarterback.

    Outside of Manziel, I'd love to know what other player has been a bust? Please, don't say Gilbert either. He graded in the green on several games.

    While I'm not "excited" I think bringing him aboard has serious promise. Listening to Deflips presser and his selfless attitude is rather refreshing. It is very possible that this

    could turn into a home run hire.

    BTW, I am not spelling out Defilippo for the next couple years. What do we go with:

    John D

    JD

    D-flip

    Defi

    Coach D

    Then when we hate him after one game:

    DefilliPOO

  • Interesting, a little more light shed on the Shanahan departure :

    Cleveland Browns' Mike Pettine let Kyle Shanahan walk away to avoid 'a dark cloud over' the coaching offices

    http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/01/cleveland_browns_mike_pettine_16.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    I'd read before we hired him that Kyle was difficult to work with when he was in Washington, but shrugged it off as a possible Owner issue since the Skins Owner is a bit . . . well, challenging at times as I understand it.

    Couple in the earlier mention that the Browns were possibly looking at OC's before the Shanahan deal broke loose and the picture gets a bit clearer . . .

  • Signing D-Flip was the equivalent of picking the fat kid last for kick ball just to keep the teams even. This is a win for the Brown's by default.

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

    I enjoyed Flip's presser as well, came across as a worker and only had one real hiccup.

    To say Gilbert's season was anything other than a fail is crazy. He's not a bust yet but the Browns started rookie undrafted free agent K'waun and Desir out of the 4th round over him. He says he will redeem himself and maybe he will but like Manziel all the talk in the world doesn't amount to much on Sunday.

  • Another encouraging tidbit from Flip via some NFL reporter's Twitter:

    DeFilippo said he's very familiar w/ zone blocking scheme "whatever the Cleveland Browns did well last year, we're going to continue to do"

    Yeah, I've been reading that ZBS isn't going anywhere.

    Also, Offensive terminology is going to be simplified - which will help reduce a lot of the mistakes they were having last year.

    Washington had O terminology issue too with Kyle's system, and they ran it longer than we did.

    Ahh, here's something :

    DeFilippo called Shanahan’s famed zone-blocking run scheme “fabulous,” and said he experienced it on his first stint with the Raiders, and then was involved in a “gap-blocking” scheme last year.

    “Both have their merits, both have their drawbacks. We’re going to have a mixture of both,” he said.

    Come on guy...............the guy is from OHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "God is great. Beer is good. People are crazy."

  • I liked Shanahan but I would rather see him leave than to stay in Cleveland where he obviously did not want to stay. Now they bring in someone like DeFilippo who knows what he is getting into, has some good credentials, wants to be here and is sure to work well with Pettine. He looks promising as OC but the real proof will be how the offense performs next season.

  • From Lane Adkins :

    What you get with DeFilippo after discussing him with numerous folks in and around the game -
    - Excellent communicator
    - Listens to players
    - Always teaching
    - Challenges players
    - Adaptable scheme
    - No nonsense
    - Open and honest
    - Accountability
    - Will get upset with a player, doesn't hold issue against them

  • Some of you sunshine pumpers need a wake up.

    Defillipo or whatever the f his name is, IS A FUCKING PRAYER. Bottom line, it's a terrible unimpressive hire until proven otherwise. Period.

    Said the same about Gilbert, said the same about Manziel. This Franchise continues to dig it's own hole.

    Or Hoyer, for that matter.

    PS I already believe they know Hoyer cannot start for them next year. That's why he will be gone. Just in case Manziel struggles and the fans start yelling, "Pagel", "Pagel".

    so what if they told Hoyer- you're welcome to stay, as long as you have no serious starter aspirations?

    and you'll be wrong about gilbert as you are wrong period.

    i heard there's plenty of room on that seattle bandwagon. go find a seat humper.

  • Can we please get Flip to a camp and maybe a couple preseason games, before anyone can judge? Only read I get is, Flip can adjust to player given and not have to change every player. That's a Good Players Coach. Damn I have hope to see a screen pass with blockers that may even work, that Shanny gave up on. RELAX

  • I predict he will be far better than the proven unimpressive shanny. The bar is set pretty low in my opinion. Shanny was the last second prayer. Some here forget that.

    For some reason, when you speak reality around here, you get to told to bounce to another team. Sometimes the truth hurts, but I totally agree with you. This team is the laughing stock of the NFL. No coach or player even wants to come here. Soooooo sad. I enjoy being on this forum though because these guys bitch and complain, and then when a change happens, they get so HAPPY and EXCITED even when we bring in the lowest below average quality. It sure is comical as I've been a member here for awhile and it continues to happen year after year. Hahah!
