  • I see a real commitment to winning now like I have not seen since we came back in 99. It was interesting to read of the coaches who turned down promotions elsewhere to stay in Cleveland. That goes against the whole negative narrative by some of the media of the team organization being "toxic" and "dysfunctional".

    At least on the D-side...

    Tells us something about the source of the dysfunction methinks.

  • well if o'neill thinks the DLine were not the main culprits in NOT stopping the run does that mean (if we go defense first pick) that it will more than likely an OLB/DE? unless, of course, shelton drops to us?

  • I just love this stuff!

    When was the last time we saw the kind of resolve in a coaching staff that we are now seeing out of these guys?

  • Hell, it would be nice to just slow the damn run down just a little bit.

    I could see that. Sucks to have to use another high pick on OLB, but we just might have to.

  • Pettine's D staff believe's in Pettine period (and why not). That's why none have Baled. Somebody needs to inform Jim O'Neil of our stat of minus 48.5% of slacking D Front against the run. I believe being positive with media but....Wow..

    Is Mongo the honorary team captain? He is their "special little guy".

    Freudian slip... Blazing Saddles must've been on my mind. Or I'm hoping Mingo becomes as disruptive as Mongo was in that movie...

    Haha great movie.

  • O'Neil was our best coordinator last year, and I have high hopes he can fix the run D........ Hell, he simply has to if we are going to be competitive next year.

  • I like the language O'Neil uses here. He doesn't say they will be working to fix the run defense, or working to improve the run defense he says "we will stop the run next year". I believe him.

    I like these coaches and I only wish Flip would have gotten hired last year.

    Possible, but I'm going to guess it's more along the lines that they are learning a D that's very tough on the pass and being given a good deal of responsibility to develop their players in that system.

    The latter is rewarding short-term and the former will be marketable as hell in the mid-term... especially if a good measure of run stopping is added without sacrificing effectiveness vs. the pass.
