Maurkice Pouncey could miss the entire season, will need surgery.

Injuries happen, Pro Bowl players are replaceable.. Wait, no they're not.
Let's see, what's a few other comments I heard last year about Mack?
* They're the Steelers, of course they're going to have excuses for sucking.
* Quit whining, Steelers.
Well now you can sleep better. At least no dumb ass Steeler fan can tell you that Pouncey is better than Mack right now.
Sucking is going 8-8 by Steeler standards, the worst record the Steelers had in the past 11 years.
Understand the difference between excuses and reasons though.
Excuses for losing is shit like "the QB had an off day" or whining about play calling and officiating, "we made too many mistakes" etc.
But a good reason is injuries... even though a coach won't admit to it in public.
Another good reason would be if the sewers backed up in the locker room and key players came down with staph.

When both are perfectly healthy Mack was better.

OK, prepare to suck by your standards.

Were these quotes by Steelers players after the last time the Browns played them? Sounds like it to me

Well, actually this is a little bit out of your ass.
First link was some guy named Brett Kollmann's opinion back in July 2014.
1. Why does Brett Kollmann decide who the best the best slot corner is in the NFL? Who the fuck is he, anyway?
2. This would not take into account last season. Don't you think last season is kinda important when declaring someone the best slot corner in the NFL last season? Or do you think an article by Brett Kollmann from before last season is good enough to make this declaration.
Second link says he is a "Top five cornerback in our grading system". Top five ... not the best. And for their system.
So ... I'll continue to wait for you to explain to me why he was "the best slot corner in the league last season"
As we read your latest post further, we find out that it wasn't that he didn't fit "Kelly's system" (Perhaps you meant DC Billy Davis) but because he wanted to play outside and the Eagles wanted him inside ... that's different. So they traded this ever-so-great slot cornerback for a 5th round
Brett Fucking Kollmann's cousin at PFF.com rated K'Waun Williams 7 spots higher than Boykin last season.

Well, it's interesting that the squealers traded for a cheap shot cb. It's what they do.
Anybody who will take a violent hit on somebody. Even somebody they aren't supposed to hit.
That's Boykin.

Zombo said:
That's because K'Waun Williams is the best slot corner in the league.
I declared it ... thus it is so.
Zombo
PFF declares it too....
Boykin has done ok in the slot, but has zero experience on the outside.....and it's a whole different animal out there.....
And in re to Pouncey?......AaaaaaHAHAHAHAHAHA.........oh well.....shit happens....

I am still bummed about Pouncey going down. Such a good dude
Is a pig's ass pork? -
Boykin thinks Kelly wouldn't play him on the outside, because he's "racist".
Meanwhile.......
"I think our two outside corners are very good football players," Kelly said. "Again, it’s a matchup game. The bigger receivers are on the outside. The smaller receivers are on the inside. So you’ve got two longer guys in Fletch [bradley Fletcher] and Cary [Williams] that really fit in terms of getting matched up. When most people, if they’re gonna be in '21' personnel, then they’re not small outside. They’re big outside. So when they’re big, we’re big. I think when you bring in the Wes Welkers and the great slot receivers in this league, you need to have someone that has the ability to cover them. And I think that’s what Brandon’s strength really is. That’s the way we’ve always looked at it."

Yeah, they should just forfeit now. They lost a lineman and are replacing him with another lineman. Season over I guess.

Well, like the stool fan says, they'll just replace him with another......
Thats easy to do with an average center....but not a great center......
So.....either he's great and, therefore, impossible to replace.....or he's not......cant have it both ways....
Crystal ball says Danny Shelton will soon to meet the Rapist.......up close and personal.....

The position is downgraded obviously. Cody Wallace was new to the team two years ago when it happened last time. I expect him to be better this time around. Just because he's not as good as the guy he's replacing doesn't mean he can't get the job done. You sure have a lot of confidence in your crystal ball considering Danny Shelton hasn't played a down of real NFL football yet. You might want to see him play before annointing him the second coming of Warren Sapp.

I havent annointed anyone as the second coming of Warren Sapp.....you're just writing fiction there......
Though Id be happy to wager that Shelton handles your guy Cody....(easily too)....
Cody Wallace was 6 years in the league before ever even starting a game(and didnt even make a team for his first 4 years.., until the stools signed him that is).....and in the 6 starts he's now had(over 7 years), has graded out as terrible almost every game....
So, you can expect him to do well, but I cant expect Shelton to?......even though Shelton has already earned starter status?
We shall see.....my money is on our guy.....

We will see. Wallace isn't Pouncey but I do expect him to be better than two years ago for reasons I've already stated. I think I've been pretty clear that it's a downgrade. That's obvious. That doesn't mean Shelton is going to have 3 sacks and 10 tackles. We'll have to wait and see.

yep....he's earned 6 starts in 7 years.......wow!

Well, the QB was playing well behind Mack.....but you are right, once Mack went out and his replacements were less than competent, our fragile QB did lose his confidence and the ability to perform the way he had earlier in the season. He just didn't have the self confidence to overcome that loss.
And for the run....that is correct as well.....but people forget, that in addition to losing Mack, the Browns also lost like 2/3rds of their DL to injury. :
DE Armonty Bryant on IR last 11 games
DT/DE John Hughes on IR last 11 games
DT Phil Taylor IR last 7 games
DT Isma'aly Kitched out last several games, eventually placed on IR.
Backup LB Darius Eubanks on IR most of season
FS Tashaun Gipson (proven to be very good against the run) on IR the last 5 games.
MLB Karlos Dansby also out for a couple of games and had to sit out a lot in games he was active
The Browns were down to chewing gum and duct tape at the DT position last year, i.e. 3rd and 4th stringers. Sure they couldn't stop the run.
I mean, again, you are right.....one starter/quality performer missing from a unit has an affect. No less 5 or 6 players on a unit.
