Passing to set up the run vs. Running to set up the pass
-
It's pretty obvious which one is more successful in this day and age. Look at the last 4 teams remaining in the playoffs last year. Packers, Colts, and Patriots were pass first teams. Watching them play is like watching an entirely different game. Granted Seattle is the exception.. But it's apparent that pass first teams with weapons are more successful

Not a fan of Ray Lewis but I agree with his comments moments ago on ESPN. You have to have a WR to "take the top off of the defense". You need the Dez Bryant type guy to keep get rid of 8 men in the box. Some will say, "you need a QB to throw to him", but you can't be one dimensional in today's NFL.

So it's a possibility we see Austin Davis this year. Who could have seen that coming.
Hopefully the inactives will return and the team has a much better game Sunday in Cleveland.
GO BROWNS

It's pretty much guaranteed we see Davis or another QB. No way Johnny lasts, the way he plays, and McCown has already proven he won't stay healthy

Yep, but lucky for all of us the Browns' philosophy is to "minimize the importance of the QB".

We don't believe in franchise receivers. It's against the law.

Farmer is an idiot on that score IMO.

farmer hasn't yet invested in anything in the offensive playmaker category. will love to see what he does next year cuz we need serious help.
speaking of philly (ha!) who thinks sam bradford betting on himself is going to payoff?

If his best effort this year was Mayle, then we know where that goes.

If he stays healthy I'd bet on him

that's the question. he's not signing a contract betting that he can stay healthy and perform to land a manning deal when the stats go against him with his lack of being able to stay on the field.
-
after throwing that INT i betting he wishes he had signed.
i'd put my money up saying he ain't making it through the season...one way or another.

It has nothing to do with pass first. It's called having a franchise QB.

We have two of those. Find a new schtick.

Who's our Matt Ryan? Who's San Fran's "franchise receiver"?

If you have no receiver capable of consistently being open then you don't win in this league over a season. I never quibble over drafting from the inside out, but it appears Farmer's attitude does not include "out".

"Passing to set up the run vs. Running to set up the pass"
For either to set up the other you have to be effective in your preferred, primary approach.
For you capitalize over teams stacking to take away your first preference, you have to be able to execute your second.
We have WRs who can take the top off defenses.
We lack ones that can consistently win 50/50 balls. But so do many teams that "pass first".
