Passing to set up the run vs. Running to set up the pass

"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".

We don't believe in franchise receivers. It's against the law.
Watching Julio Jones carve up Philly as I type BTW.
Farmer is an idiot on that score IMO.
Who's our Matt Ryan? Who's San Fran's "franchise receiver"?

Torrey Smith
That's a joke right? That's a small step above Bowe, Hartline, or at the moment, Gabriel.

It's a step above and it is a WR that can win 50/50 balls and also beat the team deep. Inside the 20 the Browns have "back of the end zone" WRs. Can't throw a fade route and can't throw in throw that up for grabs 50/50 ball, you may be able to throw the slant but you rub the risk of one if the midgets getting bumped out of the way. At least Cameron gave them a tall athletic receiver. Pettine shit his pants at 1st in goal at the 15 cause he knows they don't have that guy. They'd trade Hartline, Bowe and Gabriel for Torrey Smith today if that offer was on the table.

Dude. We're paying Bowe $9M and Smith is making $3.6M. If we wanted him that bad, he'd be on our team. Smith has no renown around the league for "winning 50/50 balls." You're just saying stuff to make him look better and make us look bad. Shocker.
Small receivers are best at the slant because they have the best footwork at the line.

Smith signed 5/50 I believe and didn't want a rebuilder. We overpaid Bowe for one year because there wasn't a decent free agent coming here.

So we paid $1M less? Have you seen our cap's balance sheet right now? You don't think we could have afforded an extra $1M? Come on.

Smith made it clear that he didn't want to leave a playoff team and go to a rebuilding team. No free agent that is worth anything is choosing the Browns these days unless they are backing up the Brinks truck. No one in football, outside of Cleveland, wanted to give Bowe $9. Hartline is a definite 3 with flashes of a 2. I know you and I won't agree on this and our GM agrees with you. The idea that you can add a #2 and #2.5 and get a #1 but I don't see it.

Smith went to a team that everyone thought would be rebuilding though.

March 10th? Tomsula was their coach right? I was hearing the rumors of their demise as soon as he was announced.

Actually think they were blaming Harbaugh for everything. Now defensively they deteriorated over the offseason but offensively I still think they believe in Kaepernick, Boldin, & Hyde.

Because Tomsula was bad, or because the sources actually knew something? Since Smith had two full months to vet Tomsula apparently he was not a deal breaker.
I'm talking about the player exodus... Patrick Willis retired the day before Smith signed, March 11th. Other players who left came on or after Smith's signing.
-
Because Tomsula was bad coupled with the fact had been on the decline already.
