    Farmer aware it needed changing hence the drafting of Orchard and Cooper

    Remains to be seen if they can produce over the next few years

      How many sacks do the Browns have through 6 games? Wouldn't you think the game plan for yesterday would have been a little more aggressive? Manning looks horrible all year! He can't move or throw the long ball. This to me was a wasted opportunity to beat up on Manning and be dominant! I am pissed that a 39 year old came in to OUR stadium and beat us. AGAIN.

      DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

        Orchard and Cooper were good draft picks. Play them before the season is lost. Play them

          Sheard has half as many sacks as our entire team so far - I blame the scheme more than the personnel, but our personnel has some holes too.

          O'Neil is on pace to be out of a job still, IMO.

            Orchards been playing, remains to be seen if he pans out. He hasn't impressed me yet. He has less dynamic pass rushing skills than Kruger. The guy who disappointed me Sunday was Armonty. Like he wasn't coming off the ball explosive at all and wasn't really doing any kind of moves when he met the blocker. Almost looked like he's dinged up again.

              Personell for me, it's not difficult to rush the QB from a scheme point of view, players just aren't getting there.

              Dunno, LB...

              I see D's against us using DL to block our OGs in our OTs with OLBs looping through gaps that are created (both OAK and SD did this). I see our rushers staying in lanes... rushing into bodies even when we blitz.

              Even LBs coming off "covering" TEs or RBs lined up tight... we don't do much of that and we saw its effectiveness yesterday.

              We just seem to depend on personnel winning one-on-one battles when one on zero are a lot easier to win.

                    Not really sure why we would get rid of our leading pass rusher (Armonty). I could see Kruger and Solomon who have brought us a grand total of 0.5 sacks this year.

                      Well we only had 1 int before the game Sunday and we came up with 3, The sacks will come. Our D looks to be coming together.

                        Exactly. We shuffle players in and out constantly, there's no continuity at all. Nobody gets a feel for the game,it's stupid.

                            Ya know, when it comes to Peyton Manning, normally I would say that he has such good control of his offense, and knows defenses so well that it's difficult to sack him. But not now. There were MANY TIMES when he was sitting back in the pocket all damn day, and we couldn't even sniff his Papa John's Pizza breath. And it's not like this is a problem that only surfaced against the Broncos. We had ONE game where we got good pressure, and that was against a rookie who held onto the ball WAY too long. Most of the Titans sacks weren't because we did something right, they came because the rookie didn't know what he was doing.

                            I have no idea what's wrong with our pass rush, I only know that it appears that OUR QUARTERBACK has about zero damn time to find someone, and opposing quarterbacks sit back there all day and pick us apart. Heck, the one sack we had against Flacco came because he freaking tripped. Paul Kruger looks VERY slow this year, and he's not getting home. I realize the Broncos are the best, but they usually rushed four people and were getting pressure, and if they brought more, we were totally screwed. Our team was supposed to be built on defense. Our coach was supposed to be good at creating schemes. Nothing, and I mean nothing is working out. Yeah, we got three turnovers last game, but we obviously still lost the game (The Colts game from last year come to mind?)

                            I don't have any answers, I only know that I'm so angry...more than I have been in a long time. I absolutely HATE blowing a team up and starting over. As a fan, it's the worst. But what are we supposed to hope for? That our coach will somehow figure something out on defense? That he will magically come up with the right idea of how to actually stop the run? We don't set the edge, and we never have. I have no clue what will happen this season, but it sure feels like this last game may have taken it out of our team. That loss combined with the Johnny crap...makes it feel that we're spiraling down the rabbit hole of frustration, incompetence, and failure.

                              I agree with everyone that says we are shuttling the front seven in and out too much.

                              Players aren't getting into flow if the game and the 300 lbers are already gassed when they line up against linemen who play every snap yet are not gassed.

                                The Panthers only have 3 more total sacks than we do and what is their record? Our D is coming together. I seen good things this last game. And with the win @ Baltimore

                                  what's the Panthers hurry stats? without knowing for sure i'm gonna assume they're around the QB a lot more than we are. I will give some of the credit to manning, he was getting rid of the ball quick so our rush did't have time to get there. But we do have some serious skill deficiencies on the edge..of that there is no question. Our edge guys just are not that capable. None of them need either double teamed or chipped, even against 2nd stringers.

                                  Kruger for one has been completely nerfed from the weight they dropped off him since his days at Blt. First with Horton than with Oneil. He's just not that explosive anymore. He's not a 3-4 OLB'er.

                                    We have 10 sacks, but 7 of them were in the Titans game.

                                    3 Sacks in the other 5 games ....

                                    image.jpg

                                    Apparently, the key to getting sacks is to start Manziel at QB.

                                      drafting a blue chip monster bull rushing DE or MLB might be a good thing to do along with maybe a tall big WR.
