Haslam calls mtg with upper management tonight
-
Our Safties rotated out of a Cover 2 just prior to the snap. I'm guessing that is where the error was. So the question is who made that call... Gip or Whitner? A deep outside responsibility would be unusual for a one-deep look.

As I watched none of the game, I'm going to take a crack at this one.
Starts @ 37seconds in.
- You have '11' personnel on the field vs our nickel.
- Looks like Gaines to the boundary?
- Two fast threats to the field + a back. Fast threat and the inline TE to other side.
Pettine's word is that Tramon was in man/trail and Gip over the top? Some things I find curious.
Both Gip AND Donte weren't playing over the top. So this isn't 2 man under. It's also not a traditional cloud/roll because Whitner would be moving towards the middle of the field. Instead he's walking over the #2 in what looks like it might be a double team or just man on. So I presume you have Gaines in a MEG, Kwuan is playing outside to inside on the slot with Dansby tracking the back. Carlos gets the read and moves to bracket the slot shallow, there is no additonal threat to Gip's side.
- It's a possible miscommunication call from O'Neil?
- Bad check by the safeties?
- Piss poor communication between Gip and Tramon?
- Misunderstanding by the safeties?
- Gip flat out played it like an asshole? (most likely)
As a DB, If I see that neither the #2 and/or #3 to my side are vertical, I'm going to shade over the #1 if I'm playing the field side to give that man help. I'll be lining up outside the hash and not too close to the numbers to help disguise my look.
Tramon failed on getting a decent jam on Green. No easy task. AJ is tall, strong and has long arms. But a good jam allows a few things.
- Gives me time to read my keys and attack run to fill
- Recover (if necessary)
- Rotate over the top
- Plus it does tend to invite some ill-advised deep balls for QB's that simply don't look off the safety.
Ultimately I think Gip played it very, very bad. He has no additional coverage responsibility and this is what I HATE about production/TV film, I can't see if he was caught flat-footed from the ball action.
edit: Something very concerning about this. IF Gip was in fact meant to roll over the top and I'm right about Whitner man on with the TE, then you have a gigantic mismatch there that invites more doubt into O'Neil's calls.

Gip blowing it does fit with report in this or another thread that Tramon was pointing at Gip.
As for the TE match up... With Eifert out, can't be all that scary.

I say fire Pettine, fire O'Neil, promote Flip to interim coach, start Johnny, give him a Terrelle Pryor, start Gilbert across from Tramon, and let's see what we have for the future.
4 game audition.

^Literally this. I still want Flip around.. We could go without a DC the rest of the way and still improve..

It's still Donte in coverage after dealing with physical issues during the season. I'm skeptical. Also, I have a feeling the call would have been the same with Eifert in as well.

The only thing I don't like about the Bowe pickup is the pricetag. We had a need for a player like him.
I think/hope Farmer is smart enough to go House of Cards on this thing and earn Haslam's trust, positioning himself to be kept while Pettine fired. He seems sharp like that.
We had a need for a guy like Bowe?? Let's see 6'2 , check, slow as shit , check , lazy as fuck on Sunday's, check. Hell we needed me!! Shit id have taken the 10 snaps he's been in on for say $4 million. In addition I'd have done the team laundry and mowed the field. I'd have brought way more value to the Browns.The only thing I don't like about the Bowe pickup is the pricetag. We had a need for a player like him.

He also would have been our second leading receiver last year, so there is that.
The sheer amount of ignorance in this fan base is outstanding.

So do you feel if he would have played this year he would have been worth the 9 million? If not, it's hard to call others ignorant..

We had to spend the 9 million regardless, if he had replicated even his 2014 season it would have been a large WR threat we didn't have.
I don't have a problem with the acquisition, it made sense 5 months ago. I have a problem with him not even seeing the field, despite the fact we've been out scored by like 90 points over the last five or so weeks.
Fuck, if Alex Mack wanted to play FB at the end of the Bengals game, he should have got the chance.

I didn't bet anything Mik. Crap, the Rams just fired their offensive coordinator, and they're playing a lot better than the Browns.

Hogwash.
You can't fire a coordinator without firing the head coach, and you can't fire the head coach without firing the GM. Everybody knows that.

So? That is his excuse for covering the grass in front of him instead of the live human being wide receiver that is next to him?

No, it's Pet's defense of Tramon.
