This coming season is going to ROCK !

Chess pieces, and jigsaw pieces.
So the season is going to ROCK because of some euphemisms about chess, and jigsaw pieces. That, in conjunction with the fact that the guys seemed to reall gel together when they recently played laser tag and rode go carts.
Here is a line of questions I have for you Calsnots. I can't remember your posts back to the Chris Palmer days, but I do remember your posts through the Butch Davis, Phil Sewage, Crennel, Holmgren days, up till today. You are a bright guy and a good football student, so in those days, without exception, you posted very, very much the identical thing........... the "finally" we have someone who is going to build a foundation... it will take time but we are finally on the right track......
Do you see the dichotomies here?
- You have posted more than once before that " FINALLY, we are going to do it the right way". This causes you to lose credibility, and basically expose yourself as a regular guy who just wants to enjoy his team and get excited about it. A cool aide drinker. Now, there is nothing at all wrong with that. I love the Browns too, but you see as a poster, you, and many others have given this same rah-rah looking forward more than once in the past. Puzzles and chess, is like a political speaker promising hope and change.
- If this is so much more on the right track, why did you not blast the regimes of the past, because if I am hearing you right, those guys were wrong and you, seeing how we are on the right track now, should have known we were on the wrong track with those other guys.
Eesh - the kiss of death, Cal.
See, Ghoolie may not know much, but she does know more than anyone about inconsistent posts and how to lack credibility.

Well, it's all going to depend on what your definition of "rocks" is, and just how high expectations are.
If anybody is expecting playoffs, I feel that they'll be disappointed (nothing is impossible, but odds are VERY much against it, lol) My expectations are that we'll be a better coached football team, as evidenced by things like lower penalties, better clock management, closer games, and I think an overall more talented roster. These are just my expectations (hopes), but we'll see how it plays out.
If we're going to win a few more games than the pundits are predicting, then we we'll need many of our young cats to step up, and several other veterans to return to form. In my opinion, our team can win five games and have a solid season. As stupid and crazy as that sounds, I believe it to be true. The season is a success if RG III plays at a level consistent with being an NFL starter. If we finally have our QB, then it's time to start moving forward. Additionally, if we also have our COACH, we can finally start to add other pieces and begin the process of assembling a winner. It's just about impossible to build a winner when you don't have a coach for more than a year or two and you don't have your QB. Not many would argue with that.
Our team could "rock", but it will all depend on what your definition is.

well, I never posted what I posted before this year.
I've hoped in the past, and thought a change was going to be THE change.
but never once have I ever thought we now have the perfect coaches for the
excellent draft at the perfect time.
See, most of us, know that the wr position is one of the weakest in the NFL.
Sure, I'm a positive guy - ya think a new change will finally get weaknesses fixed,
and then they draft guys on football mag ratings and video's alone. Then they
end up with knuckleheads that don't give a crap. end of that - just another
dismal start.
It's one thing to hail changes, and another to see that the last change is
the perfect storm...er....change.
Sure, a lot of us have had our hopes raised, only to witness another draft that
didn't fix the oline in the past, or more recently, didn't dramatically fix the
wr position.
Optimism eventually tends to be the same old storm that floods the town
with water and debris.
Now, you're a smart guy, but your antagonistic posts aren't your best possible
contributions to the board, Ghoolish.
Hue is the perfect coach to come to the Browns. A ton of experience, really upbeat,
tough as nails, funny, knows the division inside and out, has excellent asst coaches
around him..
and bashing him before he has a chance is just not smart.
And this last draft. treadwell is not the wr the Browns needed. They needed an explosive
burner off the los and downfield. You might have had a point if he was the only wr
drafted, but they really grabbed some other wr's that fit what they want to do.
In all your exaltation of yourself, you are making negative opinions that don't seem
to be supported by doing some research on the net first.
Let me give you an example. You go all ghoolish and hatefully claim the Browns didn't
draft a dfference maker star wr.
Do you know that Treadwell, often the #1 rated pick, only runs a 4.65?
Do you know that Barnidge, at TE, ran a 4.65 in his combine?
And, I just read yesterday, that Treadwell looked like he was having a bit of
trouble getting away from coverage.
I'm not dissing Treadwell, but the Browns needed an explosive field stretcher,
and that's exactly what Coleman is.
And your wailing and wailing about Paxton Lynch. Tennessee drafted their star qb,
and they ended up at the #1 slot in the entire draft after his first year.
A star franchise qb has to have a solid, stable offense around him to be
able to step in and run with it.
Enough complaining already. I have hay to cut, a giant garden to weed because
of rototiller problems and a late planting and didnt get the newspaper laid soon
enough, and a drought, and a long list of other stuff going on.
So you just have somebody sing you the "BE PATIENT" song and try to give
Hue a chance, give this draft a chance, to show you the dramatic improvement
I see this first year. I'm always happily optimistic, then it crashes.
This isn't going to be crashing nothin. Instead of thinking we might really
be turning the corner (and crashing)... I know that this coaching staff
will NOT. And this last draft, reflected, FINALLY, an emphasis on also looking
at love for the game, football smarts, toughness, and character.
I think with the criteria used in this last draft, most all the draft failure
picks by the Browns over the years... would never have happened.
and every single time, when a coaching staff has a "system" and tries to
stuff all sorts of round players into square holes, it's failure time.
Hue and company know better. Why not try to stop being so Ghoulsies and
angrily poutsies, and give this perfect storm a chance to come together,
and shock the rest of the division ?

My definition of "rock", means the offense will be explosive, playmaking
ability will drive defenses nuts, playcalling will finally be smart,
and the offense will be all in, and believe in it.
The defense is interesting - the additions aren't as dramatic, maybe,
but the restructuring and smarter calls will make an obvious difference.
Running the dline on and off the field every play, so much of the time,
is the most dumbass thing I've seen. Sure, on paper, some goof could figure
each play, he'll get the best matchups..whatever.
That's in the past. Previous coaching staffs have lost the players' confidence,
due to ineptness, and a couple of players around them that didn't fit, didn't care,
etc.
I'm not claiming the Browns will be in the playoffs - but the dline rotation
is going to be outstanding, the lb's - I won't be surprised if they have fun
playing this defense. This whole Browns team is going to have fun being a
TEAM again.
Remember, Hue knows the weaknesses as well as anybody else in the NFL...
BEFORE he became the head coach of the Browns. Previous Browns coaches didn't
know their OWN weaknesses - look at how they drafted.
trouble is, I think the Browns will be so good, that they may fall out
of the top ten in next year's draft.
Who knows... but this is finally going to be a FUN RIDE.

Never played battleship, so if it based on strategical moves then I couldn't agree more.
True team sport, where everyone has a role on every play.
When kids play football they're playing a mans game.
When men play baseball or basketball, they're playing a kids game.

Well, I suppose it can be strategical.....but they can also be based on luck....like many games:

Hockey a mans game as well.
Soccer is for sissies.
Going back to football, it is the most complex. Involving any more strategies and plays which can be devised.
I'm not sure that baseball or basketball is complicated enough to require players taking home a playbook to study.
Don't think baseball and basketball players are required to take the Wonderlic test either.

You've never played battleship? I just read through the entire Ghoolie v Flugel thread and this is by far the craziest thing I've read today.
