Hue's 09-19-16 Presser: Weeks-to-Week, Possibilities, Good Questions and Things not "Totally Broken"

The Browns Board

  • I don't think Hue sucks, but I DO thinks he tries to get too smart when calling plays. I think we had a 3rd and 2 and he called a QB option with McCown. Umm...not good. In theory, the play looked like it could've worked, but you could tell that Josh wasn't comfortable running it. The fake punt? Not ideal.

  • I do think that Hue can come off a lot as a bit of a pussy. Maybe its his soft spoken, never get angry style. He should have been hot about that call on Pryor, instead its "aw shucks, we didn't lose because of one ref's call (he is right...it could have been because of a half dozen wrong ref's calls).

    I am not saying he should be a mad man, or change his nature, but sometimes you have to show that there are things that piss you off some, even if it comes out subtlely.

    Perhaps it's just too subtle for you.

    No, its too pussified for me. Maybe where you are from you like your athletes and coaches to be pussies. You are too used to all those preening pansies that play soccer. We don't like it that way here.

    (aren't you supposed to be climbing around a hoodoo or something?)

  • I too was hoping for a bit more fire. Look, when your team is up 20-0, and about to go up 21-0 and you screw up so badly on an EXTRA POINT...it's very hard to blame the refs for anything. What really hurts is EVERY SINGLE FAN knew at that point our team would lose. Don't deny it. You all knew. I wish to God that I didn't think that way, but history drives my cynicism.

    That last call on Pryor (and the one on Coleman) just proves how difficult it is to win when you're a Brown. Hue Jackson probably had NO IDEA how difficult it would be when he signed the dotted line. In Cleveland, things don't go your way. Injuries will come in waves. The ball won't bounce how you think it will. You'll complete a 3rd and 23 after the ball bounces off of two people, but your first round draft pick center will take off down field and negate the amazing first down. That's how it is when you're a Brown. Nothing comes easy.

    If Hue didn't know it before, he does now.

  • Hue's positivity will be huge in getting things turned around. Take the good with the bad.

    No,You suck Ass. So whats your problem with HUE? Its week 2 DEAD HARD

    DieHard's problem with Hue (and Horton and Hamilton and RG3...) is, shall we say, only skin deep?

    Oh no he di-nt
  • Opal, your barking up the wrong tree..Hue only coaches the goods received from Sashi-Depo. Even with RG3 in Hues pocket, Hue watched both Pro Days. but imo i say Sash-Depo closed that door on Jackson... proof.. the old Vets $ & FA were all gone soon after & Sushi Trade-Mart was up & running..

    This.

  • Hue made one mistake by passing on Carson Wentz. He's now got the entire season to be reminded what a dumbass trade it was! Wentz looks good and the Eagles have an easy schedule. I would not be surprised if they go to the playoffs in that division.

    Oh well! Hue's a good guy and I'm optimistic about Kessler and Hogan.

    Neither he nor the Browns other passed over QB, Prescott, has thrown an interception yet. In fact Prescott is the first rook in NFL history to throw 75 passes in his first two games with zero interceptions. Wentz faces Pitt. and Prescott plays da Bears so something has to break this weekend.

    And the guy who takes the most shit from Zombo says bs to that. Be a fan of the young players on this team and just enjoy the long term process. Nothing like following a team making a major change, growing pains, mistakes and all. So we missed Wentz (and Prescott). We have players now and next year for the price we paid. And this team needed lots of players. Sure it hurts to see Wentz and Prescott play on better teams, but they both started far better than this cluster fuck did.

    And for how many years now has it been....nowhere to go but up? And then sink further into the abyss. The past 2 Sundays gave me some of the same feelings I had watching a loved one dying of cancer. So I will take the steps necessary to avoid those feelings. I get the Plain Dealer and can read about them on Monday but Sundays are going to be spent doing things that make me feel happy. When I start wishing for modell back.... it's real bad. They won't change.... I will

    Having personally watched multiple loved ones die from cancer recently, I fail to see how the two compare in the least.

    20th and 9th in total defense, respectively.

    6th and 21st in passing defense.

    It's not like he faced the two worst defenses in the league.

    The guy is more than likely a good QB - which puts another notch in my belt (along with some others) and once again proves that our talent evaluation of the QB position is lacking.

    Yes they do. It leaves me with a hopeless feeling. Not comparing life, just the lousy feelings of not being able to do anything to change things

  • Things aren't "totally broken" but Corey Coleman's hand is

    Prescott--The guy that got a (friend cop) to give him a DWI knowing the Browns were inquiring..After ManHell we had no chance getting Dak..

    That true? If so I can't say I blame him for not wanting to come stay in QB Graveyard.

    a friend cop? nobody will ever know. but lets just say the visit with the browns than DWI were very suspicious. Cost Dak some dough in draft stock. But he's on the way to getting that back
