Our defense is #6 in rushing and #9 overall.

I sometimes have to vociferously remind myself that some of u are just random internet people and not a microcosm of the actual browns fan base. Cause if alot of u are indicative of the gen mood of the fanbase we might as well let the browns leave again and just firget about football alltogether.
If a top 10 defense isnt reason enough for sone of u to stick with this latest rebuild, than theres no hope. I get it, u want wins. Well the wins will come if we stfu and let Sheet get built. Frankly if i see a top 5 defense next year in all categories which is a distinct possibility if we get some secondary help and possibly another vet or two in the front 7....god dareus and danny would have been something else....but if we keep what we have and add just a few pieces this could be special. This could be the kibd of defense that sends roethlisberger into retirement.
I give a fuk about wins and losses if we have a def next year which knocks fools like roethlisberger the fuk out.

You have to have an idea of how to fix that. "fire everyone" does not count.
i get that as well....but what would be the solution in your opinion? just deal with another no win season? or make changes? who? for what?

Evaluate after next season.

Unfortunately I think it is. I remember at the 2015 Browns Backers draft party everyone was pissed we got Shelton instead of some noname receiver, and most here at least wanted Shelton. So this board might actually be more intelligent than the general fanbase lol.

?????
so no changes FO or staff-wise and ride another no win season next year as well, then at the end of THAT year (a lot of us don't have many years left) then make decisions?
like needing to get that molar pulled a year prior, now it's cracked in half and rotten. your dentist/oral surgeon looks at you with disgust because he told you THEN that this would happen NOW as he has to cut your jaw open, just giving you enough local anesthetic where you're not flying out of the chair but you are feeling every second of it with your hands clawed into the leather like a cat in a bathtub.
u felt this way about the holmgren experiment as well?
hmmmmmmmm.

I don't have any idea. But I"m not going to pump up the defense as being great when those games happened. I'm not even saying that we should get rid of Williams, I think he's got the defense on the right track. But I'm still not going to blow the defense as being great or even good when there have been at least 3 games where they were ass raped in the first half of games so that kinda puts the "they're tired" excuse to rest doesn't it?
Are they better than last year, sure...probably but there's still a long way to go.

Listen, no ones lining up to line toss anybodys salad. I already stated they were weak on passing. But being #9 in overall defense when the new DC landed in clev 9 months ago isnt half bad and absolutely warrants not blowing this up again next year

Not "probably", they are better than last year. U do remember how bad we were last year right?

it might take u awhile to find the browns what with all the scrolling you'll have to do.

They're still 0-8 so you can post all the stats you want. zero for 8 is still zero for 8.

So we've improved a couple spots in passing defense and essentially made a quantum leap in rush defense. 31st to 6th.......someone ought to getbtheir salads tossed for that

People who want to point fingers and whine simply ignore facts ---- and when facts are presented, they avoid the facts even harder. Overhauling an organization is not easy.. despite the many assertions that "Just hire a football guy!" would naturally immediately be followed by endless riches. No doubt that's the same bunch who assert "Just draft playmakers!" yields infinite super bowls.
Funny how the two people on this forum who have executed organizational change at the C-suite level [Tour and myself] realize that it's a long tough slog with many factors and milestones along the way.
If you have no boots-on-the-ground knowledge of something, the smart way to approach that thing is to ask someone who has already done it... before formulating your own opinion.
I think achieving results happens to demonstrate that "The Process" is working. Not complete by any stretch, but we're better now than we were last season. And next season there's no reason to assume we won't be better than we are this season.
Just to be clear, Browns are #1 in Yards Given Up Per Rushing Attempt [total rushing yards / number of rushing plays].. I don't know what metric is being discussed when saying "we're #6" -- what is the numerator and denominator of that metric?

I dont know wut ur looking at but the browns def actually has the lowest ypc of any team in the nfl while being the most rushed against
browns yds per attempt is 2.9.... best in the league. Yds per game overall is like 84. Thing tho is that all the teams above them havent been rushed against as much. Prob because those teams offenses actually score so the opposing offenses have to throw more.

Since we don't play for 12 days, I'll set the over/under at 13 days before the next report of injury comes out on Courtney............

Yep, stub his toe in practice. Get a hang nail. Or a cold sore and miss the next two games.

It’s comforting to know that we have all of these positive metrics to discuss in April when we’re picking at #1 again.
