Our D
-
Mmmh, Detroit? Minnesota? The first 5 Cincinnati drives when our offense at least was running some drives?
Every time our offense steps up (they haven't done it on daily basis), the D screws it up. They are better than the offense, but they don't take the team on their shoulders.
If you’re making a general point that their good play doesn’t sync with the offense’s, then make the general point. But don’t say “they don’t make a stop when you need them to” when with the game on the line, they did.
And clev is right that everyone’s expectations are way too high. This D is a year ahead of schedule.
But don’t say “they don’t make a stop when you need them to” when with the game on the line, they did.
When?
What I am saying is that you have a unit that is better than the other, and the worse unit gets going and scores and sustains drives, it's really frustrating that the defense plays worse. Maybe it's that they don't sync, but the same argument about defense being gashed after long rival possesions could be made the other way: they should be more rested when the offense steps up.

When we were down 7 with a few minutes left and our defense got a stop only to get screwed by the refs.

So "Stale Codger"?
Maybe. I don’t know what a codger is.
i know this. My memory goes back to Johnson, Kanicki, Houston, Beach , Parish, Fiss Kellerman, and others.
i know that in 1999 I bought 12 PSL’s and my buddies bought their season ticket from me. i’m down to 2. Myself and my son. He drives in from Milwaukee to sit with me every game.
I know this. Frank Minnifield is the best CB that I’ve ever seen play the game.
i know this. This defense is awful.
I know this. This is not an emotional response, but one based on my observations.
I know this. This is a lot of typing for an old codger (whatever that is)

Codger Roach...is just a way to say that you are a cranky old motherfuhucker.
Now...tell us if there is any inaccuracies in that statement?

True that. Awful call.
I forgot about that.

Schobert has been one of the best run-stop LB's in the league
I was wondering whst schobs rank at certain things was. I still think we may need to draft or sign some mlb'er depth in case he doesnt keep progressing. But u can see why we were highly ranked at run d with a healthy schob, collins and kirk

Yeah. I like Schobert. I think the LBs aren't that good covering, don't you think so? Or maybe it is because they don't have a lot of help by the safeties/cornerbacks in the underneath zone...

Points per game does not tell the whole story. Starting field position, time of possession, points per drive... all more telling and better indicators of a good D. As I posted before, our D is in the top half of the league in almost every category that matters, except forcing turnovers.
Its hard to fault a D that has to stop a team who is starting almost every drive near midfield, especially when most of those drives were held to FGs...
Can they get better? Of course. Are they the worst weve had? Not even close. Actually, last year was historically bad...

I dont understand why people think changing defenses weekly like its seasonal ward drobe, is one if these days gonna work out for us. I mean i wouldnt be "livid" if another 4-3 guy with a sim system to williams comes in.....but at some point u gotta wonder when the good coaches absolutely start avoiding clev. Like complete blacklisting. Its kind of tacitly already going on but it could get very public very vocal very quickly. Like coaches just flat out refuse to even interview. Not even cfl coaches are gonna come to these caustic merry go round

And even after the shitty call. Cincinatti had the ball at the 25 yard line. How did our defense step up after a bad call?
1-10-CLV 25 (3:51) (Shotgun) A.Dalton pass incomplete short left to A.Green (J.McCourty).
2-10-CLV 25 (3:48) J.Mixon right guard to CLV 11 for 14 yards (J.Peppers). R22
1-10-CLV 11 (3:02) J.Mixon left end for 11 yards, TOUCHDOWN.Damn...that's stepping up. 25 yards in two running plays. Looked more like swiss cheese than stepping up. But some of you enjoy the losses and think its positive to be 0-11 and 1-26 and 4-44 and our head coach is like 2-30 in his last 32 games.

Yep, figures you are one of those yardage stat dweebs.
There's a coach that used to coach the Browns - probably before you were hatched, who now coaches in New England and has repeatedly stated that the only stat he considers relevant is of course wins and losses, but when pressed further he has said that points scored and points allowed are the only stats he considers relevant, so I guess I'll hang with him.... bout what you expected?

New head coach...new defensive coordinator (got rid of the guys some of you are blowing around here as a fucking saint).
Which stats are more important? Your worthless total defense stat or the standings and wins and losses, you know those things they count to determine who makes the playoffs?

Vince Lombardi said about the same thing. Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
The NFL trophy is named for him too....go figure.

OK,...but compare their offenses. That is where the big difference is on that team.

Yep..they fired their inept head coach and brought in someone who can make a difference. Something the Browns should consider doing.

Ok ur not entirely without a point dude. But did u digest at allwhat gip said? They have a serious fukking running game and jared goff is on par with wentz now. That offense makes opponents offenses have to play differently. If goff gets out in front of teams quick what do u think the opposing teams have to do? Run the clock out as much as possible with a bunch of short up the middle runs? No....they have to pass. This forces their hand and the rams def benefits

Great...and what changed? Goff looked like a total bust last season...they fired their coaching staff including your boy Williams. You can't discount the improvements when the majority of the team stayed the same and the coaching staff changed. Goff and Gurley were on that 4-12 team last season, now they're 8-3. What changed for them? Could it be a better coaching staff?

That coach is going nowhere, surely he's a loser and isn't going to get a ring in his entire life...

Offensively speaking u prob have a point. But we cant know for sure exactlywhat the catalyst is/was. Is goff just matured now and it doesn't matter who the coach is? Or was there some major offensive scheme change? Or did the FO get in a better o line and thats why goff is playing better? So on that thought......go look up the rams ranking on sacks allowed last year vs where they are this year. Maybe tour can tell us if thats a major personnel overhaul and/or blocking scheme change with the same guys. "Something" obviously has clicked with that o line. Compare the 2016 with the 2017 teams. In 16 theres only one o line worse than the rams.......one guess is all u get

Did it in one season too. No need for them to go 1-40 first
