    To his defense there were a lot of key starters out for this game,  2 corners, peppers, Shelton, also Collins.  Garret was not himself either playing with injury.  We don't have the depth yet we need with those key injuries.  Played a more vanilla defense the whole game.  Not an excuse however every team has injuries.

    Ogbah.   Yes, the defense was missing a lot.   That still does not explain this style of giving 6-10 yards of cushion.

      I just think he has to be covering for a lack of talent at cb and fs. Can't put cover cb's out there when you don't have em...

      low scoring game vs being beaten 55 - 10?

        And every year in between. Difference is when Dorsey draft some defensive Playmakers this year the guys that they replace will become really good depth something the Browns have never had

        Hopefully that's the way it will work. Right now I believe Dorsey is looking at HC candidates. That and a franchise QB. If anyone thinks Hue will be here in February....puffpuffpass

          Ogbah, Collins, 0.5 of Garrett, Shelton... I'm surprised the game was competitive.  Our entire starting defense was already our depth. The only first-game non-FA starters out there were Kirksey [3rd round] and... Kindred [4th round].

          If you're calling Williams out I'm calling you out for unrealistic expectations.

                I am glad you posted this thread, I was watching this game in disbelief that we were in the prevent right after half time. That is the dumbest Sheet ever. I was watching it with Sisky Fringo (His name on here) and we got in a huge argument over it. He was saying it was the smart play smh. Maybe go to the prevent if you are up 21-7 with 5 min left in the game But not the entire 2nd half. We only rushed 3 guys the 2nd half.smh.

                  Greg Williams Blows. I told you he would be no more successful than Horton.

                  Why prevent? Simple, his D was gassed from blitzing 2 out of 3 downs. This guy is no defensive genius, he turns the volume up to 11 and then hopes crap happens. Aggressive? Yes. A Good DC? Fukck no. He blows.

                  The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL

                    There was no specific comments on the threads ( 'our D' and 'our D sucks'), but there were some comments here and there about what a terrible decision was going Prevent too early. It is a mistake that bad teams make.

                    Bingo... It's what pre-Gordon teams have done to us all year for the entire game. It's GB did in their opening drive of the 2nd half when they messed up the 4th and 1 at our 10-yl and lost 2-yd. And that was after a 3rd and 1 we stuffed for no gain.

                    No need to apologize for a good, rational post. There's a difference between making excuses and objective analysis.

                    Our deepest area on the entire team going into this season was the DL. We've suffered steady DL losses through the entire year and had two significant contributors Inactive this week.

                    The term depth is shorthand for "Depth of Talent". Once upon a time we had it in the DL room... not so much now.

                      The as yet unaddressed corollary is that Hue got very conservative on Offense in the 2nd half.

                      Hell even our 3rd-QTR TD drive... the drive that started when GB turned the ball over on downs when our lame-a$$, no count D stopped them from gaining a yard on 3rd and 4th down midway thru the 3rd... was primarily on the ground.

                      Subsequent drives were 6 and out and 5 and out.

                      That and Hue undoubtedly told Gregg to go Prevent... it's what HCs do.

                      Phucking Ghoulified geniuses that think it was Greg that decided to go "prevent".
