    Browns run OL was better than Eagles. Titans, Vikings and Bills. All 2107 post season teams. They were in the same neighborhood as Chiefs and Jags too. Not shabby company. Left side of the OL appears to be strong. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol

    When people say the Browns dont have talents its a lie.

    Good topic for discussion, but not sure how much we can discern until the pads go on. 

    I do like that the core 3 in Tretter, Bitonio and Zeitler have a year playing together. That’s a foundation to me. Simply having a foundation to build upon seems like a herculean accomplishment for my team. Godspeed ahead!

    Well said.  I'm not as high on Tretter as you but his backup played well for us before getting hurt.  I'm quite concerned about our 'bookends'.  I'm anxious to see.

    I agree. Strong in the middle, questionable on the edges.

    Great chart that tells the story. Thanks for posting it.That left side was strong.Now disappeared, with the plan of moving the right side numbers now to the Left. Just sounds plum crazy till live bullets start to fly. Hubbard from its'berg, should better those right side numbers. But it would not shock me if Hubbard gets a shot at LT spot? Ourlads put Greg Robinson moving to RT? Corbett also spent time at RT in OTA's.  

  • I like Tretter, and it seems everyone else likes him well enough because there isn’t any press out there about our dire need to replace center. Not the stoutest but uber athletic and good instincts. I think we all saw when Mack went down how much it sucked to be iffy at center. I got no worries there.

    The bookends are my only concern at present, and also seems to be the focal point of the press. Who will replace Joe?!? Hubbard is new to us, but all indications are he earned his stripes with Pittsburg. Coleman is moving down the other end, but he played there all his life until he went pro.

    Good call on Tretter https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-ranking-offensive-lines-by-pass-blocking-efficiency  Tyrod at Bills had #2 help from his OL last season. Tyrod alone should improve these numbers just by getting the ball out QB's hands. With some actual weapons!

    Athlon is a great mag.

    QB killed this club last season. I think Hue kept on rolling Kizer out there to prove that he made the right decision. Kept putting the ball in his hands. With a RB like Bell, Pitt had to run the ball alot last year. Haley will take advantage of the Browns OL and run too I would imagine.

    Or were they' speed dating to find the kids success level into the next draft? I just can't put the puzzle pieces together on Huejax. JT & others have said Hue can coach this team to wins. 1 in 2 years. In the way Hue has handled the QB position, Hue needs to win with Tyrod. period.. I honestly have seen enough of the tug of war of rookie QB's from Kessler/Hogan & Kizer that Mayfield needs to follow every word from Todd Haley.Hue was no better with vets in McCown or RG3 at whispering. So Tyrod may want to follow Haley word also. Flacco maybe Hues best work. Dalton can't seem to score without Hue.Word has it buffalo, AJ McCarron softball lops get pigeon shot down by Allens barn-less bullets. While Haslem was tugging Hue here,Philly found there SB coach in a X-Brown's QB in Doug Petterson.Hue has the talent to win now. but if he fails? let's just say, I have Curbed my Enthusiasm in Hugh

    I agree. Strong in the middle, questionable on the edges.

    'run OL' is unfortunately for the browns a much less important part of the offensive line in 2018.
