Grossi Interview from 6/25 Browns Daily Show
-
Grossi was effusive in his praise for Tyrod Taylor, but he said his one major concern is Tyrod doesn't have good statistics in 2 minute situations when his team is trailing.
Tyrod is not the kind of QB for 2 minute drills. He wants guys to be wide open. He doesn't like to try and throw guys open. That's why he doesn't throw that many INT's. He doesn't like taking chances.
Joe Thomas said it a couple of years ago. You cannot RUN yourself down the field in the 2 minute drill. You NEED that QB that can bring you down the field for the win. This is why Buffalo went in another direction....and it's why we drafted Mayfield. Tyrod is better than anything we had last year....but he's a placeholder for what everyone hopes is our REAL QB.

Yeah, it's sort of tough to argue this point, and ultimately, you could be correct. I mean, NFL teams simply DON'T trade their playoff QB very often, regardless if they squeaked in or not. I guess my only counterpoint would be Tyrod hasn't historically lead teams down the field in 2 minute situations, but he also hasn't had the HORSES on offense either. It might sound like I'm making excuses for the guy, and perhaps I am, but a QB can't do it all, right? I think we'd all agree that QB is the most pivotal position, perhaps in all of sports, but Tyrod still needs people to throw it to, people to CATCH it, and guys to actually get open. I'm not saying the Browns are going to have the most explosive offense in the league, nor am I saying we have the best skill players in the game, but for once you can at least MENTION who we have on offense without snickering, and that's at the very least. We get something out of Corey Coleman and I'm not sure how you're going to stop our offense, and that's the truth. The combination of our skill position players AND our new OC make us an interesting topic of discussion. Do I think we'll be explosive? No, I don't really think our offensive strategy will be BUILT that way. But do I think we'll be in the bottom 5 of NFL offenses? Nope.

https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2018/06/29/browns-must-improve-passing-out-of-run-pass-options/ click on pff RPO's stats success..I get the feeling Haley has the idea of improving Tyrod's 20 reps in Rpo's & Baker thrives in them with lincoln riley. Our running backs can run it & Our OL can block for it not dropping backwards into pass pro..just wish our QB's were 2 inches taller to see it and rip it..I like we play at Philly pre-season game 3.The starters should at least see 1st half. Foles vs Baker should be fun too

That's a fair point about the RPO's. It won't be the CENTRAL focus of our offense, but as you indicated, it will be something we fold heavily into the mix. RPO's are something Baker does well, and Tyrod does too. I'm already seeing the RPO run-fake where Tyrod hits Gordon on that slant. What's really fun is that we have Gordon who excels at that route, but also Duke and Landry who have a nasty slant, too. To be honest, I'd LOVE to see Corey get involved and catch a few passes IN STRIDE for once. If we could just get Corey the ball in full stride, I think we'd actually see what we've all been hoping for. We have weapons, we know this. We haven't HAD them in what seems like forever and a day. Now, we need some luck for everyone to stay healthy. I worry about the soft tissue injuries, as well as the more severe variety, while going through training camp. Callaway needs to come back healthy and STAY that way. He's already lost time and we need him to be on the same page. He's raw, but very talented, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him returning punts from the get-go.
It's been another week, and presumably another week of no "Negative Josh Gordon News". I really think he's "got it", and I'm rooting so hard for him both as a player and a man. My biggest fear for Gordon is a severe injury. Obviously it doesn't make sense to worry about what you can't control, but a severe injury could send Josh into a dark place, and I don't want that for him (or anybody). It's funny, I almost can't believe my eyes when I look at our receivers. Not only do we have "playmakers", but we have guys that can CATCH. Both Gordon and Landry have absurd hands, as does Duke IMO. Oh, and don't count out Higgins either. Kizer really screwed him last year, and with a decent QB, you might see Higgins pop a bit more. Just a hunch.

5 or maybe even 6 is a fair number. The funny thing is, I don't see it being LOWER than 5, which is almost hysterical considering we're 1-31 over two years (vomit). The key to our entire season (IMO) is the opener. We haven't had much luck against Pittsburgh (duh), and we've had even LESS luck in openers (double DUH), but if we somehow win THIS game, we might not be talking about 5 or 6 wins. It could be MORE. I know, I know....let's not get ahead of ourselves. But that first game is everything in my eyes. We find a way to figure this opener out, and all of the sudden, things could get a bit interesting. Would I BET on us winning it? HECK NO.
But...strange things happen in week 1 of the NFL season. Nothing would be stranger than for us to win that game, and it certainly feels like it's freaking TIME. Win against the Steelers, probably lose on the road against the Saints (no shame there), and then come home and make a STATEMENT against the Jets.

Oh yes that is the Gipper, remember the movie in that scene when future prez of these United States said......and I remember it so well, a real tear jerker...... "don't just win one for the Gipper damn it, win them all!"
Oh Ronnie, one of Hollywood's truly great actors.

could they draw up a weirdier start to a season? #1)Haley Beats Ben!!! would you believe with some of the rosters we have toted?>>> #2) the last time the Browns have lost in NOLA?=1990..Since 1993 the Browns are 5-1 sweeping last 4 in NOLA..splitting 2 in Cleveland.G.Williams against his old QB in Brees also..For the trifecta? Surely we get McCown & the counting Crows with Jets? Edit--Pit stop in hometown Toledo,Oh..JT Day special at sis house..Brats & german potatoes with Yinglings..Belch! and am off to Ickie-gan..Safe travels (wife in the C..ockpit)

Uhm, no. About average in each of his jobs.

2 minutes offense isn’t nearly as important as this guy’s making it out to be.
