The official Terry Pluto thread

Well, they made up for reducing the penalties by not covering people and then not tackling them.
Some tradeoff.
Well yeah... there is that!

Arians would need to hire a strong coordinator. His expertise is offense.
Would he keep Greg Williams as defensive coordinator?
I’d like to see that. For once, the Browns would have some continuity.
Even greater continuity?
Keep Williams as HC and hire Arians as OC.

I like Greg Williams quite a bit but I question the lack of run defense which has a tendency to tire out the entire defensive team by the end of the game. Maybe I'm just not paying enough attention to the stats but it seems like we've got less than our share of three-and-outs defensively.

Having a former college QB as OC should help Mayfield.

....... Arians is taking this season off. He has told the Canton Repository and ESPN the Browns job is the one opening worth his consideration.
If Arians is heathly, rested and looking for one last challenge — he must be considered a serious candidate.
Last time someone called plays for the Browns when they made the playoffs, that man’s name was Bruce Arians.
The season was 2002.
He left the Browns after the 2003 season.......

Just how do you read or take this? I'm 66 and as good as I ever was -or- I'll give it one last shot (and hope I don't get run over on the sidelines).
The man? Temporary patch? Advisor? Hmmmmm.

20. PREDICTION: FALCONS 31, BROWNS 18. My record this season is 4-4-1 guessing results of Browns games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ooooops, goes to show how hard it is to predict what a very young team will do, how they will respond to changes in the NFL.
AND the bye week, bad timing or what?

If I'm hot I want to play not sit. You can get rusty after a bye even a Thursday game.
Besides what are we die hards gonna do Sunday?
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

You could offer the boys from the Queen City some Gay Therapy. I hear that Zombo is a Certified Counselor in that area.
And you can send the guys from Baltimore to Charm School. (seeing that Baltimore is called "Charm City".....why? I have no clue. It really isn't all that charming, not really. My nephew lives there.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In his new book “The Browns Blues,” Terry Pluto analyzes what went wrong for the Cleveland Browns as they compiled the worst record in the NFL over the past two decades. It’s an in-depth look at upheaval in the front office, frustration on the field and heartache in the stands. This excerpt is the third in a series of five.
Bill Cowher.
That’s who Lerner wanted to hire as coach........
It does sound interesting plus Terry is a good writer. And then there's Cowher's tie ins with the BROWNS both as a player and coach, who knows what might have been?

Frankly I'd like to see the Browns go 4 + 2 or even 5 + 1 at keep Greg Williams. Even three and three should be a consideration. NFL experience , a Mean Streak and has probably learned his lesson in New Orleans.
