    I hope fans don't freak out if we lay an egg next week (although I don't think it's likely). 

    I can think of one Gregg Williams "fan" who would throw him under the bus, drive over him with said bus, then back the bus up over Williams and drive over him again if they lose again.

    Yeah, I know. But I kind of like that fickle, grumpy fan who poses as a trouble-maker. He's not so bad! 

    Anyway, it's rather exciting to think about our team being as healthy as they're going to be next week. Knock on wood, we've been rather lucky with the injury bug. A solid week of rest will do much to heal the nagging type injuries, and we already know our energy is high.

    Believe it or not, there's a ton of pressure on our team right now. We're healthy, we're coming off a giant win, we're playing the team our embattled former coach went to, it's a road game, and it's a division game to boot. We've heard about "stacking wins", winning on the road, finishing games....it's time to start putting it all together. 

    I'm not saying we would've WON, but man....I would've loved to see us play the Chiefs at full strength. Randall and Schobert are just THAT important.

    It's actually somewhat entertaining to watch him play some of you. It's like a few of you have Stockholm Syndrome.

    That fickle, grumpy "fan" knows the Browns aren't going to give Gregg Williams the head coach job, unless the Browns absolutely play out of their mind. So when the Browns lose any games under the eventual guy they DO hire as head coach next year and beyond, he can pat his back and tell everyone how the Browns Shmucked up by not giving Gregg Williams the job. The same Gregg Williams he called a thug and a coffee fetcher all season long. And if the Browns would hire him, the "fickle, grumpy fan" will turn on him in a second anyways.

    My god, some of you are so gullible. Bridge sales must be brisk.

    I'm an optimistic jerk. What can I say? ?

    But seriously, I think just about everyone knows you're probably right. For reasons others and I have said, Gregg and company won't likely be back, BUT....if the squad DOES ball out, it gets a little tricky. 

    I'm just glad Baker got to experience another win last week. It really felt like the losing was starting to take a toll on Baker, and it's quite a leap for a confident QB to make coming from a realm where ONE loss literally can cost you your season goals, and then going to a place where losing is almost a way of life. But like I said earlier, stacking wins is the next step. Can we, as a team, put together two complete games? Offense, defense, AND special teams? It's a big ask, and it'll get tougher as the weather deteriorates. 

    This upcoming draft appears light on certain things we need, such as WR, but heavier on other things, such as DL. I can't comment on the 2019 LB class, but I'll research later today. I think we'll draft a WR at some point, but I would really expect our WR assistance to come in the form of a FA signing, or giant trade. I honestly believe the O'Dell Beckham trade has legit wings, and it wouldn't surprise me to see the Giants start making moves in order to accumulate assets. O'Dell, Landry, Higgins, and Callaway is quite lineup. 

    Anyway, sorry for the long message. Enjoy your Sunday, Dutch! You've always been one of the best on the board. 

  • Just so there isn't any confusion, I've also been impressed by the job done by Williams and Kitchens. 

    The team is playing disciplined and seem to be on the same page. I'm digging it.

    But I just don't see Dorsey hitching his wagon to Gregg Williams, I don't think he's really even on his radar. For Williams to get the job, he's going to have to absolutely force Dorsey to have to hire him. Looking at the schedule, I just don't see how that is going to happen.

    I think it will depend too when they "round up the usual suspects" and the new surprise names that come up interested in the BROWNS HC job......at about $4 or $5 million/yr or so.  It's like waiting for Christmas and it will be here before you know it.

  • Am l mistaken or is Williams still technically under contract as the DC for another year or 2 after this?

    This is his second year with the Browns, I would imagine he signed a 3 or 4 year contract when he hired in.

    Fkugs, it was not even about winning, although sheeeeeet.    that was the schidt. Just look at the team. That wasn't a fluke. A fluke win is you get a couple great calls and ball bounces, breaks.

    Every part of the team was juiced. These players like this guy. The energy level was like sailors at a whorehouse on payday.

    This is something we have not seen since before 1995. 

    If I am Haslam, my search is over.He has done more in a week than Hue did in 2 years. 

    Part of it is- Hue's Country Club practices- and not holding players accountable- went out the door with him. Don't know if you saw Hard Knocks, but what I got out of it is Williams is the type of coach the players will respect- or else. Not Hue's bluster when he dissed Haley telling him- you don't sit in this (HC) chair, when in fact both Haley and Williams had.

    Larry, honestly I couldn t bring myself to watch. Hue Jackson made me puke. Noce giy, but he was a con man.

    That's pretty much the going rate to land a new HC but they are so secretive about those things. Most published HC numbers are put together rumours.

  • And when he was asked on what he may have learned working with hue.... Williams completely dodged the question. Funny stuff there.  He’s way different as a head coach than he was as DC in the way he conducts himself. Talks more like a coach too. That childish nanny talk from the last one was like nails on a chalkboard.
