    I don't buy the "whole new system" thing.

    I do.

    It's not a big deal for the RBs...but timing between receivers and the QB on new routes takes time to acquire.  Not to mention our 1st round pick needing to learn a new position...and of course the OL having perhaps three new pieces.  They have to learn how to work together.

    Too much newness to expect great things.  I'm not drinking the kool-aid nor will I entertain hype.   ---  i think buying into the hype last year by the team was a major problem.  Guys were not working hard enough nor taking it seriously enough.  After all, they were gonna be in the super bowl without even stepping onto the field.

    That's what I'm worried about too. I think all the teams with new coaching staffs may be behind the 8 ball.

    Like others mentioned,  the defense is a concern. I'm glad Wilks is gone, that scheme sucked. But it may take time to gel

    OL Play, protect the cornerstone..

    LB, pretty thin there, guess we will see if Mack and Co step up. Hopefully after training camp cuts, there will be some unexpected LB cuts.

    Coaching. Freddie was way in over his head,  Stef. hopefully plants the foundation going forward.

    There are a limited amount of routes ran,

    Yes there are...but there are routes that some offensive systems really don't run.

    We have the talent to be successful.  If the ducks line up nicely.

    True. If there is an epiphany. Let Stef have a chance. Let him run it.

    More than a given in our case. It's of paramount importance.

    Save maybe QB and Safety we don't have the depth to lose any starter without a serious talent fall off.

    Hold the other team to fewer points every game.

    Have to define "many", but yes, more than a couple are very different.

    Coaching.

    We all saw just how different the same talent performed with Hue compared to Greg.

    People seem to forget that this team is LOADED.  Not only that, but

    1. they fixed their biggest weakness by replacing the head coach, upgrading from Kitchens to Stefanski.
    2. They also fixed their second-biggest weakness by buffing the OL with Conklin and Wills.  
    3. Buried in all this good news is that they added the BEST TE in the league in Austin Hooper.  And that is critical to beating the Steelers because a dynamic pass-catching TE slows their pass rush a lot.

    Substitute "Starting lineup" for "team" and my point is remade. 🙂

    This "loaded" team better score a ton of points because I still see a defense that is mediocre at best.

    Do you think Woods will make a difference?

    The Browns get a new DC every year... nothing really changes, with the exception of that one year with Dick Jauron. 

    We'll see. My worries about the defense are more about the general talent on that side of the ball. There's some talent for sure, but their are some big, gaping holes too.
