PFF Puts Teller, Conklin and Garrett on Their Q1 All-Pro Team
-
Good to see Ali has made a name for himself elsewhere at least.
I went back and watched his limited snaps from game 1 and 2 - Jordan Elliot played surprisingly decent ( for a rookie) what does PFF have him graded at?

It's like I was saying the other day, we're actually fast approaching the time where we have to pay Teller. I don't know that I can remember a player improving so much in such a short time. There are many factors that go into his stellar play, including scheme, weight room dedication, surrounding talent, and just flat out confidence, but the fact is that he is grading out at absurd levels, and we now have a decent sample size.
I'm not kidding, there are run plays where I'm literally watching Teller. When is the last time you watched an offensive lineman?! To be fair, every OL prefers to run block, and we've been fortunate enough to do LOTS of it, but he's more than held his own in pass pro too, which is nutso. I'm actually laughing to myself thinking of a few times when Teller was out in space on a run and the DB or LB made a "business decision" and barely tried to get past him. Teller gets moving and looks for punishment. I love it.
How much is he worth? That depends. He's worth quite a bit to us because of our scheme. He's mobile, gigantic, angry, and loves to hit people. He might not be as effective in a different scheme, but he's PERFECT for us. I also think our OL coach, Bill Callahan, is probably one of the best in the league.
If you guys haven't watched the latest episode of Building the Browns on YouTube, you're missing a LOT. There are so many terrific sound bytes of Stefanski during the game and they'll make you chuckle. On one, we got down to the 1 yard line and he goes, "Don't worry fantasy football people, I'm giving it right back to him." LOL! Chubb then scores on the next play. On another one, coach said during that one game-clinching Bengals drive, "Guess what everyone. We're running the fucking ball." We then proceeded to run it 7 times in a row for a TD.
I just feel like our OL and our personnel are clicking at a level we haven't seen before. We look A LOT like San Francisco did a year ago, but we don't have the same defense. Obviously I know we're not going 15-1, and we're GOING to have games where we are behind and we have to pass more, but damn...we are really clicking right now, and as long as Hunt isn't hurt too badly we're going to be a tough out. Hunt can things that others can't, and if he gets 30 total touches this week, he's going to produce.
In terms of Garrett, there's not much left to say. After signing that huge contract, it's safe to say many fans felt like he needed to produce. So many times in the past couple years we just couldn't make big plays when the game was on the line. This year we've done that, and much of it has to do with Garrett. He's got 3 strip sacks in 3 straight games and that's just silly. He's on pace for 100 QB pressures which would absolutely shatter the record. We desperately need Clayborne back, as I'm convinced Vernon is not cutting it. Garrett demands so much attention, we just need an opposing DE that can get pressure on passing downs. We get that, watch out.

Watching Teller on those pulls around to the left is like watching the old GB Packers sweep again. Always loved the pulling guards like Kramer for Hornung and Taylor. ?

The Lombardi sweep is one of the most beautiful sights these eyes have ever seen.

To go from what we had at Oline last year to what we have now is pretty damn incredible.
