Browns's Defense #2!!!
-
If what you mean by that is we're totally screwed if Rogers goes down, then yeah - I get that feeling.\ said:
Does anyone else get the feeling that our entire run defense all hinges on the play of Shaun Rogers? Do we even have anything else besides Rogers that teams need to avoid?
For sure. It's ironic that our best 3-4 linebacker is the one whose physical profile supposedly doesn't fit the scheme.\ said:
D'Qwell can ball.Like Rogers, I'm hoping that D'Qwell can play all 16 regular season games. He missed multiple games each of his first two seasons, but I'm hoping that having Big Baby in front of him will help keep him healthy.

OK, this is a stretch...but on ColdHardFootballFacts.com the Browns are now ranked #2 on the BENDABILITY INDEXThe Bendability Index is the first and only stat on Planet Pigskin to quantify the phenomenon of the "bend but don't break" defense. But as we've long noted, it is not a measure purely of defensive efficiency. Instead, with a very simple figure, it takes into consideration many, many team-wide factors, including special teams proficiency, turnover differential, red zone defense and a variety of other factors, and tells you which teams force opponents to work the hardest to score points.
http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Artic...lity_Index.html
The Titans are #1, Browns #2, Ravens #10, Steelers # 13
Basically, it means teams have to WORK HARD to score points!
I wonder what the Browns are ranked on this thing after Jay Cutler torched their secondary for 450 yards passing with a 90 yard TD included...Cant be too good Im guessing...

This is BENDABILITY...so you obviously haven't a clue as to how it works....last week was worse for this stat than this week was.
We were #4 going into this week....and this week we posted a 16.6 rating...which would still be 7th in the league. As opposed to the Stoolers who are ranked 9th (16.16)...so just go away now while we discuss the Browns...
We don't mind you piping in when we discuss your shitzburg team...or have somthing to add, but this sniping is not going to be tolerated. Fair warning.

Keep up the work on the Bendability Index. It is a good thing.........Bend but do not Break Defense is not a losing strategy ..............if YOU HAVE A GOOD OFFENSE......
The theory is get tough in the red zone and let your offense get enough points to win handily
This was the successful strategy of the Browns in 50's and 60's............which included eight world Championship games and four wins

So, if we both give up 315 yds, the steelers give up 21 pts....and we give up 16 or so.It's a BS stat, plain and simple. Should be called Breakability, because that's what is happening. Oh, and the Steelers are 6-3 because they sack the shit out of teams. They lead the league with 32 and we don't have 1/2 that many @ 14.
Plus we avg slightly less per game in points given up (19 vs 22) than Pitt, but avg 145 rush yds vs thier 3rd ranking 79 per game.
Our defense cannot play consistently game in and game out. Some genius RAC turned out to be. We need to change course next year, because if he cannot create a dominating D what good is he?

The Steelers record is 6-2 buddy not 6-3...The only stat that matters are wins and losses in the end....

Desert Dawg the Steelers are 6-2................and yes BBDB defenses do work............we have a bend and break D.............and
your boy Savage is the real problem not Crennel..............you can only do so much with average............and average is what Phil has provided.......or worse

Only stat that matters to me and should matter to you in reality is the Browns already have as many losses as the Steelers have wins after only 9 games...That cant be a good thing can it???

Rogers is at least one piece that is more than average. RAC is who wants the 3-4 scheme, which you know is far harder to fill than a 4-3. Savage deserves blame, but RAC deserves more. He is the guy coaching these guys. I know you can only coach up so much, but I've seen more with less on other teams D's.

You are right the Browns Defense is #2 ..I guess with the foul lanuage blocker , that's the 'code" you have to use instead of saying the Browns Defense is sh&t
and only a complete" koolaid drinking moron "would say that this team has a Defense that could even be close to the same level as the Ravens ,or the Steelers or Giants !! Those teams hold onto leads and WIN games while their Offenses are struggling ..they do not give up 13+ leads in the 4th Quarter---- TWICE IN A ROW....#2 Defenses do that !!!.
