Welcome to 1980's NFL philosophy. Too bad the league evolved beyond this years ago. The rest of the division stock up to pass the ball, protect the passer, stop the pass.

Funny...didn't the almighty team from western pa just state this offseason that they wanted to become a run-first team? even getting a new OC?

the irony...

The Browns were no2 in the NFL in pass defense in 2011 http://www.nfl.com/s.../categorystats?

They were 30th in RUN defense in 2011

So I'll take a wild stab here and guess that they may have been addressing a need.

Now, I'd explain the whole rushing offense thing to you ...but I'm pretty sure I lost you at ...The

I think we got one of the steals of the draft in Acho. Smelley is also a good player, gives us a reason to finally get rid of Alex Smith. Real H back, can be the blocking TE and back up FB at the same time. High motor guy. Plus Winn projects as a situational pass rushing DT.

Which is great.

Only the division and the league are geared to pass the ball...
