2014 Browns season trivia...

The Big 10 is more challenging than the SEC now. Good thread.
Just for Nick Saban, who dominates the SEC (especially when Auburn & LSU aren't up being the only teams capable of challenging that in the absence of Urban Meyer). It was always more challenging for Nick Saban, which is why I feltcompelled to give his records above when he needed departsies from Big 10 to Big Easy. Just out of curiosity, who ended Alabama's season last year? Not for nothing, if the SEC is so tough - you might want to tell Mizzou that because they've already made 2 Conference Championship Games in their first 3 seasons. When teams like Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and UT had to watch Johnny Football show up to Alabama beat them in his very first opportunity to do so - there was envy and feelings like why can't we ever do that? Because they can't but you've only witnessed it for 2 years instead of the last 8. Furthermore, a recent SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year (Michael Sams) keeps getting cut in the NFL & CFL. Maybe the Rochester Rattlers or some Arena Football Team has room for his conference elite pass rushing skills. This way you can War up he's still playing pro football pal and I'll be as speechless as I deserve to be. When the best sic em, sock em and sack em of your conference wants to wear rainbow colored wrist bands on game day - I'm not buying how invincible that conference is from top to bottom any more.
My bad for temporarily drifting off the subject heading because this is a great thread. A lot of areas on the Browns to get excited about from oline to dline to LBer Corps to RB to secondary to punter in charge of flipping field position. I know I went on record wanting some size on the perimeter for our red zone; but some our small framed WRs had some nice stories unfolding last year before Josh Gordon destroyed the chemistry, continuity and momentum. We've talked a lot about the seasons Gabriel and Hawkins had going before Gabriel lost considerable reps.
What Mud's attempting to do in this thread - is increase our awareness of some good things flying under the radar so we're not joining the guys posting they'd rather hibernate or hang out with ostriches during football season. In particular, we all noticed Benjamin lost his art in the return game post injury. BUT this thread wants us to realize he sported 17.4 yards per catch and where that ranked in the league. This is a good place to piggyback in he led ALL our WRs with 3 TD receptions in part time duty. He quietly became a much improved WR that was key to our big comeback W here in Nashville. Another reason we could overcome a 28-3 halftime deficit on the road is because Taylor Gabriel got behind the coverage down the numbers on the right side of the field in a game changing moment I'll never forget. That's an example of how he could end up averaging 17.3 yards per catch. Now that we added size to go with our quick smaller framed receivers - we have WRs for every situation moving forward.
