<![CDATA[Dansby On "suffocating" Atmosphere Of Browns]]>http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14645105/karlos-dansby-says-cleveland-browns-dealt-suffocating-atmosphere-2015

"There was something about the situation that wasn't right," Dansby said. "And it was in the atmosphere. It was suffocating. You kept fighting and fighting and fighting, but you know it's there. You'd try to fight out of it, but it kept grabbing you and somehow pulling down into that boat."

Dansby said it came across to players that Pettine could not inspire the team because of the internal disagreements.

"I felt like it was too much on him fighting that fight and then trying to inspire us," Dansby said. "He couldn't balance it because that fight was too overwhelming. You could see it on his face and in his body language."

I looked that up almost immediately he was rumoured, because I thought the same thing.

If someone else has said this, and I missed it, sorry, but....

I think a hc and staff. implementing their system, and putting players

into situations and responsibilities that don't match up with what they do

best...

would be stifling the whole football team.

And, that is exactly what Hue has talked about.

Just seems definate that Hue and co. will turn this team around

fast. Like, their first season. The players will LOVE how Hue sees things.

heh heh heh.....maybe hue can develop an analytic algorithm and input it into the flux capacitor....man, cinci pit and balt just love having cleveland in their division..it's a thing of beauty they say....

pettine fighting with who? farmer?

i mean he's the only FO person let go correct? everyone else is still there so how will it be any different for jackson?

don't get it. sounds to me like the problem starts at the top. haslam had no idea any of this was going on? and for dansby to come out now with this like it is some revelation is kinda weak in my opinion as well. so it's the suits against the grunts (coaches) and they hired a lot more suits.

jackson: "we could sure use a QB and MLB."

suits: "well statistics say that we pick RB in this situation."

jackson: "AAAaaarrrgggh!"

doesn't bode well for the grunts.

don't worry chachi and the other lamebrain are developing an analytic algorithm to figure this all out....phwaaap....heheheheeeee

this feels like forever ago. i can't wait for the draft. i love the draft! but making great selections and seeing them develop into allpros is waaaaay more rewarding.

good old Dansby...

with Carlos reunited with Horton, i wonder if drafting an ILB is high on Sashi's priority page.

I hope so.....though I would point out that we had a pretty good 1st year turnabout with Pettine too....so years 2 and 3 should be the true qualifiers, yes??

SB 51 here we come.

Wow. That's optimistic.

Drafting a QB first, playing him as a rookie instead of developing him and not fixing the defense and they're going to make the Super Bowl next year...

Not holding my breath on that one.

As an amusing aside to that thought, I had convinced myself of something many years ago that still haunts the back of my mind...

The Browns were the last NFL Champion pre-SB.

I came to the revelation that the Browns would be the LAST team to make it to the SB, but then also become the FIRST team to win 3 in a row...

Or will that be dashed after they win and are the last team to win the only-American SB... that the World Bowl will start the next year...

Maybe we should be drafting the QB from the Italian league's 'SB' champion instead...

Yup- the proof of that is Dwayne Bowe. MHO is Farmer's ego got in the way, and he wasn't willing to admit he majorly screwed up.

Really? We have no way of knowing but if I had to bet I would say the coach was telling farmer to go fuck himself.

I am sure Haslam was aware. It's why he had to make the changes. Once well in to the season, there was no real point in making a change then.

I am pretty sure it was all between Pettine and Farmer. Scheiner and Brown weren't acting in that type of role.

anyone would say that with new bosses coming in the room. totally PC IMO.

let's see how everyone feels in a year or two cuz god knows the majority of cleveland fans (and the owner it seems) has the patience of a piss ant.

Is that a three hundred sided coin, or have they narrowed it down to two candidates already?

well you could do a whole NCAA bracket. Pick 64 kids you think might be able to play in the NFL and coin toss em. If you wanted to add veracity you could do a best of 3 or even 5 flips. Eventually you get down to the final two, and boom there's your draft.
