The official Terry Pluto thread
-
Speed is a top priority for the Browns, especially at linebacker. It’s why they were delighted to draft Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (JOK) in the second round.
Looking deeper into Berry’s two drafts, he grabbed a speedy Jacob Phillips in the third round of 2020. In the same 2021 draft as JOK, the Browns selected West Virginia’s Tony Fields Jr. (also fast) in the fifth round.
-- I have been saying this. SPEED is what I've been seeing them draft. Peoples-Jones, Schwartz, Felton. They want fast guys everywhere.
They want fast guys everywhere.
All other things being equal... sure...
... but the list of greats who were not "fast" is long.
Fast in and of itself is not enough.
Anyway... that's what we slow guys maintain...

Obviously you haven't been in the tavern during games and DPJ kick returns in particular. Everyone thinks he's a turtle. I know he's fast and ran low 4.4 but I also understand why others say he looks slow. There is just something there where it looks like he is running in quicksand.

I believe I may have said something along the lines of "Please take the piano off your back, DPJ..." once or seven times directly after one of his returns.

once or seven times
directly afterduring one of his returns.FIFY....
So.... he's deceptively slow?
I just do not like WRs returning kicks... they simply are not accustomed to running pall mall towards a line of bodies hoping a hole opens.
That's what RBs spend their life doing... that's what I expect to see Felton doing in 2021... early and often.
Punts? Different story... WRs are fine, but shorter, shiftier, quick-twitch types only need apply. I'm talkin' to you Schwartz...

Terry's latest...
I agree with Terry that we probably won't see Chubb & Hunt on the field at the same time very often. It worked really well the way they could bring fresh, powerful and fast legs into the game. Especially in the 4th quarter. Hunt would come in and run like his hair was on fire.

I feel Joe Wood's future as Browns DCoordinator could very well be tied to his ability - or inability - to get the most out of JOK.
It's often said that good coaches are the ones who are able to change their way of doing something to the talents of his players, i.e. "not trying to force a square block into a round hole".
Will Woods find ways to exploit JOK's rare athleticism? Will Woods find ways to hide JOK's weaknesses?
That will be a fascinating story line to watch in 2021.

My favorite example of that is Don Shula. When he had Larry Csonka, Jim Kick and Mercury Morris, he ran the ball down your throat and up your butt. But when he had Dan Marino and the two Mark's he passed ya to death. During the Monday Night Game the night that John Lennon got shot, Shula played a total slow-down game to try to eek a win against the Patriots. And he pulled it off to perfection. (I still can't believe that somebody shot the guy that wrote Imagine)
Now, I can understand that a new regime has a vision for what they believe is the best way to run an offense or defense for today's game. But that's something that you have to build. And it's not done overnight. Until then, the coaches have to be able to scheme to the player's strengths that they currently have.
Last year the offense got some pieces to their puzzle. This year it's the defense that got the puzzle pieces. And it sure seems like they're building for speed, quickness and athleticism over brute force. It should be interesting to see how it unfolds. (cough) we still gotta be able to stop the run (cough)

We went thru how many years of ? suck? ?
when asked why? It's always been the same answers... 1.Talent (GM's) 2.Coaching 3.Coaching *staffs* (Yeah! Haslam needed to learn to butt out too)
the easy way to see it* is to? Compare Stefanski's football mindset to what we've seen.. ? hot mics don't phase this mini Don Shula
Many football coaching staffs* our the units stuck hamming red circles thru green squares.. (GM's)
Get to know these guys... cause if Joe Woods falls? They will go with him...(if i recall correct? Woods staff was build way late, waiting on Woods after SB game)
Joe Woods – defensive coordinator
Jeff Howard – pass game coordinator/defensive backs
Ben Bloom – senior defensive assistant
Stephen Bravo-Brown – defensive quality control
Ryan Cordell – coaching assistant
Jeremy Garrett – assistant defensive line
Chris Kiffin – defensive line
Brandon Lynch – assistant defensive backs
Jason Tarver – linebackersKevin's Offensive side ?
Kevin Stefanski – head coach
Alex Van Pelt – offensive coordinator
Mike Priefer – special teams coordinator
Stump Mitchell – run game coordinator/running backs
Jeff Howard – pass game coordinator/defensive backs
Callie Brownson – chief of staff
Bill Callahan – offensive line
Doug Colman – assistant special teams
Ryan Cordell – coaching assistant
T.C. McCartney – offensive assistant
Chad O'Shea – wide receivers
Scott Peters – assistant offensive line
Drew Petzing – tight ends
Seitu Smith – offensive quality controlIt Takes All of Us!
Shula never goes undefeated winning every game by himself...google his staff..you know them better than Coach Stef's coaching staff...
It took several Browns Gm's to get some serious talent in here..Than a Stefanski coaching staff to mold them.. (Shula built *loaded)
It's our Time ! Go Browns !

While I can see the synergy potential... this combo puzzles me a lil bit. Seems like two awfully big jobs...
The current staff seems pretty strong, albeit with a lot of names that are less than household ATM.... but such was also the case with Bill B's back back when he was a pup in the 90s. And now they are all widely known. I'd settle for Stef's group doing half as well.
So far Stef just seems like a great guy to work for... a great administrator/delegator/mentor(?) who has more than his share of Xs and Os command... and an eye for personnel to boot.
And to think we could have had him a full year earlier...
... at least he was still available the next time around.
If DePo does nothing else in his Browns' career, I'm good with his HC choice... and his GM to boot.

Agree with most of his points but I worry about our smallish defense against the Ravens run game that can and will set everything up going between the tackles and getting 7 and 8 yards consistently. That is what makes Lamar’s zone keep deadly and as result of that you get WR open downfield on single coverage or busted coverages.
You have to limit the Ravens between the tackle plays to 2-3 yards to have a chance.

I still think the best way to beat Baltimore is to jump on them early, and make them play from behind. They are not a team built to stand back in the pocket and pass themselves back from a deficit.
