  • Aside from Hubbard missing a block and committing a hold- what exactly do you expect out of an offensive line.  

    baker held the ball too long on most occasions.

    in other occasions it was 2 and long all day and the defense was teeing off and he still had time.

    what does sending a 1st and 3rd to Washington for a 31 year old tackle do to alleviate questionable play calls and Baker holding onto the ball

    Dont forget trading for that lineman takes over half of our leftover cap that we need to be saving to resign our younger talents (Garrett Baker Chubb Ward)

    You are right and again it is a complete overreaction.

    Get the ball out quicker to all these fancy toys we have and  cut back on 6 personal fouls so we aren’t staring at 2 and 20.  And let Chubb run he was a respectable 17 for 75 yesterday behind and awful line lol.  

  • First... our OL is not "awful" when it comes to run blocking. They are much better at firing out than they are retreating in PassPro. But otherwise... yes... more run to set up more PAP all of which means more snaps under Center.

    “Awful” lol sarcasm.  17 for 75 is a product of their blocking and that’s a good front they went against. 

    The casual fan just believes that a line should protect 5,6,7,8 seconds however long it takes to get a pass off.  It doesn’t work that way even with 5 Pro Bowers in front of you.  Baker had all day -all the time in the world - more than most QBs get.    

    We were not disciplined we had a choppy game plan due in part to 2 and 25s and Tenn had a solid plan on offense.  It came down to Mariota just staying with himself not doing too much and Baker feeling he had to do everything.  Which should have been flipped given the personnel.  

    This team is fine IMO.  The Jets are going to get run over and then boat raced especially if Mosley can’t go  

  • Discipline is not overrated.

    When has discipline ever not reflected the coach?

    And when has an undisciplined team ever turned into a disciplined one with the same coach?

    That's right besides we ARE THE TOUGHEST FANS IN PRO SPORTS.....and this team wasn't really overhyped last year they had a good finish and ADDED considerable talent.

    Only 1 down and 15 to go.....now exhale.   😉

    1. Never...

    2. The Giants under Tom Coughlin... went from just over 100 penalties his first year to 140+ before returning to ~100 and then dropping below 80...

    Serious question:

    If the Browns lose next Monday night and are sitting at 0-2, with the Rams coming into town next, could panic mode start then? 

    It will be ugly if they lose vs the Jets.

    The Jets with Gregg Williams leading their defense. Think he'll be somewhat motivated? ?

  • Is the discipline issue Kitchens or Wilks? I know he reports to Freddy but what do you think?

  • ??? some of you guys are more dramatic than soccer players. Panic mode? No wait FULL BLOWN PANIC MODE. Hahaha. Game 1. If you fell for that hype that's on you.

    OTOH, think the Browns won't be motivated after laying that humongous egg in the opener? I pointed out earlier- it wasn't play that killed the Browns, it was a historic amount of penalty yardage.

    This wasn't just a loss. This was the first impression of the 2019 Cleveland Browns. You know...the new media darlings with all the talent in the world. The new coach, promoted from rb coach, skipping over several steps to become the new HC of the new, improved, playoffs bound Browns. The changing of the losing culture,..blah, blah, blah. We played better with much less talent last season. I don't blame the offense that much. Mayfield was bringing the team back until the 75 yard TD by the Titans. That was the final nail in the coffin. Where was the defense on that play? No where near the action...that's for sure. Buying into the hype of having a winning season for once? Yeah...I'm guilty. Damn I'm gullible!

  • The Browns O line was back at practice today trying to rectify things

    And therein lies the problem of the Browns. It's not like a few commentators didn't understand that if you are still desperately shopping for a RG that late in preseason, then you just might have a major problem. It did not help at all for Robinson to get himself ejected either. 

    What we needed in the off-season was the anti-Ghoolie who would have told us how important quality OLs are to have in the NFL. That old saying "lines win football" in plural for a reason.

    BTW Houston understood it enough to get get one late in the summer. It paid off despite losing to a record career long FG by NO last night. Now that was one hellofa game. Very worthy of MNF. Here's hoping ours will be this coming week.

    They can call the "Helpline"...

    ... the number is "BR-549"...

    Excepting Romeo's D-call on the next to last play. What was up with that?
