I referenced Aaron Rogers when I said I wanted Bakers cadences and clock management to be similar.  

You don't like, " Two Eighteen" ?   or "Omaha"...

I referenced Aaron Rogers when I said I wanted Bakers cadences and clock management to be similar.  

This is a cadence clip from the first part of the 2020 season.  Go back to previous years and you'll notice the difference in working with Van Pelt has made.

Well deserved recognition.

NFL’s Coach of the Year

   Congrats Coach Kevin Stefanski

While I was driving home my hometown radio 

950kjr Seattle had Mike holmgram do his weekly call for the station,  guest caller was none other than Kevin stefanski. 

Holmgram did 90% of the interview. 

An absolute excellent experience driving home. 

I hope Holmgren didn’t ask Stefanski for playoff tickets.

When I counted up wins and losses preseason on the schedule I came to 11-5 but since I am a Browns fan I tempered my expectations to 8-8. I'm glad stef is here to make it so I don't feel like I have to add at least 3 losses just because my team is the Browns.

10-6 was my prediction (search on this forum, thread was closed by Zombo), I just had a good feeling about this season but didn't really care if we made the playoffs.

So did anyone here predict 11-5 and then winning the first playoff game?

I was only hoping he could beat my 6-10 prediction. Thank you Tinkerbell. Don't wake me up.?‍

I'll start posting the results of Dutch's Browns Questions starting Monday....

For once my Browns record prediction will be low!

..I have one piece of advice for coach Stef though, Don't run sweeps with Mayfield as the ball carrier.  He fumbles the ball when he gets hit. 

And no more damn sneaks until he learns what both hands are for.?? Otherwise every time he sneaks we have to use both hands.??

I never thought Holmgren was a bad guy... Maybe just in over his head... He meant well here...

He was here to steal money. If he wanted to work here, he would have been the coach

Good Coach... bad Team President.... really bad.

He panicked, tried to save his job, set us back a couple years easy... there's simply no other way to explain Wheezy.

Panic?  Really?  Driving around smoking cigars, coming in at noon (or so the rumor had it).   Doesn't sound like panic to me.  

Or are you talking about his choice of Weeden?  I guess bad work habits lead to bad choices. 

THE CLEVELAND BROWNS HAVE THE COACH OF THE YEAR

How many coaches have we had this century?  A shit ton!   And they've all pretty much been a part of the ton of shit!    Pettine calling for a 60+ yard FG with Devon Hester standing in the end zone waiting for it.  AND HE DID IT TWICE!  Players called Pettine the Ghost....because he walked around the practice field seemingly aimlessly, never saying a word to anyone.

Hue 1-31 Jackson...the QB whisperer.  I don't think he did a single thing RIGHT with our QB position.  1st and goal from the Steeler 1 yard line, in OT.  He calls a WR screen pass that loses 6 yards and we lose the game.

Country Bumpkin Kitchens, he scripts plays, then goes totally off the rails, calling plays that they hadn't practiced in a month.  Calls a draw play on 4th & 9.  Is photographed in public wearing a t-shirt saying The Steelers Started It after the game that Myles tried to put Rudolph's helmet back on him.

Pat Shurmur, he called a running play down inside the opponent's 10 yard line when he had no running backs on the field.  The TE set up in the RB spot and promptly fumbled the ball because he never took a handoff in his life (that's what the TE Alex Smith said).

We've had some of the dumbest fucks possible as our HC.   I can clearly remember the hopelessness I felt for the team while The QB Fucker-Upper was our coach.

AND NOW WE HAVE THE COACH OF THE YEAR!    Fuck me but that feels good!  We have the coach of the year.  And we have a GM that thinks like our coach of the year.

There really is reason for hope now.  Not that I needed Stefanski to be named coach of the year to feel hope...because as I watched him this season I knew (or at least thought I knew) that we finally had the right coach...but it just feels so good for it to be validated by him winning coach of the year.

Thank You for accepting the toxic head coaching job of the Cleveland Browns Mr. Stefanski!  

umm...I have one piece of advice for coach Stef though, Don't run sweeps with Mayfield as the ball carrier.  He fumbles the ball when he gets hit.
