I wasn't referring to the play you posted...but to what I've been seeing as far as passing off defenders, not putting body on body when the numbers match...which is of course overshadowed by the talent level across the line.  

For the most part, combos, influence blocks, peels and pass offs are pretty standard. 

Callahan is just elite at his job on the field, watching little details per personnel, especially mechanically speaking, and either correcting or working with them. 

It's like any job.  Most people know the basics and the intermediate, some even have the advanced.  But a painstaking attention, and the ability to perceive those (small) details, is far more uncommon.     

 You've had good teachers in your life.  Then you've had great ones where learning from them just "clicks" with you and things make sense.   That's Callahan.

I think next year will be a more fair evaluation (with a better chance to succeed & more reliable pass pro from the OTs). We'll probable have a legit #1 WR changing matchup dynamics in the passing game considerably.  That or I'm just wishful thinking all over again...

May I refer you to Ground Hog Day Bill  er...... I mean Tom.  ? 

The Battered Browns Fan Syndrome sure is tough to deal with. 

Here's a funny one from this past weekend's game on Battered Aggie Syndrome.???

Shifting gears.  I'm still trying to answer a question from a few years ago.  If you have 2 QBs nobody trusts - do you even have one?  If they were both veterans with experience and growing pains (also meaning they've had reasonable experience being developed and practicing with teammates for the upcoming opponents the coaching staff film prepped).

I would love to see Coach Callahan back.  That said, the "philosophy", at least how I think you're saying it relates to the play I evaluated

I think our entire OLine philosophy stinks.  We need Callahan back and our current guy gone.  

 I would love to see Coach Callahan back.  That said, the "philosophy", at least how I think you're saying it relates to the play I evaluated, hasn't changed.  We ran a ton of weakside zone and iso when Callahan was here and it's a staple design we've carried over in his absence.   The difference is in the players, both talent and age/health/injury.     Individual defeats along the OL sink plays.

 The running game reminds me of 2015.  We expected big things after 2014.  But we had health issues and performance issues at center and RG.  As a result, the running game faltered.   This year is no different.  

 Edit:  I will apologize for the clip, I misspoke in it a couple times.  I worked 10 hours yesterday then started charting plays and posting.   It's weakside ISO, though ends up playing pretty much the same from a lead.   I'll re-post it later.    

 @dutch-oven joined me to follow along and ask questions when I was play charting.  Pretty sure the poor guy could hear the fatigue in my voice. ?

I've read opinions that this line was never really that great, it was actually Chubb's skills that led to the success of the running game at it's peak 2020-23 .

 Chubb was special for certain things and, like any great RB, made up for mistakes here and there as the greats do.  But, as a whole, the OL from 2020-2023 was quite fantastic and much more consistent than we're seeing now.

As far as the draft goes, this past weekend did virtually nothing for us...except that we lost.  As it stands, we could be picking between 2nd & 6th...depending how strength of schedule shakes out at season's end.

Well regardless of Sunday they have a week to prepare for Vegas and we should see a repeat sacking party for the Browns after watching what Dallas did last night. I may have to majorly revise my sack total for the season by Myles from 21 to 29 or so. DPOTY once again. 

He’s no TJ Watt, but he’ll do… ?

@orion said:

I thought that Berry & Stef were fairly compatible.  Perhaps the whole FO aura changes a bit without DePo.

i am assuming that Berry is the one who left Stef without a veteran QB, which is a huge problem, I seriously doubt  Stef wanted to play Sanders this past sunday

How many times do I have to remind you jerkoffs I was a huge fan of Steve McNair and Warren Moon until I found out Moon was smacking his ol'lady around like Tony Rizzo did to his ol'lady... Grow up drunk...

for whatever reason you have a deep hatred for a 5th round pick and with your background as a known racist I knew you would be one of the first to respond, I mean honestly what did you expect ? wait forget it, You wanted him to fail just like you did watson. so come on nickers, Just as i told gorka set yourself free and just embrace your racism

I really do not think it has gotten that bad, Remember both report separately to jimmy, and if it had gotten that bad one or both would have been canned by now

@syd said:

and its not like they are at each others throats (as far as we know) philosophies are different  and I believe they both will be gone at years end, So does it really matter who got who's reps ?
