Image matters a lot to them and the image of the browns is garbage.
Yeah. So much is image now. So many players have to have their own Schtick. Even if the DB had absolutely nothing to do with the pass going to his man being incomplete he's gotta go into his gyrations. I really like Carson Schwessinger. He's a throwback. He makes the tackle, gets up and heads towards the huddle. If a player comes up to him to give him high, low or in between five, he'll do that, but he's not caught up in being a showman.
As far as the image of the Browns being garbage, I don't buy it. Not with our defense. Our defense commands respect. When a team is preparing to play us, their offensive people understand that they've got work to do. There's no sleeping against that D. As opposed to other times, when we had absolutely nothing on either side of the ball, I'm not too worried about us attracting free agents. We just have to show that we're going to attack our offensive issues...be it a QB that's needed, or if Shedeur winds up looking good then OL & WR. That's pretty much what's making our offense garbage...OL & WR. And perhaps the QB. That, of course, is the major piece. Having no QB will hurt free agency. And FA comes before the draft. Therefore it would be nice if Shedeur can show that the QB problem will no longer be a problem. That puts us in a better FA position. But how does he do that with a shit OL & WR room?
