Drafting a Guard in the first round will win us exactly zero games more next year (and every year after that) then not drafting anyone at all. Take one of the pass rushing LBs/DEs, Teo, or Millner, please.

I don't care if Bill Belicheck, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Walsh were all hired as scouts for the Browns next year and they all thought the best pick was Womack, I still wouldn't take him.

Its the Joe Thomas over AP syndrome. Great, we have the best LT in the world. Having him over the 15th best LT in the world wins us roughly zero extra games per year. You don't think Minnesota would laugh us out of the midwest if we proposed a Thomas/Richardson for AP/Kalil trade?

Meanwhile, teams that win games draft play makers on both sides of the ball...

How do you notice something that didn't happen?

Two WRs wide left, single TE right. Offset I right. Wide Oline splits. Ran left.

Not a spread formation true, but certainly not a 2/3 TE Tight obvious running formation. Pittsburgh had 8 in the box but one of those 8 was so was out on the WRs so really only 7 in the box. Lead blocker sealed the run blitzing LB leaving only the S able to make the tackle. He missed. Free lineman was able to seal the backside LB.

I live out of state and was able to catch my first Browns game of the season today. Luckily, we forced 8 turnovers.

The shocking thing to me was how unbelievably bad our play calling was. We ran one time I noticed out of a spread (passing) formation, and Trich took it 15 yards for a TD.

The rest of the running plays were out of a 2/3 TE bunch formation. To me with the speed in the NFL, you need to do some misdirection. Running out of the bunch every time is going to get the safeties all over your RB 2-3 yards downfield. This is what I saw most of the game - Low and behold, Clark (Steelers FS) had 9 tackles.

It went both ways. When we brought in 3 WR or spread the field out a bit, we threw everytime. (except the trich TD) We very rarely threw out of the bunch formation.

We run an offense a 13 year old does when he plays Madden. 5 wide when he's passing, Bunch when he's running. If we are going to tip it off that badly, at least put Cribbs in and run the WildDawg to get the extra blocker on running plays.

All that said - who is tops on everyone's wish list for the inevitable coaching change for next year? Could we lure Chip Kelly from Oregon? Would love to see an innovative offensive mind.

That, plus another shut down corner or pass rushing OLB/DE in the first round and this team makes the playoffs next year.
