2023 Cleveland Browns - Regular Season Thread II

[zDawg45]

I see a lot of uncalled holds

I was going to mention that but as you know, they dont get called. so did it really happen?

I love these type of break downs.

God damn me and Stain were right all along.

2018:



Hurst is the only one left who hasn't, buddy is about to earn it this year.

Nice call back. What do you think about a pairing of Josh Rosen as QB and John DeFilippo as HC for next year?

Its hard for me to tell if the arm strength is there, but i will trust Mary Kay who is able to watch live. Its those 15 yard outs that need to come out with speed or they become pick 6's in the NFL>

When Dan was using the female as the corner, it was so bad of a display, lol.

100% correct on both of them, and Orlovsky is usually very good at articulating his points, but not on this one.

Long story short, our pass rush is giving about 2 seconds before the ball has to be released, this is the SF offense and how they operate. But our secondary was playing outside and funneling the receiver inside to the help safeties, typically we play 2.

Week in and week out we keep talking how well our 3 safeties are playing. It starts with the pass rush, but its the corners and safeties playing to the 2-2.5 second releases that are really making it work. Its simple at times, but its genious.

Ryan Clark saved Orlovsky's explanation though, Orlovsky was getting lost in communication, but i really did enjoy it.

At this point, I'm operating under the assumption that Watson's season is effectively over and the Browns should do the same.

Maybe this comes across as extremely pessimistic, but absolutely nothing about this situation tells me that Watson will be playing at a high level anytime soon given the circumstances.

To me, the question should be: Do the Browns go with the band-aid option (Brissett) or go all-in with Captain Kirk? Or, do we just sit around and watch our season go down the drain with PJ Walker?

This isn’t even pessimistic. It’s just extremely misinformed.

Not really, you can call hold on any play, but Trents hands are inside the shoulders.

What i see is allot of quick pass plays to keep our pass rush from getting to Purdy.

I dont care who you are, you arent getting through Trent Williams in 2 seconds or less and that is how quick Purdy released the ball almost every time by design. Its why their offense does so well, quick in stride passes. The motion is designed for Purdy to decide who is getting the ball pre-snap and 3-5 step drop and throw. No 7 step drops, 2 reads only.

It looks like his fist are closed ms clinched on a lot of those plays. I’m not saying Trent isn’t a great OLinemen and I know the refs aren’t going to call it every single play but Myles is held regardless of who’s the opponent so we’re used to it. Hell, Garrett is so used to it he barely even complains anymore

 

[Binkster]

We don’t need a WR. Stefanski wouldn’t utilize them anyway. We need a tackle and a RB.

Man, you guys have to stop with this. It’s so tiring…

“Stefanski doesn’t run enough!”

*runs more*

“He isn’t utilizing his receivers enough. Too much running - he got his franchise RB hurt!”

*Bell barely makes team over journeyman UDFA*

*Goodwin consistently open but overthrown due to inaccuracy, weather issues, etc.*

“He doesn’t use Bell or Goodwin properly!”

This is reminiscent of the complaints about Rashard Higgins’ usage. Today he’s out of the league. Ever consider the player is just mediocre? I swear some of you wouldn’t even be happy with a Super Bowl. A portion of our fanbase deserves to go back to Freddie Kitchens and his 4th and 9 draws.

I do agree with you but at some point I think the complaints would stop if we just had a decent looking offense. Would have a lot less to find and argue about

[Vee-Rex]

In case there were any doubts about his status.

THIS IS IT. Let's string together some wins and threaten this whole fucking conference.

And you were expecting to see that without 2 all-pro linemen, an all-pro running back, and a pro bowl QB against a top 3 defense - in the rain, no less?

The Browns were top 10 in every statistical category through 12 games last year when they had absolutely no business being there personnel-wise. But that doesn’t fit the narrative, I guess.

Any excuse to have Laura Rutledge on screen is good enough for me.
