Things that I was totally wrong about last June:
5. I thought Billings was going to get half the snaps at 1T, sharing snaps with Larry O. I also thought Jordan Elliott would work his way into the rotation and be a factor.
4. I thought Clayborn would be much better when subbing in as a pass rush specialist. He was also worse than I expected against the run. Porter ended up filling that role by the end.
3. I didn't think Greedy would miss the entire season with his vague injury, also thought Kevin Johnson would make a bigger impact in his snaps.
2. I actually believed in Sendejo as nickel linebacker/3rd safety. His advanced metrics as a sub-package zone coverage player was fantastic in 2019. However, he was no free safety.
1. The Browns front office played a numbers game at linebacker, and it barely avoided killing the season. The team needed one of the following to make the jump: TakiTaki, Mack Wilson, or Jacob Phillips. Unfortunately, none of the young guys pulled the bacon out of the fire. Crusty vet Malcolm Smith saved us.
I'm nervous about defensive tackle this season because the front office is trying the numbers game all over again with that group. Hopefully somebody young steps up.
5, I loved the Billings signing, was very excited, did not care for Elliot one way or the other.
4. Clayborn did nothing for me.
3. I thought Greedy was going to be a stud, a steal.
2. Sendejo did nothing for me
1. I expected Mack and Phillips to be solid, didnt like Takitaki and thought Malcolm would help as a vet and still have something left in the tank. Phillips over performed but the rest sucked, lol.
