Ok guys Cavs season is over. Can people get back to posting more about the Browns?
I love hearing any details from camp, stories about players’ pasts, off-season developments (particularly on-field ones), etc.
I think our OC has a great set of players who look to be working hard to right the ship. The key is going to be to train Taylor to take and make those downfield shots. That’ll really open things up. We all know offense is about timing and precision, so we will need some games to get it right, but I have a lot of confidence that we will be a mid-tier offense this year.
In defense, these bastards never got a rest last year and have IMO even more to prove than the defense. My concern is that we were only good against the run last year because teams were kicking our asses and went run centric to finish us off. However, the secondary got a talent lift, our LB’s are pretty good, and our young line will have another year of conditioning, seasoning, strength training, and studying.
Generally, depth is really important in the NFL because injuries (including nagging ones) happen all of the time. I feel like we aren’t deep and that’s simply a crapshoot whether or not our key guys can stay on the field.
And to really make things interesting, we need a couple of random late round guys, free agents, or end of roster guys to blow away expectations. Not to mention, those are always the best stories.
I think the biggest question mark right now is Hue. I don’t hate him because we arguably had horrible talent last year, but this shit better come together FAST or he won’t make it through the season. Like if we are 0-4 and have been blown out by 10 in more than 1 of those, I think we see a short leash.
