D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

All I've heard the last couple years about the Browns is how talented the team is, perhaps the MOST talented in the entire league a good many analysts have stated! If this is the case, why does Stefanski get so much credit? It is pretty obvious from the record that the coach of the year got outperformed by at least McDermott and perhaps others. The media got going on him mid-season as the favorite and didn't let up. Shame.

No. He can be part of a stable of complimentary backs.

Everyone but Hughes and Hyde.

Oh I think he's a no-brainer if he gets released and wants to come here for rotational DE money. Dude had 29 pressures last year, make no mistake that is what this defense does. For reference; Mack had 31, L.Floyd 30, C Jordan 26 and F Clark 25. Not bad company. More than our leading guy Hughes. Sign me up for him as a rotational guy. He'll be better with less snaps on 2nd-3rd downs too.

Pitts from Florida, likely gone by our pick, would be like adding Waller to the Bills.

I wonder if we are really talking about a traditional statistics based run/pass offense balance or if we we're really talking about balanced use of weapons? Recently, I took a look at the final four teams and get this breakdown (% of yards from scrimmage by position): Breakdown is QB-RB-TE-WR (%) TB 0-32-17-50 GB 2-41-13-44 BUF 7-26-7-60 KC 5-28-22-45 As you can see, BUF is a wide receiver oriented offense (60%) way above the others. Our TEs and RBs are much less productive. You think Spags said, their receivers are banged up, double Diggs and let the others (TE,RB) beat us and if they can more power to them? But, I doubt they can! I know what my preference would be as a coach.

Anyone else wonder if we had a third running back with speed and pass catching ability to mix with the other 2 guys if things wouldn't be better. More like NE always does with multiple backs filling roles. Of course that would mean replacing 33 yr old gunner Taiwan Jones on special teams.👀 For crying out loud, we should be able to have some guys on special teams who contribute to the offense too. I don't know if Antonio Williams and a speed back are the answer, but I'd like to see!

That's a good point! We don't want Josh running as much next year.

I like the player, but it might not be the worst thing for him to consider at this point. More pass blocker than dominant run blocker.

I think letting Morse walk and moving Feliciano to Center long term with Boettger and Ford would be an improvement running the ball. We also will look to bring in a back with speed.

Thanks for doing this! Agree with most all of it. I think Morse is gone and our interior is (l-R) Boettger, Feliciano, Ford. Disagree about the LBs, not necessarily a value statement, but Milano will be signed, Edmunds will be extended after Allen.

Best I can tell was show up and we'll win.

Check out KC receiving stats, the 2 guys we trying to shutdown had 290 of the 345 yards. Sickening

The difference was coaching more than anything.

Good thing we coached better than last meeting like McDermott said he wanted.

They look like they know our routes. Wonder why they can't do it that well against other teams.

They look like their coaching staff their coaching staff on defense is way ahead of Daboll et al.

Amazing they can shut down the run, plaster our receivers and still get pressure. And, their what like 17th in Defense and we've dominated the best defenses in the league. Something is wrong with that picture!

It was an illegal kick!

If we set out to attack and expose him it can be done.

I will not be able to say, oh well we did better than I thought we would this season if we lose tomorrow. No moral victories!

Very cool article!

Stephen A is so pompous since he's already in the same conversation with guys like Skip Bayless! Jeez show a little humility

With the QBs left that should be realized by everyone. Never out of the game with any of these guys. Keep playing.
