    Browns are MUCH improved and if you don't see that, I don't know what to tell you. I think they have the roster of playoff caliber team but the only thing that'll hold them back is Hue. He needs to go.

     

    Their coordinators are MUCH improved. Todd Haley and Gregg Williams are both proven guys in the league and can help their units win. 

    Here is I believe a fair question. How well is Hue supposed to do with the roster hes had for 2 seasons in Cleveland? I am in no way saying Hue is a great coach, but get crap groceries and you make a crap meal. This is a guy that many forget went 8-8 in Oakland (after a 7-4 start) with a roster much worse than what he has now. Jason Campbell made starts that season for them.

     

    Kessler, Kiser and Hogan were his QBs last year. Not really sure even the great and powerful Hoodie could cheat a win or 2 out of those guys.

    I dont get it. We just watched them. I do think their defense has a chance to be elite with Garrett and the linebackers - but they have Tyrod and look what we did to him after that first touchdown drive. Also, they still have Hue Jackson. One way I could reconcile it is that the rest of the division is expected to be real ****ty (we play one game against the division - Ravens week 1). The only other way is Hue is fired early and Tyrod demoted.

     

     

    That defense is stacked. They have fantastic depth at key positions. Tyrod just has to be Tyrod for them to do well. Not turn the ball over. Pick up some yards with his legs. Hit Njoku and Landry short and hand the ball to 2 very good RBs and a promising rookie. 

     

    Unlike Dream Teams of the past where the idea was to just collect talentd players, thr Browns have done a nice job of finding talent in areas that fit their system. 

     

    While I do not expect a Jacksonville type turnaround from them, 6-8 wins are absolutely possible. They get a few breaks here and there and yes, I can see them in playoff contention late in the season.

    Ivory may be getting the scraps- McCoy, Murphy, Ivory in that order. 

    Scraps, yes. But I fully believe Ivory will have a role on this offense. Look at how NE uses their backs. We Will be running an offense much like that I believe. Yes, we have the crown jewel in McCoy that can,handle both roles as early down and 3 down back, but I believe Ivory will work near the goal line, short yardage and other role specific areas. 

     

     

  4. I went with the 701-900 option for a few reasons.

     

    1. Preseason soft tissue injuries can sometimes linger and have a negative impact all year.

     

    2. We havr a few games this season wherr I would expect we will need to throw the ball more. I can see a few games where his impact is as a receiver in come back mode as opposed to a rusher.

     

    3. Murphy. Yea, I'll be that guy. If Murphy keeps up the way he did at the end of last year and through camp and preseason he will have earned a few extra touches a game. Some may come at the expense of Ivory but (especially if the groin issue does linger) I can see him cutting into Shadys workload by the end of the year. Not by tons, but enough to cost McCoy 100-200 yards on the season.
