Probably not even related to Wills.

It's just an "article" based on an article based on the tweet we've all already talked about where the team is expected to look into trades for OLine, without position being specified. The rest of it is nothing but speculation and guessing based on the guessing of someone else.

That was my thought too. We'll see.

Well, if it wasn't about Wills then the problem is with the coaches too because Wills has been stinking up the joint.

If you say so, chief.

This article stems from a report where the Browns were looking at OL via the trade market, not specific to tackles. And perhaps, as a result of the fact that both Pocic and Bitonio were dealing with injuries. And it has now morphed into who "could" the Browns pursue as part of many what If scenarios should it be a tackle. Nothing more, nothing less.

Whether we pursue an upgrade at LT, when does the light shine on the guy who picked up Willl's 5th yr option after having seen NOTHING that merited such a move?

The same guy who just HAD to have Watson at whatever the cost?

The same guy that throws money around on one hand and pinches $$$ at the backup QB spot?

How frickin' depressing. It was already supposed to have been built....for this season. Our best players (Garrett, Chubb, Bitonio, Ward, Cooper) were never going to be better. The time was now and they failed. Get ready for another rebuild. While we were "just about there", other teams like the Bengals, Bills,
Dolphins and now the Lions jumped right past us.

Exactly and it's not the first time teams have jumped ahead of us. Some have done it more than once!!!

I don't disagree with critiquing Berry. Everyone deserves to be assessed and reviewed.

But I still believe the biggest problem is Stefanski. No roster is perfect. There's a balancing act that has to be done between depth and spend and the future and free agency and the draft. And with that balance the Browns have one of the most talented rosters in the league. How does that equate to shining a light on Berry? How much more could he have done? Kept Dobbs? Sure, maybe that's a mistake. But no situation is perfect. The Wills fifth year option is not a mistake. Maybe it looks like a mistake in hindsight, but it wasn't a mistake at the time.

Stefanski has had a talented roster the entire time he has been here and imo doesn't have a whole lot to show for it. He has one of the worst losses in the history of the NFL last year against the Jets. He doesn't win important games at critical moments with healthy rosters or injured rosters. He doesn't stack wins. He's yet to start 2-0 against some really favorable early schedules over his tenure. The best unit on the team, the one that plays with passion, aggression, speed, and want to he doesn't even coach. He's always caught in video clips telling the team it's "about the work" but the work doesn't produce results. Players will tune that stuff out when they don't believe or don't see it turn into results. I watch these clips and have a hard time believing the players get up for this guy. The defense gets up for Schwartz, you can see it on the field. But the team as a whole getting up to run through a wall for Stefanski? Does anyone feel or see that?

I've arrived at a point with the Browns that life is too short to wait around for this franchise to ever get over the hump. Spend your Sundays doing stuff that makes you happy. If they ever do get over the hump, tune back in.

He managed to take the Browns to the playoffs with the talent provided him by the former GM. Only one of those two things has changed. The GM.

He's continued to be provided with ample amounts of talent by the new GM.

And the results keep trending downward.

Ample talent on paper looks great. Yet with what didn't look so good on paper he coached the team to the playoffs. Maybe it's more about how players fit together than what it looks like on paper.

Rex Ryan said that for 5million a year he’d be happy to coach again. Wonder what our O would look like then LOL 😂
