DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2019 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 28 Seahawks 32 Areas to Improve

What needs to improve for Seattle (and for the rest of the year)

- Once again, GO BACK to the offense that WORKED.
- Don’t force feed OBJ and don’t get too cute with him either. If they double him and roll tons of coverage to him ... then use the other weapons effectively
- Our run D has to be on point this week .. Seattle’s PA game is no joke and they can destroy you if their run game is working

-Blocking
-Tackling
-Running
-Passing
-Catching

- Coaching

In addition to the others.

And strangely enough, never this year has it been...
-Kicking

One of our biggest worries going into the season.

-Better handshaking technique.

EVERYTHING!!!!!

For starters:

* Use the hurry-up offense early and often
* Keep Nick Chubb on the field and in the backfield for 3 downs
* Work mostly under center instead of the shotgun
* Employ lots of 3-step-drop slants, outs, and bubble screens
* Enough with the gadget plays; establish the run

They need to simply stick to fist bumps.

I'm definitely in the minority when I say I don't mind the stupid OBJ plays. I get it people would rather us do well without the gimmicks, and I get that these gadget plays aren't sustainable, but they worked when not much else was. And we were trying to shift those plays into our normal offense (ex. motioning OBJ into the backfield and then the quick give to Chubb). Plus, it's getting the ball in the hands of our most dynamic playmaker when we otherwise don't seem to be able to.

Alright, rant done...

-We need to improve on making things simpler and easier for our 2nd year QB.

-We need to feed Chubb early and often.

-We need to NOT get too far down early.

-We need Higgins back and Calloway off the field (at the risk of sounding like KoB, I'm totally done with this kid).

lol, I know eh? I was thinking of that today.., a few weeks ago we were concerned with the punting/kicking battles. Now, we're getting ready to fire the coaching staff!

LOL..............the crazy thing is that OBJ has been wildly successful, but some posters are trashing our coaches for trying to get him the ball.



All I know is that the best defense of OBJ is having Baker being his QB. Think about it. Landry's numbers last year were the worst of his career, other than his rookie year. This year, OBJ's lack of catches are setting new records.

Who were their great QBs in the past?

Ryan Tanneyhill
Matt Moore
Jay Cutler
Eli Manning

Somehow, those dudes got Juice and OBj the ball while playing behind pathetic offensive lines, and Baker can't.

Makes one wonder....

You truly are obsessed with Baker, worse than Colin cowherd. Everyone knows you hate Baker do you have to trash him on every thread. You are sad.

I think everyone needs to be more consistent against the Seahawks. Baker, the oline, wideouts. And kitchens needs run to open the pass. Our oline is not good enough to do it the other way, unless it is a quick passing game.

On D we have to stop the run.

If we do that we should be competitive with Seattle.

Yes.

Oh and find a real owner.

Everything outside of Punting and FG kicking needs to improve. Literally EVERYTHING.

Coaching
Qb Play
Oline Play
WR play
Tackling
Catching
Throwing
Routes
Effort
Attention to detail

on and on....

I get why people don't like it. It's not something you can build an offense around, and it's not sustainable. That said, I don't think we can throw out one of the few things that actually works.

Baker is disappointing, but he's a 2nd year QB. He's not going to make or break his career this season. It sucks, but only if you bought into the hype this offseason. The real thing I'm disappointed about relates to our coaching staff. I knew the offense would be a work in progress at the beginning of the seaosn, but I thought we would at least have an identity and/or be building off of what we did last year. That seemed pretty obvious to me, so I'm not sure why the coaching staff thought we could totally blow up the offense because we picked up a couple guys. I think the whole narrative that Kitchens was just along for the ride last year when the other coaches drew up and executed the offense is overblown, at least. He has lots to learn, but we knew that when he hired him (right?).

Thanks. I really value the opinion of a grown man who follows around a 23 year old man. LOL........you wanna talk about "sad?"

Scoring

We run out of the tunnels pretty well, so we've got that going for us.

Winning.

Aside from the position groups and tactical stuff:

- Play with more intensity and physicality
- If we make a mistake or get punched in the mouth, get back up

-Not getting mauled at the LOS
-Baker knowin when to hold em and knowin when to fold em
-the occasional screen pass to counterack the rush
-the antonio callaway play never happening again

I admit it, Jules.

I giggled.

Pretend like we are playing the Ravens...and make up a lie about the pre-game handshake to inspire the team.

I think someone should come out and say Russell Wilson shook my hand too many times before the kickoff; I felt violated

This is my biggest beef with every incarnation of this team since the return. Rolling over. Man up and fight until the end.

He reportedly has GIANT hands.

We often get the spiral effect.

- Get punched in the mouth
- Try to fight but lose our composure and make more stupid mistakes
- Leads to us getting punched in the mouth again
- Give up

I think our team has done a good job of fighting to the end in recent years. The last time I saw a team quit on their coach was when Chudzinski was the HC. Thus, I find how we have quit in two games this year even more disturbing.

The maddening part is it only takes one person to mess up and ruin everything. Example is the Calloway INT. We were driving, moving the ball well, called the right play and were executing until he popped it up in the air.

Perhaps the most obvious "area to improve" is EVERYTHING!

That's cool and all, but we'll see what's what on Sunday.

Yep, put up or shut up for us

Everyone has great practices until they get punched in the mouth.

And we don't practice penalties.
