So you are ok if the Browns lose by 3, 24-21.
I was going to reply.
GC.
Thread title ^
sounds like the kiss of death.
When the Browns can't beat the Titans, and folks gripe.
The Team can check it's recent memeory, Why couldn't the Browns hang on to Any of these veteran players on defense.
They, ALL, somehow are good enough for the NFL but not for the Browns, and or, Browns can't somehow keep them on the team.
And this isn't a full list, there are more, there are the Williams Duo, and other DB's I'd have to look up, but
Joe Haden, Jason McCourty, and Tashaun Gipson, (Peppers)
Jabaal Sheard
Emmanuel Ogbah
Nate Orchard
Carl Nassib
Jamie Collins
Joe Schobert
Genard Avery,
You aren't going to win a Super Bowl when you can't keep people who can make tackles.
That line is almost signature worthy in itself.
Whatever, 9-7 no playoffs,
Whatever,
I don't think the Browns are going to win the big games, or look good in them.
I don't think anyone can hide the inexperience and lack of top notched-ness on the defense (( unless they awake a sleeping
giant Baker?))
followed the recipe I recently expressed is their problem, the hope that,
The game isn't to develop your own players. (which it is)
But the game is to find somewhere else, someone who is 1 nth percent, a lil' better and just plugging them in, will = better results, (without developing your own players)
like, Richardson for Shelton.
like Oliviver Vernon for Ogbah.
Which, don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's actually an excellent move to bring in Richardson and Vernon, but to think you can totally move on from Ogbah and Shelton because of it,
and never develop your own guys, ?
Well that's not what super bowl teams do.
The Front 4 on defense? Sure top notch, no compaints, but,
everything behind it is like a crashing airplane,
with a couple of players, here, there, maybe Mitchell and Ward,
trying to hold off the flood with chewing gum,
trying to hold a pool liner full of water over their head that's too wide for one persons reach, going back and forth unsuccessfully.
So, IF/when, the Titans game turns into a dominant defeat reminiscent of last years opener,
well, maybe think, Hey! just because we signed/traded for Odell Beckham, maybe somebody could talk Breshad Perriman into sticking around because, (florida wr, went all johnny manziel on ya) and Beckham is going to be out half the games, ...(no fault of his own, just par for the injury course but)
Now instead of Breshad and (Guy from florida college?) of 2018, you've got Hodge and Taiwan,
and Peoples-Jones not getting bett...
Did ya ever notice, how No body's game improves, AFTER, they join the Browns?
Not since 2002 anyways.
- Go Team! prove me wrong.
