Razorthorns, I know you mean well, but I have two words...SHOW ME! I heard this tune so many times it's getting as obnoxious as Tommy Tutone's song 867-5309.

If they were trying to get him to resign, then why didn't they just let us get him?

Clearly, they wanted to see who would blink first.

Kirby - 1

Vikings - 0

But he got it.

He got it off the wall.

My grammar joke didn't work.

Is Paul Kruger a 4-3 OLB, DE, or Neither?

DE. Kruger playing OLB in the 4-3 would be ugly.

So.. a 4-3 D Line would be..

Kruger/A. Bryant
Shelton/Starks
D. Bryant/Hughes
Orchard/Mingo

Not bad?

LBs would need some work.. (Sup Myles Jack?)

I would love to have Jack, but I think we are drafting too early for him.

I know Jaylon Smith's knee is torn up, but I would take a shot on him in the fourth round or higher (IEO).

It is probably a moot point though. My guess is that we hire Ray Horton.

More like A. Bryant, D. Bryant, and Orchard and a bunch of guys that don't fit.

You could put Shelton in as a 2 gap DT on running downs just because we drafted him in the first round but he is also a square peg in a round hole.

If we go with a wide 9, draft 4 LB's with the first 4 picks and hope that they pan out or our defense is going to give up record rushing yardage.

Maybe you just better re-sign then.

can't count on him. at least the first 4 games. h going to be suspended.

It's ok for you to feel that way. I'll just say this. Since the return of the Browns I have never had the vibe I am getting from Hue. I've never gone all in to show my support because I never really felt something other than bleh. I mean I was a little excited about chud and I still think we screwed up not giving him the chance he deserved to build the team up.

Anyways when I watched Hue's presser I could feel it. It just clicked for me. I KNOW that Hue is going to do well. He has the leadership we have never had in a coach. He has that charisma that will have players playing like they would die for him. His body language and posture is over flowing with confidence and his attitude is that of a winner who will win no matter what.

We have never had that from a coach since our return. We have always had timid little men ready to make excuses to why we would lose and why you should not blame them. Hue is not going to accept excuses or tolerate failure. Our team gets in the dump he is gonna be all over them like a mama bear protecting her cub.

You don't have to believe me or trust me but I want to be VERY clear. We finally have that coach we have been waiting for. Hue has the will power and the charisma to make things change. It might not happen this next season as we deal with a young QB but I promise you its coming and coming soon.

Every part of my gut is telling me Hue is finally the coach we have needed. My gut is almost never wrong.

Take it or leave it, I won't take offense if you doubt me. I just want you to know as fans that you have something special to look forward to though =)

Just so long as he keeps his pants on this time around lol

we need LB's no matter what defense we run... they just flat out stink

j/c:

We will probably switch to a 4-3. It will be a built-in excuse that the powers that be need more time to implement their system. Gotta appease the masses, you know....

I don't know if we've ever been really set up for a 3-4, I think this past yr. might be close. But I think were well suited to go with 4-3. Most of our DL is 4-3 guys who we moved around trying to fit in a 3-4. We need one more OLB and maybe a MLB. Not to hard at all.

I have no doubts about his intensity. I would like that hire, if true.

But that seems to be the problem we've had virtually every time we've tried to run the 3-4 no matter who the DC was: we seem to never actually go all in on it. We don't draft or go after legit 3-4 LBers and instead seem to spend more time trying to convert DE's to LBers and LBers to DE's. And when we do get a not so typical player who has an ability, we don't do anything to take advantage of that. For example: Mingo... dude is stupid quick. He's a guy that should be moved all over, and should be on delayed blitzes, or roaming the line looking for a gap to shoot. Find him avenues to the QB similar to what you'd do with a blitzing safety or CB.

Personally I'd take Jeannie (Barbara Feldon) from I Dream of Jeannie more wishes granted and things always seemed to out for the best.

Barbara Eden ... Barbara Feldon was Agent 99 on Get Smart.

This is absolutely freakin wrong on so many levels.

Honestly, I'd take either one

Blasphemy! Jeannie was the ideal of feminine beauty, at least for a 12 year old.

It looks like Hue's staff will be nicknamed:

The Brotha Hood

Black Coaches Matter

Is the Rooney rule one-sided?

Don't you even have to pretend to want to interview a Caucasian, Latino, Asian, or ????

If it were up to me, you'd be on vacation for this post.

Do you even know who Jim Schwartz is?

So you are saying you'd toss the chance to get with Barbara Feldon? I mean, she's a Secret Agent, she knows stuff nobody else knows. Man come on LOL

OK Steve,

I'll pretend it isn't accurate or relevant.

That was pretty racist. You didn't even wait to see who he hired before you made the assumption.

So far we have This Guy.

So most of the coaches he's interested in so far are black. What's your point? We kept Chris Freakin' Tabor (who seems to be like teflon. Undisciplined Special Teams but nothing seems to stick to him. I wonder if he dates Jimmy's Daughter or something)



And I agree. That's just racist. Nickname his staff "The Brotha Hood" That's not right. I'm not going to go into some big explanation about labeling, but that's just offensive

Then why is the favorite for the job Ray Horton, a guy who runs a 3-4?

Whose favorite?

Not mine! I've seen enough of Ray Horton. No need to see more.

I meant favorite like in betting odds. "He's the odds on favorite."

Surprised he didn't jump on the "Singletary is a dark-horse candidate" comment earlier in this thread.

So you think we might get Schwartz?

I'd like that a lot. Although I had a friend from Michigan who knew someone on the practice squad of the Lions or something like that. She told me she heard Schwartz had a drinking problem and partied with the Lions players. But who knows......


He's the guy I'd like the most. And I don't think a 4-3 switch would be that bad. Kruger can play DE. I don't see why Orchard can't. Mingo has been a total dissapointment anyway. I dunno what Armonty Bryant's status is with his pullover at the end of the season. But he's built great for 4-3 DE.

LBs, I think Dansby can play ILB still. Kirskey could start at the WILL position, he's a good tackler and he can cover. So we'd maybe need a SAM.


From my eyes, Schwartz's defenses have always been hungry and aggressive. The only thing I don't like is that they seem to play dirty. But he gets a lot out of his D-Line, that's for sure.



I don't mind Ray Horton. I feel like he's probably been our best D-Coordinator in awhile. Better than Jauron, better than O'Neil. I'm having trouble remembering Magini's Coordinator, and I think Romeo's was Todd Grantham. I think he ended up getting fired because he was talking bad about Romeo.

He would be closer to a Will LB than a DE. Still think he's a liability against the run though.

It looks like the Eagles are going to get Schwartz.



How can you forget Rob Ryan? Also, RAC's defensive coordinator was Mel Tucker (after Grantham was fired).
