Is Odell Bechkam ever going to be a main reason the Browns won a game?
Will the Browns figure out the passing thing before I die?
Bottom line, Browns must win 6 of the next 6, 8-1, or they most likely miss the playoffs. Can't figure out Lamar Jackson. Can't figure out how to get in FG range in 3 plays or less. Still in 3rd place. Swept 2 whole divisions last year, never got out of 3rd place until the final game. The System is set up to hate Ohio.
Here's an article from the Athletic regarding Oline rankings. I'll drop the link (I believe it's behind a paywall, though), and summarize as the article isn't really conducive to cut-and-paste. The portions in quotes are the chunks I lifted straight from the article. https://theathletic.com/2855505/2021/10/...s-falling-down/
Browns have the #1 line at this point (3 games). They have the least total pressures, and are near the top in the other metrics.
"These results are one of the wilder anomalies of this study. The Browns are the best in keeping heat away from Baker Mayfield, and yet he’s one of the more sacked quarterbacks in the league. Here’s the more telling stat: Of the 190 players fitting the qualifications, Cleveland is the only team without an offensive lineman with five or more pressures allowed through three weeks.
Tackles Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills have allowed four pressures each. Tackle Chris Hubbard skewed the numbers when filling in for Wills with a rough Week 1 outing (three pressures, one sack in 36 snaps). Guards Wyatt Teller (three pressure) and Joel Bitonio (one), along with center JC Tretter (one) round out a stout pass-protecting unit.
The Browns also rank 30th in pass snap percentage at 52.4 percent. But when they do pass the football, Mayfield typically isn’t pressured too often."
Vikings are #2 on the list. They seem to allow more pressures but take less sacks than we do.
"There’s no wonder why right tackle Brian O’Neill landed a monster contract at the beginning of the season. He’s one of nine qualified linemen without surrendering a pressure so far. It’s even more impressive given he’s taken the most offensive snaps of those nine with 208 snaps.
Tackle Rashod Hill leads the team with eight pressures (tied for 31st overall), giving up three pressures each in Week 2 at Arizona and Week 3 vs. Seattle. Guard Ezra Cleveland gave up three of his five pressures in Week 1 at Cincinnati. Center Garrett Bradbury also struggled against the Bengals, allowing a single-game team-high four pressures. Guard Oli Udoh has been the most stable with four pressures on Kirk Cousins."
Chargers' line is tied for 6th. Steelers are 9th Bengals are at 14th, but the author has his reservations about that, and points out they run the ball a lot. Ravens are ranked 28th, and that's almost totally because of their tackles. The Villanueva experiment apparently hasn't been going well.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
I was assuming that was simply a clip of where he literally won the game off that busted end-around... forgetting he had gone off pretty much all game.

Clearly the players support each other and believe in the team.
Berry and Stefanski are joined at the hip.
Have to give credit to the Haslams. They have come a long ways as owners.
We should be a good for a long time.
I sure hope we can win it all. I know how hard that is. And I know you need a little luck as well.
The days of torture are over.
I am going to enjoy the ride.
I think Dee might be the brains of that family operation.
I remember not long ago when there was a big call for the Haslams to sell the team. (too whom I don't know)
I always thought that was rather short sighted.. I wasn't happy with them, but I also decided that all they were doing was turning everything over and over until they found the right folks... It took them a while, but they finally did it I think..

It seems like things stabilized more when Dee got more of a say as opposed to Jimmy. I think he also felt pretty damn embarrassed by - not only the whole Pilot scandal - but also that exposé that Sports Illustrated(?) put out there about how dysfunctional things were under him and his meddling.
DePodesta seems to also have been a more stabilizing influence as well. Paul has seen a whole lot of drama, but you never really hear his name associated with any of it. It was pretty apparent that Dorsey had an eye for talent, but also wanted to be top dog and got pretty territorial about it. His departure I believe was the last step toward cohesiveness.

Let's just say that it took a few tries for a blind squirrel to find the nut.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

Dee's been involved since they bought the team so I doubt her being more prominent means much. That was done because of the crapstorm at Pilot Flying J.
Now it might be safe to say that the son in law being hired was the x factor.. I don't know.

She definitely ramped up her involvement after all that happened. You started seeing her more in the news toward the culmination of everything starting to go wrong in ‘16 and ‘17.
I don’t think very highly of JW3 just based on his level of involvement and how he acted when things were going south. I’ve always been under the impression with him that he’s basically a remora. He’s been dealing with uniforms and marketing and whatnot. Maybe I’m wrong, but I haven’t been a huge fan of his.

Tried to figure. If the playoffs were today. 3 weeks into the season, (page 2 of this thread)... The NFL has 11 or 12 tie breakers for most situations. Strong case others would be discarded until these. The entire AFC would be determined by tie breakers 5-7. 2 teams are 3-0 for the #1 seed and bye, the Broncos' and Raiders. found in the same division. (tie breakers) 1. head to head, not enough data 2. division record, not equal data 3. record in common games, not enough data 4. conference record, not enough data, the NFL would simply have to toss those 4 in the trash. #5 matters, and #7, but the 6th tie breaker, strength of schedule, would also be thrown out for all afc teams did not finish their schedules. (And it wouldn't change results anyways.)
Back to #5. Strength of victory. the combined wins vs losses of the teams a club in question beat. the 3-0 Broncos sov is 0-9, way worse than the 3-0 Raiders sov of 4-5, too much to overlook the Raiders would get the #1 seed and the first round bye. the only other 3-0, the Broncos would get the first Wild card spot and #4 seed.
Which then brings the AFC, to playoff tie break procedure #7. Best combined rank among AFC teams in points scored, and points allowed. That's if the playoffs were After week 3. 1. Raiders with the bye 2. Buffalo 3. Browns 4. Titans 5. Denver 6. Bengals 7. Chargers (Chargers at Bills) (Bengals at Browns) (Broncos at Titans) Raiders get the bye.
After week 4 played, the #5 tie Break Strength of Victory comes into play a lot to sort out the 3-1 teams. I'll put sov4 for example to represent a clubs teams they've beaten combined for 4 wins themselves = their, strength of victory. high number better. Sos, is the w-l of all teams you played, win't or lost, that's tie break 6. which comes into play at the end btween the Broncos and Bengals. .. Best I can figure if the Playoffs were this week. 1. seed, Bye, Chargers, sov.7 earliest tie break. 2. seed Ravens, sov.5 5 wins by clubs they've beat brings them from missing the playoffs last week, all the way to #2 seed and the AFC North div. this week. 3. seed, Bills, 3-1 next div winner at 3-1 4. seed. Titans, div winner at 2-2 then the wild cards.. 5. seed. Raiders, sov.5 the teams they've beat have won 5 6. Browns, Sov: Strenght of victory, 4, the teams they've beaten have won 4 7. seed. comes down to two remaining 3-1 teams, the Broncos and Bengals at tie break #5 both have a sov.2
But tie break #6, strength of schedule, the Bengals whole schedule opponents record combines for a record of 4-12, while the Broncos whole schedule of opponents record combied for a record of 5-11. Advantage Broncos. Broncos #7 seed Cincinnat no playoffs, (Broncos also have the #7 tie break combined ranking in points for and points against vs. the afc. over the bengals. (Broncos at Ravens), (Browns at Bills), (Raiders at Titans), and LA Chargers get the bye. if this week. What a difference a week makes. Edit: The only point is to build a power ranking list.

Headline should be. Browns let Elijah Lee get away
DAvion Davis is signed by the Texans.
The Browns sign some lousy OL from the Texans PS. Like they need another OL< they Aren't using the ones they have!! putting out a Left freaking Tackle on a bad leg that will escalate to an injury they can't ignore.
This system doesn't get real players. This system does't 'keep' real players.
Surprised about Lee,, he seemed to play well on Sunday
Yeah, same here. I'd rather see Lee play and Wilson get lopped.
Wilson has graded out better than Lee, for whatever that's worth. Seems like Wilson has played better by not playing as much, and with Anthony Walker coming back possibly this weekend...Mack Wilson still probably won't be playing a lot.
