I just tuned into UCSS.

Two questions were brought up that were on point.

The Browns have not drafted real talent at wide receiver for so long that people can't remember a guy who accomplished much. I mean Braylon Edwards? Please.

Will KC and Boston finally give us true weapons at wide receiver?

Number two question. The Browns didn't just add a player on the offensive line. They changed the entire Offensive Line. Fano was our first pick. The rest?
How good or bad is the offensive line?

We are all aware of the quarterback question.

Looking at the receivers and the offensive line. It is a question.

Myles and Schwartz are gone. We have a new DC. We traded and added Verse. Where is this defense?

JMHO, our line last year was OLD and INJURED lots- lots of change.

This years line isn't established yet and best five undetermined- my hope is Brailsford wins Center spot and Jenkins goes to guard, others set sort of.

QBs can't perform if they are under CONSTANT pressure- ie, poor line, thus WRs are hurt- steady line play is PARAMONT.

PS- Defensive men in the box- stopped our runs and blitzed to punish Qbs due to POOR LINE PLAY.

Our line MUST be better this year- period. New coaches/players/ and hopefully LUCK- Go Browns!!!

Prudent points on the last 2 posts. I don't know how things will shake out but I have opinions. I don't see how our O-Line can't be better than last year. We signed and drafted better talent than what we had. KC and Boston along with the further development of Isaiah Bond should be much better. The question is how long it will take for these 2 units to come together and play at a high level. It could happen sooner than we think or it may take a while. And of course there's our yearly numerous issues at QB. I feel we could win anywhere from 5-7 games with the possibility of 2 or 3 more depending on how quickly this team will gel and the QB play. As for the D no Myles new coaches again, who knows. If the O can move the ball and score it will help the D. We can speculate all we want and that makes for good discussion, but we really won't know until actual games are played.

I prefer to view the glass half full.

However, there is a lot to come together in order to win.

A entire new coaching staff who has no experience with this roster.

A load of rookies who will need to be depended upon.

A quarterback battle that splits reps when the starter needs more reps.

The loss of a good DC and the best defender in the NFL.

A young receiver room who needs to develop chemistry with a single quarterback. A quarterback battle between two guys with very little recent success.

Tall task on the plate to win games.

Monken is the right guy because he is experienced but his first head coaching job in the NFL will be a challenge.

I wish I could be optimistic but there are so many question marks.

Whoever wins the QB battle will need to play at a high level right away or the season could go sour fast.
