I certainly think Monken is in an unenviable position. I get the fact that there are only 32 NFL HC'ing jobs but still. Considering his display at the end of yesterdays practice I think he may be beginning to realize that and the frustration may be showing as a result.

Yes, I've seen both cerebral and emotional coaches win. I don't think either one indicates "this is the right and only way to win". I have just seen posters indicate that without showing your emotions it is a bad thing when that's not necessarily true.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I actually agree with this on Gabriel - he's got the highest floor in terms of making mistakes. He sucks and won't make plays, but he won't do dumb stuff either

With just a little protection and some legitimate WR's you never know. But certainly nothing about him screams "sucks".

PIT = Considering his display at the end of yesterdays practice I think he may be beginning to realize that and the frustration may be showing as a result.

Can you tell me what happened or put some context to this? I have not seen anything.

Dawgs4Life = He sucks and won't make plays, but he won't do dumb stuff either.

I think Gabriel could make some dumb plays, he is still young. I think the "He sucks/won't make plays" is a bit harsh. It might be proven to be true but he played against some good defenses with a bad OL and WR and a conservative KS calling the shots ... who knows what he was asked to do. I's like to see him when asked to go deep and judge those results for themselves.

Yes, maybe saying he sucks is harsh - I will soften that a bit by saying he cannot be a good QB in this league IMO. His arm strength, size, and lack of athleticism will be too much to overcome. He's Cody Kessler IMO

Apparently at some point near the end of practice there were a number of procedure issues with both SS and DW.

They could not get the plays off. People may not have been lined up correctly. Or, corrections were not called out.

Monken got pissed. Threw his walkie talkie and ended practice.

This is still early and stuff like that is going to happen. The OL is all new. There are many new players on offense. The qbs are splitting reps.

They have to learn cadence changes.

It is not a big deal. However, it is expected when DW has not played in two years and SS has played 7 games in another offense.

This is where we are on offense.

Well I like that from Monken. Personally.

Hopefully it is to make a point and not "typical" - but it certainly sends a message to the QB's and the whole team.

** Edit - we needed that when a certain "star" WR didn't know where the F to line up and had to constantly be told by his QB ... right before he ran the wrong routes and 'got wide open'. Yes ... I definitely like Monken's intolerance of that incompetence.

Over his career Monken's offenses have ranked in the middle of pre-snap penalties.

In an early press conference he plainly stated that he hates "sloppy football" and it is a reflection on bad coaching.

Monken was hired to fix the offense. He knows that.

There are some good young players on offense. I expect improvement.

But I am not expecting a drastic immediate improvement.

The quarterback touches the ball on every play. He carries a big responsibility for how the offense works.

And as of today we don't have a starter.

His clear arm strength on his college tape which I have posted more than once proves a lack of arm strength in incorrect. It also shows his ability to scramble when needed. That along with his accuracy to covered WR's. Not saying he is Lamar Jackson but how many NFL QB's are?

It appears I need to show these again.





Please stop posting false and misleading statements.
