I've been a KS sceptic. I've complained about the cute play calling. Getting pass happy. Coming out flat in must win or BIG games. I was critical of having an injured QB and 3rd string RT being 1v1 VS the best pure pass rusher in the NFL. I've highlighted games we were winning while rushing at 8yards + a carry and then losing while going pass happy.
I'm delighted we've won back to back big games. I've seen positives from our ay and the way we've seen the team coached this year. A great example would be the lack of penalties VS Pit. Delighted we had a game plan and stuck to it. There's reasons to be very positive.
But it's not all blue skies and gravy. Last year we got the most out of Brissett. But the Defense stunk... Stefanski supporters were all about the defense not being under his control... So ease tell me how suddenly Stefanski gets all the kudos for games won this season purely off the phenominal defense??... In DTRs first game KS was the opposite of how we aywd VS Pittsburgh this last weekend. He called a game as if we had a Vet QB back there.... We've had games this year where we suddenly go pass centric. And fail. Maybe it was genius waiting for the last drive before airing it out VS Pit? Maybe the game would have been sealed earlier if we'd done it sooner?
We're down oue stud RB. Watson **appeared to turn the corner and played two good/great games with his wins VS TN and Baltimore, and now he's out. Stefanski has had his share of obstacles. He's doing better than many or most would expect. That's commendable. That provides hope. But I still feel like the verdict is still in the balance. As others said., all I want to do is cheer for a winning Browns team, if KS is legit and a good or great HC so much the better.
