PFF video on Gries first start. Surprise!

They made a really good point towards the end of the video. Basically stating that if Grier doesn't have a decent game that shows he can maybe develop into something, he may very well not be in the roster next year. 

To that, really two games isn't enough to see what he's got. I agree with most of what they said, he did look uncomfortable and apparently had 52 drop backs. That's insane for a rookie that you're trying to ease in. Then DJ moore going down definitely didn't help and well the O-line losing a lot of the battles, the special teams not stopping Hines and having to work from behind. No I am not making excuses for the kid, just a lot things stacked against him and him being very uncomfortable in there. First game jitters I suppose. Still, small sample size. We'll see what happens this Sunday. 

 

We'll see what he does come Sunday.

He may not make the final roster next season, but he is definitely going to camp with the team.

edit: I do think he'll be on the roster next season, but a lot depends on the new coach, what they do with Cam, what we pick up in the draft and FA etc.  Allen and Grier could both be on another team next year.

He played one game, and he is on the worst team in the NFL.  And yes, we are currently the worst team in the league.  

Currently the standings say there are at least 7 worse teams by record. Are we going by your personal subjective feelings or the objective measures of record/point differential that most people use?

    • Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't pay critical attention to anyone but the Panthers, but I will do research on occasion and keep abreast of the NFL in general. Certain things pique my interest, like why results are at odds with what some people are trying to sell. As for your question, It's not that they were literally out of position, but more about scheme fit and play calling. Baker didn't believe that Stefanski was supportive enough.  Hopefully this isn't behind a paywall for you. https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2022/01/browns-qb-baker-mayfield-must-resolve-his-differences-with-kevin-stefanski-soon-in-case-they-need-to-co-exist-next-season-mary-kay-cabot.html Now I'm sure that you already know about all the OBJ drama. Unfortunately paywalls are a thing, but here is a direct quote from NFL.com and Kevin Patra: "Stefanski's scheme also didn't play to OBJ's strength. The timing offense predicated on wideouts being at a specific spot and the QB reading the progression negated some of what made Beckham a star in New York." https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-planning-to-release-wr-odell-beckham In general, some fans---not all---think that Stefanski's offense minimizes receivers' production, pointing to several pairings, OBJ and Jarvis Landry most notably. And, to be honest, the dropoffs in production kinda speak to that.  Like you've said, him and Watson had tensions. Whatever you think of Watson as a person, his play regressed. He went from one of the best to one of the worst. Sure, it all could've just been mental or Karma, but more than a few thought that Watson's shotgun style would not work with Stefanskics zone-wide scheme, and it didn't. My thing is, that HCs shouldn't least be willing to do some  identifying of problems and strengths, and do at least a little compromising and adapting instead of being so indebted to their scheme that they continue to showcase failure as opposed to trying something different. I just might have higher expectations of what I call a good coach. Sure, all failed coaches have excuses, many that are legitimate, but for me you just can't be stubborn. Real coaching is about adapting for me. You must at least try to adapt to the situation, to your personnel, and to your opponent.  Perhaps Stefanski can do these things, but for me it's way too early to be giving him the label "good" or "great" based upon his body of work. In my mind, he's wasted some pretty good defenses due to lack of offensive creativity.
    • They have about 30,000,000 which is middle of the pack and not a lot of flexibility to restructure more cap. They also have notable free agents to try to resign. -Kaden Elliss -Kyle Pitts -Elijah Wilkinson -Arnold Ebiketie -Leonard Floyd -David Onyemata -Dee Alford -Tyler Allgeier Oh and no first round pick. Bucs will implode next year, Falcons will be rebuilding. It will be us and the Saints fighting it out.
    • That defensive line is fine, they don't have the players behind them at LB to be really really good against the run.    Pff also have his stats wrong, they gave him less sacks, less pressures and less QB hits than any other service or what the NFL officially gave Burns.
