Yeah, F the Ravens. I had to go 4 years without a team and just watched my favorite Ohio State players on Sundays like Eddie George and Joey Galloway.

I'm in a similar place now not wanting to root for a sexual predator at QB. So I'll root for Baker and Ohio State players when I watch games but I won't watch the Browns games because I don't want to go to a place that I can't turn back from in case I ever get the opportunity to turn back.

I think Baker will play well if the offensive scheme is smart. I'm not real confident in that since he hasn't been there long and coaches usually make players adapt to their system and don't adapt their system to suit their QB but I guess we'll see.

I can respect that although rooting for Baker now that he isn't a brown and Ohio State alum makes for an odd bedfellow.

Browns will rely on their run game, which is pretty freaking good and was a weakness for our D last year. They will run it until we make them stop. Probably won’t see much in their passing game unless they get down big.

Their D will of course target our new LT and LG. there aren’t many better than Miles Garrett. TE’s will have to help out.

If you can't count on your RB2 to get you a couple of first downs then you don't need him on the depth chart.

Odds are the second string RB relies more on the OL than the starter. Odds are CMC breaks a tackle that most backs in the league wouldn't, if that's the difference between a win and punting the ball to the other team it seems like an easy choice.

Now there are times to rest your starter. It depends on the time in the game and the score. There is a good chance fresh legs late can be an advantage.

Then again, a player can have 40 touches and not get injured and the next game have 6 and get injured so it's really a crap shoot. A lot of luck involved. Certainly fewer opportunities to get injured the better but I don't think you can play scared in this league.

I recently seen a DWI video of old baker that both increase then decrease my feeling about him.... he pulled a lame run as well.....

It wasn't a DWI they were just questioning him about an incident that wasn't related to him and he ran. He didn't run far, he was tackled rather quickly. He had been drinking and that hurt his decision making that prompted him to run and his ability to get away.

Mostly just funny though, had he not ran they would have just asked if he saw anything and moved on. Instead he picked up a charge.

Put the check in the win column. People seem to have forgotten what CMC can do. We may not stop Chubb, but we'll slow him down. We already know that Mayfield is motivated, and Brissett won't be able to match him. Our corners are better than theirs, and if Mayfield uses everything at his disposal, they're receivers can't match ours.

It'll be interesting watching the O-line against the CLE established D-line and what McAdoo draws up/what Baker audibles to. The thing i've picked up from pressers that actually makes me feel somewhat optimistic is that Baker has free reign to change the plays however he feels fit at the line of scrimmage. Wouldn't trust Darnold with that but I could see it being a positive with Baker and CMC beside each other in the backfield

Stop their run, at minimum to the point they aren't getting chunks of yards. Be the better defense. This could be a brief return to John Fox style of game. Punts aren't a bad play, win the field position battle, play to our strengths. Make their QB play directly into what our strength is supposed to be, superior pass defense and secondary. If we can do that, we can ugly out a win against them.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
