Discuss, or flame away.

So Rhule was correct in saying "The process is working, we just can't see it yet?" We're improving but just not getting the W's? Nah, the only stat that matters is Wins.

Yeah we need a GM with more of a spine. 

Unfortunately for us, contractual obligation beats "spine".

Rhule has contractual final say. It doesn't matter how much "spine" Fitt has, Rhule wins.

Also side note about PFF and why we love them one day or week and hate them the next Elflein was one of our lowest graded players against the Saints just good to take most of this with a grain of salt.

 

Tell me you didn't read the article, without telling me you didn't read the article.

Mayfield was sacked on 9.3% of his drop backs last year for Cleveland

Brissett is currently at 4.2%

Compare the health of both Brisset this season to Mayfield last season and then also compare the health of the CLE oline,  specifically the tackles. 

Also look at Mayfield's pressure rate last year, it was around third highest last season.

I think most alpha type GMs wouldn't of taken the job because of that.

Not arguing about health--I don't know what Cleveland's situation was last year.  But Mage's point is a valid one.  Sack rates tend to follow QBs around.  Just look at Joe Burrow this year thus far.  He was sacked an incredible amount last year.  And the Bengals went out and invested big time in upgrading the offensive line, similarly to how we made fixing our's a priority.  But Burrow is still getting sacked at a high rate this year.  It comes down to his style of play.  He hangs onto the ball a long time and when he bails from the pocket, he's hellbent on extending the play for as long as possible to try to find an open man downfield rather than throwing the ball away.  It all leads to high sack totals regardless of how good the offensive line is. Russell Wilson is another good example.

I'm not going to sit here and say our offensive line is necessarily top 10.  But it is vastly improved from last year, despite struggling with consistency.  So Baker is to blame for a lot of the dysfunction in the pass game, particularly with sacks.

I wonder if Bozeman in the middle would make us even better. Id have to think so in the run game- but maybe not...

[NorthTryon]

This was exactly the case with Baker's bum ass in Cleveland. He had a good defense, a top o-line, weapons galore, and was still garbage. Only Rhule and Fitts would trade to sign up for that disaster.

We'll have to wait for an Elf injury to find out. In the game review thread it sounds like BC and Elf weren't getting much push

McAdoo not knowing how to scheme the weapons we have is brutal to watch. 

Man this offense is sad. 

Brutal! We completely quit throwing to cmc. He was a battering ram last week. He beats linebackers on routes 100% of the time. Throwing to him early and often is a lock for 6yds a pop. He should get a minimum of 8 targets a game. We did this with Allen, we did this with Sam. Baker gets out there and CMC is either picking up blockers or running straight up the gut. Jesus, just trade the guy and start Foreman if that is our game plan. Idk, man, maybe mix a fuging screen in sometime?  What the fug are we doing?

and no poo the defenses are pinning their ears back, we run 3 fuging plays a game! There is no chance they come even close to getting gassed. 
 

I was very hopeful about Mcadoo and am very disappointed so far.
