I think we beat Cleveland

I know it is not popular right now, but I think we stand an excellent chance of beating Cleveland this week.

First we had a great day rushing with from Goodson who gives us two consecutive 100 yard rushing days. We will be going against a Cleveland team that ranks 21st against the run.

Our QB play was bad, but not as bad as I expected. I think Clausen will be back under center and I look for him to be accurate enough especially if we can actually run play action off of a decent running game.

I think this situation is tailor made for Fox Ball (I may not like it but it is what it is). I think we control the game with our run game which will allow us to play action pass which will help our QB and by controlling the clock allow the Defense (who have played decently) not to get gassed by the 3rd quarter.

I predict a Carolina victory (Car - 16 Cleveland - 10).

So we get win number 2, and that is straight from Nostra-dumbass, so take it for what it is worth. :)

Without reading your post, aside from the title, I don't agree and don't understand this line of thinking. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Why? Because Cleveland's defense has bottled up some of the best offenses in the league this year. Our offense sucks against bad defenses and we're top 5 in the league in giveaways if I'm not mistaken.

If Colt plays, their offense has looked great with him in there. Even if they end up playing Seneca or Jake, they are still gonna look good against our defense.

So no... we won't beat Cleveland.

Doubt we hold them to 10, they put up 20 against the Jets and 34 against the Pats recently. Last 4 games have scored 20+ in each.

I will admit that I may be a big homer when it comes to this pick. I think this could be a big trap game for them. If we can just get some early success. I like our chances.

the Browns are 3-7 coming off 2 losses......I don't think this qualifies as a trap game.

Browns will beat us. They have actually been playing good football recently.

we will be lucky to score.... their D is pretty tight.

I will admit to not watching much of Cleveland games. Mainly because they are f'ing Cleveland but our defense is ranked 14th overall (I think) and I am pretty sure Cleveland is ranked 23 overall.

Stats mean nothing in the end, but that was what I was going by.

Duly noted... Browns lost some really close games and beat N.O. and N. E. This game will be a good boost in confidence for them...

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
