WEEK 8 - STEELER WEEK....Cle at Pit

They're exhausted because their counterparts are one dimensional. Absolutely ZERO downfield receiving threats.

IMHO, a downfield threat that's a head case is STILL better than none at all.

 

Near zero downfield play calls....Receiver screens were't working today, but he called about 7 of them, ridiculous. Maybe Haley should be relieved of his duties. Baker had zero time to throw today either though, too many unblocked blitzes. That's a scheme issue, not being prepared or make adjustments in your blocking calls.

 

I thought you guys were going to shock us again. But then we woke up. You guys should draft oline big time next draft. You don’t have one right now.

 

If you are what your record says you are, Hue Jackson is the second-worst coach in NFL history.

The Browns’ loss today drops Jackson to 11-44-1 as an NFL head coach: 8-8 in Oakland and 3-36-1 in Cleveland. That’s a winning percentage of .205.

How bad is that? There have been 219 coaches in NFL history who coached at least 40 games in their career. Jackson ranks 218th in career winning percentage.

The only coach who was worse was Bert Bell, who led the Eagles to a record of 10-46-2 (.179) from 1936 to 1941. And Bell couldn’t be fired because he was also the owner of the Eagles.

Jackson doesn’t have that luxury. Soon, Jimmy Haslam is going to have to make a decision about the direction of his franchise. When your coach has won only three games and he’s in the middle of his third season, it’s past time to ask hard questions about whether you need to replace him.

 

:: side note:: 3 Browns started for KC's OL today: Cam Erving, Mitchell Schwartz, and Austin Reiter (albeit the 3rd C in 3 weeks)

 

Fire the Walrus. Mayfield won't survive if he stays.

 

I don't disagree with this...if we are cleaning house, it's time for both Wylie AND Jones to go. Can it really get any worse than it is right now on the offensive line and special teams?

 

Maybe it's just eternal optimism speaking here... but what if our new offensive coordinator, formerly running backs coach, dials up a TON of running plays? Maybe getting this team going on the ground first and then allowing Mayfield to work off play-action could change the blocking dynamic?
