Johnny Balloon-Head, Browns Analysis Corrections

I'm not concerned about Johnny's partying--just about his apparant mental illness.  "Attention-seeking behavior" doesn't sound that bad, but it's a clinical term for a mental condition.

So, Johnny...why is it so important to you that as many people as possible see you as often as possible with every famous person you can find?  And how did you get along with your mother?

Johnny, Joe Montana was being diplomatic.  What he really meant was that your mug everywhere all the time gets boring after awhile, and pretty soon everybody will be sick of you like I am.

I'd say "grow up", but in your case I gotta say "Get help".

I'm afraid that WHEN this guy doesn't start, he'll go off the deep end.  Ever play with your cat by getting it to chase the light from a flashlight?  Well that's Johnny with a spotlight.  Gimme a break.

"Hoyer's hurt.  Johnny!  JOHNNY!  Where the hell is he?"

"Uh...well...look at the big screen..."

"Are you KIDDING me!?  Who is that next to him?"

"Looks like Justin Timberlake."

"Send Benjamin up there to get him back on the damn field ASAP!"

"No need.  We'll post to his facebook page.  He should see it within ten seconds."

This article  in Dawgs by Nature kind of irked me, as it assumed that Billy Winn would back up Rubin at DE.

Why would that taller, faster guy back up the nose tackle at defensive end?

Why don't you get this?  I know you got to know and like Rubin first, but he only ever played defensive end because there was nobody else, and because Taylor was the primary nose tackle!  He's a defensive tackle or a nose tackle first, and defensive end in a pinch.

Defensive ends even in a 3-4 need more reach and speed, and that's Winn.

Nor is this a "3-4" anymore, really.  Pettine/O'Brien will make the most of their talent, and run all sorts of fronts.  Winn is a defensive tackle or a 3-4 defensive end.  Rubin is a nose tackle or defensive tackle.  The defensive line is now stacked, and there's no need to play Rubin out of position.

It also hardly matters who starts.  There will be a heavy rotation to keep everybody fresh.  

Hey, I like Rubin too.  I just know what he is, and what he isn't.

And this just in: The National Bleacher Report ranked the Browns defensive line TWENTY SEVENTH.

Mentally impaired people should not be published, ok?  Yeah, they got Rubin as the starter at DE too, so that they can say he's "below average".  The guy on Dawgs by Nature either got this from them, or they got it from him.

They said this about Winn: They mentioned his name.  The writer said he was a Phil Taylor fan, as if that's unpopular.  He had an "off year" last year.  Well, he played NOSE TACKLE.  What kind of stats were you looking for out of a human fire hydrant?

I'm so sick of these idiots who think 3-4 defensive linemen are supposed to have the same stats as their 4-3 counterparts.

Zero research.  As I've said, this season this won't be a true 3-4, and these guys will play different roles.  You want bigger things out of Taylor, stay tuned, because he'll be a passrushing tackle in a 4-3 sometimes.  Rubin won't play out of position.  Desmond Bryant will be back, and--like Winn--will play 3-4 DE and passrushing DT.

In reality, the outside 'backers are part of this formula, as one or both will have their hands in the dirt a lot, and they'll be passrushing.  Armonte Bryant is a forgotten factor here.  He's similar to Sheard, but faster.

The real reason a top five defensive line is ranked 27th?

They're Cleveland Browns.
