1: Myles Garrett's leg presses are meaningless in terms of his FOOT injury. He didn't show calf raises because he isn't doing them yet *Myles if you read this don't be a dumbass and start doing them just to show me dammit*
2: Terry, the fact that Cody Kessler was under pressure 47% of the time is irrelevant. The fact that he completed 80% of his passes under pressure is not. How can you get a guy who was "overwhelmed by the speed of the game" out of any part of this?
And pressure means more than four passrushers, not guys getting in your face. Kessler was overwhelmed at times when guys reached him too quickly, but so are most quarterbacks--let alone rookies.
He was blitzed a lot (mostly inside), and reacted well to those blitzes. I know you try to be objective. You missed.
3: Most NFL wide receivers hit their strides in their third seasons. Game experience is only marginally more important than practice reps, which is why this is almost as true for guys who've rarely seen the field as it is for established guys.
Running correct routes, along with all other skills, is a matter of repetition. These skills are as easily developed against one's own teammates as against other teams in real games.
There is similar contact and deception on the practice field. Defenders try just as hard. Quarterbacks and coaches call you all the same names when you screw up.
The Browns do not need another "veteran" wide receiver...unless his initials are Josh Gordon...who you think they should cut....
4: Especially not when they have both DeValve and Njoku, will probably carry four tight ends, will run a lot of two-tight end formations, put a running back in the slot a bunch, and will rarely have more than two actual wide receivers on the field.
Who should the vedderrunn wide receiver put on the bench? Britt or Coleman? (Oh yeah Coleman. He's not vedderruned enuff yedd). And does the geezer need to be any good at all?
5: Nate Orchard was a defensive end in college, not a 3-4 OLB.
6: A "Hue Jackson offense" has always depended on the nature of the talent he's had to work with. He has never had two passcatching tight ends. He does now. Why can't you figure this out?
McNanoman asked the AFC North Beat writers if Hue Jackson would be coaching the Bengals in 2018. They all said no. I just wonder why he asked that question.
He'd leave a team whose core is entering it's prime for an old team that's fading why? Jeez, Pat!
Another writer tried to figure out how well Njoku would do as a rookie. Gronk (47 catches) aside, several other really good ones averaged around 36-38 catches as rookies.
The writer was reasonable to exempt Gronk, because Tom Brady won't be here.
But I'll settle for Njoku catching 36 and DeValve 47, provided both average over 15 ypc.
A Pittsburgh writer predicted Browns vs Steelers in 2017. I can't argue with his obvious conclusions. He tried to be objective, but didn't bother with much research.
He wondered if Njoku would be the only viable receiver. I know if you've got Antonio Brown on your team, it's hard to get excited about anybody else, but that's still pretty bad.
No bigee. He was as gentle as he could be in predicting a Steelers' sweep. Black Cloud might disown me for this, but I've met a lot of pretty cool Steelers fans. And while I'm at it, I don't hate Tom Brady or the Patriots either.
I just tell them "We're sneaking up on you. Get it while you still can."
I don't tell Ravens or Bengals fans that. Guess why.
