Dorsey? Really? Browns in Good Hands!

I was ready to join Lesmerisis in bashing the decision to fire Sashi Brown.

Fortunately, I didn't have to. ( Les is overboard on "power struggles", "sabotage", "leaks" and conspiracy theories, and I'd prefer not to get any of that LaCanfora on me if I can avoid it).

Anyway...John Dorsey?  I feel sooo much better!

No offense, Sashi, but Dorsey is the real deal, and an upgrade over you.

Get this straight: Wentz and even Watson are D E B A T A B L E decisions, but the influx of team talent the Brown regime brought in is irrefutable err...by any rational measure.  

But Dorsey?  That's the cream of the crop!  You can't NOT hire that guy!

Analytics is just a word.  If you can pick talent, you can pick talent.  It doesn't matter how you get there.  Indeed, Bill Belichick said he doesn't use analytics, but he does.  That's how he thinks.  Nobody ever told him it was "analytics".

So DePodesta has a shot at being retained, despite how wrong he was about Wentz, and Andrew Berry has a better chance, because he did a great job (and is a "foodball guy").

I believe the retention of Hue Fisher for one more season may have been a precondition of Dorsey's contract, since he'd otherwise see how Hue used his personnel and want to fire him.

Try to comprehend that this was a plumb job offer for Dorsey due to the team record, the young talent, and the loaded 2018 draft picks Sashi Brown piled up.

What will Dor...wow there goes Kenny Britt I already LOVE this guy!!! 

Uh-oh!  Now Hue can't use Kenny in his "wide receiver rotation" to get Josh Gordon off the field!  It will have to be Gordon and Ricardo Lewis now!  Think Dorsey checked with Hue on this?

I don't.

I love Dorsey already.  This is one move Sashi should have made before game four.  He's not allowed to tell Hue Jackson how to use his players, but he is allowed to take away that lice-infested one-eyed stinky teddy bear and pitch it so the kid can't...well you know.

Much as Hue Lewis drives me mad, I didn't want him fired (yet).  Been there, done that.  No more starting from scratch, at least not now.

Hue is a blockhead, but not incompetent.  He has made the most of Duke Johnson as a dual-threat, even as he's stifled Crowell.  He is making the most of Njoku and DeValve, albeit rarely at the same time.

His power/man blocking scheme combined with deep passes is a good, proven formula.

Because of Hue Fisher, Isaiah Crowell will probably leave in free agency, as any team willing to zone-block will go after him...but that's it.

Duke, Corey, Josh, Seth, and Njoku will be back.  So will Big Joe.  Hue Lewis will have the ideal array of weapons to fit his scheme...

Except for a big powerful running back.

Quarterback is a whole different can o worms.

Waittilnextyear wants Dorsey to bring Kirk Cousins here.  That would be fine with me, but not for a record-breaking contract; not for "any price".

Others leapt to Alex Smith, since Dorsey signed him and knows him.

Don't expect John Dorsey to open the vault and invite everybody in.  Don't expect him to scrap DePodesta's long-term plan, or sell out for all the marbles in 2018.

The Browns WILL draft a quarterback (probably first overall) in the 2018 draft.  Cousins and Smith know this.  They also know that DeShone Kizer could turn into a pretty good quarterback possibly maybe conceivably.

While I'm at it, Dorsey drafted Rodney Hoganfield...

A Kirk Cousins could be the ticket in 2018 if Dorsey could swing it, because the team around the quarterback will be loaded, and have the talent to contend.

I can hear Permabashers asking who Cousins would throw to derroyy?

Gordon, Coleman, Johnson, and Njoku for starters.  Any of this sinking in yet?

The Browns do have a shot at upsetting the Packers this sunday.  The Kizer-Gordon connection has another week to chemistrationalize, (and Dorsey confiscated Kenny Britt from Hue Fisher).

The Pack in vulnerable to opposing quarterbacks and to the pass in general (just not tight ends--partly because Matthews keeps them in to block a lot).

The Pack isn't built to run the ball, and the Browns are built to stop it.  They'll need to pass more than they want to with Brett Hundley, and McCourty will be on the top guy.

Shelton (yawn) should be back, and the Browns should be able to get heat on Hundley.

Hundley will burn them on the ground but ah the hell with it the Browns are the better team and Josh is back and talent should just fkng prevail at home for once ok?
