2020 Browns and Brains...Believe it or not. We Hope. For a Change. Dammit

Social Justice warrior and Head Coach Kevin Stafanski was asked how he plans to spread the ball around to so many talented players.

Kevin seems much smarter about football than he is about white guilt and echo-chambers, as he actually gave an actual answer:

He's not going to worry about who gets what when.  He's going to let the weekly matchup determine the game-plan.

Outstanding.  Every defense is unique, and clearly Stefanski intends to use whichever combinations seem best-suited to exploit the given defense's weaknesses.

He also mentioned the old axiom "think about the players, not the plays".  If I heard him right, he was talking about exploiting individual mismatches by any means neccessary.

So far, everybody is repeating how often Stefanski has used 2 Tight Ends, etc., but he didn't have Chubb and Hunt (for all intents and purposes, 2 rushing champs in their primes) in Minnesota.

Bucky Brooks, asked how Hunt and Chubb should be used, said "as runners".  Bucky says there's no reason why this team shouldn't be running the ball 32+ times per game--maybe 18 for Chubb and 12 or so for Hunt.

Bucky didn't spell it out, but doesn't seem to think that passing to these guys would be especially helpful, as there are all those receivers all over the place that get deeper (where Mayfield likes 'em) thanks to defenses throwing the kitchen sink at the running backs.

Bucky was a defensive back, and probably also likes the idea of Hunt/Chubb blocking for eachother (they would target secondary players a lot--including safetybackers--and deck them).

Stefanski mentioned that both these guys are just "excited to contribute to a winning team", and are old school.

I hate to keep repeating this, but a "2-back" can also turn into a 1-back with Kareem Hunt's ability to line up in the slot.

An "elephant" set is 2 big backs and 2 Tight Ends (one WR).  Defenses yank any passrushers who lack physicality, and sub in all their run-stuffers; only 4 real DBs, obviously.

Hunt lining up wide (along with Njoku) turns this into a 3-wide spread vs a base defense that probably has to blitze to create meaningful pressure, while simultaneously opening up huge gaps for a handoff.

But Kevin Stefanski sounded like we might see this stuff one week, then 1 back the next week, then 2 backs and 2 WRS the next week.

I love it!  The main thing for real team players is winning.  Look at the Patriots:  Sure, Gronk and Brady have hogged most of the glory, but a lot of "lesser lights" moved on with RINGS and pay-raises.

You people: OBJ is a team player.  If the Browns' Coaches don't cost them any games, he'll be cool.

Stefanski seems to have a handle on the "big personalities" so far, and if they don't lose games because of HIM they'll be good.

Kicking nets aside, the FEW times that OBJ ever made waves was over offensive playcalling, and he was RIGHT.

His twitter jargon makes OBJ sound like a dumbass, but he not.  He jusno what up--cooda called up a win onnat himself--is what it is deal wittit.

There's a BRAIN hidden in there!  And Landry/OBJ are NOT selfish mememe divas.

Baker Mayfield is obviously and predictably more socially just than Stefanski, but I am able to separate his talent from his social sheepdom:

Brian Billick (and a bunch of other people including Brooks) expect Mayfield (the Quarterback) to kick major ass in 2020.

Billick mentioned 2018 (Mayfield's record-breaking rookie season) repeatedly, along with Stefanski's scheme, his Offensive Line, and his upgraded weaponry in 2020, along with Mayfield's whole history, and kinda said "why not?"

Brian Billick himself was a Quarterback, and then an offensive coach (until the racist Ozzie Newsome hired him as the Ravens' Head Coach because he was white, and he won a Superbowl because the institutionally racist fix was in)

Anyway, Billick expects Mayfield to do more than Kirk Cousins did in 2019.  I partly want to say "wow", and partly "DUH"!

Bucky Brooks expects the WRs and TEs to catch fewer passes, but to average more yards per-catch.

PFF grades the Browns' 2020 roster as the 6th best in the NFL. I haven't seen if they isolated Offense or meant overall yet, but assuming the latter, that's about right.

Most analyses declaim the Linebacker position (and some want us to trade draft picks and 10 mil for a SS)  oh you people...Jacob Phillips is a STUD Linebacker!!!

Why are you writing him off!?!  Because he needs work in coverage?

Phillips has a great chance to start at LB as a rookie:

He's taller and faster than Takitaki and Wilson, and led his league in tackles while winning a National Championship, and...wtf I need more?  

You people! 20 mil and multiple high draft picks for a strong safety!?!  Derroyeee.

Ok maybe DePoBerry might trade for a 25 year old elite EDGE-Rusher they'd have to pay only a little less than Garrett to nail down, but in the REAL world...

A SAFETY?  NOW?  For the same MONEY and more draft picks...than the EDGE-Rusher--

Read this.  Unlike the greedy egomaniac strong safety, this edge-rusher might be worth 20 mil or so.

Ngakoue is in play for the 2020 Browns, but he's been overhyped, and his projected salary inflated.

Moreover, the JagWIRES (you idiots) have zero leverage with this guy.  Why are we talking about Njoku AND a 2021 2nd round pick for this guy?

You people keep expecting DePoBerry to be as dumb as YOU are...okbye 💩👊
