Andy Reid was the brains behind that operation, not Chilly. He wasn't even allowed to call plays as the O-Coordinator.Commander of Awesome;1067865 wrote:Great hire.

Favre is notorious for calling Chilly "clueless" and the locker room agreed with him which was why he was hated the way he was.
Childress is a step up over Shurmur, but if I saw the stat correctly has only actually called his own plays once in his NFL career. Not like he has a great track record to pull from in that department and it is what the Browns so desperately need.
I am OK with him, but he sure as hell better bring a better attitude than the one he had in Minnesota or his stay won't be long here.
If they sign Flynn there's no fight. It's going to take a big financial commitment, and you don't do that to bring a guy in for a QB competition.OQB;1067640 wrote:I believe the more I think about our QB scenario, the best option this year is to sign Matt Flynn and let him and Colt fight for the job.
I've seen that a lot of people think Ingram is more of a 3-4 OLB than a 4-3 DE. And Coples apparently looks like a really solid run stopping DE, but might not be the greatest pass rusher. I don't know how that fits in with the Browns. The run D was terrible, but we only have 1 guy that can get to the QB too.zach24oz;1067825 wrote:I really liked Ingram too, I think he will be a stud. I dont know much about Couples but heard that people are waiting for him to be a bust bc he has had one good season. But with his size and speed that scouts are seeing, maybe he could be an option?
Not sure is I posted about the interview Coples had on 92.3 yesterday but he said he's very comfortable at LDE and not so much at RDE. The Browns need a RDE. Sheard had to switch to LDE because he wasn't comfortable on the right side.zach24oz;1067825 wrote:http://www.cleveland.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/01/ohio_states_mike_adams_and_oklahoma_state_brandon_weeden_shining.html
Maybe the Browns could be able to get Adams with their late 1st or early 2nd pick...Good to see that he is impressing. I really liked Ingram too, I think he will be a stud.

why are you even a browns fan? You seem to hate everything they do and are negative about it.IggyPride00;1067887 wrote:Andy Reid was the brains behind that operation, not Chilly. He wasn't even allowed to call plays as the O-Coordinator.
