Seems like a nice problem to have, huh? Hopefully they're not all from Brian Daboll or Pat Shurmur.like_that;1775527 wrote:Didn't watch. What is the quote in reference to?

This. Run defense is important sure. But I'd rather have zero run defense, ZERO, then watch another game where we send out some yuppy at Qb and end the game with 3 field goals.SportsAndLady;1775494 wrote:No.
We just don't have a hard-on like you do.
A good QB/offense is more important.

There's enough film of him in the NFL and its pretty clear he's borderline the worst QB in the league. There's only interest because some delusional morons think he will magically become a franchise QB after he fixes his life outside of football.

Browns HC Hue Jackson targeting Tennessee's Ray Horton as his DC, but uncertain whether Titans will grant permission to leave, per source.
What do you guys recall about Horton's last stint as Browns DC?

I recall him giving up many 3rd and long situations, because that's when he thought it would be a good idea to blitz the whole team.

Ahh, gotcha and I'm assuming what COA said was sarcasm because compared to what we had to watch this year, I'd take a Horton-lead 9th ranked defense over that display of shit we saw from O'Neill's group.like_that;1775658 wrote:He was upset yesterday because I said I don't get the Hue Jackson hype.

Just because he's an improvement over Oneil doesn't make him good. He wasn't good in Cleveland bottom line. Not sure why we'd go back to that well. Yeah top 10 in def yds, but bottom of the league in pts allowed. How many games did he piss away back in 2013? Quite a few.BR1986FB;1775663 wrote:Ahh, gotcha and I'm assuming what COA said was sarcasm because compared to what we had to watch this year, I'd take a Horton-lead 9th ranked defense over that display of shit we saw from O'Neill's group.

After looking at Horton's stats as the DC with Tennessee this year, I'd have to agree, 12th ranked but giving up almost 27 ppg.....not goodCommander of Awesome;1775667 wrote:Just because he's an improvement over Oneil doesn't make him good.

The St. Louis Rams are interested in Manziel. Maybe he'll start his own franchise...

Source tells http://cleveland.com that Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is a candidate to become #Browns DC under Jackson
SMH
Bucs finished 10th overall in total defense (nearly 30 YPG improvement over 2014), but 26th in PPG. Nah, I'm good on that.

Thank god it sounds like they finally hired someone who gets it....Jackson was being interviewed by the local station and they asked him about the offense. He mentioned needing a "bell cow" RB and a "big WR who can take the top off a defense."

I wonder how he feels about Gordon. Also, I hope he isn't dumb enough to take a RB in the first two rounds.BR1986FB;1775721 wrote:Thank god it sounds like they finally hired someone who gets it....Jackson was being interviewed by the local station and they asked him about the offense.
