posted by Ironman92What are your guy’s expectations for next week @Houston?
BM and Watson are fairly similar to me. Texans have elite receiver.
Browns have good confidence going...and Mayfield seems pretty responsible for that
Time for the Texans to come down to earth. Worst oline in the game, I expect Myles to dominant. Also, time for DW's shitty accuracy to come into play and throw a few INTs. Browns get the W
To IM's point, agreed. Texans have played a who's who of the worst teams.
posted by Ironman92Checking out Watson’s game stats I just realized how meh the Texans schedule has been during this win streak. They've not been dominant but have been constant winners.
Opponents win % is .429 which is the easiest in the league. Believe they've faced 2 teams with winning records.
posted by Ironman92They seem to be over the “we’re teh Brownz” hump. Way more confident that they can finish games, but those have mostly been home games. They are 1-4 on the road. That’s gotta be one of their next steps.
Once they get a lead, running out the clock is their biggest issue. The O-Line has been playing well but they aren't good enough to just punch the opponent in the mouth for 2-3 straight plays and pick up that first down that allows them to run out the clock. Always have to punt it away and hope the other team doesn't score.
Texans really don't impress me that much. Not saying the Browns will beat them but they play in arguably the crappiest division in the AFC (neck & neck with the AFC East, minus the Pats). They will get in the playoffs but will be a one & done team.
So it sounds like these "leaks" (Condi Rice HC interview, Rueben Foster signing) to Schefter were designed to sniff out a mole. I don't have the name but it sounds like someone in Berea got fired today.

Where do you see this?
One thing I don’t like, is how we sent Carl Nassib packing. Feels like every week I see his name on highest ranked DE lists. Think Dorsey missed on that one.

I agree. I'm prob being a homer, but I'll throw out Meder as well. Conley has been fairly disappointing this yr IMO and terrible against the run according to PFF. Meder wasn't a world beater, but I think he could be better than that. End of the day, Meder is a bottom of the roster guy, but I loved his motor and story.
Wasn’t Nassib more of a cap hit? As in, DE was a position of strength and they couldn’t afford to keep guys? I never got the feeling Dorsey thought he wasn’t talented, but more DE was pretty loaded and he was fighting it out with decent other guys.

Not a cap hit as we have like $10000000B in cap space. DE is not a strength, we have Myles and Ogbah and no one else. I mean Chris Smith, Zettle, and Chad fucking Thomas. EWW

He is still on his rookie contract, so I don't think it was a cap hit. Their starting d-line has been taking a lot of snaps. They could have easily used the depth.

And to add to that, not just depth. But he’d be one of the best players on our D line this year. He’s playing like one of the best D-lineman in the NFL. On a rookie contract!

Anybody have PFF? I wouldn't mind seeing his overall grade this season.

They’re the ones who keep tweeting things I’m seeing about him being rated so high. Had over a 90 grade in Sunday’s game.
But but but, we should have taken Chubb!!

I thought Denzel was a reach at 4. So far I am happy to say I was wrong. Also wasn't on board with Baker #1, also so far happy to say I am wrong lol.

Lol I was mad about Baker. Loved the ward pick tho. Maybe that was me being an osu homer, but I’m so sick of the browns passing on good osu players.
Just a really good top of the draft for the Browns. Mayfield seems to be changing the entire team’s attitude along with his really good play and Ward is really really good. Not sure you could want more out of a rookie CB
