Browns offense is loaded

CHA_CHING · 04-19-2019, 12:43 PM

This is Cleveland's schedule -

Titans
At Jets (Monday Night)
Rams (Sunday Night)
At Ravens
At 49ers (Monday Night)
Seattle
BYE
At New England (3 PM)
At Denver (3 PM)
Bills
Steelers (Thursday Night)
Dolphins
At Steelers (3 PM)
Bengals
At Cardinals (3 PM)
Ravens
At Bengals

Interesting to see that Cleveland managed to get a Sunday night game this year. It's been over 10 years since they last played on SNF. I highlighted the 3 PM games cause those are prim etime slots.

Looks like the Browns really are getting the hype and people believe in them, as evidence from the SNF slot and their many prime time games.

Hard to really make any predictions on the schedule yet, but it does look like 10-6 is possible.

I'm a believer. I guess we'll see. Excited to see them though.

It seems like every year there are a few teams that are "loaded on paper" that don't do squat. You cannot quantify chemistry, and that as we all know plays a major role. So, I guess we'll see.

That said, I'm glad they aren't on our schedule this year!

Here’s one of the most important additions they’ve made that doesn’t get recognition: OC Todd Monken. Tampa had the #3 ranked offense in the league last year (and #1 in passing yards) despite constant flip-flopping of QB’s. They are going to light it up.

The Browns office is loaded? Have they been smoking pot?

Hunt is suspended for a while then, so many egos. Never a good situation when everyone is trying to be a superstar. Chubb is ok. He has one good move, up the right side and that's about it. It will be about the same or worse. They are good on paper but no telling when egos blow up which they will.

Disagree on the Chubb analysis, even when teams knew what the Browns wanted to do, Chubb was still gashing behind those great running lanes opened by Zeitler...

But you're prophetic on just how fragile that locker room will be with all those fragile egos and no Joe Thomas to pump the brakes; Kitchens will earn his check...

They don't go get Hunt if they thought Chubb was the total package. Chubb wasn't the starter until close to the halfway point. Browns are trying to re-create the Chiefs. I still say too many egos. I like Chubb, good RB but it's hard to win without a great pass catching back which he is not other than one flashy catch. He'll be used mainly as a GL stuffer and spelling Hunt when he returns whenever that happens.

Contraire, mon frère, this is a copy-cat league and the Saints have shown the perfect blue-print of what an offense can do with a two-man dynamic running back offense...

To rotate uber athletes like Chubb & Hunt every three snaps on a drive while defenses stay out on the field, fatiguing because of a lack of depth few teams in the salary cap age can assemble - that is huge...

I think new Browns HC Freddie Kitchens stated it best ...

"We’re better on paper than we were last year,” Kitchens said, via Albert Breer of SI.com. “That doesn’t mean anything other than, we’re better on paper".

Time will tell though.
