Tell me again why Browns Stadium shouldn't have roof
BrownsKidd replied to Orion's topic in THE BROWNS BOARD
When Haslam bought the team, I remember that being one of the first things he looked at doing, and after a few consultations, the answer was no. Time for a dome in CLE. As for the previous statement too about Cooper slipping and dropping the pass in the EZ? I read that the stadium has a boiler system with 40 miles on conduit to prevent the field from freezing. Was it just that cold that the heating system couldn't keep up, or was the heating system not on at all. Also, wait for a few players or teams to start bitching about the potential injuries when playing in inclement weather and some type of initiative that will force Teams to have "equal" playing fields across the league and forcing owners/cities to have domes. Less cold induced injuries. Fair and equal kicking games, etc., Not that I agree with it, but that's the trend we have in our society today. -
The ..... 🏈 Official Browns at Ravens Game Thread Oct 23 🏈
BrownsKidd replied to Dutch Oven's topic in THE BROWNS BOARD
I can see why Koramoah went left and inside... But doesn't JJ3 (43) have enough sense to fill that hole opening to his right? There was no where to go on the left side?? -
Depodesta finally got his coach but results are the same
BrownsKidd replied to MDDawg's topic in THE BROWNS BOARD
First, my post had more than just what you're quoting, so perhaps the person "upvoting" liked the portion of my post that you chose not quote. Who upvotes is really irrelevant. It's not like everyone has to vote on every post to decide if they agree or not. There could be many more that agree and like myself rarely upvote. In the end, what you believe and feel is all that matters, not some online forum mechanism that is suppose to help you feel better about a posted opinion. Zeppe went what 24/34. Decent game. He was only sacked twice and only 2 QB hits, in 4 quarters, against this defense that was suppose to be top in the league. Whether it be blitzs, better pressure from front 4, the poor execution of blitzs, schemes, poor tackling, poor coverage, all of it. It stinks. I will be the first to admit that if you're seeing blitz and I'm not, perhaps it's because it look like how a blitz should look because we suck at that too. We got picked apart by a rookie QB. Most other teams would have welcomed him to the league in a lot worse fashion. -

Don't disagree to a point. JB had an open throw yesterday, very little pressure at the time. Under threw the ball and it was picked. Last week. had an opportunity to run for a potential first down in the red zone, JB threw a pick instead. There have been additional instances when he should run verses throw. Yesterday, JB's pocket presence was poor. JB can run, but is slow. Dobbs IMO, gives us a more Watson-esq type of offense. And I agree with you wholeheartedly that our defense has been shit. Blown coverages, despite being 12th (as of yesterday) on 3rd down conversions, it does seem like it's a lot worse. We had one sack yesterday, one? We should be expecting more out of Garret. Why aren't we pressuring more and showing more blitz packages, is that personnel, or is that Joe Woods? -

This is what every team is doing to us. We can point fingers at the front office, Stefanski, Depo, etc., but right now, teams know how to beat us. Heard a suprising stat last week on the The Fan from the browns beat reporter (forget the name). He was speaking to the run game, and at times what is the perceived perception of not running enough. First stat he presented was that if you remove running QBs, the browns were number one in run attempts in the league. The second stat was that in the last two years, teams that averaged 12 yards per catch were 32-1. The point, the run game and the passing game both have to be good. The glaring omission in this thread is that Jacoby is a career back up, when faced with a definitive decision, can't make them consistent enough nor has the skill set to get us where we need to be. If our record was what it is right now with Deshaun, I think this topic is justified. But with JB on the helm, we are just getting by. The one issue I have is that I think we should look to Dobbs. IMO, he made plays during preseason and can move his feat and gets out of pressure. If we want any chance of playoffs, it's time to move on from Jacoby and give the damn ball to Josh Dobbs. -
Execution. Analytics can't fix that. Coaches try and the players have to make the effort to improve. Tackling is a talent that can be learned and improved. If guys are constantly missing those tackles, move on.
-
True, but the analytics don't tell JB to throw the INT instead of runnin g for an apparent first down. Analytics are their to suggest, and have some merit. The other side of the coin is execution, and that's been the hardest part for this team and season, especially on D.

BrownsKidd replied to Zombo's topic in THE BROWNS BOARD
I can't be the only thinking that Dobbs is the better choice of Brisket.... right? Jesus Christ, Brisket couldn't out run the Panther's nose tackle. -
This, this, and this. It was always plausible that Baker was on the chopping block. He is not Stefanski's guy. Yes, Berry was in the room when drafted, but I'm not sure how much say he had in the decision since it wasn't his ultimate call. Then 2020 came, we made the playoffs. Baker had a stellar 2nd half. No contract extension. That was the biggest red flag. IMO, that is probably what started the riff between Baker and the FO (as MKC has reported various times). As fans, we should have seen the writing on the wall that Baker was not this FO's man... anymore. Let's not be surprised by this. Eric Metcalf tweeted yesterday that a FO, if they are not looking to upgrade every position, all the time, they are not doing their job. He also stated that the Browns always tried to replace him, yet he always gave them a reason not too. He competed and won his spot. And now Baker must do the same. He's also facing a contract year. So if he remains with the Browns, he is going to have to force this FO or another team to want him. If he plays like shit again, especially without injury, this FO was making the right call.

Per the CDC over 10K died due to drunk driving in 2016. That's 25% of gun related deaths. So, what number of deaths have to occur before we have a "problem"? People still die because of those issues, whether they directly or indirectly affect you or others, people still die. My point, is 40K died due to gun deaths. Over 600K due to alcohol, tobacco, or drugs (and yes, most of those don't directly affect or kill others), but the point is that why don't those 600K deaths matter as much as gun related deaths? Because it's political. Isn't a preventable death, regardless of the cause, tragic? When politicians figure that they can divide and gather votes by pushing those vices i've mentioned, they will come for them. Maybe not in our lifetime, but they will.
-
And the point being, despite all the laws we have, there are still 500K more deaths related to drinking, tobacco and drugs. And to state that those deaths only impact the person who dies of alcoholism or lung cancer or an overdose is not correct either. Family and friends are deeply impacted by those deaths as well. The point that is slipping by some of you is that the narrative that is being put in front of us by politicians and our MSM make it appear that this country has some overwhelming gun problem. That is not the case and is shown by the numbers. If you really care about the deaths of others, then the cause shouldn't matter. If we should ban or even legislate gun ownership even further, then we should do the same with alcohol and tobacco. A death is a death, even if it is self inflicted like alcohol and tobacco CAN be. Stop being manipulated by politicians and the MSM. Do some damn research and form an intelligent opinion based on some damn facts rather than what your political party chooses to espouse. Just wait though. One day, politicians will make alcohol and tobacco a political issue (in some ways, it already is with sin taxes) and some will want to ban (again) those items. And when the politicians come for it (so they can get votes) let's see how you like that big ol' gov't then.
-
Nope. Drunk drivers kill. Second hand smoke is harmful and can lead to death. Associated deaths due to drugs and the drug empire kill. But you're missing my point. How many deaths does it take then for those deaths to be a concern?
-
Some perspective. Some say we have a gun problem. Maybe. In 2019, 40K deaths related to guns in the US. That's all types of deaths, homicide, accidents, police, etc., In the same year over 600K deaths related to Alcohol, tobacco, and drug use. In this country we like to label situations and occurrences before we understand the true context. Why are the deaths of 40K more important than the 600K related to alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. Why aren't we fighting to restrict, legislate, or criminalize those concerns. Also, those numbers are straight from the CDC.
