Zombo Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 The team plays hard for him. He shows a lot of passion. He lets the offense do their thing agressively. Defense is 4-1 with Junior calling the plays. Give him the job this week and lock up Kitchens too? I think the players would love it. No new systems, and going into the offseason with no turnover or turmoil for a change. Time to think about it .. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I just need an explanation as why to not take the 3... the hardcount was a good idea too, so why call timeout before the hardcount? Then a run on 4th and 1... yuck We got lucky to win last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I was all in for the 4th down call. I would try a QB Sneak or something else than what they did, anyway... Or I would have tried to draw them offsides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Williams is very fortunate his defense bailed him out last night. You kick the field goal and make them drive the length of the field to score a TD to win the game, with no timeouts. What the hell he was doing calling timeout while Mayfield was trying to draw the Broncos offsides is beyond me. Especially when it appeared the Browns defensive strategy all night was to allow the Broncos to dink and dunk their way downfield and trade field goals for touchdowns. I know I had next to no confidence the defense was going to keep them from kicking a game-winning field goal, and if everyone was honest, I bet the overwhelming majority of posters on here didn't either. But a win covers a lot of sins. On to the Bengals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same people that wanted to keep Hue as HC and Tyrod as QB. At this point in my life, you learn to relish the wins and put all of the misery behind you.

So if they see that a player actually got a half yard further than where they marked it they can't move it that half yard unless that half yard results in a first down or a touchdown. Just another silly rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'd bet on letting this thing play out 2 more games. 2 good test ahead and Marvin Lewis now has gametape on Freddie/Baker. Who wins making adjustments?.Certainly not our money & we have paid several exiting head coaches. But am leaning towards a 2 year deal with a opt out after 1 with G. Williams would be a opener to a Xmas bonus. Coaches are paid for winning NFL games. Am no Dorsey, but I don't seeing a better 4-2 coach that has had these players backs since GW got here. I see nothing Freddie can't do with Arians. Only that we may lose Williams all together. College coach? pass..A Lincoln Riley would really need a D guy like GW. GW maynot need Riley either. Am a toss up at Williams vs. McCarthy..Maybe Freddie would stay taking Sampesee's QB coaching job? Freddie is a real asset to Baker playing QB at Bama..Now am just tossing a cluster of jumbo off the top of my head for now..but whoops..there it is..Let's say we do kick the FG ..how much do we trust our KO ST unit to keep that kick returner inside our own 20? Luck? have we seen any in 20 years? Luck was we kept McManass beyond 65 yards from the crossbars..not many coaches aren't 2nd guessed by Monday..but hey, what a win..

Clevfan4life Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Go back and watch the end of the game, that TO was called with 19 seconds left on the play clock. U sent ur qb out to hard count, see if u can get em to jump...then maybe call TO to take the field goal. So u wait for that play clock. That was a move u guys would have utrerly roasted Hue for.....utterly. Hue would have had to go into witness protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I was OK with them going for the win, just hated the play call - especially against that defense....

Clevfan4life Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 It feels like Williams is more subdued now as HC. I liked him better as the DC when he could yell at his players off camera while the offense was out there. Just maybe not his gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineDawg Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Northeast Browns fan here... If Dorsey doesn't want to sign Williams to be HC, I've seen a decent compromise floating around. Bring Arians in. Kitchens as OC, Williams as DC. Let Arians fully groom Kitchens for a couple seasons, let Williams loose with the D. I'm on board with that. I'm also on board with signing Williams as HC. Yeah, he hasn't always been that great, and the whole Bountygate thing. But the team is willing to run through a wall for him, it seems. How can you not roll with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo We trusted out kicker to kick a 40 yarder though. I'm all in favor of being aggressive. But with a one point lead. (that's ONE measly point)....and what would be called an EASY FG staring you in the face...it's dumb to not kick the FG. That's my opinion. Did we win? Yes. But not because of THAT decision that's for sure. And game day decisions go into the thinking of a John Dorsey when he's trying to decide on who his coach will be. (among many other things of course) Do I like what Williams has done with the team since he's been in charge? Absolutely. But I want to see smart game day coaching out of my HC....and I want to see it all through the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it in the #1 overall franchise QB's hands and let the kid grow up even more. I would have preferred to kick it but I don't have a problem going for it and I certainly don't have a problem with the play call. I wouldn't have had a problem if we passed it either. However to say it was a bad play call, well I disagree with that sentiment. Sure they knew we were going to be running the ball but they knew we were going to be running the ball that whole series and we still gashed them. And that play would have worked also had we executed on the blocks but we didn't so it failed. The defense came out and won the game and the rest is history. Edit one last thing, the Broncos pass rush on the line is way better than the run-stopping ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
