Looking 4-1 down the barrel https://dawgpounddaily.com/2020/10/06/5-bold-predictions-cleveland-browns-week-5/ What is considered a "Turkey" for a DL? QB sack/strip/return for TD.....or something else? (Or, like a Turkey in Bowling....which is 3 strikes in a row....is it 3 sacks on the day?) Jacob Phillips stepping up would really be a breath of fresh air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 OK, so, you can't fix everything in one year. But I will give it to Berry that he made some attempts at helping/fixing the defensive back 7. Drafted Delpit and Phillips. Injury to Delpit unfortunate. Picked up Goodson. Still, I thought/think there were some moves that could have been made for a veteran LB that have been left on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 It was years ago but NEVER forget...The Colts kept the 10-6 Browns out of the playoffs by starting Jim Sorgi and completely looking like dog poo during that game. I went to Gabriel’s and bought a oddly fitting Colts shirt and wore a dang Colts shirt that day The Colts suffered - they were clearly rusty two weeks later and got ousted early from the playoffs but they kept the Browns out of the playoffs.

The LBs generally are very green and the secondary is perpetually an injury mess. The upside is that this schedule, that looked kind of tough I suppose going into the season, now looks weak beyond a handful of games. they won't....they have miles garrett and an occasional qb pressure from 1 of the dl....the secondary can't catch a cold .....what happened to vernon....what a bust.....we need alot of d.......they are not very solid at all.....

mjp28 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I look for another good weekend for the AFCN including outmatched Cincinnati an interesting game at Baltimore. Pittsburgh should handle Philadelphia at home and our BROWNS can beat Indy at home at 4:25. GO BROWNS, 4-1 really ? Oh yeah.....baby !

I think the LBs will get better as the season progresses. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 A "turkey" for Myles would be 3 sacks. Phillips interests me as well. He's the LB from LSU I liked most, so let's see. He's a "blue collar" player. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I find this game as watching our "big brother team"... Both teams have drafted well, while using their leading cap numbers wisely on FA's.. Jim Irsay fires GM Ryan Grigson after a 4-12 season and took the path of hiring Chris Ballard in late 2016.. After Ballard get's punk'd by J.McDaniels.. He hires Frank Reich Feb.2018.. Turn the page.. ( and I'm not trying to kick a dead 🦄) John Dorsey gets hired Dec 7th 2017.. Told by Haslam, to observe a 0-16 crazy train.. In fact..Dorsey could* have hired Frank Reich? And at least the coaching staff could have been settled? Though were now 2 years behind on good coaching? Things may have worked out better with the Kev Stefanski hiring🤔.. just a real s t r e c h of the facts that are there.. a.) Ballard/Reich took over a team coming off a 4-12 2017 season.. Colts finished 10-6 after hiring Reich in 2018.(were on that pace) Draft Q.Nelson & D.Leonard in 2018.Both become AP 1st team All Pro's.. b) Dorsey was brought in with a few games left in 2017.. Takes the fast track with good Drafting in 2018 & 2019.. Adds Landry/OBJ/Hunt/S.Richardson/Vernon... Sure, JD dies with his own coaching blood on his hands in 2019.. But what 'if' the 2018 coaching choices were left up to JD in 2o18 🤔... Oh! never/mind that! And here we are... Walking into a game of two re-built teams a year apart in Talent* for Sunday.... The Difference has always been the COACHING of good Talent!! Now & Only Now, I have the feeling we have the right coaching staff that only lacks the team bonding & experience of Frank Reich by 2 years & No off-season Camps to prepare.. It's Cody Parkey's perfect season... We win this Game on the leg of a Parkey FG... (the curse of poking the bears) Go Browns !! Winnie only left the 'r' out in Irsay..book it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if this thread is going to go to the birds, may as well go all the way. As many of you may know my son is at Cornell. Cornell also happens to be the leading (world? USA) ornithilogical university. My son has taken on birding (don't call it birdwatching) as a hobby and has taken a course or two in it (it is wholly outside his field of study, which is Biochemistry) and I have gotten into it...but just a little bit. He actually did see a Snowy owl up near Ithaca. It is fairly rare to see them in the US. They mostly hang in Canada. Pileated woodpeckers are all around. 5 Keel Billed Toucan? I am pretty sure you would need to go to Central America or South America for those. I have seen Condors at the Grand Canyon. Though I cannot say I have seen "wild peacocks". HOwever, for species counting, if a peacock is roaming the grounds free, and is not pent up, you can count the observation of them for your personal species count. Here are important websites for your birding...each a Cornell originated site: https://ebird.org/home https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO how about a peek at the AFCN games next week, all at 1 pm right now. From our friends at vegasinsider.com https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/ CLE only +4 in PIT ?

jiggins7919 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm calling the pick 6 this week. I feel it. Phil will destroy us over the middle but we'll get him on a weakly thrown out pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
