Wasn't expecting a win this week but no bright spots except Njoku and Hunt today. Special teams is a disaster, Linebackers and secondary exposed, OBJ will be traded and Baker hasn't shown much progress.

I'll go first with 10-6 @Baltimore-L Cincinnati-W Redskins-W @Dallas-L Colts-W @Pittsburgh-L @Cinci-W LV Raiders-W Houston Texans -L Philadelphia Eagles -L Jacksonville-W @ Tennessee Titans -L Baltimore Ravens -W @NYG-W @NYJ-W Pittsburgh-W

Late to the party on this but an article I read claims a similar incident happened with another chick in Dec 2018. High risk behavior because he could be arrested for an indecent act in a public space. Doing this a month after getting married is pretty duplicitous though, I suspect he'll lose some endorsements and Browns management will have a talk with him. He'll have to prove his value on the field this year as he's accumulating negative pub.

Baker was making the interview rounds today sort of apologizing for being such a jackass last season. Let's hope this is part of his maturation into a better leader and topflight QB.

Marijuana stays in your system for 30 days if the NFL tested him now based on the video, he'd most likely test positive and enter the drug program if he's not already there.

It's worse than we thought TMZ has video of the pullover where he admits he'd fail a drug test to the officer. NFL's definitely going to be involved now. https://twitter.com/TMZ/status/1221870122387664901?s=20

Great thread, my only preseason prediction was w-l of 10-6 which makes me one of the losers.

It’s only lateral if the OC isn’t calling plays which maybe the case here.

Off topic but I just watched this and after thinking about Myles punishment couldn't help but lol at this generated meme. https://twitter.com/JustChukii/status/1217546984329900033?s=20

Stefanski was continuously promoted in Minnesota while Freddie was demoted from QB to RB coach by Arians which is why he left to join the Browns.

Stefanski: "Personality is welcome, your production is required." No more excuses Baker and OBJ there's a new sheriff in town.

Mod, close this thread. Opening presser's been concluded we're now in the Stefanski era for better or worse. Go Browns!

Dustin Fox was also ecstatic about Hue's hiring. Nobody knows how this will pan out.

The search is over, Kevin Stefanski's our head coach. Going to support him fully until he proves otherwise ( which in the case of Freddie was after the home opener). He can incorporate analytics, meet the owner every Monday (Modell used to do this) as long as he wins. Will stream his opening press conference as I have for every other coach in the last 10 yrs.Go Browns!!

No one knows how this is going to turn out, as I said on this board before Hue's hire was popular and not many people opposed Kitchens. In fact the only hire that lived up to it's hype was Butch Davis so let's see how this plays out.

Apparently to pick up Demetrius Harris to prove a point against Andy Reid as he drafted him but didn't appreciate Andy Reid's opinion or use of him.

Saleh's grown on me, looks like a leader of men and I read he's very detail oriented and easily adapts to technology. I expect he wouldn't oppose analytics which maybe another reason why he's a finalist. Defensive coach but some defensive coaches have spearheaded some of the greatest offensive teams like Tony Dungy in Indy and Rivera had fairly good offenses when in Carolina. Edit: Hawkins on the ThomaHawk podcast also stated he's not an egomaniac/a**hole which also fits into Jimmy's alignment philosophy.

Browns requesting to interview Berry and Dodds for GM which by inference means Stefanski, Saleh and Schwartz are the propable finalists for HC.

The fact that McDaniel's hire wasn't announced today, makes it unlikely that he's Haslam's choice. Your wife accompanies you if you're expecting an offer. Let's watch the Browns coaching bowl tomorrow aka 49ers v Vikings.

PTI had an interesting segment with Tony Dungy ( 1/10/20) who said he receives calls from (clueless) owners all the time requesting advice on their next coach. He'll ask them what type of coach are they looking for young, old, disciplinarian etc and the reply: "just a good one". His point is that only a few teams are football business teams that have a vision of their coach, for others (like us) it's just the latest trend (Kitchens) until they stumble onto one. Hate them but the Steelers and Ravens are two examples of teams with an overall vision.

I'm lukewarm on him too, if he's hired let's hope he's learnt enough since his last stint as HC to make us a winner.

And that's why they probably scheduled him with the first interview.

I read about a CFL coach yesterday. "They reached out" but apparently hasn't been offered an interview.

Eric Bienimy and an unnamed CFL coach

Have you seen him talk to Tom Brady? I'm not worried about that, only thing I'm worried about is spygate lingering around that organization and if he can coach independently of that.
