Is the discipline issue Kitchens or Wilks? I know he reports to Freddy but what do you think?

So what do you do when you are an NFL coach and one of your Lineman holds somebody? 

Tell him not to hold the defender? Bench him for holding and put in.... who? The 3rd string DT? 

Or when your LT kicks some one in the face for pushing him in the back over a pile after the whistle was blown? 

Does a good coach tell him “don’t kick people in the face?” 

When you look at a single penalty or two you might have a point. In the context of the most penalties in franchise history it’s a systemic issue. Systemic issues like that to me would trace back to coaching. Let’s see if he can adjust and get back on track.

I observed flashes of greatness followed by bolts of terrifying ineptitude.  Coaching this week will help

I sure hope your right but the “coaching” we had for the last 3 months just shit all over the field. It was an embarrassment to have that much talent on the field ALL shit the bed. 

I believe he’s a savvy enough vet that if his hip were hurting he wouldn’t make it public. 

I wish every team I played was depending on him 😎

A little pre-game posturing perhaps?......Telling the Titans I cant run full speed, then ripping the top off their defense?

He does practice everyday -full speed - so Im not really sweating this one.....

Hopefully its 100% this, that hip thing could linger or god forbid get much worse if resting the entire preseason didnt fix it.

There must be a poltegeist in here somewhere, because there is already a thread started with this exact same thing.

There are plenty of adequate pharma solutions in the locker room.

There’s another site I read on that uses a link to Rumbletalk for game time chat room.

God I wish. You can tell that it absolutely KILLS him to see our team have a QB and not be on the field. I literally had tears in my eyes when he went down. But no, Joe can't come back. He can't gain 40 pounds of muscle/bulk. I wish he could! 

I am going to venture a guess he could gain it the same way he did years ago

A few weeks ago, I felt most were making the mistake of overlooking the Titans, whether that be from fans, players or the media.

Let us not forget that TN has had 3 winning seasons in a row. When were the Browns last winning season? 2007. When was the last time the Browns had a 3-year consecutive winning period? 1986-1989. Yes, it's been that long. 

But you say, that is irrelevant, it only matter which team is better now. You'd be correct, but a little historical trends is worth considering. 

 

So, the here and now, how they match up. Firstly, most important, QBs. 

Mariota. Although he threw for a career high 68% last year, his TD to int ratio was 11-8. That's paltry. Yea, he can run, he's athletic and all that. But I just don't think he's that good.  He would have done more by now if he was. 

Baker. In just his rookie year, he showed he's already infinitely better than Mariota. 27 TDs to 14 ints. And he didn't even start the season (real genius, Hue). Bakes is clearly the better player. AGREE 

 

RB

I thought Henry was out but he's not on the injury report. With him, TN has the edge, without, Browns do. DISAGREE - Chubb is every bit as good or better than  Henry

WR

No contest, Browns. TN has not been able to find any play makers at WR to save their lives. AGREE

OL

Even with their pro bowl LT out, TN is better here.  - Ill give you a possible edge with TN

TE - push - AGREE

DL - Browns, even though TN has some nice DLmen.  Browns and its not even close. This D line is going to feast like its Thanksgiving Day against the Tits

LBs - TN - AGREE 

CBs - push - The top one on each team offset and then we dominate the rest

S - TN - maybe so

Coaching. TN. Hard to give nod to Cleveland here with a head coach who has never once coached as a HC ever in his career on any level. Vrabel will prove to be the real deal,  having spent time in Pitt and NE. Vrabel has never been a head coach either. I may be a homer but when evaluating the overall staff I think its Browns all the way. 

Summary - All things considered, Browns have Baker and TN has subpar QB, and missing their LT, Mariota is gonna be running for his life. I feel for those reasons, Browns do win this, maybe easily. - 

24-16

31-10

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good thread, my thoughts in red above

Lol I guess so. Glad the leagues are filled and ready to roll. League V draft smooth as butter. 8PM for the points league. 

Points League is filled and locked down with 9 teams. Uneven is fine in a pointsleague

League V I persuaded my wife to join to give us the 8th team. Tour if you join by draft time she will happily let me boot her. 

Drafts will go off as scheduled tomorrow

  Bump

we have 8 teams in both leagues? correct Jcam?

As of 2am last night Points league filled. Still going to have to draft tomorrow now. League V will be filled once Tour checks his messages I hope. He asked me to invite him 

need you in league v today so we can draft tomorrow. Points league is filled. 

I still have my suspicions that this trade allow them to move a WR in another trade 

Texans mortgaged their future for a LT yet I don’t think are that good a team. 

Draft times on both leagues moving to Monday. Sorry all but neither is filled to draft. I know it’s Labor Day but I can’t do Tuesday as I’m driving all day to Nashville. 

I still think this thread shows we might as well have a good forum  I’d be in for it. 

Very classy

Have no idea if he would even be remotely available but I really like what that kid Chris Godwin from TB has shown the two times I’ve seen him play against us. 

Wishful thinking. 

He’s going to see the ball a ton in TB this year. Coach said he will never leave the field on offense 

Very surprised they couldn’t get anything back from Colquitt.

Shady McCoy released by Bills.

Gas in tank?

Heard some NFL Sirius guys discussing saying he basically looked worn out with no explosiveness last year.
