I would too... against the Bears.  Beyond that? Play with fire at your own risk. 

Yeah, I go week to week for defenses. We are 8 friends in my FFL.

 Ultimately this is a grudge you hold because of the Baker situation. 

 I understand your mind can never be changed until it's too late. I accept that's who you are and it is what it is. 

 

Two things. 

First. 

- I could dive into the complexity of Stef stealing motions from the Ravens, a lot like what McVay L.A. did, and incorporated that into the pin and pull scheme along with a fake read element that would blow your mind.     So this "Stef doesnt adapt" is your feeling more-so than a reality. Had the Browns won yesterday, you wouldn't have been present today let alone saying something like that.  Again, it's who you are and it's a short coming I have to deal with should I feel the desire to uncover your posts (like I did now) 

Just know, that you're demonstrably incorrect. 

 

Second 

- The Pats defense isn't "back".  They've hit a great stretch of matchups against bad offensive play and personnel that has given the impression of a return to greatness. They still lack a dominant interior player for their base 2 gaps, their corners are beatable and as we saw with your boy Dugger, when he's forced into matchups on the perimeter, he is a liability.  

I'm waiting for the right time to "buy high " when the Pats become too overvauled gambling wise when Vegas goes to capitalize on betting lines based of that articles narrative.  People will read that, believe it and wager it at the wrong time - probably against Buffalo. 

 Let people believe the days of Wilfork and Seymour are back. Good way to make money. 

 

Shit, Tia. I just put a waiver on the Pats defense vs the Bears...

In case anyone felt like the Browns didn't blitz enough, or that Joe Woods is too timid in his calls to bring pressure.

 

These are ALL of the pass attempts, into the 1st drive from the Patriots of the 2nd half.  

 

Pats

100 

-     5th man, 3 deep 3 under.  *

-     5th man, 3 deep 3 under   * 

-     5th man, cover 1          * 

-     4 man,  quarters          X  (pressure by Myles)

-     4 man,  Cover 1 Rat       X

 
 5 passes, 3 pressures.  60% blitz rate

 Pretty obvious they started targeting Hunter Henry when they saw all the single coverage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

200 

-    5th man, cover 1   *

-    4 man,   cover 6   X

-    4 man, cover 3   X   blown assignment switch by Taki and the Nickel on who was taking strong hook.   Myles, forced fumble.

3 passes, 1 pressure,  33.3333% blitz rate. 

One forced fumble by Myles without additional blitz*

---------------------------------------------------------------------

300

-   5th man, 3 deep 3 under  * 

-   5th man, cover 1         * 

-   5th man, 3 deep 3 under  *   (shouldn't count, because it was an end around, but Woods attacked expecting early down play action)

-   6th man, cover 1   * 

-   3 man, bluffed 5, backed out to cover 4  X   (Trying to get Zappe to see ghosts, actually went to his outlet receiver and overthrew an easy completion)

5 passes, 4 pressures.  80% blitz rate.    Adjustments incoming, running game taking body shots at IDL.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

400 

-   5th man, cover 1. *  Blown assignment by Phillips and Delpit.  BAD communication between them.  Just lacking football I.Q. and Delpit surrenders easy pass.  

-   5th man, cover 1  *  Strong play action, double move on Emerson.  Bottled up the pressure.

-   4th man, cover 1  X 

-   4th man, match 3  X 

   Early adjustments from Patriots.  More early down ball action off max pro, bottling up the blitzes and mixing in the quick passing game.

-   4th man, cover 2  X   pats with a misdirection and a tunnel screen to the Z receiver.

-   5th man, cover 3 *  boundary lock.  

-   4th man, cover 1 rat X   Zappe doing a good job reading body langauge and depth trying to get a handle on who is dropping from 2 high. Getting some great coaching.

-   6th man, Cover 1  *   Alex Wright on a 'Peel' vs RB    TD pats breaking it to 2nd level.  

8 Passes, 4 pressure.  50% blitz rate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

500  Run.  Kneel.

600 -  First drive of 2nd half.

-  6th man, green dog from Taki *   JoK fucks up his assignment against a YY look. 

    Pats inside running game starting to wear down the IDL

-  5th man, cover 1 *   Double under Y 7 to Hunter Henry.  Gameplan to attack man coverage, to attack the safeties and LB's is becoming VERY clear now.

-  5th man, cover 1 *   GREAT patience by Emerson, have to watch those hands though.

- 6th man, cover 0 *    Greedy beaten in man coverage.  TD pats.

Pats interior Oline has absolutely abused the Browns IDL on the ground and in pass pro.  There is zero interior pocket collapse.
Zappe has WAY too much room to reset and step up to find receivers.  Myles has collected several pressures, forcing Bailey to climb vertically.
Nobody is home to capitalize on the work Myles has put in.

4 passes, 4 pressures.  100% blitz rate.
 

 

 

 

That's 25 pass attempts.

Of those 25 attempts, Woods sent 5 or more on a pressure 16 times.

That's a blitz rate of 64% 

 

The NFL average blitz rate from all of 2021 was  23.7%.    Nearly 3 times last years league average.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me get this straight. 

That means we focused on improving the secondary, while our Dline has Garrett and other 3 players. We don't get pressure because if they double Garrett, no one can seize the opportunity, so we send blitzes 60% of the time. So then, our shiny secondary has to play more single coverages since they have one or two players less to cover, and they get beaten badly and make a backup QB look like Montana. 

Am I reading this correctly? 

I was watching theBrowns game with no sound on my main monitor while I was alternating between writing some notes for a song and watching the Redzone in the second monitor, with the guitar on my lap. The sound? Of the redzone/music. 

I think that 1h before the game ended I had moved the redzone to the main monitor. Apathy.

In the beginning I thought they kicked with the inside of their foot. I still really don't get it.

I believe they kick with the inside part of the top of the foot, closer to the beginning of the big finger (idk its name). 

Kicking with the top of the foot means you can accompany better the movement of the ball upwards, while kicking with the inside adds accuracy, and allows you to kick with your body sideways thus using your hips full range of motion, which is the key difference. When you kick with straight hips you are using almost exclusively your leg. Football kicking lets you use not only your hip but also the back and the rest of the body to create inertia. 

I'm no expert, but I hope I could explain the phenomenon.

Larry, it is indeed amazing. I still to this day do not understand how a soccer style kick is done. 

As a Spaniard, I find this interesting, since it is a common technique here. 

But don't you ask me to throw a baseball or a football, I have no freaking clue

Definitely the kicking is an almost exclusive talk between kicker, punter/holder and long snapper. 

I remember hearing Pat McAfee, who was a kicker in College and punter/holder in the pros, giving his opinion on wind etc to Vinatieri whenever he had to kick for the Colts. 

Rest in Peace, Bruce. 

You will be missed. ❤️

I understand the move to make it safer and more enjoyable. I think it is better than playing a fake football game where there are no hits (understandably so). 

I like the skill games and I watch the highlights every year.

I will never understand why would someone prefer having a sports car that will give you a few scares (maybe even risking your life) and driving tickets for using it as a sports car instead of a comfortable top class car with quality of life amenities that you can enjoy 100% of your rides on urban/suburban areas. 

If you wanna speed, there are tracks for that. Go there, spend as much money as you want and drive whatever car you wish (rental, sports car, whatever).

I visited a racing track a few months ago and they insisted that friends would come to race and speed instead of doing it on the roads. If by some unfortunate event there is an accident? Escapeways are way safer. If there is an injury? The driver/biker could be in the nearest hospital in 15 minutes, with full medical assistance from the get go. 

Probably Myles wasn't doing anything crazy, but he definitely was speeding and I can understand the urge to do that when you have such a fast car.

Cool pic I took between the 3rd and 4th quarter

 

As a non American who has never been to a live game... Is that a good spot to watch the game? How much did you pay? 

I think I would love to be close to the action (hits, shouts etc) but at the same time I would miss having an upper view of the game. 

I don't recall. Streams put a lot of ads to get revenue so I wouldn't count on them being in a platform that regulates every uploader's ads like YouTube does. 

Just like jrb said, Chubb scoring, York missing and, last but not least, defense sucking big time lost us the game. What an awful performance those last 2 minutes. Un-fucking-believable.

But us peons can't comprehend why an extra $20 million on top of $200 million is such a big deal to these guys. 

The same way some low class worker from your town won't comprehend why you getting a pay rise was such a big deal to you when you were already winning doctor money. 

It's all about perspective, and these rich guys are asking money to 100x richer guys, while they play one of the most demanding and demanded sports. 

I hope that call to go for it on 4th down was a bluff, because if not, I would be mad at Stefanski.

If you're 14-7 up and you receive the ball on the 2nd half, you just put points on the board. 

OK, let's give the ball to Chubb, then to Hunt, then repeat the process. 

We'll do better.

Tavern is useless just like these 2 QB's

 

I'm on the Browns Board Discord. Stopped showing at the tavern when people stopped showing up. 

I'm glad Baker is keeping his antics against the Browns.

Any stream ?

Got this one to finally work after 30mins. 

Bohorquez is the best player of the team so far, and that says a lot. 

Stream not working. Awesome. 

I hope our D will hold their ground and our run game will dominate both the trenches and the time of possession.
