The Gipper Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 For some reason I could not find Defensive Line and Linebacker corps separate rankings. At best I could find is overall defensive rankings. Here they are per Fantasy Pros.com (not the best authority, I know. If someone can come up with better, please do by all means: 32. 49ers 31. Saints 30. Browns 29. Colts 28. Bears 27. Redskins 26. Lions 25. Cowboys 24. Titans 23. Falcons 22. Jets 21. Bucs 20. Chargers 19. Dolphins 18. Bills 17. Packers 16. Eagles 15. Raiders 14.

The Gipper Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Here are the rankings for the AFCN teams: Receivers: Steelers 9th Bengals: 13th Browns: 27th Ravens: 29 Running Backs: Steelers: 1 Bengals: 8th Browns: 24th Ravens: 28th Offensive Line: Browns: 2d Steelers: 3rd Ravens: 23rd Bengals: 31st Quarterback: Steelers 8th Ravens: 16th Bengals: 24th Browns: 32d Defensive Backfield: Ravens: 6th Bengals: 20th Browns: 22d Steelers: 23rd Defense, overall: Ravens: 11th Steelers: 13th Bengals: 14th Browns: 30th Now...who is underrated and who is overrated? A. Personally, I think all the defense overall are overrated (except the Browns...who I think will prove to be underrated) B. Steelers run game slightly overated. Top 10...but not #1. Browns run game, I think, will prove to be underrated. C. Steeler receiving corps may actually be underrated at #9 with A. Brown..and if Bryant comes back to form D. Ravens DB I think vastly overrated. Middle of the pack, not top 10. E. I think the QBs are close to being right...though Flacco maybe a bit underrated. They have Cousins, Stafford, Mariota ahead of him. He could maybe move up 3-4 spots. I can't argue with the ranking of the Browns QBs...though I expect them to disprove that ranking when the shooting begins. F. Again, I can't argue with the current ranking of Browns defense, give last year...but I do expect them to move up toward the middle of the pack.

TexasAg1969 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 So with either Kessler or Ossie @ QB we are #32. That should make it easy for Kizer to break through to the starting position by year's end or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 How are we ahead of the Texans and Broncos for RBs? CJ Anderson and Jamaal Charles? Why would we not be? Charles has been good, but he is on the high side of 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Pluto on QB release times. Very telling stats both for QBs and for receivers. Well, this is what I asked before....what is the reason for slow release?....and how do they measure release time? I think that there is a difference between the act of making the decision to throw and "trigger speed". If QBs are not making the decision to throw...it could mean a few things: A. They are just slow at decision making..which is not good, or B. as Pluto said...the receivers are not doing the job of getting open...or C. the OL is a sieve and the QB has to scramble to avoid the rush...thus delaying release time. Or, as I said, is it a matter of "trigger time". Can the QB get rid of the ball in lightning like (Dan Marino like) speed. Or do they have a big slow windup. You might think that the big tall, Osweiler/Flacco size guys would have the long windups. But that may not be the case...maybe sometimes, not always. If a QB winds up to throw the ball like he is Luis Tiant out there, that does no good. (It is apparently why Tim Tebow had no career). And, another factor has to be how deep of a drop is a QB asked to make? If all Browns pass plays call for 5-8 step drop, it is going to take longer to release it than with a 3 step block. Should Hue devise more plays with fewer step drops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Here I will list the Unit rankings I attained from several a random sources regarding the various units on NFL teams.: FIFY... "several" gives the impression you're averaging the ratings of multiple outlets for each unit. Offensive Line: Browns: 2d Steelers: 3rd Ravens: 23rd Bengals: 31st Looks pretty close to one of our rankings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wargograw Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Why would we not be? Charles has been good, but he is on the high side of 30. Because our backs are pretty mediocre. Anderson alone was probably enough for us to be behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Because our backs are pretty mediocre. Anderson alone was probably enough for us to be behind them. I can't agree. I think our backs will be much better than mediocre this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
