D Bone Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I typically stay away from any NE RB in fantasy - never know who Bill will hand it off to from one game to the next.... .... and don't think I didn't see you there Cordarrelle Patterson.

This year, both Michel and James White have been putting up numbers in the same game. Michel is the power/speed. James White with tons of receptions out of backfield.

White's steady role has been as "the 3rd down back", so, yes, is in to receive more than run. This year he has picked up a chunk of the workload that Dion Lewis had shouldered. Halfway thru 2018 he already has posted a career high in rushing yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If say....we had a young OC who was well thought of and we promoted him to interim, then sure it would maybe be a test drive. But thats not the case here. Everyone expects that. Hell Williams Im sure knows that. There are 32 nfl teams and not a single one, including us, thinks of Williams as potential HC candidate. Going 6-2 to finish the year isnt going to change that.

The two arent neccessarily connected in such a linear way wrt decision making though. Every interim coach isn't interviewing for the job. Dorsey/Haslam very much picked an interim here that they wouldnt have to worry about such a thing. They are going to pick some new guy. Williams is not coaching to be the browns HC in 2018.

Maybe even 5-3 will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 We are in a win-win situation with Williams now. If he turns this team into a competitor every Sunday and does not pull those mind-binding gameday mismanagement skills over from The Departed One, we might actually already have a HC. If not then we still have a decent DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he turns this team into a competitor every Sunday and does not pull those mind-binding gameday mismanagement skills over from The Departed One, we might actually already have a HC. If not then we still have a decent DC. I don't think you could've said it any better. We all see the rough and gruff side of Gregg from things like Hard Knocks and whatever else, but apparently he's not to be fair to his players and a coach that earns their respect. One thing the players like (per Browns Daily) is Gregg isn't above calling out his own mistakes, and he encourages his players to voice their opinions. He's kind of an "old school" type of guy, and there's a small chance he's exactly what they need to get back to competitive. Also, Gregg doesn't give a hoot about the offense. That means we could bring in whoever we wanted and run whichever style of offense we think would best suit Baker. I wouldn't BET on Gregg coming back as head coach, but I could think of worse things. Especially if we somehow find the right offensive mind to help our stagnant point production. I also find it appealing to bring back the same defensive coordinator for another year. From what I understand, Gregg was instrumental in drafting Ward and acquiring more DB's. Dorsey, to his credit, listened and made it happen. We don't have the "be all, end all" secondary, but we're also dealing with some injuries, and those poor bastards are on the field so darn much.

lodilobo Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm sure Williams is planning on making an impression to become the permanent HC. I have no idea how good he will be, or if the players will respond to him. Personally, I hope we win 6 of the last 8 games, and he stays on as HC.

In a given org though, this is not always so black and white. Even if there is an organizational chart that spells it out. Hell ust thinking on a personal level our practice has such a well defined chart, but behind the scenes we all know who can influence who in various ways and to what degrees in some situations,and thats not spelled out in a chart. Or even if it's listed as such, its possible to be changed on a whim in an instant.Jimmy can give a GM full control over the HC, until he doesn't like something and decides not to...even if not done formally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how bad of a HC he is....he can't be as bad as Hue. We all couldn't wait to get Jackson out of here, we finally get him out, and now we're going to bitch about who is taking over? Sorry the guy has an ego and is a little full of himself....maybe exaggerates a little.....yeah, he sucks. Maybe it's not too late to beg Hue to come back. Too bad we couldn't get Gruden like a lot of us wanted. Be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
