Nicksilvy Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 To answer your question, no there is not. Our defense is absolutely pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFreeze Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't understand it. The ball carrier changes direction and we are mystified. So frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furnier Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I've seen Pee Wee teams tackle better. We suck. Â DWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Nothing to add. Â Absolutely dreadful tacklers. When they make one, it's almost like Braylon making a catch, it's party time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturim Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 did u notice how many bad angles were taken by Davis? He wasn't the only one, but I saw him a few times with horrible angles on the runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YtownBrownsBacker Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 This defense is a joke and RAC should hang his head. RACs two veteran leaders (McGinest and Davis) missed more tackles tonight then teams do in a year. Â And how about all that pressure they got on the QB?

Guest 88fingerslewy Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Stan, you probably see better tackling at a Mentor game. And that in no way is a knock on them. I can't remember watching a game when I was embarrassed at a teams tackling. I've seen over-powering offenses make defenses look bad but this was total horseshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcdonaldshoes Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Agree. I have seen high school teams tackle better. Just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Bad tackling is a result of bad coaching. How many times did we see Wright reach out & "grab" a runner with both hands?...Did he actually expect them to fall down from fear? The poor tackling coupled with a "non-rush" against a QB who was clearly having an off night. WHY can't, or won't, our coaching staff play aggressively? Tonight begged for aggressive play & we could have put this game away. Instead, we had to rely on an improbable field goal....If we do that the rest of the season, we'll lose most (if not all) the rest of our games. We were damn lucky!

Kingbman89 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 This team over-runs everytime. Â I dont get how we cant blitz the QB when Rogers has 3 people on him every play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greythan Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Horrific. Â Buffalo should have scored 7 points tonight. Their offense was one dimensional after Edwards completely imploded in less than one quarter and played scared all night. The entire planet knew the only chance Buffalo had was to run the ball and guess what? The 28th rated rushing team lit us up for 150+. Â I'm flat out shocked at how horrible a run defense we have.

Riffer X Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 The Browns have a syndrome called "Wait for the other guy to make the tackle." Â It's something pussy football players do. They pretend they want to make the play, but in actuality they are waiting for the other guy to make the play. Â This is what Lewis was referring to as quitting. Â I noticed this early on in the year but it hadn't festered into full blown meltdowns like of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFoul Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm tired of this soft ass defense, this whole team plays without fire because of this teddy bear bullshit RAC brings as a coach. I rarely see guys on the sideline trying to get the team fired up, even when were winning. Play angry football, play fierce, with fire and learn how to tackle.

MrFreeze Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 and another thing....quit trying to strip the F**KING ball every play and hit someone like they just ran over your dog.... Â It might cause a fumble 1 out of 100 times, but the other 99 times the ball carrier gains 5 additional yards, or in the case of the past few weeks he finds the endzone. It's garbage. I wanted to fire the defensive coordinator but I'm afraid the guy who replaces him will somehow be worse. Â Someone in the Cleveland media please pose this question in next press conference. What the hell is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dawg Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think that JL is right about the "quitters" and that players that perform at such a low level should be benched without pay for a game or fined for committing fraud. Something has to be done! I watched players, time and time again, stand idle as opposing RBs ran right past them. Very little to no effort on the defensive side of the ball. Romeo should be 100lbs lighter from jumping up & down in rage watching the defense on the field. And the OL is not playing anywhere near their ability. Where is the accountability???

Arjuna74 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 When are they gonna realize that arm-tackles and tackling high won't cut it??? Their technique as a team is horrendous. This is a reflection of the quality of coaching.... which is about zero. I can't friggin believe the defense almost cost us ANOTHER game. I'm happy I didn't follow through with smashing my television set over my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
