EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I think this is a weird hire. I know little of the man but base this solely on the Vikings offense this past year. They actually match up pretty well with the Browns if you compare position groups. I wasn’t all that blown away by the Vikings, as if they couldn’t run the ball, it wasn’t a great day for them. the big question mark will be baker. Has he played under center in a system like this before? I just don’t see it

If I had his ear, I would say less game to game changes, continue the hurry up offense, keep using Josh as a runner but diminish it over time, but most importantly make the base offense 2 WR, 2TE, single back. Get a true #1 WR to pair with Brown and let Knox and Kroft beat linebackers in coverage. Then just sub Beasley for Kroft about 40% of the time for your second most used package. Expand To the bolded, I've thought this is maybe why they start so slowly all season. Blame it on Josh being amped up, but I'll blame it one such sweeping offensive changes week to week. I like that Daboll tries to adjust based on the opponent but with offenses (especially in passing), which often succeed based on timing and consistency of location where receivers are in patterns, the wholesale change week to week is tough.

Expand It’s not an accident that our best stretch of offensive games featured continuity with 11 sets and mostly the same 3 WR (Brown, Beasley, and McKensie) I think it’s very helpful to Josh to limit the guys he has to build timing with that week. The problem is, when we got into a game where we were faced with a bewildering array of defensive coverage, we simply couldn’t handle it with that personnel, and it didn’t seem as though we had “Plan B” in the books. Knox and Singletary may develop as blockers, but they’re not there yet. I don’t understand the Kroft love. He’s a better blocker than Knox right now, but he whiffed big time on Mercilus leading to the fumble. We seem very very vulnerable to that kind of shifting, confusing defensive scheme right now. That’s why we struggled against Houston - at times we had half our OL blocking air while they were pressuring on the edges.

eball Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I'm glad Daboll will be returning for the sake of continuity and Josh's continued development. I have no doubt Beane is going to find playmakers for this offense and Josh will have more to work with next season. This is better than starting over with a new coordinator.

He will promise to build a bully and will guarantee playoffs. His pitch will be so convincing they won't let him leave the building without a contract.

Expand I think Stefanski might get get 2 years and if things aren’t going well I could see Haslam completely cleaning house again and firing Stefanski + DePodesta too (since this was officially his hire this time) and going back to a more traditional “old school” football structure. He went the heavy analytics route in 2014/15 hiring Depodesta and Sashi Brown, gave that 2 years (but didn’t let Depodesta hire the coach he wanted), then went the complete opposite direction w/the old school Dorsey and the front office he brought in. Now another 2 years has passed and Haslam is back to the analytics centered approach with Depodesta/Stefanski. Until Haslam makes up his mind as to what he wants and actually sticks to it, the Browns will never have any sustained success (IMO).
