Game plan vs Browns

I think we see something less conservative

I think you're the only person here that feels that way, myself included (for me because of the o-line injuries). Why is that (serious question, not smart-assed)?

I'm probably wrong... just hoping they want to go after the Browns the way they went after the Rams.

Maybe the run is the better play tomorrow.

You have a gut feeling. I get that.

gird your loins for debacle. I predict we come out playing like complete dogshit.

Let's give Schotty and Pete credit for the Pittsburgh game. Maybe they'll start a quick passing attack earlier against the Browns if the run game is getting stuffed.

Cleveland's run defense is graded much worse than its pass defense. Between that and the desire to take the pressure off of our backup OL players, I predict a run-heavy approach with deep play action shots to test their backup corners.

The Carroll haters groan about a "relapse" and ignore all the context above.

I think the issue people have with Carroll is that his offenses lack nuance. Running isn't bad per-say, but how we do it is questionable. I've seen series where we go two downs back to back with the same running play drawn up. I abhor the Carroll philosophy of being blatantly obvious about what we're going to be doing. Our whole playbook only seems to consist of two or three different running plays on the books.

Another issue with Carroll's offense is he seems more concerned about the approach rather than the result at times.

Except the approach produces results.

Which include being a top 10 scoring offense.
