    So there is no connection at all then? Got it.

    How does it sound like it?

    Interesting note, in the 2015/16 NFL playoffs, 9 of the top 10 run defenses made it to the playoffs. The other was the NY Jets.

    That is pretty interesting. And all of them have relevant QBs, including the Jets.

    For a contrast, see Cleveland.

    I'd take the Browns QB play over both this past season.

    Hopefully the Browns pick all D-Line this year so we can have the #1 rush defense and be Super Bowl champs.

    Stopping the run is an important aspect to winning football games dummy.

    How'd Shelton work out for us? 2nd worst record in the league.

    Shelton is the only reason we lost huh? Damn, worst pick of all time right there.

    No. I'm sure the Browns will draft another stud lineman and then when we go 4-12 next year you'll be back on here telling us we need to focus on stopping the run!

    Total yards is a little skewed. It stands to reason that most playoff teams would be lower because good teams are usually ahead, and teams pass more when playing from behind. Green Bay was the only playoff team in the top half of the league in terms of rushing attempts against, and they were 14th.

    If you look at YPC you have Tampa, Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Baltimore in the top 10.

    Shelton is one piece of the puzzle. DEs, LBers, Safeties that can fucking tackle (looking at whitner), etc.... For the record I want Geoff or Lynch and have said that numerous times.

    Shelton is a bum. He's only a two down player and drafted 12 overall

    He had a good second half of the year. Pretty fucking stupid to call a D-lineman who showed a lot of promise a bum.

    Agreed. Shelton was pretty disruptive towards the end of the year. If he gets good coaching, which I don't think he had with Pettine's crew, I expect significant improvement.

    These.

    Plus, to say Shelton is only a "two down player" in a 3-4 system isn't necessarily a bad thing. A NT's job, in a 3-4, is to eat space, occupying two blockers so the LB's can do their work. Any high amounts of tackles or sacks from a NT are just gravy. Frankly, if the offense is in a 3rd & long, Shelton probably shouldn't be on the field anyway.

    As a side note, Hue Jackson had a second interview with the Browns yesterday and left without an offer. He's expected to meet with the Giants today or tomorrow. The Giants meeting may be a due diligence type of thing because the frontrunners for that position are supposedly Ben McAdoo & Doug Marrone.

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 2m2 minutes ago Looks like Browns will get done deal with Hue Jackson before he gets on flight to New York for interview with the Giants, per sources.
  • Lovejoy1984
    Hue just confirmed he's the new coach.
