PREFERRED OC AND DC FOR THE NEW ERA

and DESIRE TO WIN

some just like to criticize other fans.

FANS, as in fanatics about their team

you like being mediocre - we all know it

 

Whine

 

Cleveland.....Pittsburgh..............

you would hope it wouldn't be THAT difficult

 

Other than him being under contract with Cleveland

 

I like Weaver a lot. Of course, they could have just hired... never mind.

 

Personal preferences aside, I think it's more about who best fits the current plan for building the 2026 team.

 

Scheelhaase is getting a second interview for HC with the Browns today.

 

I see another coach told the browns thanks but no thanks

 

Had the same thought and then read this:

 

The OL coach hire is extremely important. Huge draft investment there and it still struggles far too often.

 

well yeah that would definitely throw a wrench in it...

 

Just read where Patrick Gramn has emerged as a leading candidate for Dc

 

We need Al Harris for DC.

 

Not exactly an inspiring list

 

Id poach the DL/LB assistant of Houston for DC

Scheelhouse for OC

 

Give me Graham all day over Simmons. Simmons hopefully a courtesy as someone else alluded to.

 

Schwartz big mad in Cleveland and wants out...wouldn't be terribly mad bringing him in. Maybe he'd love the chance to beat the Browns twice a year.

 

Right now would be a good time to strike a deal with Jim Schwartz - if you are a fan of his defenses.
He is not happy at all with Browns management.
Myself, Schwartz has had some very good defenses.. but I'm not 100% on him.
I would not any ledge if we hired him but at the same would not throw a keg party for it.

 

Its possible. He's a good DC, but runs a vastly different system than what we do here. He's a 4-3 guy that runs a lot of "wide 9". He's a man to man heavy, single high safety, and really relies on a strong DL and pass rush to fuel the defense. We... aren't built to run that type of scheme. I doubt he would be a fit.

We'd essentially be forced to offload Highsmith, Herbig, and Watt because none of them are the right type of EDGE player for the system. Sawyer is the only true fit as a 4-3 edge player. Our DL would be fine with Heyward, Harmon and Benton all being solid fits as 4-3 IDL. Though, I would question whether or not we have the pieces at S to feel comfortable running single high safety a lot. We'd be forced to put Ramsey there in all likelihood for the time being.

 

Jinx... I was just writing about that.
Apparently, he cleaned his office out.

 

I will say as a side note... It seems like the Raider fanbase has a pretty high opinion of Graham. They mention that his defenses are always pretty good, they play really hard all game, and well overperform the talent that they have (or lack) on that side of the ball. They also mention the atrocious offenses they've had as being another thing that has hindered his defenses dramatically.

Most places I've looked that has a lot of comments from Raiders fans, have them talking about how he is actually a quite good DC. I know a lot of their fans were happy when he was retained with Carrol's hire.

 

Unless Cleveland fires him, there would have to be compensation for a lateral move.

No way I'm giving Cleveland picks for Schwartz.
