I think my main thing, really, is if you're going to harp on the negative then you also have to bring up the positives. Its the only way to give a fair assessment. That's especially the case in game ONE.
I'm very aware of how bad they looked yesterday. But it doesn't mean I can't take away some of the good things as well.
Eh. I don't know. Fuck it. I'm going to go play golf.
Really the only positive thing I took from the game was our linebacker play. They filled the gaps in the run game really well and held Miami's run game in check the entire day. Kudos to that unit. I thought they also did a decent job of getting in passing lanes in the middle of the field. Tannehill hit a few throws behind them, but in totality, that unit was one of our best units on the day.
Offensively, if our o-line and especially Mitchell Schwartz are that bad, you might as well let Jason Campbell start. Weeden is a statue and it will be a long, terrible year for Browns fans to watch him get decimated. I understand the (3) picks weren't his fault, but the offense looked awful even if those balls are caught. It'd be great to see Weeden get a fair shake and execute a Norv Turner offense all things being equal...I just don't think we have the offensive line to allow that happen. Which is sad with the amount of resources we've put into the offensive line. And how is Oniel Cousins even on the roster? Patrice O'Neal would be a major upgrade and at least make us laugh instead of cry:
