After painfully making it through about 3 quarters of last Saturdays preseason game against Green Bay, there was one thing that made me fill with disgust other than the list of 1000 other issues with our Browns. The defense.
I've been tinkering with how to present my/our frustration with these 11 people that take the field each Sunday over the past 10 years. My feelings are that it pains me more than anything to watch the stifling defense that Baltimore makes me cringe more than every time someone brings up the former Browns owner that rhymes with Fart Hotel.
The bust draft pics (Courtney Brown and a google of others), the ruptured Achilles tendon (Jamir Miller), the overpaid free agents that were to be more mentors than players (Willie McGinest), and the players that were good but just not good enough to get us over the hump (Andra Davis).
Well anyhow, the obvious fad is implementing the 3-4 defense, the Patriots use it (or used if you read on) Green Bay is now using it, and slew of others run this scheme. But here is the problem, the key to any defensive scheme is to have the appropriate personnel to allow those players to play there role in order to expose the weaknesses of the opposing offense.
The following article presents my frustrations in non four letter words. Enjoy!
