As an ex-Browns fans, the Browns issues are not due to Stefanski, IMO. If he's available and would take an OC job, you fire Slowik and grab him immediately... His run game concepts are amazing.
The scouts on this board could give us a report on Trey Smith since we're playing him this week and he's a FA Guard this off season. Would he fit our scheme and would he be worth the investment? Just asking for a friend.
Their defense is ranked higher believe it or not, and our offensive line is . Mixon has only had one game with decent yards against a top 9 defense. They held him to 1.6. Regardless, if CJ hadn't thrown 2 interceptions we would have won.
I think we go vet on OL b/c we already have a lot of young players on IOL. Brady Christensen in CAR is a player who should work well in ZBS. He has played T, G, & C with outstanding measureables / athletic ability. Looked decent this season when pressed into duty. Won't break the bank. The key is getting an OL coach who truly understands ZBS concepts IMHO. Benton, Dennison in NO come to mind Or just find the $$$ for Trey Smith, Drew Dalman, James Daniels, or Evan Brown.
I know Cade had appendectomy surgery, I have no clue how long that takes to recover, but I hope we have a serviceable TE in case Dalton gets hurt.
Agreed, also because I dont trust Nick to draft IOL. FA for OLine and draft for depth everywhere else. Is this Ambry Thomas guy a Nickel Corner by chance?
