Great write up Bill – I am not sure I want Kosar to be involved in this organization – he has too many personal problems and the media would get carried away with it. A house cleaning is due – every player / coach / manager you made mention of has not performed very well. Shelton right now is the only one as you said has shown he can play. I am not going to criticize Erving yet – because in fairness, he is a rookie and he probably hasn’t gotten the same reps everyone else has. Also, he played center in college so transitioning to a different position in the Pro Level can be a challenge. I do not call this pick a bust yet. I believe the idea with this pick was in response to the fact that Mack would leave at seasons end.

@Ice – I have to agree – firing Chud was probably the world decision they made. I don’t know why anyone would even want to try to come here and coach. I felt like the players didn’t quit on him and for the talent he had, he showed improvement in the organization.

I feel the total opposite with Pettine – I don’t believe we have improved at all. I feel like most the players have outright thrown the season away and are just going through the motions. I think Whitner and Haden are both happy not to be playing right now. I think we need to dump weight that is not performing. Our receiving core as expected is terrible. Our QB situation is terrible. Our defensive line and DB’s are garbage.

To follow up your busts, where we are weak:

Qb – browns tradition to be terrible
CB – bad qbs are looking like all pro against every single cb
safety – in the same boat as cb
defensive end – no pass rush and constantly getting burnt on outside runs
wide receiver – no size and the drops are historically high this season
right guard – neither have played very well

Basically 11 players that would not make a starting line up on any other team.
