What will the Cleveland Browns need to address during the off season?

Question

What will be thier biggest priorities in the draft?
Who needs to go?
Who might be a good free agent to snag?
Do they need a good coach?
Do we need more patience with Frye?

So many questions.... gawd this has been a rough season.

Answer 1

I think both the O and D lines should be a priority. There was no running game tonight because the O line wasn't making any holes, and though Anderson didn't seem to get knocked around too badly, it seemed like there were Steelers in his face almost every time he tried to throw. They have plenty of guys who can catch the ball - though you wouldn't know they could catch from tonight's game - and Droughns is a decent RB, but without an effective line, any offense will sputter.

The D line needs an upgrade too, as you could tell by the fact that Roethlisberger had time to complete and file his taxes in the pocket. The pass rush is simply pitiful, the only bright spot being Wimbley leading the league in sacks by a rookie.

I'd give Crennel and Frye another year, and get them some linemen.

Answer 2

okay just look at the stats from this game: the running game is worse than awful-they need to intentionally lose out the rest of the season so they get a chance to draft a good RB. So dump the backs, I dont know who is going to be a free agent after the season but there is always the rare trade. If this is a young coach or just his few seasons Id give him a chance to do better recruiting coach and player wise..I would give Frye another chance because he doesnt really seem bad hes 8th in the league in passing yards.

Answer 3

ok, pittsburgh is better then their record would indicate, but still, willie parker had a kick *** game against the browns , and as much as i love the steelers, they've struggled in their running game this year, so it's obvious that the main problem with the browns is their defense. On top of that the recievers are not looking too hot either. Any way you look at it no ones gonna say "don't worry, the browns will be good next year," because they willn't, but they can improve, and maybe in a couple years, have a winning record/make the playoffs.

Answer 4

Don't get T.O Edwards and T.O. lead the NFL in drops over the past three seasons. They had an excellent draft class two years ago with Brady Quinn and Joe Thomas. They need to acquire some talent on the line (both sides) and get a running back. Lewis is getting old.

Answer 5

hmmm well lets see after watching that game last night they need to address players mouth. Braylon Edwards shot his mouth off all game and couldnt catch a ball. Only when the game was 27-0 did he catch a ball and then had the nerve to smack talk after it. Idiot your down 27-7. Oh yea and Kellen Winslow what an idiot. Shot his mouth off all game long, gives Farrior a cheap shot after a play was over then got his smack talking head knocked off by Farrior very next player. The Browns need to quit running their mouth and learn to play football. Go Steelers!

Answer 6

the browns need to address shortcomings everywhere. no joke. romeo crennel could be a good coach and i think he has potential but really outside of braylon edwards & kellen winslow jr this is a bad division 2 college team.

sorry about your team. cleveland's loyal fans deserve better. pittsburgh really isn't very good and you guys got completely smoked.

drafting tim couch and william green set this team back years and years.

Answer 7

If they get a high enough pick, they should snag Adrian Peterson, they need a star RB

Answer 8

wow, after watching today's game it looks like everyone should go.

Answer 9

if they should keep playing or not, cause they will never be good.
