Yeah, McCaffery did run all over us, but then we shut down Kamara to 45 yds. Our line seemed better too, Brockers etc.

What a difference a knowledgeable safety makes... Joyner was killing us last year.

It’s always good to have opposing fan drop in, some here may get their panties in a bunch but most of us here enjoy good nature sparring every now and then

Damn for some of these people we need an emoji change to fit their comments!Sheesh. For a team who hasn’t won many games, they sure are confident.
GAME 3: Rams on the menu for Sunday Night
After 2 weeks we have seen the ugly Browns, and we have seen the workman Browns. What version will we see in week 3 on Sunday Night Football? Offensively the Browns seem out of sync. Week 1 it was understandable playing behind a makeshift OL, but week 2 it just seemed somehow disjointed...www.barkinghard.com
GAME 3: Rams on the menu for Sunday Night
It's simple for me.
Priefer - change nothing
Wilks - keep on keepin' on
Monkin/Kitchens - get the damn lead out and get the plays into Baker sooner.
Plays in to Baker sooner,
means to the line quicker,
means better reads of the D,
means a better pre-snap plan,
means time for an audible,
means less time panicking in the pocket.
Just start by giving Baker more than a single digit play clock as he breaks the huddle.
And that's all I have to say about that.
__________________________
As the saying goes "you only get better by playing a better opponent". I'm not sure they are buttoned up enough to win Sunday but maybe that'll change during a short week.
____________________________
Any given Sunday. Oh, and have a plan for number 99
_____________________________
Rams are good but can absolutely be beat and that comes from a fan (my #2). Goff gets the ball out but isn't mobile, Garrett's speed could be an issue for them (and earth).
Browns pass offense is out of sorts. Baker made several wow throws yesterday, top 5-7 type of throws, but missed a lot and held the ball a ton. DCs have fooled him. Browns QB braintrust needs to put him in a way better situation on getting calls in... and getting over their Kitchens/Monkens erection for becoming homogeneously "deep ball." Gonna get him killed.
He clearly misses Higgins when he's out, no doubt about it. Missing his safe place. Callaway too. Landry is the only guy he had any real experience with, from last year through preseason. It's not ideal to toss guys out together, hope everybody chills on the idea of not playing together in preseason unless you've had years to run like clockwork. Silly.
Orlovsky broke it down great in Tweets and on NFLN... but so much from last year (back half) is just missing. We're doing one thing, throwing deep, and making it obvious by getting those plays in the slowest.
My point: It's better already and it's gonna keep getting better. Higgins (hopefully) returns, Kitchens/Monken get their shit together, and more reps start showing up.
Pass protection was very good. Well, line was good period, Hubbard weak link (not Kush).
_______________________________
Run chubb early and often, run the ball more then, after that keep handing to chubb, mix in a few screams quick slants and wheel routes.
Our D will be fine.
Brown's 24
Rams 20

Yah, everything that's been said. Also not very impressed with Wilks thus far. Heard he played to his players strengths, doesn't appear so. Garrett obviously has been phenomenal ...the rest of the defense, not the greatest. Especially our once dominant CB. Put Ward in position to play to his strengths, dude has to be losing some of his swagger at this point. I will be very interested to see how the D performs against the Rams, from what I have seen thus far my expectations aren't high. I am hoping they just play down to their competition.
Looking forward to throwing the "Kitchen" sink at them on offense, some creative play calling, formations, power run schemes, shallow quick hitting routes to mitigate Donald, etc.
This game is really going to tell us how good we are.
______________________________
When the titans said ‘we had no heart” of course I didn’t buy that but we are still lacking identity and that comes from continued progress together as a team.
This is the start of the schedule most of us worried about, after what Ive seen from this team so far the Rams game is winnable, the real test is Baltimore and I think there not nearly as good as there numbers would have you believe.
I’m not looking past the Rams I’m looking more at progress per week and if the titans loss was our turnaround i’ll Be fine with it but if they get spanked at home on national TV this team isn’t the prime time players we thought we had for this season, however should we win or die tryin I’m cool with that.
They need to show up,yeah Baker I’m talkin to you.
________________________________
The Rams kind of showed to me a lack of heart in last years Super Bowl I wasn't impressed with.
Won't be easy but I think we'll see the most polished effort this year so far.
Browns 31 Rams 20
_________________________________
If Baker takes what he said in the post game presser (taking what's there instead of waiting for the longer routes) then.........maybe. 99 ain't gonna let him sit back there and wait.
Again better tackling this year from the front. Gotta be encouraged with that.
Secondary didn't really have much to do against jets passing game until 2nd half and the got beat more than once. Goff and his experienced wrs could have a game. I'd love to see Greedy make a few big plays and maybe that will inspire Ward to get his act together.During our 1-15, 0-16 nightmare I could always figure out a way to predict a win. Hence no more. But I'm thinking we get crushed Sunday. Feel free to slam me for the next few days but I've seen nothing on offense to think we can keep up with them. Garrett can only do so much.
_______________________________
this game was put in prime-time on purpose. It wreaks Browns win.
The game is in Cleveland. Rams have looked sloppy.
half their points last week were penalty piggy-back rides.
_____________________________
________________________________
I hope that Baker will appear in a lot of commercials this week to give us a better chance at winning. Because that's how entertainment works.
I also hope they will pass to set up the run. Running into stacked boxes doesn't work - just ask the Jets.
Also, just asking, who is the Rams backup QB?
______________________________
We really haven't seen any trickery from the offense yet. I wonder if that's on the cards. Odell and Landry are both decent throwers of the ball...
Yeah, I'm pretty much at that point because outside of "be perfect" I am not entirely sure how to beat the Rams. Just an overall good team. Any weaknesses they have are beyond my paygrade.
____________________________
Shep....let me help you.
RT - Rob Haverstein has been owned 2 weeks in a row...once by Cameron, and once by a combo of Noteboom and Allen??? Who??? Against Garrett and Vernon he should continue that trend.
Gurley is still not 100%. Got his yards against the Panthers who are giving up chunks...but not nearly as effective against NO.
Goff is dinking and dunking again. He is 22nd in y/a at 7.0 (Baker is 11th at 8.4). He has only 5 passes beyond 20 yards (Baker has 11). (see this as a possible reason for Gurley)
Sacks - despite having Darnold, they have only 5 sacks in 2 games (playing Cam the sack Newton and a backup), Browns have 8...5 by Garrett alone.
Not saying the above is terrible...just saying they are far from perfect and have areas that can be exploited...areas the Browns match up well with.
_______________________________
I hear you but I can't help but being a bit old school here.
How do you beat the Rams? Play better fundamental football and don't lose the coach v coach game.
If Freddie does a good job of mixing things up (run/pass/special play) and our offense executes to a high (not perfect, but certainly high) level we have a chance to score points. I don't think we need to resort to a ton of trickery or anything bordering on desperation.
Same deal when they have the football.
I'm still of a mind that we have the collective talent to be competitive with anyone. The burning question is can we get it to translate onto the field.
_________________________________
Agree with you on this and the old school thinking.
I'll admit I don't watch much football outside of the Browns. But I don't think teams use "trick plays" all that often. Maybe in a last ditch "Hail Mary" kinda way, or in a playoff situation. If every team did one trick play per game...how many would really be tricks, you know?
This team has the skills to beat any team in fundamentals, if they play smart.
Mostly, for game 3, I'm just thrilled I get to watch another game!!!
_______________________________
I'm with you all the way. Anything extra curricular can provide a chunk or even a touchdown, but everything you mention is the requirement for consistent, sustained winning.
I only mention it because this game is being treated as an against-all-odds moment for the team. The only wins of that nature in our history that come to mind were the wins over New Orleans and New England in 2010. While having an elite quarterback in Colt McCoy, whose rugged handsomeness is matched only by his arm strength, made a significant difference, both of those games involved some trickery that aided in getting over the line.
But, as you say, it's ultimately going to come down to strong fundamental football, limiting errors, capitalizing on opportunities and having success from both coaching staff and the roster.

Absolutely. As long as opposing fans don't just come here to troll, they are welcome. At first there is always a shorter rope but we have several long time members here that are fans of other teams. The constant among all of them is respect for where they are and respect for other members here as well as the Rams organization. And we will return that respect in general.
We don't allow fellow Rams fans to bash the organization, current players and coaches, and there's a quicker stop from the tree for opposing fans. But we also don't allow fellow Rams fans to disrespect opposing fans as long as they are posting within the rules here.
That all said, welcome @SpaceBrowns . We like having takes by fans of our opponents. I hope you have a great time here and stick around even after Sunday.
Cheers
