Just like Rhule and McAdoo drew it up... art of deception.

As I said before, even if a few things look better because of Campen/Tabor/McAdoo/etc, what doee Rhule himself actually bring to the table? Only been one game but Rhule did Rhule once again even after a supposed off-season of learning and growth.

Brissett is sooo bad and yet here we are.

Burns and wildly overrunning the QB...

They've picked up exactly where 2021 left off, and Jacoby Brissett's suckitude is the only reason Cleveland still has no points.

As he has for 2 years prior.

So what happened on that penalty? Who did what to have the flag thrown?

What a god-awful penalty.

It's wayyyyyyyy too early for any definitive conclusions but thus far it's just 2021 redux. Some folks just got their hooes up way too high for what they expected to see right out of the gate.

And there's Chinn making the tackle but 6 yards down field and coming from 15 years deep because Snow is determined to waste his talents.

Carolina returned the favor.

Oh look, tackle stretch... huh. Who could've guessed?

Throw it to the guy in white while avoiding the other guys in white.

Come on now, Carolina's defense isn't THAT bad.

Let's see it on the field, especially after the coaching impotence of the last 2 seasons.

I'm comfortable betting that if a vet like Shaq dislikes it, then most players probably do as a whole. You know, like how the NFLPA as a whole filed a request with the league to go to natural surfaces everywhere. https://nflpa.com/posts/only-natural-grass-can-level-the-nfls-playing-field And player comments after OBJ hurt his knee in the Super Bowl and in general, saying 90% prefer it. "Players claim that 90% of them prefer playing on real grass Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb, who sprained his MCL in a game against the Dallas Cowboys in October 2020, blamed the turf at AT&T stadium for his injury in a Twitter post during the Super Bowl, and claimed that 90% of NFL players prefer to play on natural grass." https://www.insider.com/nfl-stars-ban-turf-odell-beckham-jr-injury-super-bowl-2022-2?amp Perhaps it is you that should, in this instance, STFU.

They improved, but we just can't see it. Rhule told us so.

My FF team says no.

I'm envisioning this meme, but with Belichick and a picture of Kupp.

The QB position did not improve last year. The OL position did not improve last year. The WR position did not improve last year (and Robby/Robbie regressed hard). The DT position did not improve last year (and Derek Brown found himself benched at one point). DE/edge/pass rush improved primarily because of Reddick, who is now gone. CB arguably improved but Gilmore brought his skills and is gone, and Jackson replicated his 2020 season at best. Scheming and strategy sure as hell didn't improve last year. No, the team did not improve on the whole last year. And while the new season is about to begin and make last season mostly irrelevant, it remains primary evidence against the whole '3rd year jump' commentary nonsense.

What is this 'Matt Rhule tends to have a big jump in Year 3' BS that continues to perpetuate? His biggest jumps have come from years 1 to 2 (while at Baylor), and otherwise his team continued on whatever trajectory they were on from Year 1 to Year 2. Carolina had zero improvement from Years 1 to 2, and even looked markedly worse on the field. If there is some magical big jump this year then cool, but it is not following a trend like everyone seems to think it is - Rhule already bucked that trend by failing as hard as the team did last year.
