Two veteran lineman flopping on a crucial play at the same time while the newcomers play as if they know their assignment?

Man, I don't want to be that guy, but bruh…

I'm trying not to be more upset than I should be on this 4th and 1 from last week.

  1. The one thing that might explain this is that they always do this barrel forward on 4th downs, but the Raiders caught it on film and knew to side step them which made the vets look like idiots. I really don’t know tho

  2. Is there any chance a tush push play was originally called and then shedeur checked out of it without some of the line knowing?

    Seeing Conklin and Bitonio get so low so fast.. it isn’t even just a missed assignment, it looks like they are trying to execute an entirely different play.

  3. You should have kept the video running. If it’s the play I’m thinking of, another couple guys followed him untouched.

  4. I don’t know enough about o-line play to be certain, but I thought in short yardage plays like this, the idea is to get as low as you can and push as opposed to creating actual running lanes.

    Seems like the defenders just timed the snap good which allowed them to side step.

    Slow motion probably making it look much worse than it actually was too.

  5. Omg…that is terrible. Is this what Stefanski means when he says “I’ll have to watch the tape” ?

    In the tape room do you call the OL guys in with the IT guy and ask if someone has hacked the footage because there is no f’ing way that footage is not Grok’d.

  6. Pssshh worst 4th and 1 ever? Just wait until you get to the film from the 3rd quarter

  7. The way this O-Line is coached and trained is the responsibility of Kevin Stefanski.

    He needs to see this and hold position coaches and players accountable.

    That the team has become THAT WORSE is SOLELY HIS RESPONSIBILITY!!

    Why?
    Because this has NOTHING to do with missing cap or a sexual offender. These are 2 veterans acting literally like CLOWNS!!! 🤡

    That’s 100% on Stefanski!
    He enables it. He tolerates it. He doesn’t correct it.

  8. This is Tanking 101. It’s not meant to be fixed. As a Browns fan, there’s always next year.

  9. If this were a QB sneak it would have maybe worked. Those two diving forward makes no sense if this is just a regular run up the middle.

  10. It seems like they’re being coached to lunge like that. That’s Conklin and Bitonio looking dumb so I assume they’re supposed to do some stupid shit like that on that play

  11. CONKLIN hasn’t been a good tackle since he started getting hurt. And why he try to block like for a qb sneak.

  12. This wasn’t a flop. Its a poorly executed technique. Probably a new one. There is no conspiracy guys. You really think theses guys trying to play their way out of the league to advance a conspiracy? Sound like a bunch of idiots with this stuff.

  13. That’s the O-line that needs help via the upcoming draft. It’s currently the Old Line.

  14. In middle school I was always taught to keep your head up. On defense I noticed the guy across from me blocking like this this his head down. Next play I side stepped him and he fell face first just like this. Pissed him off and he kicked my ass for the rest of practice, but it was so worth it. 

  15. It’s plays like this that make me think, ya this is all an inside job…all rigged haha

  16. So is Teller washed or is the blocking scheme the problem? I have no idea but it seems like as soon as bill Callahan left our line turned to garbage. I wondered if these lineman fit his blocking schemes and not the current. Teller isn’t that old yet is he? I know Joel is retirement age.

  17. I don’t understand good o line technique either but you see the o line crash inside hard and the d just side stepped that no problem.

  18. To the people saying they are tanking… why would a player willing tank? There is absolutely no benefit for players to willing tank.

    One of the most illogical takes.

  19. Don’t worry Mary Kay will say were superbowl ready with a window and watson is good to go

  20. If there was ever a case for “those guys just threw that play on purpose”…this is it. Yikes
