There's something about this team that just feels different!

[Coogiguy03]

Starting off with the offseason in hiring Parker, that was a big move. Yes we know that he's inexperienced and he's young, but hey maybe this young cat, can show these old dogs some new tricks!! The way we've assembled this roster, it's apparent that we had a plan, and we executed it to the best of our abilities. Are their still positions that could use depth, of course. The biggest issue last season was our defense, what did we do to fix it? We bring in guys like Thompson, Durant, Locke, Gary, Bullard, Otito. Then we draft Downs, Lawrence, Ballard, Moore, LT. All of these new faces brought in, in a short amount of time. These signings steer differently than our normal signings in the off season (free agents). FA seemed to be well thought out, we missed out on some guys, but at least there was effort put into it!

The offense had a great year, and they cap it off by bringing back Pickens, and resigning Williams. You add a player who's said to have a matured a bit over the offseason in Blue, to go with Flo who had a solid year for us, this offense can go on to be special, and live up to the phrase "GOTI!"

Something just feels different, we can't have made all these moves, only to fall short. With the guys mentioned, to go with those that are already here, I believe we make a push this season that we've been wanting to see. A deep run in the playoffs............. Please give your input

Then we draft Downs, Lawrence, Ballard

Who is Ballard?

I think your on to something..... So far, this training camp has been without distractions (at least player distractions) No Micah Parsons antics, no Diggs drama... just good a good start to training camp so far....Dont miss the Parsons and Diggs drama....at all

That's just a new flavor of preseason, haven't played a game yet hype, you're smelling.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I’ve fallen for the “Things feel different this year” vibe too many times before. I’m sticking with cautiously optimistic until I see wins.

 

[StarLord]

I swear this gets said every year.. maybe not last year lol, but almost every year.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Somebody Should post links to all the This year feel different threads throughout the years. Lol

Hey don't give Coogs any ideas, we get enough threads from him throughout the year.

 

[Jarv]

Okay guess I'll make my $100 bet for them to win the superbowl. Can't be any worse for me than I've seen the last 30 years...lol.

I'm always optimistic this time of year.

 

[Verdict]

I believe that the defense will be much improved. I still think that in order for the defense to be top 5we would need at add at least one more linebacker of substance and possibly a legit pass rusher.

This defense might turn out to be top 5 if everything worked out well and we had no injuries. But that hardly ever happens. Unless our first round pass rusher becomes the next great pass rusher, and Barham becomes the next Lawrence Taylor, I think we probably need help at those positions.

This year feels different than all the previous years that things felt different.

oh

 

[jazzcat22]

This year feels different because it is different. And in a better way.
It actually started last year.

How does it translate on the field. We need to wait and see.
At last TC is here along with all the hype. But all teams and fans are going through this right now. We will be better.
Even Browns fans feel this year will be different.

 

[fivetwos]

Actually it kinda feels the same (excluding the last two)…..me counting on a home run of a draft class to fix everything.

This one has the potential to be as franchise changing as the 2005 draft was, but for now that’s really all it is….except for Caleb of course, who is a guarantee.

 

[honest-observer]

I desperately hope so. But Jerry… can he stay away?

 

[Vtwin]

The way we've assembled this roster, it's apparent that we had a plan, and we executed it to the best of our abilities.

I haven't thought this year feels different since somewhere around 1990 but it does seem like the winds have shifted to a more favorable direction in this regard.

Keep the bow pointed in the right direction and just maybe we're a legit final 4 contender in the next couple seasons.

 

[Whyjerry]

Parker has never been a DC. Shottenheimer has always been been a bottom quartile coach. Jerry is senile. Cap Boy is worse.

Color me skeptical

 

[zrinkill]

This offseason feels different

Something feels. different

This Time It Feels Different

Something feels different

The Heartbeat it this Football Team is Different

This is a different team

Does this year feel different

Ect, Ect
