    Right now they're better at run blocking that pass blocking. Tretter is getting run over on pass plays. Pressure up the middle is a QB's worst enemy. I think Austin Corbett becomes the Browns new center after this season. BTW Tyrod Taylor holds on to the ball too long. He makes our OL look worse than mediocre. To put a finer point on this - the problem isn't necessarily that Tyrod holds onto it too long, it's that when he has the ball he's unable to find space in the pocket. QB's that have longer post-snap reads (Big Ben) have to have impeccable pocket presence. Tyrod either backs up or scrambles.

    I'm convinced that the second half last night saved his job. for now
  3. Not in the Justice Center.

    Baker played great; balled out, in fact. But let’s not derive any significance from that. Johnny Manziel led the NFL in Jersey sales. Now he’s a middle of the road CFL QB I just thought the uniforms looked great. Other teams fans seem to like them as well. We received clearance from the league to wear them twice more - I know one instance will be against the Ravens.

    ^Oh, and Jamie Collins and Joe Schobert are really really good.

    Our line is middle of the road. Not bad. Tyrod missed some man coverage blitz schemes yesterday, which really messed his timing up on a couple occasions. He did okay with the zone schemes from the field side, and those really looked like the confused Harrison in the first half - but he actually played well in the second. Here is why we don't do well. Our offensive line is not overpowering - they are good, but man on man they aren't moving anyone five yards off the ball. That's why you'll see us have better success out of zone-read schemes and inside to mid-zone runs. They're great at space and getting to the next level, especially on combo blocks in the A and B gap, but when we get in any sort of BOHICA formation, we struggle because a) its a run tendency, and b) 1 v 1 strength matchup usually prevail.
  8. Meanwhile, that sketchy suit salesman on Euclid is still open. I thin they sell recycled suits and sport coats after Pimps retire and donate them
  9. ^M Lang baffled me too. The only places downtown that can survive on that sort of model is Balani and Joseph Scafidi

    3 to be exact. Paying for it this morning. I literally sprinted from the game up to Barley House. Four of my friends had already taken about a dozen for the group. Absolute gluttons
  11. Lol. I can't believe you chose THAT area to pick your fight against public transport. Honestly, if I wanted an out-of-towner or national media personality to see public transport in Cleveland, I'd take them on the 55. Always crowded, younger crowd, and highly diverse.
  12. With this sentence alone I think I'm safe to assume you've never ridden the RTA near W. 50th. I don't even care for RTA that much. But you're categorically wrong here.
  13. ^commerce of the guns likely
  14. Is Cleveland Scene even aware of how obtuse they sound? https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2018/09/18/dan-gilbert-claims-to-be-spending-an-additional-45-million-in-q-arena-upgrades Honestly, I get that Dan Gilbert is not a sympathetic protagonist here... but the dude could donate $50 million to a pediatric surgery center and the Scene would write about how a nurse stubbed her toe on an improperly installed DaVinci machine.
  15. ^^ You can filter from here nickmgray[/member] https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best-public-elementary-schools/m/cleveland-metro-area/ I'll say this, though. Cleveland Public Schools are very substandard, on the whole, and that has been an issue in keeping families in Ohio City, Tremont, and Downtown once kids reach 5+ in age. I obviously don't want to force any views on you or assume you want to pay for education, but even if you're a secular family, I would consider Catholic grade schools. The religion classes they'll receive won't be indoctrination inasmuch as it will be "Jesus loves you and wants to be nice to people" (I had 12 years of Catholic schooling in Cleveland, no substantive theology begins until 7-8th grade and even then its not much). I have cousins who are not religious, but who raise their family in Edgewater and have their kids attend a Catholic grade school at Lakewood Catholic Academy, about a 10 min ride from Ohio City and 6-7 minute ride from Edgewater. Its a nationally recognized blue ribbon school and the kids have loved it. Good cross section of families send their kids there, some inner city, some from Lakewood and Rocky River.
  16. ^ Hopefully not as big of a discrepancy as this...
  17. You will struggle finding above-average (or even average) schools in Cleveland proper, unless you'd like them to have a private education. The Campus International school is a good school, but from my understanding, is selective on who is admitted in ways that other public schools are not. That would be a great way to expose your kids to a variety of cultures as well. I am in the process of renovating a house in Ohio City with my fiance. We bought a house that was given up on in the middle of a renovation because of insufficient funds, so we got lucky. Everything else we looked out was ready, but out of our price range, or in our price range, but needed an additional $150k of work. You can apply for tax credits in Cleveland if the renovation is substantial enough (I can't speak to that in any sophisticated manner though). Additionally, just know that you will have some zoning restrictions on exterior renovations as 90+% of Ohio City is in a historic district. My advice, out of the neighborhoods you listed, Ohio City is the best bet - though they're all good in their own regard. But if you're truly interested in walkability and access to the city, Ohio City or bust. There are restaurants, book stores, churches, grocery stores, markets, office space, night life, ice cream shops, and public transport all within walking distance from just about anywhere in the neighborhood. I feel safer in Ohio City, especially near Bridge, than I do in some suburbs. WELCOME TO CLEVELAND. If you need any help you can PM me for my number and I'll gladly tell you what I know.
  18. Awesome, thanks guys! Re: the ticks, I bought waterproof hiking pants that will go all the way to my laces, and I doubt we will venture much off trail at either spot. Good call on the extra socks. I'm really huge on transcendentalism, so I'm stopping at Walden Pond on our way back too. But the antique point is excellent. We close on our house in a week so it may be a great time to go deal shopping.
  19. Hey Guys, figured we should start this thread outside of CVNP's. First post, my fiance and I will be going to New Hampshire over Columbus Day weekend to hike and be foliage tourists. Our hikes will be limited to October 6th, as we will be heading to Boston the following day to see family. We will be climbing Mount Osceola in the morning, then getting back into our car and doing a more flat hike to East Pond. Views from Osceola and East Pond are pictured below. View from each side of Osceola [240 degree view from the top] East Pond This will be our first true hike outside of Ohio, PA, MI, or New York. So advice will be much appreciated! We are bringing the following with us: - Hiking boots - My 50L trail ready back pack. - Neck gaiters (ticks are particularly bad in NH this year) - Waterproof coats if need be - Lunch (Half loaf of bread, organic peanut butter, and pears) - Selfie stick (Millenial lifeline) - Tree hammock - (I'm bringing Thoreau ;) ) - and two 32 oz. Nalgene bottles filled with water. - Bug spray Are we missing anything glaring? I understand we aren't scaling Everest here, but I just want to make sure we have our bases covered. All tips/pointers/suggestions about what to bring or what to see while in NH (We're staying in Waterville Valley) are greatly appreciated.
  20. Wow, I live at 28th and Franklin. This is terrible. And I live at 38th and Clinton. I don’t want to feel like I can’t walk around my own neighborhood. I'll say this, I've never even felt so much as uncomfortable in my neighborhood

  22. I always wonder what it would be like if all the economic might of Ohio was concentrated in one city (e.g. Indianapolis, Chicago, NYC in their respective states) instead of split between three equally. I like three city-states instead of one empire, tbh
  23. jeremyck01[/member] it depends. There’s a grassroots approach to alums they expect to give $10-10,000. To alums with a higher net worth, the leverage is typically recognition, though some choose to remain anonymous. I was involved with my alma mater securing a $2 million bequest from a very successful alumni... the new wing of the business school is being dedicated to him.
  24. It looks like the shadow is trying to touch the shadow in front of him's junk...
  25. I would love to be able to more easily quote things across threads.
