AFC North Recap
Ravens
Record- 10-6
Coaching- John Harbaugh is a slightly above average coach. He has good play everywhere except quarterbacks. If I were the Ravens I would have kept LaMar Jackson in the game instead of putting in Flacco. People are forgetting how good he looked before the playoff game. He just had a bad game and he needs the experience, plus he is the future of the franchise.
Offense- Your offense has a great running game. You need better weapons to throw to, like a wide receiver that Jackson can throw to. So when he gets a lot of pressure off the edge in his face he can throw a 50/50 ball up to that guy. If this happens then your offense could be really good. You can play action off of your run and throw deep balls to that guy.
Defense- Your defense is so good. Your defensive line has been put over the top with the speed rusher; Brandon Williams. The secondary could use one more defensive back in the third or fourth round. And a younger, faster linebacker. And you guys will be the best defense in the league.
Overall Grade- B
Steelers
Record- 9-6-1
Coaching- They coaching is okay. Mike Tomlin has his ups and downs. Randy Fichtner ran a top five offense. Keith Butler ran a top ten defense. Mike Tomlin can’t challenge or clock manage to save his life. However, it isn’t Mike Tomlin’s fault that Le’veon Bell and Antonio Brown are toxic to the team. It’s the front office’s fault. Mike Tomlin coaches the football team.
Offense- The offense was great. Some people say it wasn’t very good, but when the offense has to go 80+ yards almost every drive the offense was really good. The real reason the Steelers lost was because of special teams. Constantly having bad punt returns and kick-off return. This isn’t Ryan Switzer’s fault, it’s the blockings fault. Big Ben had one of his best years yet.
Defense- The defense was so much better. In overall defense the Steelers were 6th in the league. It’s hard for them too when the special teams gives up returns to the 40 yard line. All the defense needs is more big, splash plays. LIke interceptions and fumbles with big returns.
Overall Grade- C-
Browns
Record- 7-8-1
Coaching- Hue Jackson is trash. MIke McCarthy is okay. If I were you guys I would keep Freddy Kitchens and Greg Williams should stay because of how well they did with a 5-3 record. I think they should give them both one year contracts and see how the work. If it pans out the Browns will look like geniuses and will do well. And if it doesn’t everyone will give them a free pass because they are the Browns.
Offense- Baker Mayfield looked great. Nick Chubb looked great. I think that you guys should draft Hollywood Brown. You need better weapons. Other than that Baker Mayfield is so great and I think that he can be an all time great. I am rooting for you guys. Make the playoffs! You can do it!
Defense- Your defense is okay. Myles Garrett hasn’t developed as well as he was supposed to. Jabrill Peppers has been developing okay and looks pretty good, but has had some clutch plays. Your pass defense is top ten for sure, but the run defense is average.
Overall Grade- A-
Bengals
Record- 6-10
Coaching- Marvin Lewis is finally gone. Now what? Mike Brown has no direction, all they have done is interviewed Hue Jackson, Bill Lazor, and Darrin Simmons. I feel bad for the city of Cincinnati and Bengals fans. This team has bad contracts, no offense, no defense, and no future. This is by far the least attractive job by a landslide.
Offense- AJ Green is a god. Joe Mixon is a god. But Andy Dalton is not the answer at the quarterback position. The offensive line needs work. Tyler Eifert can’t stay healthy You guys definitely need to tank and get some draft capital to get a QB and a #2 wide receiver.
Defense- The secondary is declining. Vontaze Burfict sucks now. The defensive line is declining. You need defensive stars in the draft. The defense is giving up a ton of points. The Bengals need a makeover on defense.
Overall Grade- D
