Neat-o!!!!

Re: Rebuilding the Browns
 

The CB with 98 spd sounds like Fabian Washington. I picked him up too. You'll find he's very useful for tracking those low-ovr, high speed WRs. He's also great with corner blitzes, definitely a better player than his ovr suggests.

I got Reggie Bush too, but kept him as second HB and also as 4th receiver. But I seldom run, instead include a lot of passes to HBs and FBs. Having Bush as both puts him all over the field, often in areas where he's up against weaker players.

Don't know about the Browns, but finding the strategies to rebuild the Seahawks and the Lions are completely different. Seattle's a good team of overall ok players; no great stars but reasonable depth. Detroit is the polar opposite; a few STAR players but they take so much cap space, which leaves little room for my usual ~80s pick strategy.

1st Game (Regular Season)
Lost to the Cards. They had a 28-21 lead in the 4th and I had the ball but I could not drive down field. When they got the ball back Chris Wells had 7 YPC so they easily won.
Offense I did great on Offense
Defense I played terrible on Defense. They passed and ran all over me. They have a QB with 85 SPD and Fitz. They worst part of this game is that they had 7 YPC. McCoy threw for 200 yards with 1 Rush TD 1 Fumble and 1 Pick. Joe Haden had pick six. Hope to do better next game
Player of Game (Me) Reggie Bush WR 5 Rec 109 Rec Yards

Re: Rebuilding the Browns
 

The Browns aren't tough to rebuild really. Just get a solid QB and WR. The O-line is rock solid.

Re: Rebuilding the Browns
 

Ground pound and the browns are synonymous to me. Just need someone to compliment peyton hillis. A speedy back or maybe a good run blocking tight end who can catch passes if needed like Heath Miller.

You have me wanting to rebuild a team now:59:....how are you rebuilding your defense with speed or strength?
