Die Hard Browns Fan: Taco

It's back! The always-popular Interview with a Die Hard Browns Fan feature is back and better than ever.

For this installment, I talked with a coworker of mine. His name is Taco (he's the one on the left) and he's a tried and true Browns fan. In fact, he's been featured on 19 Action News for a story they did about how Mondays after a Browns loss are depressing.

Taco is a Willoughby Hills native and has loved the Browns for a long time. His opinions are thoughtful and straightforward. Like me, Taco tries his best to stay optimistic even when it appears there is no hope.

So, without further ado, I give you the Blawg Pound Interview with a Die Hard Browns Fan.

The Defense is Not Bad

“What,” you say, “Are you crazy?” No, I’m not crazy … I’m simply being objective. While I admit, the Browns defense still needs some big improvements, anyone who knows me reads “not bad” as pretty high praise.

Let me explain … for the 2011 season, the Cleveland Browns defense is ranked No. 10!!! Yes, you read that correctly … the Browns have a Top 10 defense.

Colt is Not the Problem (and neither is Shurmur)

Don’t be shocked by my posting two days in a row or it’ll dilute the message I’m trying to get across. As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, I’ve decided to delve a little further into my opinions on the Cleveland Browns.

First, and foremost, Colt McCoy is not the problem. I repeat, Colt McCoy is not the problem. Is Colt McCoy the long-term quarterback solution for the Browns? The answer is: maybe. Maybe Colt is our QB for years to come, but it’s too soon to make that call.

Colt McCoy has shown he can compete in the NFL. He’s a great young QB who deserves a chance no other Browns QB in the past dozen years has gotten. A chance to have a team built around him … A chance to play with all the tools necessary.

What Did You Expect?

Obviously, I haven’t blogged much this year. I can make up a lot of excuses, but it doesn’t make any difference. It’s not that I’m a fair weather blogger, who only blogs when the Browns are playing well (if that was the case, The Blawg Pound would never have existed in the first place).

The truth is, I’ve simply been too busy and this isn’t at the top of my list of priorities. That’s all.

I still watch the Browns every single week. From start to finish, I watch every down. Unfortunately, I’ve kept most of my opinions to myself and let others do all the talking (complaining).

Dammit, Keith! Go Browns!

This was good luck two years ago when the Browns beat the Steelers on Thursday Night Football ...



Go Browns!
