    Yep. I'm saying the same thing.

    That would be awesome. I wouldn't expect Horton to last for long though because he is bound to be a hot HC candidate soon.

    If this is the case I am all in on Anthony Barr at #11 (assuming the top QBs are gone).

    Is Horton 100% out of CLE?

    I remember Whisenhunt very well..

    I recall hating him greatly when he was with Pittsburgh (being a Bengals fan).
    That offense was possibly the most physical of any team in the last 15 years. They had The Bus (and Ben and Ward) and knew exactly how to use him. Knock you out with a mixed attack early on then go all Bus exclusively if they had 7 points on you.

    They would simply stay on the field all day. This is the opposite of The Titans of 2005 or later.
    Pittsburgh also adjusted exceptionally well and completed third downs it seemed like every time they needed to.
    They also pulled off dramatic trickery ala Randall Ell/Ward Superbowl against Seattle.

    And if you don't remember how successful they were at beating the blitz via possibly the soundest screen game in NFL history you probably weren't watching Steeler football at all.

    This could be huge for us..

    If we learned one thing from this whole situation, it's that Ian Rapaport doesn't know a ****ing thing.

    Look on the bright side. He is not a damn oiler has been or a seattle transplant. New blood. Fresh perspective.
