Leave It To The Browns To Ruin The Post-Win Locker Room Video

I love it when NFL teams post a video from inside a victorious locker room. I love to see Dan Campbell look down at his little stat sheet and shout, "O-line! Where's the O-line? One-hundred forty-four yards on the ground! Holy cow, men!" while losing his voice. I love it when a sheepish running back is given a game ball and asked to say something to the team, and all he can manage is, "Love y'all boys. Let's keep it going." I love when a doofy starting quarterback's voice cracks as he breaks down the huddle. I even love it when Ben Johnson rips his shirt off. So of course the Cleveland Browns, the most dispiriting and despicable 5-2 team in the league, have managed to suck all the juice out of the format. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYej7wvFKvQ Our first big problem here is that Todd Monken is an absolute dud. He's carrying himself throughout this speech like he's condescending to a Home Depot employee. "I don't know how much we rushed for, but that looked like how we want it to look like." Excuse me? No, you idiot. Where is your stat sheet? You have to yell the yardage number so everyone can cheer. And what's this, you're telling me that you weren't sure if Denzel Ward was going to play, but then he did play, and of course you should have known that he was going to? Amazing story, coach, thank you.
