CAN THE BROWNS BE SOMETHING?
With Jackson: 58.3 percent completions, 6.59 yards per pass, 20 sacks, 78.9 rating.
With Kitchens: 71.8 percent complestions, 8.66 yards per pass, 5 sacks, 111.1 rating.
With Kitchens: 71.8 percent complestions, 8.66 yards per pass, 5 sacks, 111.1 rating.
So GM John Dorsey’s got a tough decision on his hands after the season. Does he:
• Blow up the whole coaching staff and start over with a hot candidate like Josh McDaniels or Lincoln Riley, giving Mayfield his third offensive boss in nine months—and perhaps risking alienating the franchise quarterback, who has grown to like and respect Kitchens?
• Keep Gregg Williams as head coach and try to keep Kitchens as offensive coordinator, and build a staff around them?
• Keep Kitchens as offensive coordinator and find a head coach who would allow Kitchens offensive autonomy?
• Keep Williams as head coach, hope Kitchens chooses to stay, but if he doesn’t, allow Williams to hire his own offensive coordinator?
Compared to the alternatives, those are relatively nice problems to have. But they won’t be easy to solve. For now, it’s best to let this incredible year play out. The Browns, for the first time since the outlier 10-6 season, are playing for something the week before Christmas, and this fun offense is a big reason why.

-KRUKOW THINKS BUM IS PISSED---GOOD.
PAT VINDETTE = SWITCH PITCHER --
he Giants are close to a deal with ambidextrous relief pitcher Pat Venditte, per source. They might have a switch-pitcher in their bullpen. Venditte broke through with A's in 2015 and had a 2.57 ERA in 15 appearances for Dodgers last season.
Venditte has faced 143 batters as a right-handed pitcher and 135 as a left-hander. Left-handers have a .186 career batting average while right-handers have had far more success, posting a .279 average.
Venditte is a natural right-hander who was taught how to pitch left-handed by his father to give him a competitive advantage. Veditte uses a six-finger that allows him to switch to either hand. According to MLB rules, Venditte must declare which hand he is going to pitch with before the batter steps into the box.

HAVANA -- Major League Baseball, its players' association and the Cuban Baseball Federation reached an agreement that will allow players from the island to sign big league contracts without defecting, an effort to eliminate the dangerous trafficking that had gone on for decades.
The agreement, which runs through Oct. 31, 2021, allows Cubans to sign under rules similar to those for players under contract to clubs in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

RAIDERS: PETERMAN? WTF --GRUDEN HAS TO BE IN CHARGE
| Freezing Cold Takes (@OldTakesExposed) | |
KING:
nthony Lynn, Chargers: 17-4
Sean McVay, Rams: 15-5
Andy Reid, Kansas City: 15-6
Sean Payton, New Orleans: 15-6
Bill Belichick, New England: 14-6
Sean McVay, Rams: 15-5
Andy Reid, Kansas City: 15-6
Sean Payton, New Orleans: 15-6
Bill Belichick, New England: 14-6
This is a totally arbitrary number, 21 games. But the record is a mark of how good the Chargers have been over the last 13 months, and what a good job Lynn has done.
his thought occurred to me examining the PFF grades at each position through 14 weeks: If I were a GM and needed help on the offensive line in 2019, I might look extra harder at the draft. The five richest contracts given to free-agent offensive linemen last spring, and how they have performed in 2018:
Nate Solder, tackle, N.Y. Giants, $15.5-million average compensation. Played better lately, but the highest-paid tackle in NFL history is only the 17th-best left tackle and 36th-best overall tackle, per PFF ratings.
Andrew Norwell, guard, Jacksonville, $13.3-million average compensation. Better than Solder, but the second-highest-paid guard of all-time is PFF’s 13th-rated guard in the NFL this year.
Ryan Jensen, center, Tampa Bay, $10.5-million average compensation. Only three starting centers in the league are rated lower than Jensen, who has flopped in Tampa. He’s been penalized nine times and given up nine QB hits, each the most in the league for a center.
Weston Richburg, center, San Francisco, $9.5-million average compensation. Just three spots better than Jensen, Richburg is the 32nd-rated center in the league, and has allowed a porous 27 sacks/hits/significant pressures.
Justin Pugh, guard, Arizona, $9-million average compensation. His season ended in mid-November with a knee injury that forced him to IR. But he hadn’t been playing well, and PFF has him the 53rd-rated guard in the league. And this is the fourth season in a row that Pugh’s total snaps have been less than the season before.

The Bears, with two games left, have 26 interceptions, the most in the NFL since the 2013 Seahawks (28). The 49ers have two, which would be a new record for the fewest in league history.
