Greetings, Cleveland Browns supporters!
I am unable to locate the job description “Deep expert on the coaching style and philosophy of Seahawks offensive line coach Andy Dickerson” among the various duties compiled under the moniker “webdork.”
Unfortunately, yesterday’s big topic was the Browns’ interview with the prospective offensive coordinator, which is probably what I should talk about in this early-morning slot. Regretfully, I doubt I can add much to what the writers on this site have already said, or are likely to say, given their job duties, which do include, among other things, having a passing familiarity with NFC West offensive line coaches.
Unfortunately, my self-made job title may seem that I work all day rebooting servers and repairing coding issues, but in reality, my actual job description is “everything other than the actually useful writing.” I usually leave things like that to far more knowledgeable people who can offer more insight into topics like the strategy Mr. Dickerson would employ and how it relates to the football players you see on the field.
Thus, my actual work here consists of establishing the procedures that we use to maintain the OBR machine in addition to serving users, selling sponsorships, and handling accounting. As part of that, I have to make sure the OBR is competitive in the market for Cleveland Browns-related content, which is a challenging challenge for me.
Last week, I leased a brand-new Mercedes—actually, no, it’s a much more ordinary car—and I made a $1,000 down payment. A feature of the Webdorkian way of life is austerity. In any case, I spoke with a man at the dealership who was an avid supporter of the Browns when I completed the loan. He adores the team, lighting fireworks with every goal, and celebrates every game. adores the Browns Readers that fit our description.
The Orange and Brown Report was something he was unaware of.
He’d heard more than enough by the time we shook hands and I took the keys. However, part of the issue we have here is making our identity known in a large field of cacophonous voices, all vying for your attention when discussing the Cleveland Browns. Big players in the game have well-known URLs that casual followers search for with great enthusiasm. Aggregators that consumers find through Google or Yahoo are rewriting other people’s investigation work and manipulating Google algorithms for financial gain. Some individuals create clickbait by deceptively reworking the works of others. Fans are making an effort to get a foothold. Many are plotting to get a piece of the Browns’ lucrative pie.
Additionally, people are already using AI programs to scrape content from other people’s writing and submit it to Google. Algorithms are always receiving a never-ending supply of repeated nonsense, which is then thrust into sports fans’ faces worldwide. It’s not just Browns, actually. It goes beyond sports. It’s everywhere, on every topic. On the curve, all we are is a dot.
In this sea of garbage, how can a connoisseur of superior Browns content be distinguished? Is there really a market for quality content as opposed to copy-and-paste rewrites made for pennies or sensational faux controversy? Or is there a tiny niche for unique content that appeals to picky fans?
Think of the Orange and Brown Report as an odd study to learn more. My real job is to try and find a method to make something unique in a world full of monotonous, repetitive things, all while making a living. We’ve succeeded in dating after more than 20 years of effort. Now, though, I’m taking some chances and attempting to see whether there’s a larger audience for it. I’ve asked Jake and others to take up some of the daily tasks of getting the tales onto the site so I can focus on the half-dozen or so projects I have going on that are related to this topic.
That’s why I’m not writing about Andy Dickerson this morning and where my thoughts are right now. He couldn’t have had it too bad, though, because he was Quentin Nelson’s coach. I’ll make an effort not to be offended by that. Still, though.
While I rush out and try to figure out how to make the OBR as well-known as “Chomps,” the guy in the fuzzy dog costume who wanders around the stadium, we have a solid slate of items in the works for today.
With the off-season well underway, Jake and Andrew take questions from listeners on any variety of Browns subjects, from scheme, tendency, or performance to more comprehensive team-based analysis. Today’s topics include the in-house free agents and who the guys believe to be the players they need to keep around in 2024, the OC interview we know about and what it might mean with Andy Dickerson, and why the hire is critical to determining what they see as the biggest weakness of last year’s group.
