"Fire Browns Ken Dorsey For Ruining Jameis Winston" Says NFL Vlogger Zennie Abraham YouTube Pioneer

    CLEVELAND, OH, December 19, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Oakland Vlogger and NFL Vlogger Zennie Abraham, a credentialed veteran blogger and vlogger of 20-straight NFL Drafts who's the first to cover the NFL Draft with a YouTube channel in 2006, and is now CEO of Zennie62Media, Inc., says he's had it with what he calls the "outsized" level of abuse sustained by Browns QB Jameis Winston over the years and has directed his criticism at Cleveland Browns Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey.

In a 24-minute vlog called "Browns Kevin Stefanski Benches Jameis Winston For DTR Costs Cleveland TV Prime Time Fire Ken Dorsey," Abraham calls Cleveland Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski's move to bench the Heisman Trophy winner "cowardly." The NFL Vlogger since 2006 says that Stefanski didn't meet with the press, grumbling that he "hid the news behind media no one ever heard of."

Abraham believes that Browns Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey set out to use Jameis Winston to mask his own shortcomings in designing effective passing attacks. "Ken Dorsey has this strategy," Abraham said: "draw up passes that are risky by design and if Winston throws touchdowns, Dorsey looks like a genius, but if Jameis throws interceptions, Ken blames him, and not himself."

Zennie says that the Browns situation the Heisman Trophy Winner from Florida State finds himself in is vastly different from that with the New Orleans Saints and Sean Payton in 2021. In that NFL Season, and in Coach Payton's Ball Control Passing Offense, Winston's stats were an impressive 14 TDs and just 3 interceptions over seven games. "It looks like Ken Dorsey is using Bruce Arians' plays from Jameis Winston's 30-30 2019 NFL Season with the Bucs," Abraham observed. "It's clear to me that there is some type of game going on that should be explained," he added.

In preparation for this release, Zennie Abraham notes that Ken Dorsey has never taken any blame for a bad offensive game this season, and Kevin Stefanski doesn't point to Dorsey either. "It's like the blind leading the blind," Zennie says, "they're so unstructured in their approach to the passing game, it's painful to listen to them talk."

For example, regarding the interceptions Jameis throws, both Dorsey and Stefanski say, "trust what your eyes see." Abraham claims that such an approach leaves the passing game execution to the individual quarterback, rather than having a standard way of reading defenses, dropping back, and throwing that each quarterback uses.

"Bill Walsh was famous for having a standard set of rules for his quarterbacks, from drop back to what kind of pass to throw, to reading defenses," Abraham said. "It's a key reason Joe Montana could be out sick and replaced by the unknown Jeff Kemp, who helped the Niners win the NFC West in 1986," Zennie said.

If you listen to Bill Walsh or disciples like Steve Mariucci, the quarterback learns a standard approach, and each QB in the room is expected to use it, from when the huddle is formed to the snap of the ball and the operation of the play, Zennie said. "If you think about that, it normalizes what the QBs see and makes correcting errors easier. You can't do that with Dorsey and Stefanski's 'leave it to the QB' approach."

"It is no wonder the Browns never get standard passing performance from their quarterbacks and wind up going through a whole slew of them. Jameis Winston's the latest victim of an approach that chased away Baker Mayfield, made Joe Flacco a hero until the opponents caught up with him, and pushed Jameis Winston to the bench for no good reason."

This is why Zennie believes the Browns need to fire Ken Dorsey: "They are not going to get better passers under his approach, just neurotic ones." Ken Dorsey is not NFL Offensive Coordinator material at this point, Zennie asserts.

What Makes Zennie Abraham The NFL Passing Game Expert?

So, how does Zennie know so much and where does his giant level of confidence come from? He says it developed after his discovery of how the Dallas Cowboys under Tom Landry used "feedback and control theory" in football strategy. "That's an engineering term for using data to test different plays and formations against defenses and then changing those plays based on what the data says," Zennie explains.

As someone who did not care for football but was forced to pay attention to it because his mother befriended Oakland Raiders Defensive Tackle Otis Sistrunk in 1976, Zennie discovered a book called "The Encyclopedic History of Pro Football," and the section on Tom Landry and his development of the Multiple Offense and the Flex Defense, and he was hooked. "My heart was for the Oakland Raiders and my brain loved the Dallas Cowboys," he said.

But his Cowboys interest was so deep he wrote a letter to the team regarding how the Flex Defense worked and was invited at the young age of 16 to visit the headquarters at 6116 N. Central Expressway in Dallas.

There, he was given six reels of film: Dallas Defense Real One, Dallas Defense Real Two, Flex Strong Quality Control, Flex Week Quality Control, Dallas Defense vs. The I Formation Reel One, and Dallas Defense vs. The I Formation Reel Two. "Then, Defensive Coordinator Ernie Stautner came out to give me a lecture on how the defense worked, and I shared with him a defensive breakdown where Randy White and Bob Breunig were both turned away from their hole assignments and Sam Cunningham ran 56 yards for a touchdown," Zennie said.

Zennie learned that the real advantage of The Flex Defense was quick analysis of how to stop a running game and how to fix a defensive mistake. And he said that stayed with him until the emergence of Bill Walsh's Ball Control Passing Attack. Like Landry, Walsh had a head for process and analysis that came to form his thinking about the passing game. Both men - people Zennie has met and, in Coach Walsh's case, interviewed - had a profound impact on how he thought about football to this day.

"From that experience," Zennie said, "I made my own football playbook and met Raiders Coach Lew Erber on a plane flight back home. He really liked my ideas and showed me where to improve my thinking," Zennie said. "And that was while in high school."

In college, Zennie continued his hobby while working on undergraduate and master's degrees in City Planning at Texas Arlington and UC Berkeley. The Internet spawned a number of football games where one could test their ideas, like Play Maker Football. Eventually, all of that led to a chance meeting with Jon Gruden at the Raiders Sponsor Party and an invitation to "chalk talk" Gruden gave Zennie, then a City of Oakland exec, that Zennie never found the time to do.

But when Zennie formed what became Zennie62Media, he would run into Gruden at Super Bowl parties and once draw ideas with him in 2004. Then, in 2018, Gruden was hired as the Raiders Head Coach and needed play ideas. Zennie came up with what he called "The Read-Option Jet Sweep."

"The idea was to make Raiders QB Derek Carr move in the pocket by design and to have a base running play that could quickly attack the off-tackle or become a read-option dive or roll-out pass. After testing different approaches, Zennie came up with the one he believed would work and took it to Gruden. The Raiders Head Coach had Raiders PR Honcho Will Kiss waiting for me in the lobby."

The result is the Raiders started using the play in the first game of the 2018 Preseason against the LA Rams, and Marshawn Lynch ran 62 yards for a touchdown. Derek Carr rolled out to complete passes to the tight ends and wide receivers downfield. "It was just a blessing to see my work in action," Zennie said. Now, his play concept has been used by the San Diego Chargers, NY Giants, and Miami Dolphins. But Zennie did not stop there.

In 2021, he created the NFL Eagle Offense, a four-by-one formation with plays deliberately designed to fit within a time window of 2 seconds, tops. Famed Airraid Passing Game Father Tony Franklin praised Zennie's playbook for a level of detail not seen by a normal fan of the game.

And that's because Zennie is anything but a normal fan of football; he's a lover of the technical aspect of NFL Football and a vlogger who's covered the NFL Draft for two decades and who has had rare engagements with some of the top minds in the history of the league. And that's why the Cleveland Browns should pay attention to what he says, release Ken Dorsey, and keep Jameis Winston.
