I am most concerned that Gordon allegedly knew about this since "early winter". Did he not tell the team like it was going to go away? Did the league not tell the team about the failed screening at the same time they told Gordon? That would mean that the team knew at least 4 months before the draft and did nothing.
Still not a believer in Farmer's level of gray matter.
And lest anybody doubt it, the starting QB will be whoever Gentleman Jimma Haslam says it will be. I seriously doubt neither Farmer or Pettine will EVERY stand up to the ol' southern boy with neck of red knowing how he just one day up and decided to fire his 2 top lieutenants.
Idiot. I try to sound like this clown to be funny, but they're really out there!
It's about time the Browns start doing what they've been wanting to do since ........... forever, run the ball and stop the run. If they do that, the receivers won't be such a big deal.
Please. Seattle has decent recievers sufficient to threaten defenses.
Without decent recievers, defenses can stack the box and run-blitze to stop any running game. If just one run is stopped cold on first down it's second and ten. Get it?
Everybody just sit down and relax. There's still plenty of time to get a receiver, if needed. Does anyone think there are any 1600 + receivers out there? Receiving just might be done by committee this year.
...Huh?
I'm hoping the Brows can get some mileage out of the guys on their roster. Tori Gurley's been a bit of a journeyman in his still yet short NFL career, but you never know. I seem to recall James Harrison bounced around a number of camps until he clicked with the Steelers. Likewise, I'd like to see what Charles Johnson can do, he's got the size, played at a relatively small school, according to previous scouting reports, ran in the 4.4/4.5 range, encouraging that he Packers had him on their practice squad, like the OT LSU product Faulk, had the ACL injury before he even got here. Haven't heard much about Johnson or Faulk, but they are reasons to have some hope. I also wonder, hey were fans right? about the plan for Marquis Gray, I watched him play our here at Minnesota for a number of years and his junior year as a wide out he performed very well, he's bulked up a bit to play the te role, but I'm wondering if he lost 10 pounds that he could be in the mix and see what he can do as well. Seeing quite a few big ten games out this way, I saw quite a bit of Iowa and the backer the Browns got in round 3 is a player. The hawkeyes lb's play a lot of different roles, Christian is a physical player, to me his cover skills are almost like having a third safety on the field, a nice compliment for Dansby. Lastly, I want to chime on the espn piece regarding rumblings about the league changing gears on marijuana. Maybe too much hope here, but hoping Josh's alleged violation will be viewed in the light of whatever this new policy will be put in place.
No comment. Not dumb.
There was another one...from some clown who...writes everything he writes...like this...with the pauses...you know? I guess...he thinks it's...profound or...something.
There was debate about the national perception of the Browns. Some sheisskoffs ranked then 32 out of 32 in their power rankings.
The reality is that opinions are mixed, and many view the Browns as contenders IF they fix wide reciever. Johnson might be smart enough to recognize the very talented team this is.
1: QB: Johnson will probably fall for the bullcrap about Hoyer, but be interested by Manziel.
2: RB: Need you ask?
3: Added to Thomas and Mack are Bitonio and McQuistan. As Peter Smith of Dawg Pound Daily points out, not only Bitonio, but McQuistan could challenge Schwartze at right tackle, but both fit as zone-blocking guards, and Bitonio will be exceptional. A very, very strong offensive line.
4: TE: Johnson would like working with Cameron.
5: Johnson will understand that the defense has replaced Jackson with Dansby, added Kirksey to dramaticly improve coverage, will now field an elite corps of shut-down cornerbacks, and added the hardest-hitting safety in football. A great 3-4 AND 4-3 defensive line, and (a player should know) the outside passrush will obviously improve.
True, Johnson knows he's on his last legs, and wants a Superbowl more than anything else. There are other teams with better prospects this season, and nothing is certain next season. But unless the Patriots free up some space, the other teams can't pay the price in draft picks or money.
As for the assertion by the homer writer that Johnson won't go anywhere due to his contract, that's just plain dumb. After june first, the dead cap-space goes down to around seven million, the bulk of that money is not guaranteed, and the contract is reasonable for at least this season, after which it could be re-negotiated.
Oh yes, it could: A 33-year old player will take less in order to get a greater portion of it paid as a bonus, or guaranteed.
Johnson is no doubt fading, and can't be expected to be what he was in his prime, but he has the size and the hands to remain a reliable target worth a little under eight million to this team this year.
Worth a third round pick or lower, which a team devoid of leverage might be inclined to accept.
I don't hate taking older players this year. This is a very strong team which can contend right now, and this guy is still a difference-maker.
We'll see. The guy just got a great new coach, and he's not really being fair. He might well decide to stay.
