1: The Browns never attempted to trade Joe Thomas. Other teams attempted to trade for Joe Thomas.
2: There is no way the "asking price" for Joe Thomas is a very low second round draft pick.
2a: Sashi Brown is not insane, or stupid.
3: Hue Jackson was sincere. He wants to keep Cody Kessler in one piece. The front office is not trying to trade Joe Thomas...but they are answering the phone.
The Browns are not going to trade Joe Thomas...cheap.
Joe is a very rare person. He wants to stay with the Browns, simply because he likes it here. Gary Barnidge is like that, too. Terrelle Pryor at least sounds like he feels the same.
Aren't you sick of mercenaries like Jordon Cameron and Alex Mack? Give me the Barnidges and Thomases. They have actual hearts and souls. As such, they are born leaders. They want to win as much as anybody else, but they're willing to fight for it. They don't always seek the path of least resistance, and can't be bought for an extra twenty cents.
While these things aren't "analytical", Sashi Brown seems to understand their value as well as Hue Jackson does.
Remember, Mitchell Schwartze had an offer on the table. He insisted on visiting other teams, leaving that offer on the table. When he came back, the table had been cleared. I think I was right about why.
4: I can't comment on the run defense...if you can call it that...against the Bengals, but I saw a pass rush last week, and the week before.
The universe predicts a close game with the Jets winning.
I think the Browns will win.
Updated w/l predictfion: 9-7.
Late add: The Steelers, who James Harrison plays for, are upset that Suh kicked Big Ben. That's just plain funny.
...oh God it never stops! Jay Cutler for Haden AND a second-round pick! These people aren't sterilized? They let them vote? Wow.
