Nick Snook covers what Dorsey and Kitchens said about Kush, Teller, and the Right Guard slot.
Actually, Wyatt Teller looks like he will get all up in Eric Kush's face in a hurry.
*Doug Dieken doesn't see the switch from the left to right side as the issue that other former offensive linemen do. While I still think Doug is taking it too lightly, I can see how a converted Defensive End like Teller has as good a chance to make that work as any guard. Doug even said that some guys don't even bother to change their stances (you know which hand is down; which foot is forward and stuff?)*
Teller started the last part of his rookie season as a guard for the Bills, so he is ahead of schedule, and has already overcome some of the deficiencies and bad habits which got him drafted as low as he was.
The 2019 Bills Offensive Line is projected to rank below the Browns, but Teller was made available when the Bills signed four veteran free agents (including a center an 2 guards) and drafted LT Cody Ford.
I didn't dig into this, okay? But Ford is a legit Left Tackle and might well kick the 2019 starter inside and stuff.
Make no mistake: John Dorsey traded for Wyatt Teller in an effort to upgrade Right Guard soonest.
Who in Cleveland isn't rooting for Braxton Miller?
Freddie Kitchens is refreshingly honest in describing how they're fast-tracking Miller in, and how they expect to use him.
Braxton Miller is first and formost a guy who turns little plays into big plays in the open field with his instincts and quickness.
So far, we haven't seen this in the pros, let alone since he's been a Cleveland Brown.
Stay Tuned!
Freddie or John didn't spell this out, but I did a few posts ago...partly:
The 2019 Browns are stacked at WR and RB, including slot guys. Braxton Miller can be the knuckleball player:
He might only be on the field for 11-15 Offensive plays, but he could line up anywhere, and (given the other Browns skill-players) can not be prioritized in any way. He can't be double-covered; will never have the top man corner on him, see?
For most of those offensive downs, Braxton Miller won't do much. He can and will block, of course, but if he gets 4-5 "touches", all but 1 or 2 of those might be unimpressive.
But the other 1 or 2 plays? Home runs.
Try to stay with me here:
1: Baker Mayfield is the Miller's Quarterback now. In Houston, Miller had some Watson and more guys named Joe, and DeShaun Watson isn't as accurate as Mayfield (just the facts man).
2: The Texans are loaded at WR.
3: John Dorsey has free agency OCD, and compulsively signs every player he ever liked but couldn't draft: He wished he could have had Miller.
3a: Dorsey is usually right, eventually.
A note on this: Some NFL Radio guy gave Andy Reed all the credit for having traded up to draft Patrick Mahomes.
Bullshit. John Dorsey did that.
I don't doubt that Reed wanted and lobbied for Mahomes, but John Dorsey made that decision, and engineered it.
Just the facts, man.
Okbye.
