awesome stuff in this thread. good work, boyz.

"listen up, flappers, we go defense early, hoping Edward's from Vtech slips. I don't want to hear a bunch of moaning about the O-line, the fella from Dallas gonna have Cedric so sharp his elbows will put out an eye. If we get a chance at the Rudolph kid, let's get him in stripes in round 2. He's taller than Andy, right? Stronger arm? Good. Get him. You guys can handle Saturday and Sunday on your own."

Looks solid. I'm looking for a rb a bit earlier, though. Jones from USC looks like a sleeper. Chubb if he falls to r3. Ogbo Okoronkwo is a compelling edge rusher. This is a quietly good draft class.

I'e been making that mistake since they drafted him. That'll teach me to have a stroke.

Shazier is never playing again.

I have not seen the browns land guys of this caliber, after addressing the O-line last year. They also just added Carlos Hyde today. If they grab Saquon and Bradley Chubb they'll have made some real improvements. Bengals got Cordy Glenn in a (good) move that says Watson and Ogbuehi are busts. Let that sink in.

If he could stay healthy, he's a good returner, but isn't among your top 3 roster corners, isn't a safety and is 34 with a history of F ups. He's had neck issues back when, I wouldn't be surprised if he might be done. Or come back later in the season. He will play if he wants. Teams will (always) want a cheap vet corner, especially those with return skills.

Maybe I'm not seeing the topic discussed but where is the observation that Cleveland just made bold, sharp moves? Apologies if I missed any specific thread chatter.

This. A sailing ship in a regatta with jet boats, as Skipper Mikey trims the jib the jet boats disappear over the horizon. Don't worry lads, the wind is picking up and they've only so much fuel...

Black Jesus and Jeffro fucking? Lord help us, no one wants that image.

On a business note, I found this interesting: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22212592/atlanta-falcons-drop-prices-make-more-money-mercedes-benz-stadium-concessions Maybe Katie (pumpkin) can do a book report on this.

Hurt is a redshirt sophomore. /sarcasm alert/ You see, there's this thing called football practice. It's there that these football coaches gain insight about who is capable of doing football things. They wouldn't have put in the Frosh if they didn't already have a strong understanding and expectation of what he could do. Thing is, most NCAA teams don't have the abundance of talent from which to have such options, like at Alabama. Teams in the NFL have very rigid hierarchies, seniority, etc., so they don't dare take risks like that, because to have it go wrong and then be hounded, like Maroney was after he installed Peterman, or fired like McAdoo when he did the similar thing with Webb. NFL teams won't take a 'shake it up' gamble, unless it's a true changing the guard move. He didn't have much choice if he wanted to win. He had the talent, capabilities understood, to put in to see if they could overcome the deficit. I see it as his only option. It worked.

If it was about performance, he'd have been gone at other junctures. Yet, he survived several HCs and had short periods of success with others of awful play and bad personnel decisions. this move does smack of scapegoating but how can someone do worse. At minimum, there will be a new whipping boy, all fired up to get the most out of whoever ML and SoP pick for the oline in FA/draft.

we all know the definition of insanity. so, that's where we are. If the Brown family can't see how or why there are so many team in the playoffs who were bad the year before then there's no hope. as it is, there's no hope. You only have to point to Sean McVay to see what SHOULD happen: housecleaning. and it didn't so this garbage will continue. in the short tem, lets hope they sign a FA or two to the offensive line, grab a top LB or three in the draft and clean up the roster of the junk (Eifert, Ogbuehi, Fisher, Minter, Jones, Hill, Bodine, Smith, Winston)

having no coach is better than Alexander. I bet a trained dog would be better .
