  • Holding calls IMO come from OLinemen who are either slow to get off the ball/react to stunts or have bad/slow feet. 

    Honestly, I'd kind of expect someone his size to exhibit some or all of that, but so far, so good.

    So much potential there. If he keeps improving, it is his position, and I doubt we see much more of Conklin.

    Now if only he had a big, or slightly littler brother who could plat LT!

    I'd think Conklin's days with the Browns are over, I'm sure the Browns would save a ton of money if Jones replaced Conklin, which will come in handy in the very near future.

    Plus, Conklin is always hurt.

    Didn't they extend his contract length and salary amount this past off-season?  I thought I read that on the Browns website.  I can't remember how much cake, if any, they guaranteed.  It's too bad because in 1 respect Conklin is the ultimate professional and very talented when healthy.  The problem is what you alluded to about him never being healthy. He tries to play through injuries a lot; but that has made him vulnerable to collateral injuries.

    Now for the blind side, I think the Browns have already blindly committed to Jed's 5 year option.

    Committing to Jed is like committing suicide....

    Conklin should really consider retiring at this point. I believe he restructured before this season into a 3 year deal. 

    Jones is Conklin's longterm replacement at RT. Not sure what they will do at LT. Some have hypothesized that Jones could be the LT, I just don't know about that. I'd probably stick with him at RT and try and fix the LT problem. (Easier said than done)

  • Help or no help Jones is off to a great start.  His biggest job will be weight management.   He can’t come into camps overweight and heavy footed.

    Easier said than done…is spot on.  Pat Kirwan made a point a couple weeks ago about expansion football.  A caller mentioned the need for the NFL to expand in London and Berlin and other places- Kirwan pointed to the lack of blindside protectors as a concern when you are adding teams.  He mentioned there are a good number of teams that have no answer and no options at that spot.  That’s an issue if you are trying to protect 230M investments.

    The market will be interesting this coming offseason and I don’t think we will have the financial capability to play in it.

    Regarding Conklin- yep, the Browns are on the hook for a lot of dead cap for Jack. Not only 2024, but 2025 as well- unless he takes a retirement buyout. 

    Remains to be seen if he'll try to come back from that ACL injury next year. 

    And old Jed's a millionaire- the Browns picked up his fifth year 2024 option for $16 million.  At best he's average, and at worst a liability.

    I agree.  Conklin has had nothing but bad luck trying to stay healthy.  I think we got into this mess at Left Tackle in the first place by taking Wills who is better suited to play Right Tackle thinking it'll be an easy re-wire.  We was wrong.  Let's keep Jones in his comfort zone where he has a chance to develop into something great.

    He might be an old sourpuss, but as far as the comment you are reacting to goes, he isn't wrong.

    That there is a Gruden doll-so entirely appropriate for a football player.?

  • Re-posting this from the Flacco thread with h/t to @texasag1969

    Wow! Just wow. 100% pass protection success against TJ Watt. No pressures, hurries, nada, bupkis! We were impressed by his size from day one, but look at his footwork, the awareness, and his refined use of hands. It is all there!

    What a pick! If we re-draft today based on current play, I say Dawand goes first round. Possibly top 10. This kid is worth his considerable weight in gold!
