  • Jefferson is a solid pass rusher. Six sacks last year. D-line is looking stacked.

     Another 3 tech.  The DL vision is starting to come together.  Clearly they want a bit more from the interior rotation after some late season gassing.  Also gives the ability to spell Dalvin a bit more on passing downs this season, who can play all over the front.    Ika has has his time to shine soon as that shade.  I need some run stops from him, even with some limited minutes.  

    Browns sign TE/fullback Giovanni Ricci and Tony Brown - a couple of special teamers. 

     Not enough attention being given to this.   One of these guys will be a quasi/spot starter.  Nick Harris and Harrison Bryant have been the one's pulling upback duty for the last couple seasons in various offensive packages.   Now you have a body in there actually more suited to play some lead without giving too many personnel tips and actually making that position more functional beyond just purely situational.

    Is it me, or are the Stealers having a better FA than we are? Wilson is a clear upgrade over Pickett, and they signed Patrick Queen for 3yr/41 million. Could we have afforded that?

    I would give JOK 3yr 35M rather than overpay for Queen

    41M especially with the way it's structured isnt a overpay for Queen. Raven fans want to argue he simply benefitted from Smith but there are plenty that would argue the opposite. He's still incredibly young. 

    I also agree on Jok. Better off paying your own, especially when they deserve the bag.

    Derrick Henry to the Ravens

    This division just doesn't let up

    Good.  I don’t think he has a lot of tread left on those tires and 700 more carries than a guy like Josh Jacobs who got essentially a one year deal with team options later.

    He doesn't. He's not the same hb he was and because of some big contracts on their roster they didn't have much choice. He will be fine but it's not some monster signing for them.

    He's only 25 and played on teams known for their defense, now going on his third. Signing a one year deal, sounds like they are taking a chance on him, I hope it works out.

  • CLEVELAND, Ohio — If Browns new linebacker Devin Bush Jr. needs some directions around the team facility or even some tips on where to grab a bite in town after signing his one-year deal here on Thursday, he can always ask his dad, Devin Bush Sr.

    The elder Bush played free safety for the Browns in the early years of their comeback, starting seven games in 2001 and nine in 2002. The 2002 season was the year the fledgling Browns went 9-7, finished second in the AFC North.

  • Schefter: Ex-Steelers LB Devin Bush Signing With Browns - Steelers Depot

    This article doesn't sound too encouraging. I was going to post some snippets from it but it won't allow me to highlight anything.

    It basically says the Steelers moved up to draft him, he tore his ACL, and his production took a nose dive after he came back, struggling to get off blocks.

    It also talked about his 18 tackle game as a Seahawk vs the Steelers and said that his play didn't match the gaudy numbers. 

    I wouldn't get your hopes up but I'm willing to give him a chance.

    Yeah, I'm just looking at him as Takitaki's replacement. Not going to expect him to all the sudden prove his first round draft status with us.

    He sucks. He tore up his knee and hasn't been the same since. Gets lost in traffic, when he was still a steeler most had hoped he would get beyond it but he never did. I assume he's dirt cheap but unless something dramatically changes he's just going to piss you all off.

    He had a seriously weak game. Accumulated a bunch of tackles but not a single one was of the impact variety. 18 tackles half way down the field.

    So we didn't sign Ohio State's backup QB to play LB for the Browns? ?

    When I heard about the Browns interviewing Bush today, I kept thinking they were talking about Devin White, and couldn't understand why they didn't seem real high on the guy. ?

    Shenanigans, Vag. Straight up shenanigans in my head today.

    Seriously though, has the Steelers ever drafted, traded or signed a player you thought was no good, and on the flippy flip, has a player ever left the Steelers that you thought was still a very good player?

    I mean, Kenny Pickett my man. You tried so hard to convince, well, maybe yourself that he was a viable NFL starting QB.

    It's basically what I said. He played for two teams that are known for strong defense and developing their defensive players and he's only 25. So if he couldn't make it on a Mike Tomlin or Pete Carroll defense, the one year deal is pretty telling. Right now I'm looking at him as just a warm body taking a spot but I hope he can get it together. I'm going to give him a chance because I really wasn't expecting Flacco to do what he did. You never know.

    Edit

    But I don't understand this move, why bring in a guy just to take up a spot? Do they really think he has something to give us? Why not go after Devin White? I'm basically looking at this is that they got him on the cheap and if he turns into something then it's a bonus. They COULDN'T have looked at him and said " This guy is going to be an all-pro for years to come". And I am also kind of questioning not taking Bobby Wagner over Jordan Hicks. Wagner has been an excellent defender over the years.

    Kenny pickett had Matt Canada his entire career outside of one game. The jury isn't out there. Mason rudolph wasn't and isn't some offensive savant and the o was moving pretty good once Canada got fired. 

    Beyond that absolutely on guys that got away. Hargrave is a good example, Steven Nelson, Holmes was still good, Emmanuel Sanders, James Connor but he kept getting hurt on the steelers probably would have kept him around. The team doesn't really let defensive players go that are still tip top and Ben for a while had us losing guys because of his contract. Rod Woodson was still good.

    I would 100% take Pickett over deshaun watson. ?
