    I don't believe that's at all why Haslem drafted Manziel though.

    He drafted Manziel for the glitz. He paid Bill Parcells 100 grand to evaluate the draftable QB's. Parcells said, Whatever you do don't draft Manziel. Haslam is a dope.

    So who told him to trade away all those draft choices for Watson?

    Good question. My best guess would be that he asked Berry something like, What the hell can we do about our QB position. Resulting in Berry researching options and presenting them to his boss. And since the Rams had just demonstrated with the trade of Goff for Stafford and subsequent super bowl victory, that may have been the path chosen.

  • While he wasn't the one that fucked up his gap responsibility, this is a reminder - DON'T be the nickel in this play.

    You get THAT CLEAR then you're CLEAR for takeoff!

    Interesting. It is just you or is anyone else having an issue? It's a public post so privacy settings shouldn't be an issue.

    I was unable to as well. Here's what stopped me (below) after I clicked on the play arrow:

    BA-BOOMBA! This guy not only shocked, located and shed - he also made the tackle immediately. That was a pretty informative way of the DT saying we're closed here without needing to say a word. Like the GREAT Paul Brown once said "When you win say little. When you lose say even less..."

    Thanks for the informative videos TJ!

    Might be a post that requires twitter.

  • If you wondered 'Why?' when it comes to the Browns taking EMW from Toledo. It isn't just that he's a great athlete.

    • Coach Kehres at Toledo ran a quarters based defense with a LOT of weakside (weak 3) safety rotations.

    • Coach Rutenburg is coming from an ATL DEF that played a TON of 2hi shell and weakside (weak 3) safety rotations

    The Dirty Birds defensive blueprint and how they valued the pairing of Jessie Bates + Xavier Watts tells us a great deal about what I expect to see more of come training camp.

  • I remember wanting the Browns to take Watts.

  • TBB community! Brainy Ballers is working hard to put the final touches on our fantasy football app before the upcoming season starts.

    It's a bit different than what you're used to. It amounts to a dynasty league but played in a manner similar to the stock market. Think - combining Robinhood + your favorite fantasy football app.

    Tossing in some screenshots.

    We're looking for beta testers in the next couple days. If this seems like something you're interested in, please DM or @ me your email address and I'll make sure you get an invite.

    Thanks,

    - The BB team

    It's Fantasy Football, just in a different format. You can have free leagues just as you'd have fee leagues.

    The dollar values, like the screenshots I posted above, are purely a simulated, "stock market like" type of presentation. It functions as users can "buy" shares of a player out of a pre-determined IPO pool.

    There's no actual money being exchanged (apart from league fees)

    Fantasy Football has been around for 30 years now.

    I should've added 'Just Saying' to my comment. I've been in many fantasy football leagues. And I've run my share of them. As a matter of fact, I've run a little Yahoo league for the last couple of years for my young grandsons to be part of....along with Mrs. Wife, their Mom and her boyfriend (we hate her ex husband...but the boys think of him as daddy) 😞

    I should've clarified that I've got no beef with fantasy football. But truly dislike all of the gambling around sports that there is in this day and age.

  • That’s pretty cool Tia. I’d like to help but l’ve never played a lick of fantasy football. My daughter has played for a few years though.

    I know I watched non-Browns games waaaaaaay more intently back when I played FF.

    My dad made up a fantasy football league back in the late 60s... had to get the Monday morning papers and manually add up all the points for the teams.

    I only watched a 'little' more. I haven't played in a competitive league in a loooong time. Not going to put that kind of research time into it anymore.

    Yeah, it's been like 15 years for me I think. I remember trading for Michael Vick when he was playing QB for the Eagles towards the end of my run, which should tell you how long ago it was.
