  • Thanks for the post. It's been quiet here on Rogers for ages. I say we keep him if his fitness is good, I love to see the big fella break through the line and put pressure on the QB. 1st in QB pressures and only dropping to 3rd when considering DTs in the mix is a beastly score. Rubin's stats sees him better on the run, there is certainly depth going on down in the trenches.

    I haven't heard an update on Roger's injury last season - any updates known?

    Tailgate loving, Steelers hating, Trans-Atlantic Browns fan. Annually disappointed since '88. Annually optimistic since '88. GO BROWNS!

  • Great article and comparisons of our 2 killer NTs...a lot of people want to see rogers traded because he is aging and pretty average against the run but i believe both rogers and rubin are being asked to do different things and both have their place and function on the team they offer an incredible one two punch option while keeping the position relatively fresh legged at the same time, we should only consider trading rogers if its an offer that cant be refused and the scout team has already found a potential high octane replacement...i believe we should rebuild the defense around this tagteam tandem...😉

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

    I was curious about his injury myself. I looked everywhere but couldn't find an update so I assumed he is fine and ready for the season. If anyone has an update I would love to know for sure. Thank you.

  • Great post on Rogers / Rubin thanks for sharing.

    DON'T TRADE BIG ROG! The guy is a freakin beast ...

  • These two make a great duo. They both are great situational players. Play Rubin on run downs and Rogers as a 3rd down pass rusher. We already know Rogers isnt a every down player so keepem both. DONT TRADE ROGERS!!!!!

    I'll add to that,

    Play Rogers at end and Rubin at Nose on run downs. Play Rogers on passing downs.

  • ya, hes too good to let go. move him to end if anything, but you don't let a player like that leave your team.

  • The problem with Rogers is that he freelances and doesn't keep to his assignments. He plays when he wants to. Not saying we should trade him but we played better defense without him. Kris Jenkins in NY was an ANIMAL for Mangini because the dude gave it his all every down and was a leader on and off the field. Shaun Rogers needs to grow up and be a leader. Then his worth to the Browns will be maximal.

    That's a problem for the coaching staff only in the sense that they have to cover their ass for the guy playing behind Rogers. Put in a LB that guesses right on his own freelances and you have a group of play makers in the middle and not just a big guy working it and a bunch of unlucky turds behind him that only make tackles when someone runs into them.

    I'd keep both Rogers and Rubin. It's not the year to over look play makers (is it ever?).

  • DT Corey Peters on Browns’ draft radar

    By Carlos "Big C" Holmes | Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 11:58 AM

    The Cleveland Browns are proving that they’ll leave no stone unturned in their search of defensive tackle prospects in this year’s NFL draft. University of Kentucky defensive tackle Corey Peters is the latest prospect to be linked to the club.

    Peters worked out for Cleveland a week ago and impressed members of the coaching staff. He has generated some interest around the league working out for New England as well. He is scheduled to visit the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans this week.

    In a draft class deep at the D-tackle position, the underrated tackle won’t take a back seat to anyone.

    “I’m extremely confident in my abilities,” Peters said. “I feel like I’m better than a lot of the guys out there. I’m on the cusp of being everything I can possibly be as a player. I have a lot of upside and have been training for the NFL since I stepped on campus.”

    The 6-foot-3, 302-pound Peters led the SEC in tackles-for-loss and sacks among his peers this past season. He was first-team All Conference Coaches and second-team AP.

    Peters is gifted athletically, aggressive and can do a lot of things in the trenches. He’s a good overall player but does have some flaws. Peters must improve on his upper body strength and finishing plays. His strength has improved, which was made evident at the school’s Pro Day when he banged out 26 reps of 225 pounds. He put up some pretty good numbers during the workout to increase his draft stock.

    The Browns play a 3-4 defense, which could be a challenge for Peters, who would likely line up at nose tackle.

    “I talked to several teams about playing nose and it’s something I’m open to,” he said. “I’ve never played the position before, but I feel like I’m an extremely smart player who can pick up on anything.”

    Making the transition to nose tackle shouldn’t be too difficult for the two-time SEC Academic Honor Roll student. His versatility, physical tools and intelligence should help him become an impact player. He has often been compared to Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko for his play.

    “I pride myself on leading by example,” Peters said. “I’ve never been a hype man or rah-rah guy and took my academics very seriously. I just want to be a professional player and take care of business on the field.”
