  • Wow, so in a 4-3, we need more D-linemen than Linebackers

    We currently have Robaire Smith (but he might be a FA that we won't resign, don't recall), Rubin, and a bunch of scrubs...

    We just cut Coleman and Rogers...

    Who's gonna be on our D-Line?

    I think round 1 is gonna be a D-lineman

    JJ Watts and Cam Heyward 🙂

  • Rogers was on the sidelines way too much. Hard to justify his 5.5 million salary for 2011. happy trails

  • I think that officially puts A.J. Green out of the mix for our first round pick. With these roster cuts, it would be stupid not to go defense, defense, defense. And with our inevitable switch to the 4-3, it would be stupid not to address the front seven.

    So, we go Trusnik, Fujita, Gocong at LB and Benard, Schaefering, Rubin, Roth at DL?

    We're gonna need some FA acquisitions, maybe Chris Hovan for a DT and Mathias Kiwanuka for a DE? If we don't bring Elam back we'll be looking for another safety as well.

    Shit, our defense is scary bad.

  • All good hard hearted and hard working except for Rodgers and St. Clair, but not much talent wise with all of those players except Rodgers. I do find it hard to believe that they dropped him now instead of seeing what he could do during training camp. Like someone already said, a new coach and the defense moving to a 4-3 could have been more than enough to push him into getting back in shape and injury free.

  • All I can say is thank god... barton and bowens won't be in the nfl next year..

    Rogers was lazy but talented. Besides where ever he plays he loses. I think holmgren wants winners and that isn't rogers..

    "Losers go home and cry about there best, winners go home and f-uck the prom queen."

  • It's been said, but I think this does pretty much seal the deal that DL is the route we're going with the first round pick. I can't say i'd be upset at all with that, there's a lot of DL talent this year.

    I agree.

    The guy looks like he should be flipping omelets at Waffle House.

  • Can't they just resign Rogers, but at a discounted price?

  • I'm glad that every topic I post gets deleted and someone else put one up and I don't get credited for it, especially if I'm the first to report it.

    I'll give you credit for your efforts...THANKS! I just verified these cuts on the Brown's website.

    The draft will be interesting & so will free agency (pending CBA outcome). Keep in mind most schools are still in 4-3s, so finding "fits" in the draft will be somewhat easier. In addition, there may be some excellent 4-3 talent in free agency or the trade market that was misused & under utilized in a 3-4 defense. We just might strike some gold in them thar hills folks!

    Bottom line is we needed change to improve & by golly, we're getting it. It just seems to me that changes in Brown's Town are happening with a purpose. It sure isn't going to be boring around here, is it?

  • Happy trails to all of them, including Rogers.

    You did report it first. Let it be known that jasont44094 gets the credit for this.

    However, your post had no link or true credibility yet, hence why a new topic was created with a link from a reliable source. Its not personal.

    Dude, what are the rules? Adam Schefter reported that Mangini was gone when Holmgren was hired. Why is he considered a reliable source?

    He's probably slightly less reliable than Wikipedia. 😳

    Its on nfl.com

    but six guys gone sounds like we are at the midst of a rebuild.

    maybe heckert and homey are going to make a couple free agent splashes... well they almost have too. That's already six plus we need a kicker (unless we resign dawson). Then we have to address the positions that we need help in.

    we almost need 16 draft picks to add any sort of depth, and that's if we hit the jack pot on all of them.

    Limp dick juron better show the fans improvement on defense asap or he is one and done. He is nothing but a piss poor hire.

  • I would release any piss-ant that Mangini brought. This team is and was so bad. No hope, and no chance to compete against the better caliber teams.

    Browns need talent.... Not going to get it entirely through the draft. Lots of superstar talent on the Free Agent list.

    Start scooping people up... let's get this team above .500 for once.

    So sick of all the lame duck excuses and "He's too old..... or He's a headache"

    Bring in TALENT. I don't care about anything else.

    I found the link and when I put it in and add the topic was already gone. I should of been quicker in my search

  • I will say this once.

    We will be drafting AJ Green if he is there (all depends on Carson Palmer and the Cincy situation).

    If he is not there, we will go DE. But WR is still our biggest problem. You can't win a game with a D lineman. There are plenty of those in the draft.

    Gotta agree compelety and ill be the first to say that Robert Quinn and Marcell Dareus both to me look like its gonna come down 2, i dont think ethier are worthy of the #6 overall pick and think its a reach for both

  • Per Adam Schefter Twitter:

    "Browns announced they cut LBs Eric Barton and David Bowens, DL Kenyon Coleman and Shaun Rogers, TE Robert Royal and OL John St. Clair."

    Surprising about Rogers. The rest was expected. Glad to see Robert Royal out of here.
