    Fullback- Shocked Owen Marecic is even on our roster. Doesn't look physical enough to be a fullback and has stone hands. Short yardage has been terrible, cant all be blamed on him but what has he done?

    He is a terrible football player. The drops we all know about, but Shurmur was quoted last week as saying he was a good blocker, so I keyed on his blocking yesterday and was getting blown up all the time.

    I'm trying to think of a worse everyday Browns position player throughout history. Scott Rehberg? Percy Ellsworth? Brady Quinn?

    No ... I think Marecic is worse at his job then any of them. He turns first downs into punts and touchdown drives into field goals. He's just horrible.

    Zombo

    --I was hoping the special team penalties were on him and not Ventrone so they would cut him during the course of the game. Activate Smelly, get rid of Stinko.

    Yeah i watch him all the time.. I am shocked how horrible he is. The crazy thing is, it's not like he has any upside either. He is one of those guys who will get cut and not make another NFL teams roster.

    We should trade for Tebow and make him our starting FB

  • Marecic is flat out horrible. There has been at least one-to-two times a game where I notice him doing something terrible (awful blocking, worse catching, etc.) and I don't focus in on him. I am watching for entertainment and hopes of winning, not trying to scout the team necessarily. So when you notice that much about a Fullback, I think that it is a testament to just how truly awful he is.

    I still would like a G in the draft, especially with Pinkstons current health issues. We could use a stud LG or RG for that matter. I want a mauler that is nasty in the run game, and solid in pass protection, anything on top of that is just gravy.

    With Trent Richardson, I feel we are supposed to be built to run first team. We need to get some run blockers with a mean streak to do this and then I think our OL is set. So like 1 maybe 2 guards.

    I think that Cribbs and Norwood will both be back, but not as a guaranteed contract type of deal. I could see either or both getting cut before the season if they don't show enough. Re-signing them will be for depth issues mostly, and if they break out, great.

    I think tops on our list right now should be: CB, S, LB, DE, G. - Not sure of the order, but I can't see us not going with one of these positions with our top pick next year, unless we go with a QB (I am a Weeden supporter, just don't know if Haslem and Co. will be)

    I think he was so bad he never started. I was thinking of guys that started for a while. Marecic has started for a year and a half and he's useless as a tit on a bull.

  • Didn't marecic play lb at stanford?

    Shit, try him there he can't be any worse (surely).

  • Jarvis Jones is my early pick. Guy has all the tools to be the next Mario Williams/Von Miller and is coming out of the SEC powerhouse. After that I hope that they trade up into the early second round and take a CB to start opposite Joe Haden. I can't really speak as to who but those are the two glaring needs IMO.

    well the thing is.. We could be sitting on a gold mine. I doubt it will happen but imagine if we end up having the number 1 pick. You don't think the Cheifs would go Bazerk to try to trade up and get one of the tops qbs in the draft.

    Teams that desperately needs qbs. Cheifs, Arizona,Jags, Buffalo, Raiders. Arizona will probably finish with a good enough record and not be able to trade up and Raiders have no draft picks left to trade.

    If Weeden shows no doubt he is the guy. We could hold kings ransom for a bunch of picks.

  • I will get excited for next year when Shurmer is FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mario Williams and Von Miller are very different players lol

    Mario William was a highly drafted defensive end who also is sought after for playing linebacker in a 3-4 (yes the bills run a 4-3). Von Miller was a highly drafted defensive end who was sought after for his ability to also play linebacker in a 3-4. Both are considered top defensive players in the league today. Von Miller during draft day was labeled by several experts to be a mold of Mario Williams. You're probably right though, those two things don't sound similar at all to me.
