  • The way the injury gremlin stalks around Berea, we need all the capable bodies we can get.

  • This rotation is going to be sick ,This may be a little odd but, He only missed one game in the last 4 years and I think that was a flu . One day and we have Instant recognizable strength in the NLF . Now more then ever in the NLF its about rotating players . Keeping them fresh . Excited .

  • I see us trading one of those guys. My bet is on Taylor. I think we might be able to get a 2 and something else for him.

    Cleveland Browns: The Browns underwent a complete overhaul this offseason, changing general managers (out with Tom Heckert, in with Michael Lombardi) and head coaches (out with Pat Shurmur, in with Rob Chudzinski). The Browns are also changing defensive schemes, going back to a 3-4 under Ray Horton, a top head coaching candidate for orchestrating a Cardinals defense that was among the top units in the NFL despite receiving little to no help from their offense. Lombardi spent big on the front seven, signing outside linebacker Paul Kruger to a five-year contract worth just over $40 million, a move that would soon be followed up by the arrival of defensive lineman Desmond Bryant, who agreed to a five-year deal worth $34 million. Between Kruger, who had nine sacks in 2012, and Bryant, a valuable starter for the Oakland Raiders, the Browns beefed up an already promising front seven that includes Phil Taylor, Ahytba Rubin, Billy Winn, D'Qwell Jackson and Jabaal Sheard.

    *********************************************

    Rotation. An injury here and there, and be glad about these two signings. That is a very scary bunch of kick arse defensive players.

  • how many players have the same name in the NFL?

    desmond bryant...dez bryant?

    are they like the cromarties?

    wow. it's like going to chinatown and trying to find a guy not named ling dong or johnny lee.

    what happened to names like tyrone or willy?

  • 34 million for a guy with 18 career starts & 11.5 sacks in 4 years just seems like a big overpay to me.

    Sorry, I forgot that UDFA were supposed to be productive as soon as they come into the league. He has been productive the past two seasons, that is why he has been signed.

    Not true.

    He had the fourth most QB pressures of all DT's in the NFL last season. He only started 8 games, meaning that he was just a substitute for the other 8, limiting his opportunities.. and yet he still produced.

    Sorry mik, you're stupid if you think the FO isn't even going to consider trading one of them. Like I said in a later post, I think we should stick with the depth we have, but you're telling me they aren't going to entertain trade offers? Riiiight.

    Kindly, take the stick out of your ass and open your eyes the next time you read and respond to something I post.

    No, you're living in fantasy land. Just because "we're offering" doesn't mean that offer is going to be good.

    Of course every player is always available to be traded. McCoy has been made available for the past 18 months, and the FO has received exactly zero offers for him.

    I would never trade Rubin for a sixth or seventh round pick.. and that's as high of an offer as we are going to receive.

    Could it be he was richard seymore's back up? That could be the reason for the lack of starts, Idk.

    No, this isn't fantasy land at all. The front office is going to entertain trade offers. Rubin is one of the league's top defensive linemen and he's only 26. He demands at least a 2nd or 3rd rounder and change.

  • If we could somehow manage a 2nd out if Rubin, I wouldn't mind it at all.

    But nobody is hurting bad enough at DT to offer a second for a 6th round draft pick.

  • Still don't know why people want to trade starters.

    We just filled a hole, now they want to create one?

    If it means getting a second round pick out of it, then yes.

    There are many offensive players predicted to go in the second that can really help our team.

    But really I'm just thinking about EJ Manuel.

    I guess I'm seeing Bryant, Rubin and Taylor all starting with Winn and Hughes rotating in as depth.

    If we trade one of those guys, we've created a weakness.

    That article suggests the Browns see all three as interior linemen, I don't think that's how the Browns see it.

    The reports are sounding like he was brought in to be a 5tech D.E. not play nose tackle.

    I see Bryant,Winn and Rubin starting.

    Winn was a highly rated 3-4 DE prospect drafted by a 4-3 team. He'll do well in the 3-4 and will eventually be our starter if not starting by week 1.

    While I am an advocate of building in the trenches, if trading one of our now 5 DL can move us into the second, I would do it in a heartbeat.

    Exactly.

    So please, let's not trade Rubin or Taylor.

    Our DL could be a real strength, and these big bodies will get Kruger, Sheard et al a lot of sacks.

    Phil Taylor is a beast. No way he is not on our line next year.
