    I said he could be a starter, which he can be.

    You do not know that. Nobody knows that. You are making an assumption. You could very well be correct, but as of today you are making an assumption.

    Winn was not starting at the end of last season - Hughes was, and if we had the same defense next season with the same coordinator, the other DE starter opposite Sheard was going to be.. Hughes, not Winn.

    Billy Winn may be the most over-adored reserve since Ben Gay.

  • hey ladies. can the browns ever complete a squad on one side of the ball, defense or offense, without fucking it up?

    i mean we grab some good FAs within 48 hours of the opening bell and now that we have them signed (giving us starters and depth) fans now all of a sudden want to trade other players away to fullfill their arm chair GMs fantasy?

    GTFO!

    of course the FO will entertain trade offers BUT at what cost? are we gonna trade rubin who is arguably the 2nd best DT on the team? for who or what? on first thought i say keep everybody and weed the weak out in training camp.

    would you trade rubin straight up for mallet? ok. maybe. only if there is a replacement in the draft sitting there when we pick. but that's not the point. now we have resources that we've needed for years and when we finally get them you want to break up the team.

    c'mon man.

  • In Bryants press conference yesterday Banner said something along the line of "we won't be trading any D-Lineman" .

    Thank God!

    We are going to rock the AFC North.

  • Can't remember what article, but it said the Rubin would be an end, along with Bryant. Leaving the DT to phil Taylor with Kitchen as a backup, and Hughes and Winn are the depth DEs

  • This DL/LB-focused strategy in FA makes perfect sense.

    How?

    1) The dynamic Horton scheme necessitates LB and DE who can swap to the other position on any given down. It also requires depth in each position, as you are constantly having to adapt and move differently based on your formational position.

    2) We play in the AFC North. This isn't a division of pussy-domes and seventy degree weather. If we can dominate the line and the box, even an average secondary will allow this defense to take us places

    3) Yes, help is needed at CB. But, CB is an area that very easily addressed in the draft.

  • Great news from Banner

    Chief executive officer Joe Banner dismissed rumblings that the Browns are interested in trading defensive linemen Phil Taylor or Ahtyba Rubin. There was speculation they could be involved in a deal for Patriots backup Ryan Mallett. “Our purpose has been to put together a really strong unit, have some depth so we can rotate and so if we have any injuries the line will still be one of the primary assets of the team," Banner said, via The Akron Beacon Journal. "That’s what we feel like we’re achieving. We’re not looking to be trading anybody.”
  • Has anyone found any good tape/videos of Bryant on the field? I haven't been able to find much at all and would love to get a first hand look at him. Thanks!

    Your best bet is going to be watching Oakland team highlight tapes and finding plays he is in. Otherwise your just going to be finding a lot of Dez Bryant videos.

    I might look into making a highlight tape for our new FA today and tomorrow, kind of bored right now. I'll get back to you if I end up taking the time to do it.
