  • Dawson's replacement? Harvard Rugland.....

    "While Dawson was on the conference call -- something he initiated so he could address the fans and media here one last time -- the Browns were already trying to fill his enormous shoes. They brought in "Kickalicious," a Norwegian trick-shot artist named Havard Rugland, who's seeking an NFL contract. But it was just a look-see, and it's highly doubtful they'll sign him. "

    ESPN had him rated only the 54th best cornerback available in FA. His Atlanta teammate, Brent Grimes, who I thought we were after was rated tied for #1.

    So? WTF is up?

    He's just a body to compete for nickel, dime spots in camp. third round pick, must have some talent , worth a look.

    So this season we signed a coach arrested for driving through a fast food restaurant drive thru naked and drunk...lol

    A defensive lineman who ripped a guys door off its hinges drunk and probably high on bath salts.

    And a defensive back that destroyed his gfs house and poured bleach all over her shit... fucking Lombardi is turning us into the Bengals lol

    In addition to Grimes who was rated tied for #1, CBs still out there include DeAngelo Hall and Quentin Jammer both rated tied for #1, and Awesomewha...rated #2.

    It seems they want to go after guys in the 24-28 ish age range and aren't too keen on 29+ that want high contracts.

    My linkAnother LB coming in today for a visit. He has been a promising reserve in his 4 years with Dallas....Hmmm...

    Also of note: Eric Wright is likely to soon be cut loose by the Bucs. Remember him? He had a 4 game suspension last year for performance enhancing drugs thus enabling Tampa to release him and owe him nothing. They want to trade him but are unlikely to get any takers since his salary for this year is over 7 million. Another possibility for browns at CB2. He is 27 so he fits the age range desired.

    I've said it before. He would be a huge upgrade from anything we have now.

    He was garbage with us. He was garbage with Detroit. He was garbage with Tampa Bay. And he had a bad attitude/off the field issues the whole time.

    No thanks.

    NOPE!

    Wright was actually pretty good in 07-09. It was in '10 when he started getting beat regularly. Must have been because he changed from number 24 to 21.

    You are probably Wright, but it would be an upgrade in terms of talent, he was a bitch though. Look at his INT's and pass defended, he is not garbage. He is an all or none CB, agreed, pass.

    He's unreliable at best. He is the definition of a boom or bust CB. He either makes the play or gets seriously burned.

    We don't need a prima donna asshole who barely helps. If he was such a contributing member he wouldn't have passed around between three teams before he turned 27z

    Browns sign another camp punter by the name of Schum who punted at the University of Buffalo from 10-11. Only averaged 38 yards a punt, won't make it past the first cut in camp.
