    Their motto: Let's be Clueless for Clowney

    (yep, I just made that up...apt, no?)

  • I hope we get Clowney.......

    if he's smart and if he already has agents he's signed with you won't see him play one down this season.

  • I'd trade away all our picks in the first three rounds to land this monster!

  • ...and he wears my number!

    c'mon man.

  • And when all is said and done. How often do the dominate teams in the NFL also dominate the preseason? Few.

    He plays Thursday night against North Carolina.

  • The Browns have the best and the worst fans in all of football. One preseason game that they ddint want to show their hand and they lost and Nickers lays into the team ...you sir are a loser not a fan....why not bandwagon on the Stealers

    LOL...I'm more of a fan than you'll ever be..I care about the damn team enough..I could never root for steeler scum..and as far as to them not showing anything is downright Retarded...screen plays are screen plays....post patterns are post patterns...get with it goofy...the browns are not suddenly gonna revolutionize football,,,I just merely pointed out some flaws...let Me make this clear so a simpleton like you can understand..I still expect this team to finish .500 or better...now go crawl back into your little hole and jerk yourself.

  • I'd say you can't trade a lot of picks to take a position that isn't QB, but I guess Dimitroff of Atlanta would disagree and he took a pretty great player from us.

    But aside from a QB, I'd say a dominant pass rusher is the one position you might trade up to get. And then Alo would remind me that a lot of the better pass rushers weren't actually top 10 picks. Or even first round.

    Clowney will be a 4-3 DE so I doubt he'll seriously be in the Browns discussion, especially after Kruger/Mingo/Groves. If the Browns need a QB, they'll trade the entire draft to get the guy they want because a second corner and a RG can be round in free agency. TE, too, for that matter.

    if weeden plays decent and we go .500 or better, the cb (or wr....depending on what happens with gordon and little this year) SHOULD be the pick next year. hopefull everyone has their heads on straight this year and next year we're drafting for depth.

  • Your lips to God's ears. If Weeden is good this year... and he's never gonna be in a better situation more tailored to his skills... then the Browns are looking at positions that are a lot easier to fill (2nd CB, maybe guard, maybe another TE, who knows at WR) unless, as you said, some youngsters step up.

    The Browns not only have a shitload of draft picks, they have a ton of money they're almost compelled to spend. In fact, I can't see them wanting that many rookies joining the team, so they'll likely consolidate into fewer (but higher) picks after signing 3-4 significant free agents.

    Im wondering if it would be in the best interest of the browns to look at Johnny Manziel despite some of the issues he's up against...His arm is better than people think and, I think he could have the skill set needed to run this offense..But the ball is squarely in Weedens court,,,

    Hey come on now, his nick name is Johnny Football.

  • Reading from the "insiders" that the Browns did ZERO game planning for the Colts (varies from team to team) and at least seemed to go out of their way to show almost nothing of what they'll actually be doing against Miami. Used way less shotgun than they'll actually use, blitzed way less than they actually will.

    Also, same "insiders" say the Browns' brass and coaches seemed legitimately unfazed by the showing... and in fact, Trent Richardson seemed unusually psyched about the offense and Weeden, like he was a kid trying to keep a secret.

    A little odd, yeah. But blurring through game, looked to be the case. Tells me the team is really happy with what they're doing and now want to show as little of it as possible.

    Yeah...like we need another (first down) Touchdown Tommy Vardell...I feel ya...That to Me is still one of the big head scratchers of a draft pick this team has ever made...Belichump and Lomtardi really dropped the ball on that draft.
