OL Back-ups

The Browns Board
7 5 511
  • I was surprised at the OL cuts and not surprised that they were picked up by other teams - especially Gilkey. It wouldn't surprise me to see him as a regular starter one day and I always thought he played at an NFL level after his rookie year. But I'm even more surprised at the pick-ups on the OL today. So I want to know what you think. Did we upgrade? Any theories as to why cut players failed to impress this staff?

  • Ah.... JAX claimed him...

    I thought Gilkey was more effective in a traditional drive-blocking, pull & trap role than a zone-blocking scheme. Apparently JAX disagrees with me...

  • I thought the bucks claimed him. But still wondering if we upgraded the OL through all these changes.

  • Was not disappointed to see Wallace gone. His claim to fame was wiffing on Sam and then helping him by piling on Sam and Manziel so he could record .5 sacks for the wrong team.

    I am glad to see him gone.

  • Any theories on Gilkey? Do you think the fighting had anything to do with it. I was hoping he would become a starter - tremendous size and a mean attitude.

    That's what I thought.
