Bryant is Mingo Mingo is Bryant.

Yes. Bryant has only gotten better, though he is down since the preseason.
Mingo, I don't know what's going on but he can be an effective situational pass rusher.
Is Bryant playing like a #6 overall pick I'm not so sure, but certainly the roles are reversed based on draft positioning.
I expect them both to get better.

armonty hasn't taken any snaps at OLB has he? If so I'm glad they're doing it, keeps him on the field more. Even though he's still good at it, it's a shame to keep Armonty in the middle of double teams all game long. I like when they set him of the edge. Armonty may be our best technically gifted pass rusher.

I kind of felt that way for this whole draft. Where you are picked is really an arbitrary number. If we switched this years draft around, it would seem much better and everyone would appreciate how well Farmer did. Look at it like this.
1a - Bitonio - the #1 top rated rookie in the NFL right now
1b - Manziel - nothng to indicate he wasn't worth it yet. Im still in with him for depth
2 - Kirksey - solid pick
3a- Crowell - solid pick
3b - Gilbert - verdicts still out on him. Hurts a little less as 3b though.
4 - Desir - verdicts still out. But promising for a 4th
So, if we knew going into the draft that we'd get a monster starting guard, 2 fantastic running backs, a solid starting quality linebacker, 2 uber talented CB's to develop and a potential Superstar for backup quarterback. PLUS an extra 1st round pick for next year,
WHO WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THAT????????????????

But where has he been? Doesn't seem like that is his role. When in he drops more than rushes.

For where mingo was picked.. Were just not seeing the return on the investment.. He's just too fucking small and light to shed the big O-lineman.

the browns are asking him to do something he's not used to doing. coverage.
it's like going into mcdonalds and asking you to flip burgers when all you do is take care of the drvie-thru window.

The coaching staff seems to be happy with where Mingo is. As stated above, they have been mostly using him to drop into coverage. The people who are upset that he isn't getting sacks don't seem to understand that.

Using him in coverage means he's not he as was billed. It means he's been less than marginal.. Not buying that load of crap... And no. I'm not sorry I feel this way.. He blows.

Pettine said it was because he was better at coverage than any of the other LBs. I'm not saying he's the man, but you have to take the way he is used into account. Furthermore, he is still pretty green, he only saw about half the defensive snaps last year....

Again.....the production we are getting out of our 7th rounder may be equivalent to what we would expect from a first round pick.....and if the production we are getting out of a first rounder is the equivalent to that of a 7th round pick....it is still a zero sum gain.
That is my point.
And if Mingo starts playing like anything higher than a 7th rounder, then it is a plus sum gain.
Get my point?

Add in the FA acquisitions- I don't hear any squawking about how Hawkins and Gabriel are playing. Another off season like that, and the rest of the NFL had better look out.

wouldn't he make a great blitzing LB'er in some of our 4-3 looks? Put Kruger or Sheards hands down in the ground, basically making them the 43DE...shift Armonty to the outside shoulder of his tackle making him the other 43DE...and line up Mingo just off the line either to the outside of Kruger/Sheard or Armonty. He can feign the blitz or he can stunt up inside if he thinks the guard or center is being lazy. It would get him off on the OL with momentum, I think he'd be hell on em.

No, you blow.
They put him coverage because he is better at it than Sheard and Kruger. Try reading the comments from Pettine instead of making dumb-ass statements.

I agree. Once a player is drafted or signed and makes the team, it doesn't matter anymore.

Do you realistically believe that EVERY player drafted must be good immediately? Can you site a single team or a GM that hits on every player? Is it fair to rip the GM on a bad pick, the same year he hits it out of the park with FA's, UDFA's and 80% of his draft picks?
If you ignore how well Farmer has done and can only see that Gilbert isn't performing well, then you have no clue how the draft(and player acquisition) really works or how successful ALL teams typically are in selecting players. Completely unrealistic expectations.
Even if Gilbert ends up sucking(and it's way too early to say that), this was an incredibly successful off season in terms of locating and getting players for this team.
Yet, all we hear about is the one negative, instead of being happy with the 20 positives.
