Browns Player additions
-
Was going to post this yesterday but got side tracked.
Looking at some recent moves by the Browns, it's a bit eerie to see that they precede injured players :
October 7, 2014 Signed DL A.J. Pataiali'i to the practice squad. Released LS Charley Hughlett from the practice squad.
October 11, 2014 Signed C Braxston Cave to the practice squad.
Yesterday we added anothe DL :
October 14, 2014 Signed DL Sione Fua. Placed DL Armonty Bryant on injured reserve. Released WR Lee Doss from the practice squad.
Blurb on Fua :

Hopefully Fua can fill the void......
Cave has been on and off the PS....so not really an eerie move. He was on the PS, then they took him off to try out Hughlett, as 2 centers on the practice squad doesnt make sense(esp when you have the best on your roster). When Hughlett showed he wasn't the guy, they dumped him and brought Cave back....just coincidental timing.....
And I dont see this A.J. Pataiali guy anywhere.....you say he's on the team??? Is it PS or roster?

Pataiali'i was signed to the PS, but I heard Pettine mention that he may be moved/promoted due to all the injuries.

What about Jacobbi McDaniel, I thought he was pretty solid in the preseason. This new guy may be more like Armonty though or something. I guess I dont understand why we dont promote from within for a backup spot like this. He would know his assignments and such. Unless he just isnt very good, in which case I dont see the point of having someone like that on the PS anyways.

I wondered the same thing. I liked what I saw from McDaniel too, but then I'm not the Coach or GM.

Nick McDonald OL - first day of practice today (was on NFI for wrist?) :
And :
http://www.chatsports.com/nfl/a/Nick-McDonald-taking-first-steps-to-get-off-NFI-list-1-10561590
Heard Jacobbi McDaniel was an option to activate this Sunday, but it sounds like they may like Fua for the position they're short - remains to be seen.
Another new Player :
Browns signed WR Kevin Cone to their practice squad - (4th year from Tampa) :
http://www.nfl.com/player/kevincone/2531203/profile
Here's an interesting bit :
Browns released DB Isaiah Trufant from injured reserve with an injury settlement.
I remember seeing Pettine high on Trufant, and that he was doing excellent in covering - injury casualty though.

Pettine sounded like starting McDonald was a possibility, I am assuming he has center experience. Or painter at guard over McQ was a possibility.
I am expecting Greco at C and McQ at guard again, but we'll see, Greco was doing so well at G.

Only through the first half with line grades, but my early take is if we can move JG back to RG, I'd look at it. He could take the line calls with him to RG.

Im pretty sure Fua is a fourth year pro and I dont think you can put 4th year players on the practice squad. So, if Fua was the best available, then they have to take him and put him on the roster. If they move McDaniel up, then they have to fill the PS spot with someone else(not Fua).

Greco starts at C, looks like we will see a lot of Gilbert:

Good. Center is a key position. Greco is best right there

Good article on Greco:
Interesting article on McDonald:
-
On Kyle Shanahan's offense: "I've always thought his offense was 'quarterback friendly' ....with the commitment to running the football...with the effectiveness of the run, you're running play-passes with guys coming open...I've always felt that, and it's certainly been the case this year.''
Most important statement of the day. I agree totally. It's what made Seattle so good too.

Sounds like McQuistan is starting at G this week.
K'Waun Williams out with Concussion.
