      I liked Dumervil and kind of wanted the Browns to offer him a contract so he wouldn't go to either the Ravens or Steelers...cause I "KNEW" one of em was gonna get him. That being said...I wouldn't exchange the two right now. If we properly utilized Kruger his stats would be even better than they are. Dumervil may be faster around the edge and may pursue faster from behind....but Kruger is a much better anchor. I'd love to have both cause they kind of go about their business differently and would compliment each other. Right now Sheard and Kruger are pretty much the same type of OLB'er. Why we line Kruger out wide like you would a Mingo or Dumervil is simply beyond me...he's a guy that needs to line up a little off the tackles shoulder so he can get underneath quick. Kruger is way stronger than Dumervil but we put him in positions that don't play what he's good at. He'd have 3 or more sacks this season if we lined up more with his hands down and off the tackles shoulder. That's how Blt used him when he was there and he was a beast. None of our Browns O lineman liked playing against him.

        How has Dumervil been doing this year for the Ravens btw? I dont' follow them but I haven't really seen much about Suggs and Dumer in any of the news or sportstalk. I don't remember either of them making much noise in our first game either.

          Slow start but up to 12.5 sacks already.

          Funny stat...we're undefeated when he was 1.5 or more sacks. When he has 1 or zero sacks we lose lol.

          I loved Kruger, was sad to see him go, but he's just not worth that money imo, not for what he needed which was a full time pass rushing specialist opposite Suggs. Kruger honestly does more for the Browns that we'd ever ask/want him to, which isn't really a knock on him, just how things worked out.

            Personally I think if they put 10 or so pounds on Kruger and made him a 4-3 DE he'd be competing for the sack crown every year.

              We tried that I believe but he lost the speed to help on the edge containing the run thus we made him trim the extra weight again.

              Kruger is probably a more complete player sort of like Suggs, though not on the same level. Doom is the superior pass rusher though, which is all we cared about.

                According to ESPN,

                Kruger has more combined tackles then Dumerville, granted Dumerville has more sacks.

                Kruger also has more pass defended then Dumerville.

                Kruger also has more tackles for loss.

                On another note, Clevfan4life, mentioned the Browns Oline didn't like playing against him.

                Well I would say the Browns had fun playing against him, even though they lost, because Dumerville did not record one stat against the Browns.

                    now I was referring to when Kruger played for Blt...our o line said Kruger gave them all kinds, was glad we got him.

                      Yes doom had a slow start to the year. And if Kruger didn't have more tackles and pass defenses I'd be worried cause all doom is for us is a pass rusher

                              I found the TFL's......Mack=12 - Dansby=9 - Kruger=8 - Kirksey=3

                              Also, Mack has WAY more solo tackles, while Kirkesy is heavy on assists.

                              Stats withstanding, I dont think there is ANY doubt that Mack is a better LB than Kirksey.

                              Though, using the same stat, I would accept that the Browns got GREAT value for a 3rd round pick.

                                Also don't forget that Mack plays 4-3 OLB...which was not what I thought he was going to be used as in the NFL. I don't think anybody did. If a 4-3 team took him it would have been as the Mike or converted to DE...or in a 3-4 he'd be the hybrid OLB and maybe, as I wished the Browns would have done, converted to 3-4 ILB. You've got to a fast mofo to play 4-3 OLB in the NFL and for a kid that fucking big and strong...wow. For him to have more solo tackles than Kirksey is ridiculous and have as many TFL's as Dansby and Kirksey combined? FFS. And seeing Kruger having almost as many TFL's as Dansby is also a joke given that Kruger's job "should" be funneling the runs inside so that the ILB's can make those plays. Something isn't working right with our 3-4, I wish more of you would see/understand that.

                                  Skrine - 4 INTs

                                  => Skrine's the better corner?

                                  Statistics can show anything.

                                  Not that he's better but I feel like buster is doing an outstanding job this season. A year or so ago everyone was mf'ng him constantly.

                                  Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                                    Oh absolutely, I love his progress - I feel like he's beginning to be able to lock down the #2 receivers under 6'1"

                                    But the point is, comparing tackles/sacks to show who's better is meaningless.

                                      Haha. This could be the most misleading stat of all time. And you could have had Mack! Or Watkins! Enjoy that extra 1st rounder next year so you can get another Justin Gilbert or Kiki Mingo or JFF to warm the bench while you start UDFAs.

                                          The idea that either one of those guys is worth 2 first round picks is completely laughable......

                                          Go buy a Cadillac and then pay Lamborghini $ for it.....then keep telling us what nice cars Caddys are.....

                                          Happy that you enjoy paying double for your players. PLEASE call us next year too, cause we like your style 😉
