  • Just a few days ago I said West was another Richardson Good Riddance but only a seventh round pick adds up to almost nothing.

    And Thad Lewis Good Riddance

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    Makes me wonder what we were asking the "Boys for that they found to be too much...

    Didn't we trade up for West? If my memory is correct and we did, that adds even more insult to injury.

    4th and 6th for a 3rd IIRC...

    If I were RF, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night because the wheels could come off the Browns bus quickly this season. A complete inability to add or develop playmakers on offense including QB, WR, and RB. Yes, everything could work out fine, but a few injuries and we're in big trouble. And now too many of his draft choices not making the cut.

    Development is a Pet & Co. job and I would say they have...

    JM improved this camp. Crow developed last year. Gabe, Benji and even Hawk have improved as well. Then there are plenty of examples on the D-side.

    Farmer should be concerned about his organization's inability to avoid picks that have issues accepting coaching whatever the source of those issues. We've seen that for 2 years now and on both sides of the ball.

    A conditional 7th and a cup of soup

  • With saltine crackers on top

  • Doesn't that help the Titans in game 2 since West knows are playbook.

  • If it makes it seems any better, we essentially swapped West for Andy Lee..

    I'd call that a win.

  • This has Ray Rice written all over it ... not that I think it is a bad idea ... but the shit I gave Steeler fans for Vick ...

  • Oh well on west. I don't think we're going to pick up rice but if we do so be it. It wouldn't be the first time we relied on a washed up ex raven at running back

    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...

  • Christine Michael to the Cowboys. Now they have a RB. Missed our chance.

  • uff.

    woe oh oh is me, i feel so badly for you.

  • Grossing says rice is never going to happen- my bet is that it will. No way the Browns don't go after him or Jonas Gray at this point. The writing is on the wall.

    Exactly- you have The Crow, a guy on concussion protocol, and a practice squad guy. Crowell gets hurt, and we're up shit creek @ RB.


  • Free agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw's fractured leg is "completely healed."



    Bradshaw is suspended for Week 1 after pleading no contest to misdemeanor marijuana possession in May, however. If Bradshaw is going to get signed, it probably won't happen until after the opener, when vested veterans get their base salaries guaranteed. We would guess that Bradshaw does land with a team at some point. He is injury riddled, but still effective at age 29.


    id like see them pick up bradshaw now west is gone

  • West being elsewhere= addition by subtraction, I don't care WHAT they got for him. I would have been fine if they had cut him.

  • if pet had enough of his whining cutting him would have been a better option. If we were going to deal him, the day was Saturday with Dallas & Houston. Instead we pissed on him Saturday than had to flush him Sunday. If we don't deal on Grey, Ball, Rice or Bradshaw again this "great" OL can't run the ball too. Hope good news on JM & Duke will make this day go away..

    Not good trade strategy:

    "Ummm ... you kept six offensive linemen ... so obviously you are getting rid of West ... I'll give you a conditional 7th to basically move to the top of the waiver wire."

    Aside from the fractured leg, Bradshaw has chronically dealt with really bad feet. This has kept him from practicing and a full work load in the past. Even though he's a bad ass; we're probably only looking at a fraction of the player he was.

    Jonas Gray intrigues me. Maybe BB/NE preferring an oft-troubled LeGarrette Blount gives this kid the kick in the dumpster he needs to giddyup and get after it. Pro Football Weekly Preview 2015 listed Jonas Gray as NE's Offensive breakout player. FWIW, Blount walked out on his last team (Pitt) at halftime on MNF here in Nashville not too long after he got arrested for marijuana possession. BB forgave that so Blount could be his workhorse in the playoffs. If a guy like that could get 2nd and 3rd chances - it might not hurt to have Pettine give Gray a 2nd chance.

  • People forget so quickly. Farmer trading up and getting West in round 3 was universally accepted as a coup by the draft community.

    As Higdon pointed out, it's insane they didn't know or care about his work ethic and personality problems considering they had a former Towson coach on their staff.

    Concerning, Ray Ray

  • so we all forgot about the duke? the duchess and the king?

    That whole Blount/Steeler thing stank to high heaven. Timing was way too convenient.

    Maybe Gray does respond to the cut or maybe he replaces West in kind. But it would not cost much to check him out.

    Different memory here, but beside the point...

    Agree that the pattern of personality issues bringing down promising players' production is disturbing. However, they seem to be a product of the Class of 2014... JFF, Gilbert, Tate and now West. I'll be a great deal more concerned if the pattern continues beyond Farmer's rookie season.

    Other that a couple of thoughtless tweets on the final cut choices, I'm not aware of any Class of '15 issues. Are there any?
