  • I am sure he will be serviceable in the CFL.

  • Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden, Mingo, Gilbert ........

    The defensive geniuses that are the Browns Front Office passed on Khalil Mack. Then they let Skrine, Sheard, Rubin go because they won't pay anyone. The chemistry isn't there on defense and drafting unproven rookies to make up for free agent losses isn't working

    And it seems that Pettine is losing the locker room a little bit each week.

    Gilbert is a bust might as well admit it and move on.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    It's good that Gilbert has the mentality to want to contribute in any way shape and form.

    Humbling one's self is a great first step to success.

  • Good point Tia. I'm actually surprised they're giving up on him at DB so early.

  • they're not. if i remember correctly he was the only db/safety in the area to make a td saving tackle..

    guess everyone only wants to see what they want to see.

    like don't give up on manziel? well why doesn't the same hold true for gilbert you miserable fucks?

  • They're not giving up on him at corner in favor of receiver? Well, good. Get em, Justin.

  • Was there an article that Gilbert that said he was switching? All I read was that Pet said he was put out there at practice when they were short on WR's and he didn't look out of place...

    Dont think anyone has said he's "switching" to Wr......just that he's getting reps and the Browns have said(DeFlip) that they're taking a look at it......still primarily a CB though....

  • I think 95% of the fans thought he should be returning kicks from the get go.

    Not sure why Marlon Moore and Shaun Draughn were in his way.

    I think the coaching staff punishes him, sometimes to the detriment of the team.

    There, I said it.

  • Do I want to blow up everything? Absolutely not...I HATE doing that. But...I literally don't know what to do. Here's the thing, if we were losing close games because our QB wasn't making plays, or because we had a litany of injuries, and our defense was keeping it close, I'd say we're very close. But that's NOT the case. We in most of our games because of our offense, and we're losing because of our defense. We have a defensive coach and a great deal of our team resources spent on on that side of the ball, yet we aren't seeing any results. We don't force turnovers, we commit way too many costly penalties, and we're extremely predictable. I mean, if the blitz wasn't working the entire second half, why keep it up? I need to review the game a bit more, but it seemed to me like Rivers was waiting on the blitz, and identifying how to exploit it before the snap. Our own defenders said as much. So where are the adjustments? Where are the guys on defense that are going to make the key play when we need it the most? Where is the batted down pass, or the strip sack, or bone crushing hit?

    Nobody in their right mind WANTS to blow the team up, but finding a solution without doing that is difficult. Is Pettine too close to our DC? Does the owner need to step in and tell him if he wants to keep his job, than he needs to find another guy? Right now our offense is really making some strides, and other than some terrible execution int he redzone, we'd actually be "good". The two screen passes called should've gone for touchdowns, yet our "all pro" offensive line whiffed both times, and we settle for fgs. Is that coaching? Or is it our players simply not executing? Blowing up the team completely sucks, and it sets your team back a couple of years (usually). I'm hopeful there is a way to vastly improve our team WITHOUT doing that, but I'm not sure that possibility exists. I just know that me, and many Browns fans, are so tired of watching a team get beat because we can't stop a team when we NEED TO. We simply cannot make the play when we need it the most, and we cannot draft top level talent in the first round. Our fans are yearning for people to root for, for a dominant defense, and AFC North style football....yet we are the furthest thing from it. I don't want to sound like a Negative Nancy, I really don't, but I'm disappointed. I live and die every Sunday with this team, and maybe it's pathetic, but I love them. I want a product I can be proud of.

    Off topic of the thread, but on topic of the quote, I think the same thing happened to Crow last year. Remember how explosive he hit the hole last year in the early part of the season? He saw a crack, put his outside foot in the ground and exploded to/through it, then he fought for the extra tough yard........

    ......... Then came the fumble(s).

    The coaches overreacted, punished him with lack of playtime/starts and I'm sure harped like old women on ball security, and the result was the neutered Crow that we have today.
