  • Browns defense gives up 30 points on road to Phillip Rivers: Kill Every one of them.

    This dude's defense gives up 28 at home to Maryland: Greatest athlete I've ever seen. Too good for Cleveland.

    That a college kid "right now" could conceivably be the most skilled pass rusher on the Browns roster if he was on it.

  • Big difference between a college offensive line and the NFL. Bosa could be a "bust" in the NFL. Start right now? What are you smokin?

    If he is JJ Watt level talent then he would be the best pass rusher for virtually any team.. Or he could be a bust and worse than anyone on the browns roster.. This thread is pointless. Plenty of college kids are better than current professionals. That's why there is a draft every year when college kids replace veterans and busts.. Geez.

    Wait wut? Who said he was at JJ Watts level "now"? Dude think about what you're saying. Nobody in college is as good as JJ Watt is right now. You can make an argument that Bosa is perhaps further along at this stage in his career than possibly even Watt. Pass rushing wise they're probably very comparable but Bosa looks to be a more polished around player than Watt was coming out of Wisconsin, not by much but still. No kid coming out of college though, no matter what his talent level...should be better than men in their late 20's making anywere from 6-10 million like some of our guys. The point of the thread is the more I watch the kid the more I see him do things skillwise that I don't see from our players who should have been furthering their skillset all these years in the league. If i'm right about Bosa which I'm not 100% sure I am, what does that say about our team? It's not just Bosa either obviously, there seems to be a lot of players in College that could conceivably be not just starters on our team but some of the most productive players.

    And for those players that are maybe a notch or two lower in the college ranks, why do some of them come into the NFL and blossom into elite players if not hall of fame type talents? So not only do we not draft/sign well, it appears we also don't develop our players all that well either. It's a valid thread.

  • He'll most likely start next year on whatever team drafts him so yes he can start for the browns. Would he be the most dominant rusher? Maybe on the browns but not on many teams.

    never stated anything to the contrary. I'm not saying he would dominate NFL offensive lineman, my point was that his skillset is already further along than anybody on the Browns roster save perhaps for Armonty. Strength wise it's hard to say where he's at compared to the NFL, he at least looks like he'd have no problems dealing with NFL lineman in the strength dept..but that's not something anyone knows for sure.

    But the hand skills....but those hand skills. That's why I would make the argument that even if he was put on the Browns roster tommorrow and was maybe not quite strong enough yet, his hand skills would likely get him closer to the QB than most if any of our guys. I mean just watch his tape. He changes up his rush, sometimes he just sticks his hands out and holds the lineman in place while he thoughtfully analyzes the run play....I mean this is what you'd think NFL scouts drool over. And he doesn't just set the edge, he sets it than fights off it. Can he do that in the NFL? Maybe, we'll see...but he's further along right now that alot of guys were in college who are dominating the NFL right now.

    I'm as much an Ohio State homer as anyone- but cool it on Bosa. I thought "Big Daddy" Dan Wilkinson was gonna be the next Reggie White- and I was sure wrong about that one.

    Sure Bosa is a lock first round pick, as of now- but things can change.

    Hey, Zeke Elliot is a sure fire first rounder too. 🙂

  • Maybe O'Neil could use him to cover Antonio brown or aj green.

  • Look at who the buckeyes are playing. Do you see him going up against potential NFL caliber o-linemen now? Love OSU but I'm always leery of drafting guys just because they're ex buckeyes. Let them run the table and play some high level teams in the playoffs.

    Friggin michigan starting to play now. Harbaugh didn't waste much time.

    Exactly.

  • Love me some Bosa and all that stuff....

    ....but, since were talking about pass rushing, his 1 sack in 5 games(against inferior talent) isnt exactly dominating.....and since we're comparing him to Browns players, Id point out that the Browns are DEFINITELY playing superior talent, yet some have more sacks than bosa(and in fewer games).....

    So....whatever....

    His suspension for one of them wasn't all that warm and fuzzy either.

  • Pointless thread but the answer is yes...easily.

  • anybody watching this garbage that wouldn't want to see the kid out there right now in a Browns uni?

  • Just watch those targeting calls

    We're down 5 to a divisional rival at halftime.

  • cause we're playing so well right? look i don't care if we fall into a win here ass backwards cause the Ravens have their own issues....this is still shiite. The fact the Ravens have only 14 pts at halftime is more an indictment of them than it is the result of anythign we're doing.

    As much as I like your posts Clev, Bosa's got 1 sack against Sigma Phi Epsilon + he's already been suspended.

    Does our history tell us this type of guy is ideal to throw a nice big contract and signing bonus at?
