    I see we are working him out, LB's need a kick up the arse if nothing else.

  • @gftchris said:

    Yeah, he's not entered Jarvis Jones territory yet 😉

    Sack and a forces fumble last night for Jones. 🙂 he's coming into his own now.

    If you saw the sack, then you'd know it was a complete gimme......Jones didnt even beat his man.....he just had a gift wrapped Rivers land in his lap....

    Wow, just watched that on the game pass - seriously, nothing to get worked up about. I think even Scott Solomon would have nailed that sack.

    I was just wondering what LB FAs were still out there.

    Slim pickings at OLB: Quentin Groves maybe?

    Slightly better at ILB...

    Joe was an ILB in HOU... not sure how that helps unless someone (Kirksey?) is moving outside to back fill for Solomon while he's hurt.

    And is Solomon done? Goes to IR to open the roster spot?

    You're dealing with a person (Vagitard) who has a serious case of "Dunning Kruger Effect"

    Groves couldn't even make the team in 2013. Doubt he could now. I would have loved to take a shot at Mason Foster, I think he's a solid, young FA that could have helped with depth and even cracked the starting spot over Robertson.

  • I'm still waiting for that Aldon Smith suspension to kick in so I can stop saying we should have signed him.

    Good luck ever trying to convince anyone here to sign anything other than Boy Scouts.

    You'll just get the whole "Josh Gordon" argument.

  • Big difference between "decent character/team oriented/wants to win..."

    and "ignorant ass pothead who doesn't give a frak".

    I'll take the "boy scout"...

    you take the latter.

    We'll see who stays out of trouble, and helps a team win, and is actually

    not suspended again and again.

    Yeah, he's sure been a detriment to them thus far.

  • 2. Nate Orchardicon-article-link.gif makes biggest impact yet, especially on two key plays

    Second-round rookie Nate Orchard logged 43 snaps Sunday, the second-most of any Browns linebacker behind Karlos Dansbyicon-article-link.gif, who played all of them. The reasoning, Pettine said, centered on how the staff paired its outside linebackers in different packages. That meant more snaps for Orchard and Armonty Bryanticon-article-link.gif and less for Paul Krugericon-article-link.gif and Barkevious Mingoicon-article-link.gif.

    “When we make a personnel call, certain guys are assigned to it and they go on the field,” Pettine said. “Nate was certainly a guy we felt like we wanted to get out there some more.”

    Orchard’s impact was significant late in the game, as he came up big on two key plays. On Baltimore’s two-point conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter, he helped disrupt running back Justin Forsett’s route, which ultimately derailed the play. When the Ravens faced third-and-goal and had a chance to take a lead with less than a minute to play, Orchard provided heavy pressure on quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw a bad pass off his back foot.

    More plays like this out of the Browns rookie would certainly help a defense that is still looking for answers five weeks into the season.

    Potheads have more talent. Von Miller is a pothead. Kruger is a Boy Scout. If you can get both, great. If you can only get one, talent is far more important.

  • Quit referring to Josh Gordon as a "pothead"... it's disturbing that fans don't know the facts.

    I think they mean Aldon Smith, not Josh. But hes not a pothead, hes a drunk who drives

    He has a history of getting caught with pot since college... And a marijuana tattoo.

    The facts are that he has failed multiple drug tests.
