Nate Orchard is a bust.

Looking at signing ILB Joe Mays.

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.

No, but might have helped you had I gotten the lyric right...

2. Nate Orchard 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 Dansby, 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 Bryant and less for Paul Kruger and Barkevious Mingo.

“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.

PoeticG

Since joining the NFL, he has failed 1 fucking drug test for WEED! ONE! And that was by the smallest second hand margin recordable.

He failed his first one for medicine that you and I would be able to take. It was prescribed by his doctor for his strep-throat.

And the last one was for the same thing 60,000 fans are going to be doing at FirstEnergy Stadium this weekend.

Get over yourself.

calfoxwc

Until he breaks free from his self-destructive, lack of self discipline behavior...

he's a pothead that failed to stay away from it back in college.

We don't know if it was second hand smoke, or something he took to negate

the test as much as possible.

60,000 fans didn't fail three marijuana tests in college.

He has a history that caught up with him in the pros.

So if you rape, beat women, punch out your wife, or kill dogs ... you get a second chnce in the NFL, but if you dont abide with their rules against alcohol and pot, but never harm a hair on another person ... you are trash and can't play.

Ok, got it.

this has been going on for years. the alcohol and drug thing (mj) in the nfl is ridiculous.

i think it was the poster 'unsympathetic' a couple of years ago who called me out asking if i never went to work cringing from a terrible hangover where you knew you would be of no help to anyone that day and people would likely find you under your desk sleeping like george costanza in the yankee FO.

well i lied and i have slept underneath my desk BUT i never drive if i drink. i don't stalk my ex's. i don't look at another creature and decide i want to smash it's skull in.
