We have to draft Bosa

Westside Steve

We need to hire a couple of call girls to plant some weed on Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott so we can get them in the second and third round.

And since it is reported Bosa is threatening to not come out if it looks like we will pick him, what then?

Is he threatening that because we're projected to take him? Fuck me that's all I need to hear. If the Browns are becoming that team that nobody with talent wants to land in, we need to take a step back and re evaluate these yearly calls for staff changes. If people in college, and possibly even Meyer himself, are telling Bosa try not to land in Cleveland.....yeah this franchise is fucked. Had to have seen that coming though. What defensive player wants to come to Cleveland only to get converted to something he ain't?

Well...he didnt say he didnt like the Browns or doesnt want to be drafted by them....

He said "Cleveland is a run down dirty hole of a city"

Make of it what you will.....

It means he really has never been here. FYI, Bosa grew up somewhere in Florida (and the cities there are more run down and dirty than the one's in Ohio).... And anyone from Ohio knows that Cleveland is nicer than Columbus.

wait wut? he really said that or are you trolling?

Mudfly

Nope...he said it...(tweeted it actually)

But of course, the tweet was deleted and he has tried to back up on the statement.....

Though, how do you back up on"run down dirty hole"?......sounds pretty clear to me....

Have no fear....Im sure if we draft him, the first thing he'll say was he loves Cleveland and it was all a misunderstanding....

Florida is Appalachia surrounded by a beach.

Not sure I agree about Columbus, it's pretty nice town.

Nice....as in "Bland". If you like bland. And as perhaps you know....I have been to 99 of the 100 largest cities in the USA (exception: Boise)

I mean....Columbus is a town that think Budweiser is great beer.

Clevfan4life

well fuck him then. Draft him and trade him immediately so he oesn't go anywhere else in the North. But I don't want some new joker on the team who's here for a paycheck. Of course he'll play for the Browns, he's gonna get that #1 pick money.....draft him and trade him.

Trade down a few picks and take treadwell and a badass linebacker.

possibly connor cook if he somehow falls to us.

gotta either take Bosa and trade him or trade the pick with a team that is 1) absolutely going to take him and 2) not playing in the AFC North.

He will shit on our O line for years if we let him go to Blt.

I know enough from you to know what is good beer and what isn't.....even though I don't care much for beer.....And I know from enough people to know that Bud is not good beer.

OK...question, Mr. Afficionado: What beer is the best "big box" retail beer?

Actually even though it's one of my least favorite styles of beer I don't think anyone who makes the traditional American Pilsner does a better job then anheuser-busch. If for no other reason that the consistency is close to perfect.

But we can continue a beer discussion on the movies and media page.

he's trying to walk back his tweet now with "if you still think I hate Cleveland, I don't"........oh ok. It's just a dirty shit hole but it's still a cool city, gotcha Joey. God i'm sounding like an old man but I can't stand these kids anymore. I have more respect for guys that say I don't like that place than some sackless ninny who tries to walk back a tweet. If you said, stand by it. I don't give a fuck that somebody doesn't like Cleveland and doesn't want to play here. I don't want a player like that on the team. It's good to know how Bosa feels now we can move on.

I don't watch too much Ohio State football, so don't bite my head off. I read a few short articles that stated Bosa might be better suited to a 4-3 style defense, where he has his hand on the ground and attacks from a traditional DE spot. I know that defenses nowadays are typically some kind of hybrid 3'4's or vice versa, but can Bosa play standing up? Does he play mostly at DE in college, or does he cover as well?

I wouldn't worry about it. 3-4, 4-3.....he is a player and that is what we need.

(besides....we have our best pass rusher doing "cover" now in this system.....why would Jim O'Neil want to change that?)

I'll leave it for CleveFan and others who are bigger Bosa backers than I for a definitive answer, but I do not think Bosa is DQ'd from being a 3-4 DE. I think he'd be underutilized as such in some schemes such as ours, but could do the job.

He could be a Kruger-ish, weak-side, hybrid DE/OLB as OSU does drop him at times, albeit out of a 3-point in more of a zone-blitz, change of pace variation.
