Browns lose Desmond Bryant for the season
-
-
Still think it's a huge loss, especially from leadership position. Not only that, we're going to be depending an awful lot on rookies and second year players. Ugh.
-
With this loss, maybe one of the defensive rookies will be slotted in to fill that spot,
LB, D. Alexander
DL, N. Stample
DL, C. Nassib
LB, E. Ogbah
DL, K. Rose
LB, J. Schobert
LB, S. Wright
-
Looks like Nassib is getting a lot more reps than he was supposed to. Cooper as well.
-
While I regret his loss, it's also a great OPPORTUNITY for one of our young players to step up. It will be interesting to see who will. I do think we have talent there.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
I was under some impression that Bryant's job may have been on the line anyway....from just his own basically mediocre play...and from the competition he was to face.

He led the team in sacks last year. While not exactly all-pro, 6 sacks for an interior DL is a pretty decent return.

Ya, this is not good news, but it is opportunity. Young guys put on the fast track. Nassib is next man up, if he is not NFL ready we are going to see a lot of John Hughes.

Wouldn't shock me to see him cut, if it's even vaguely favourable. Missing this year, he'll come in to next season as a 31 year old, coming off of a lost year and making $7m, only $1m of which is guaranteed.

Except, correct me if I am wrong, DB is a DE, not on interior DL. That still may be a decent return....

I don't think they can cut him if he goes on IR. They will have to continue to pay him.

He's not a primary pass rusher in the team, which is the job of the OLBs.

The greatest pass rushers in history were DEs. Deacon Jones, Carl Eller, Michael Strahan, Bruce Smith. Some guys were like combo guys.....like MDP and JJ Watt.

Playing a 3spot is most certainly interior dline.

Having this conversation yet again is tedious. How long have you been a football fan and you don't know this?

Don't be stupid. Defensive Ends rush the passer. It is a primary requirement of the position.
If you are a fucking defensive end you rush the fucking passer. What is it about that YOU don't fucking understand?
I don't care if it is a fucking 4-3 or a 3-4....that is what DEs do. I have known this since like 1960. Do you not yet know this simple fact about football?
Do OLBs ALSO have responsibility to rush the passer? Certainly.
But look at this list of the 25 career leaders in sacks.

2/3rds to 3/4ths are guys that played the DE position. This just since 1982 when the stat was created. Guys like Jones and Eller don't actually show up here.
Same here:

8 of Browns top 13 sackers have been DEs. 4 have been OLBs.....one was a DT.
So, tell me again how it is that you have rewritten the history of football by putting primary emphasis for pass rushing on LBs and not on DEs?

This sucks!
There's an article out there. Maybe there's a relationship between the strength coach and pec injuries. Sometimes when the weight is simply too much for the body.
