There ya go. Punter problem solved. Just as Great Zomboni predicted.
Defensive team wonba Super Bowl with him last year ... Is that good enough for everybody?

Happy, happy, joy, joy.
At least the FO knew they were dealing with garbage. Now about that seventh round pick we just wasted........ -
TGZ is already in the house?
Texans waived WR Cecil Short III. Medium sized WR who had a great year with JAX. Caught in a bit of a numbers game going into his 2nd year with HOU, but could be a question of injury toll though. And certainly not an area where we need bodies....

Any of the recent cuts interest anyone? I imagine Sashi will be sifting through the cuts to try to fill the gaps.

What's up with Center John Sullivan getting cut in Minnesota? Is he injured or was it a salary cap thing?
Last time I remember an allegedly washed up Center coming here it was Hank Fraley giving us an incredibly pleasant surprise. That guy was still able able to pull around end from his Center position in his 30s which was as unique as it was excellent.

About that 7th round pick we just turned into a 4th round pick ...

we did turn a seventh into a fourth- but we're still minus that seventh, if I understand the trade correctly. Hehe, maybe Sashi and Depo can turn that fourth pick into 6 seventh round picks.

We dumped Peggy Lee and a 7th rounder for a 4th rounder and then picked up Denver's all-time leading punter in the middle of his career for free.
It was fricking brilliant.

True Z,
The punting trade sounds more and more brilliant everyday.
I guess Lee was a bit soft.

The "in" thing right now is to mope about cuts to a team that wasn't going to do shit anyway. Rebuilding is the name of the game.

Yeah LFS, it feels like a sorority house full of estrogen in here lately.

I'll give them credit for being lucky- and being aware that Colquitt was still out there. If some other team had beat us to the punch- we would have had shit punting (and our incredibly valuable 2018 low 4th round pick). Um, that's worth about 55 points on the draft value chart. However, the shit punting would have blended right in with the rest of the shit on the team.
FWIW, it's probably unheard of for a team to have 14 draft picks- and have every one of them make the final roster. It's either they had the best draft of all time, or Sashi and Depo are so arrogant they're refusing to admit they made even ONE mistake in the draft. The other possibility is (and I'd refuse to believe it) the overall talent on the Browns before they took over was worse than the 0-16 Lions. So think about that for a minute.PS- I'll also give them credit for clearing out a lot of future cap room, remains to be seen how they use it. -

OK Flugs- and this is addressed to Zombo too- here's where I'm coming from. Can't remember who, but someone had a sig line- "CLEVELAND BROWNS, REBUILDING SINCE 1999, WHY STOP NOW?" Sorry, but this crap has just gotten really, really, REALLY old for me. Hell, the Panthers made the Super Bowl, tore the team down, went to another Super Bowl, and the Browns have done jack shit in the meantime.
We're currently into (pick a number, I've lost count) blow it all up- rebuild. Anyone who thinks we're going to win more than a couple games this year- well, Zombo- if a Browns fan believes that- sell them some prime Florida Swampland real estate. But yeah- THIS time it's gonna be different. Yada, yada, yada. Well f**king SHOW ME this time it's going to be different, before I invest an ounce of energy in belief. MHO? Haslam is taking a huge risk. Putting a bean counter (Sashi) and a baseball analytics guy (DePodesta) in charge. If it blows up in his face- he's wearing the village idiot hat in the entire NFL.
So we're being asked to be patient- yet again. I suppose we don't have any choice in the matter. I'm not buying in until I see the progress is for real this time. & I'm not getting my hopes up to have them crushed for the 10th + time. Patience? As the one Buzzard said to the other Buzzard- "patience my ass, I'm gonna kill something."
PS- my prediction- by the break, plenty of fickle fans will have drifted over to the Ghoolie Dark Side. "let the anger and frustration FLOW through you son."

Sharkey sounds fishy. Shankey a bad FG kicker. He's name is Sankey & for years I called him Stankey
Who knew? Sharkey sounds fishy. Shankey a bad FG kicker. He's name is Sankey & for years I called him Stankey
Who knew?I like some of the dumpster names that you remember from your FL teams from ~5 years ago. .....and they were second or third tier players back then. But occasionally you can find a real bona fide gem. (hey I had Sankey once

Bohringer, the German kid with the decent shorts olympics numbers, got cut by the Vikings. There were some here clamoring for him.

Three things...
- This is rebuild #1 for this FO.
- This rebuild is different than any that preceded it.
- No one is seriously predicting playoffs for this team... and that's different, too.
Now are they doing it right? Is "different" going to be better? Fuck if I know... but I will be watching for signs. And in the absence of their being illuminated by "W's", I think I will have to look very hard.
As for the Dark Side? I doubt it will get crowded. I don't think expectations will be high enough to drive folks that direction... not this year.

Lol at the ghoolie dark side. Obi-Zombo and Darth Ghoolie....

As for the roster, I didn't think we would cut any of the draft picks, but I thought they might stash a couple on the IR, I thought Louis and Caldwell were candidates.
Nassib and Kendrid ALREADY look like they are finds for where they were drafted. Oggie and Coleman are starters, so we will quickly find out what we have there. I think they will fare better than the guys we had at their respective positions last year.
Schobert, Drango and Scooby EARNED their roster spots with solid play.
That leaves Shon Coleman, Caldwell and the three wide receivers as guys they kept around solely because they think they can add a lot to the club in the future. Remember the future? It is what the 2016 Browns are all about. Unless you miss those 3-13 2015 Browns with no direction. One of those rookie WRS will have to step up and become the 4th WR (5th when Josh is back) that will be an interesting competition, competition is always good. The other two can sit inactive every week. Somebody has to.
