    Gilbert and Erving next on the bust parade. Mathews for center. Sorry if this doesn't show well new to my smartphone.

    Erving has played two preseason games at Center, you guys that are calling him a bust are nuts.

    He's a talented cat and we now have him at the right position.

    A lot of folks think they are offensive line gurus around here, everyone thought Mitchell Schwartz sucked for three years while he grew into one of the best right tackles in the business.

    Have some freaking patience with this guy, he has the talent, the size and the heart. He'll get beyond the learning curve and be a great asset.

    Not sure if this is the right position for him but I agree that he will be good.

  • Couple short, interesting PFT articles on Mingo in paradise. In spite of the first's headline, Mingo doesn't really take any shots at our current regime and in fact acknowledges Hue & Co.'s attitude. Same cannot be said about Chud.

    Barkevious Mingo finds “culture shock” between Patriots and Browns

    “It’s a huge culture shock,” Mingo said, via Adam Kurkjian of the Boston Herald. “I felt like the winning spirit was making its way into Cleveland with those new coaches, but it’s definitely been established here for a long time, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

    “It’s very exciting. This team is stacked at every position. They have guys on the outside who can cover. We’ve got interior guys who are holding gaps and linebackers that are hitting those gaps and making big plays. I’m just excited to be a part of it.”

    Barkevious Mingo impressed Bill Belichick, even before debut

    Belichick said that the first thing he noticed after trading for the former No. 6 overall pick that was Mingo flew directly from Tampa (where the Browns were working out with the Buccaneers) to Charlotte to meet the Patriots rather than returning to Cleveland to get his stuff. Then he spent the entire day off following last week’s game meeting with coaches to get caught up.

  • Mingo should bless his lucky stars. That does not mean that he will be all that and a bag of chips with the Pats.

  • Hope he does well enough. I can't see him having a big influence in our future, except he'll probably be the only player on NE's D capable of chasing RG3 down from behind for a 20 yard sack when we play in week 5. Looking forward to that.

  • "enthusiasm" will make up for the 70 pounds he gives up when attempting to set the edge.

    "enthusiasm" will make up for the lack of BOTH awareness AND lateral agility he shows when either in the backfield whiffing on a tackle or after having dropped into a hook zone and attempting to cover the RB who's running right past him.

  • Belichick wont insist on trying to get him to do something on a regular basis (edge setting) that he isnt built for. I promise you belichick will find a way to keep mingo in open fluid space

  • Ok which one of u windowlicking shitdicks called into baskin and phelps 30m ago..,

    Talkin bout how u were sure belichick would make mingo a TE? Fess up i know it was one of u morons. Phelps was on his troll and immediately said something like "oh i thought he'd move him db" or something like that.

    I know it was one of u. I vaguely remember someone mentioning something like that here awhile ago.

  • Identify yourself, windowlicking shitdick ...

    Zombo

  • Zombo why? It isnt about mingo its about who here is stupid enough to make that suggestion on air. No reason to merge it here

  • I thought we already had another windowlicking shitdick threads.
