Analysis of the Hybrid LB/SS Role in Gregg Williams' D...
-
We'll have to see how he's used. The DC gets credit both ways as well. That is especially true in this case. That's the point I'm trying to get across. This is a player who's unique skill-set can best be utilized by a creative, good DC. It will mostly be on Peppers, but the DC and scheme is especially important in his case
-
Peppers is a ball killer why would we use him on offense much? He's a guided cruise missile
-
I read a quote by some anonymous scout that thinks he'd be better on offense.
Ja.brill Peppers - Cleveland Brown OldBrownsFan, on 02 Jun 2017 - 5:09PM said: "No you are not the work of the devil but you are deceived by the devil." Who's got it better than us? Nooooobody! -
Well, this guy may be better suited to the "hybrid" spot:
Obi Melifonwu

6'4 219. Compared to 6'0 205 for Peppers
-
And maybe for a 5th round flyer this guy:
Josh Harvey-Clemons

6'5 228

Meh. He puts 5-10 lbs on and keeps his speed.....ridiculous

I think he provides more long term value / potential on defense than offense.

I don't believe thinking you're an NFL Scout makes you one.
I see we're in a mood tonight...

Then you should get your vision checked too lol
Just being stupid about it. Hard to translate the light hearted nature over text.

Amen.
In mock draft news, CBS Sports mocked Peppers to us at 12.

Won't even complain at this point. I've said my piece, I leave it to the front office to assure, or destroy, their job security.

Tony Jefferson still a free agent?
Tony Jefferson still a free agent?
Great question. I remember advocating for him a few years back on another board as a mid round target.
He had a career 2016 and I'd be VERY interested in taking a look at what his market value is. While I might love the thought of having some home grown boys on the roster, Jefferson brings the ability to supplant Tyvis AND
play a more traditional back hash role as well.

Looks like he is and maybe a cheap get at a couple million per.

Great quote from the article: "The Browns already have two quality, versatile linebackers in Jamie Collins and Christian Kirksey."
It's so good they posted it twice.
This article points out that Williams will not use 3 pure LB -- so any prior discussion about [remotely plausible] draft targets that included LB Foster are not really accurate because we already have our LB starters.
Schobert/orchard/johnson seem fine for depth/spot starter.. Davis is not because he can't cover in space and should be a candidate for cut/trade.

Well....again, it is said that Collins best spot is a ILB. This would be fine in a 3-4. But with perhaps the Browns running a base 4-3 an with the talent on the Browns he has to slide out to one of the OLB spots.
I am of the opinion that the Browns are deficient at the OLB spots. Schobert is a starter. I think we can us an upgrade.
Orchard should be in there....but he has not proven to be anything but backup depth.
I still think a killer pure OLB may be a high draft target....more so than DE.
And I also think with the base 4-3 that a DT may be a high draft target...more so than a DE.
So... it is possible that Allen may be more in play at #1 than people think.
Or Caleb Brantly or Carlos Watkins in round 2.
Or in that 2d round you could see a former Schobert teammate take over for him: TJ Watt. (or the likes of McKinley/Tim Williams/Reddick/Cunningham
