Browns LB won money off Mangini at Minicamp
-
He's growing on me everyday, but I still am hung up on him vs. Rey. If Rey has a better career I will be disappointed. Veikune seems like a great athlete but somethings missing, how hard can he hit? I saw the vid of that one block he threw in college, but will he be a game changer?

Well you need to get over that fact real quick. Do you think Rey would have came here would he have been productive? I don't think so but in the end it doesn't matter what I think or you do. It's what the coaches think and what's best for the team and building a winner. They didn't think he would fit in the system so we didn't draft him.
I'm not trying to be an a-hole but I'm sick of the Cleveland media saying we should of picked him when he didn't fit our scheme. Didn't we have enough of that for the last ten years?

I don't know about you blokes, but I wasn't sure how to say his name. Apparently, the Warriors have a program pronunciation guide for slow/non-worldly types like me.
I'm sure most here have heard it on the FM dial, but I hadn't.Hawaii Warriors Pronunciation Guide

Hey, the bombs were absent for Anderson last year anyway. Teams figured him and the offense out. There really isn't anything to miss.
maybe it was Chud teams figured out...and Anderson was just running plays.
just sayin'.

if the Jets were in the AFCN, would they have fared so well?
facing the Steel and the Rats twice a year will be a real test of Mangini's "D" mettle.
although some contend Veikune was projected for the LOLB, the reports i've seen have shown him an ambidextrous player that is adept at either side. if he doesn't dethrone the current incumbents he will no doubt push them all to another level. a quality pick by the new regime with tons of upside in my mind.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. There are plenty of chuckleheads in the lockerroom who really aren't "team first" guys. Not only that, but some bad attitude guys who have influence over younger guys. Some of these dudes roll in a really bad way. Mangini isn't done yet.

The headline on OBR said that Veikune will be an ILB! I also read another one stating that Mangini wants him to play both ILB and OLB. We know how much Mankok emphasises versatility. I think he can definately play ILB, his combine was very similiar to Rey's.
He's big enough and fast enough, Im just still worried about his aggressivenes.... and by that I mean if he has any.

Mangini said he's gonna start him at inside backer and depending on how he picks up the system and how he performs he could be moved to OLB but for now ILB is his starting point. That could be his exact words if I remember correctly

care to name drop? you've piqued my interest Earl.
are you referring to some Dline FA pickups they've added the past couple years?
still, on the whole, you must agree they are in the top third of the NFL for "decent Joes". if not i'd say you're probably nitpicking.
