  • Davis was less then good frankly i could out play him..Veikune on the otherhand will be an nfl favorite in a short period of time...i ussually will not go say such things of an nfl rook but ive seen a lot of footage on this kid from a HU fan that has said for 2 years this kid will own the nfl as an ilb/olb...and i can say he will stop the run and effect the pass immediately and only get better..this guy is really strong with solid instincts and a non stop motor and work ethic i think im higher on him then mangini...hehehehe

    In 2 years everyone will know his name...😉

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • It's just another indication, more and more, than this year's Browns draft was very, very clever.

    The picks are high motor, intelligent guys who love football, and they can play.

    I love it.

    I share your same sentiments. When the Browns drafted him my nephew (Bengals fan) laughed and said WHO? I said that is someone I was hoping the browns would get, so I was psyched immediately

  • I thought it was interesting that the media never got ahold of Barton's contract details. Usually, that happens when an agent isn't all too proud of the deal his client signed. And that makes sense here, given that we seemed to be the only team pursuing Barton.

    Barton's play in the second Buffalo game was just terrible, so much so that it could have scared off a lot of potential suitors. He was a lot better earlier in the year, which makes me think that he's better suited working in a rotation or as a third ILB. He'll get worn down if we rely on him to fill the SILB spot, so having Bowens or Veikune split time there with him makes a lot of sense.

    I would love to know what Mangini's feelings are concerning both outside LB spots. They really didn't address it in the off season. There's not much depth there and I know it's the reason most think Veikune is destined for an OLB spot.

    Does the lack of activity mean he's happy with Wimbley and Hall? Will Maiava be on the two deep at OLB?

    Maybe he thinks Benard and Foster could make this team in reserve roles? Are we sure Bowens isn't destined for the Outside?

    I'd sure feel a lot better if something was worked out that would bring Kiwanuka here.

    I'd love to know what the FO and staff is thinking.

    But as far as the inside it seems this team is loaded. Jackson, Barton, Bell, Williams, Bowens, Hunt, Ruud,

    Agreed, Cal. They've really locked in on a "type," like the Pats always did. Smart, high-character winners... who can also play. We'll see how quickly that permeates the team. Seems like the right guys for Quinn to lead, too.

    You know, just maybe Braylon -- by all accounts a very likable guy involved with the community -- relocates that better version of himself now that Winslow is out and all these "character guys" are in.

    Hell just froze over!

    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

  • Oh, hush, Tob. GGG

    Browns fans first and foremost.

  • ROFLMAO !

    I almost choked on my green pepper steak on that one.

    I think I'll change it now. GGG

  • I had to block the NRA thing with my left hand, though (!). Shep

    ******************************************************

    Okay, I fixed it.

    It's a pic of my favorite player. Don't know if anybody will figure it out...

    hint: my guess is that Steve might...

  • Sorry, had to make that one after all the clashing you and Shep did Cal.

    You two went on longer than Shep and I did and I'm a "Start from the trenches and work your way out guy" too.

    I just find it humorous to see you two agree on anything outside of your love for the Browns.

    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

  • Well, Tob - that was a good one...

    I'm still wating on seeing who may figure out my new avatar.

    I already even gave a great hint. @@
