Final 53....or not...

  • We were never going to fix every position this off season.

    An issue with the low CB/LB nose count is that is where core ST'mers come from. Barring multiple, single-game injuries to one position, I think more Game Day impacts will come from ST's than the D.

    You have to look at the PS as well... and right now it has a LB and a DB. More of each will be added. Some will likely come today from the names in the 2nd wave of waives we unleashed yesterday. They will practice with us and be available the week after any need may arise... same as an Inactive on the 53.

  • Seems we may actually carry four QBs into the first week... http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-5/Need-to-Know-Browns’-4-quarterback-room-likely-temporary/e9df25ab-407b-4415-99ec-41870bf48125

    How much further will we carry four? Probably not much... This quote from the article makes me think the Kess speculation may be warranted.

    “I think what is important is how we want to play on offense, in our system and getting to play. This is a new year, so we are starting over a little bit,” Jackson said.

    The thing that Kess showed was not new this year was his willingness to throw down the field. And we know that is part of how Hue wants to play...

    Both Kizer and Hogan were willing. If Woodrum was/is as well...

  • I counted 5 CB's:

    1) Jamar Taylor

    2) Jason McCourty

    3) Darius Hillary

    4) Marcus Burley

    5) Boddy-Calhoun

    They cut Burley and Hillary....then picked up Jordan.....which leaves 4

    Do they still have a DB on the PUP list?

  • We should be alright. 4 QBs is a little weird though

    Howard Wilson.....a 4th or 5th round pick.....who I believe is out for the season.....(and, if not, will be coming back from a major injury with zero practice or experience).....

    4 cb's is weirder....I promise....we play 3 consistenly and if one goes down, we have only 1 guy left....and he has no experience and was just cut a few days ago....gonna leave us very exposed.....

    I cant think of a year that we didnt have one or 2 go down for a measurable period....and w/o a legit #1 cb, we are gonna be eating some dirt in the defensive backfield fo sho......if our top guy goes, then well have a #3 covering ones.....a 4 covering 2's etc......not good.....

  • Based on what I heard Hue mention about making a decision about the QBs later this week. I suspect they will cut/trade one of them and then add  Burley or someone back to the 53. That would be my guess, but who really knows.

  • could they decide to insert the Swiss Army knife of Mr. peppers into a back up corner roll 

  • Dont forget, you only dress 46... and you have 10 PS plus every other teams PS to bring up during the season
