    You the same guy that said an offense should never run the ball in today’s NFL because it takes away from passing attempt numbers??

    No this is an indictment of how garbage the Browns pass D was last year. They allowed their opponents to complete nearly 70% of their passes. They were making scrubs look like Joe Montana.

    I guess I’m confused. So the argument here for dumping Shelton is the fact that our pass D was so bad that we don’t need to bother stopping the run either so what’s the point? 

    Again...

    Rushing Defense was #7 against run. 

    Per attempt was 3.4 good enough for #2 in the league. 

    Man... what a scrub Danny was

  • Not a fan of this move Dorsey. 

  • While this surprises me somewhat, I still think there's a great chance Corey Coleman is not on the Opening Game roster.

    Christ... Dumping Coleman would make more sense then this move. Coleman hasn’t produced a damn thing since he has been here.

    Because the Patriots third round pick is like maybe one or two away from the first pick in the 4th round. Where you find All Pro defensive lineman everyday...

    ...... almost as unlikely as finding a HoF QB in the 6th.

    You are creating arguments I never made. You would make a great wife. I already stated that I don’t get this move.

    I wanted to know if there was a smaller sample size because teams didn’t have to bother with running against the Browns. Like the fellas with an insane QBR because they have a limited number of passes.

    Sure helps when they have all day to throw the ball.

    There were several moving parts to that abortion.

  • The truth is, the Patriots play different defenses, but they don't have a big NT once Alan Branch

     retires/leaves - he's 33. All their other dlinemen are 315/300. Adding Shelton to the mix will help them

    avoid another super bowl, where they faced an excellent defense, and they gave up about 150 yards rushing

    at the worst times. That third round pick can get the Browns a very good player that fits.

    I admire Danny Shelton - but he can shine as a NT for the Patriots. Good luck to him.

    Cal, get out of here with that reasonable response. We either rage or love roster changes around here.

    Yeah, you can't fall in love with a particular player (with maybe the exception of Joe Thomas) Bill B doesn't. Let's face it, for where he was drafted Shelton under performed at least a little. Haloti Ngata he isn't.

    he's not a 4-3 guy plan and simple he played less than 50% of plays last year infact the exact # was 44% so i really do not understand why some people here are flipping out they make it sound like Shelton was headed for a yellow jacket

  • not sure what 5th we lost? we own 2.(packers #150) or are own at #159?  this trade maybe the one Dorsey did not want to bring a black cloud into yesterdays sunny day..But sounds like May 2nd extention was not going to happen..did we know he was on trade block to Denver last season?    https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2018/3/10/17104362/browns-trading-dt-danny-shelton-to-the-patriots  

  • Was Shelton THAT bad that THIS is the best we could do for him?

  • Apparently so

    Depo still sits in the same hot seat..I'd say they knew his value in & out the door.. 

  • Shelton was a slow fat butt who really never did anything great.  No loss.

    Next time your selling something that has value let me know, ill be sure to offer ya 10% of the asking price if you like giving stuff away.

    If Danny was so bad, why did Billy want him. This reminds me of Sheard. 

    Guess I'll just trust Dorsey more than those of us internet GMs crying here........ 

    Time will tell.
