Oh Lord... please tell me we are not heading back to the ZBS again.

Is that what Haley ran in Pittsburgh?

You’re well aware Haley and Mike Munchak run a mix of power and zone schemes. The Steelers leaned on a lot of Counter OF, the famous Georgia Counter that ripped off so many chunk yards in 2014. Steelers often run this out of a heavy personnel. Can have one or two tight ends to the playside with the backside guard (BSG), usually right guard David DeCastro, pull in conjunction with the backside tight end.

I heard on the radio that this kid fits into Haley's run blocking/zone blocking schemes perfectly; we shall see.

Good post logic..these so called versatile O-lineman need to come to the pros and settle in on one position first.Cam Erving found out he's only versatile as a back-up G in KC. Paid no 5th year option to earn his actual worth. In this play scheme G Will Hernandez just makes more sense imo & was BPA on the board. Am still clueless why we would be drafting a G anyway. My best guess on A. Corbett is,say so long to Durango or S.Coleman..Maybe back-up C Reiter as well..

I can't see Corbett at OT...

Williams' arm-length at 33" became an issue. Corbett's? 33-1/8"

Williams' 7.83 sec. 3-cone was testament to his feet. Corbett's? 7.87...

He ain't Bito... looks like inside depth to me...

It'll be interesting to see how Coleman responds. If Bitonio didn't get 2 seasons cut short to lower extremity injuries - I could see them throwing him into the competition. That said, it would be nice to keep both OGs and Center in place while we look to change starting personnel at both Tackle spots. I feel like we've missed some opportunities to add some better blocking TEs in the last couple drafts.

Anyway, here's a draft profile of Austin.

Zombo

If the other four lineman stay healthy, the only place Corbett emerges is at LT. I think he takes on Coleman for the role, and I'd bet on the current GMs second rounder over the former GMs 3rd rounder every time.

I feel a New Orleans (Nawlins) bet brewing...

I'm in on the bet, but don't think I am making the Nawlins game. It is the weekend before the Jets Thursday Night Game which has been chosen as the Browns Board Tailgate this year.

If I didn't have a girlfriend with a real job I would make it a fun week and do both, but I do (as of this writing).

Not to get side tracked here but how do I get more info on this?

When it gets closer we will post details. But basically we all meet at tailgate spot down by the river and party and play cornhole.

Many of us fly in for it, and party on the town, catch a Tribe game etc. I think it will be a long tailgate with a night game!

At least your girlfriend has a real job....

OK, I think I can do Cleveland.

Week 1 LT starter: Me - Shon Coleman; Z - Corbett...

Dinner? Game Tix? Other? What's your pleasure?

Hmmm ... let me think was the pri,e shall be ...

Caveat: If Corbett is starting somewhere else along the line due to injury it is a push.

It'd be really weird if a team pulled it's starting LT inside for any reason, but if we cut Reiter loose and Tretter goes down, then I could see it.

If either Coleman or Corbett go down due to injury, I'd call it a push as well.

Prize-wise... I can afford most anything except your bar tab...

Better accept his offer asap Z. Tour has a tendency to chicken out on simple bets. I offered to bet him lunch that Mason Rudolph would be picked in round one. He was convinced he would not be....and he was right....but he would not take the bet for such small stakes. If I were you I WOULD hold out for your bar tab for that weekend.
