Browns activate..........................DE anthony zettel......

you cut productive, or at least semi productive players when you have more productive players in mind. Detroit has no DE depth and they still cut him.

Link is broken

With you on this one clev. With resources galore and trying to balance the win now vs. win later, l don’t get why cutting the DL depth at zero hour was deemed necessary.
Maybe these dudes will pan out and make me see the light, but right now it feels like we had a perfectly functional unit ready for the season and then blew it all up for greener pastures.
BTW your link isn’t really linking, but l’m assuming it’s something damning that will further my flustration.

Players always leave their team and thrive elsewhere.

Ok, it’s not as damning as l thought. He does some things well, not terribly diverse, but motivated.

This thread is annoying.
LACK of bottom-of-roster churn is a symptom of a negative, non-winning culture.
Yes, Nassib can occasionally do something NFL-worthy.. but those flashes were not consistent game to game. Zettel may not be good at much - but he is better than Nassib at pass rush, and we lacked PR last season.
This move speaks to a desire to have instant PR off the bench, much like a bench NBA player who's no-D but shoots the lights out.. say Jamal Crawford.

His overall Pro Football Focus grade was okay (70.7) but his pass rushing grade was not (60.6). He was also just not a very versatile guy. He’s not someone you’d want to drop in to coverage, and we saw plenty of time he had trouble setting the edge—either falling victim to rollouts or play-action.

Back during Week 3 of the preseason, head coach Matt Patricia said something very telling.
“I would say the roster in general, a philosophy for us would always be if you only do one thing on this roster, it better be extremely well and at an extremely high level.”
Anthony Zettel could only do one thing on this roster, and to be frank, he didn’t do it an extremely high level.
-
well, whatever....we'll get to see him this weekend prob.
-
Giving Shelton away for a bag of footballs and then cutting Meder were both head scratchers for me

Ya, we already did a thread on this, if you are not plowing the bottom of the roster, you're not doing your job. Orchard and Nassib underachieved... if you are clinging to the bottom of the roster after year three or year four, the team will probably take a look at somebody else with some upside they like.
Only thing I blame new front office for so far, is not going out and signing a veteran left tackle back in the spring so a promising guy like Harrison isnt starting Day 1 and holding back the team while we install a new offense.

What does it say about the state of our roster that Zettel's level, even if it is nowhere near Garrett, was still greatly above that of everyone we cut?

Except, I thought that they did with the signing of Greg Robinson. No?

Well, if you think he is better than the guys we cut, then what it says about our roster is that it should be improved.
Fair to say?

He was a dude that was on the street since last year, that they took a flyer on.
I guess other than Nate Solder there wasn't a lot out there though, so I guess I mean Nate Solder.

Well....it was just one game. If this guy is as talented as believed (and everyone believed he was talented, he just did not get drafted because of off field issues), then can we assume that he will improve game by game?
