Interested to see the PFF grades

Everyone on here knows there is no such thing as "All I'll say is..." concerning you and Peppers. 

Come on now, who are you kidding.... ?

..... my 1st post in this thread by design, and I'll just say Peppers played pretty damn awesome today. 

Carry on.

I know I was thrilled to see Peppers play at the level of an average starting strong safety today... ????

He had a terrific game.

He had an OK game- sort of what you might expect out of a first round pick. Now about that Denzel Ward feller....

Peppers had better than an okay game. He had a couple of PBUs had some nice sticks. And I agree with you 100% Denzel Ward is just a baller. If Ohio State puts out the 3rd straight defensive Rookie of the Year we should probably grab another one of them next year in the first round.

And to think I wanted (the other ) Chubb. DROY.

A handful of people did, unfortunately

Again, I'll be interested in seeing the PFF grades

PFF isn't the greatest. Sometimes they have some straight up out of whack ratings. For example our offensive line being rated so high for like the last 3 years when we know they weren't good

Our secondary played well. E.J. Gaines too. They wouldn't cave where other Browns defenses have.

Woody- he had a nice game, couple big hits, and pass breakups. Ya see- it's very simple- we don't give a rat's a$$ that he went to Meechigan, just play like a first round pick. Today- he did. so don't get all orgasmic over it. He helped win the game big time, and I'm grateful.

I don't watch much college ball, and don't spend even a second on 'scouting' the players, but I remember watching the NFL Network's red carpet pre-draft show, and Ward really struck me as a man among boys when he and his mom were interviewed. Instead of coming across like most of the others did as being some punk kid, he just came off as a real man and I was stoked when they called his name with the 4th pick. 

I don't remember exactly what it was about him, but I just thought someone was going to get a hard working dude.....

I can give you a little (semi) personal insight on Denzel. Not that his Dad died early, but besides that- went to HS in Nordonia. Brother in Law saw all his HS games. Of course super stud on that level. He's downplayed it so far, but I can freaking guarantee you every kid who grows up in Cleveland playing football dreams of playing for the Browns.

Great for Peppers !

and, will anybody who said we should have drafted Bradley Chubb admit that Ward is a bigtime star, too?
