    Ball Hawking DB. What he does well, can’t be coached. If you’re a QB, you don’t want to put up a 50-50 ball on this Dawg!

      I'm kind of confused by this. We bring in a DC that likes to run zone coverage and we bring in a man corner. 

      Wilks uses a heavy amount of pattern matching and boundary lock as well.    You can put Greedy to the short side of the field and let his physical gifts (man press) take over while you have the rest of the defense in their call.   Also he plays a pretty large amount of cover 6 lock too.    Think - Josh Norman at one time.

      Ok I can get behind that. We may need to give him some rabies injections so he can attack someone in the ground game

          Seems like I saw this round table that mentioned him in relation to his very small amount of tackles. Wasn't paying attention because I didn't think he was going to be a brown. Anybody else?

            is this really the browns? how does this keep happening? months ago befire we picked up richardson and traded the 17th away....i still had my heart set on one of those DT's, but greedys nsne keot coming up so i checked him out. Tge piece i read about him months ago stated he'd be a good mate for ward and might be a better pure cover out of college than ward was.

            im still shaking my head how that guy was there st 46 when people were wondering if he wouldnt be gone by 17

                Nobody in the NFL runs "one" coverage, ever..

                In any 3-down sequence, you could have.. one play cover zero, one play pattern-match on half the field and man with no help the other half, and one play quarters.

                A player who's good at man will likely also be good at zone but vice versa is not always true.

                Greedy is good at both.. he's a first-team All American who led the SEC in picks for a reason.

                Great pick, well worth moving up 3 picks to snag.  He's PFF's top-rated cover CB.

                Now if only the rumors are true about Darron Lee so crossing routes won't be open 100% of the time this season..

                  i think that would have happened by today. But yeah, we add Lee without giving up a major piece.....i mean fuck, break up the browns already thats just not fair

                    Deion is who I thought of, and told Canton Mike about it.

                    He is an outstanding shut down cb. and not small.

                    and blazing tenacious and fast. 4.3 something.

                    Amazing he was still there.

                      from watching video of him - teams regretted it when they DID throw to his side.

                          Many had him as the top CB in the draft. Amazing value mid 2nd round. There's our defense. We need a LB or two for competition, but we are ready to boogie.

                            I love both picks - it took some research on the Takitaki lb pick, but I'm good. They got it right.

                            and for Greedy to fall?

                            hell yes, go man to man all day long.

                              https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/the-story-behind-new-browns-cornerback-greedy-williams-nickname

                              At 6-foot-2, Williams boasts rare, instinctive cover skills that had him projected as a first-round pick in most mock drafts. Browns general manager John Dorsey said Friday he was surprised Williams was still available at No. 46.

                              "I thought he'd be one of the first five guys picked off the board (in the second round)," Dorsey said.

                               

                              The deal required the Browns to move up three picks, trading Nos. 49 and 144 to Indianapolis for their selection, No. 46. The No. 144 pick was acquired in the Browns' trade of running back Carlos Hyde to Jacksonville early in the 2018 season.

That is a learned trait from a young age. That is an instinctive trait and following from the eyes. He has played the position to the point where he has a nice intuitive feel about the game of football.”

                                      Sherman became a somewhat better run stopper as his career progressed, didn't he? Yes it's a current deficiency with Greedy but it's something that can be worked on. This just became a potentially ridiculous defense. Good god had we gotten Thomas or Berry and perhaps even Lee....the govt would come trustbusting to Cleveland. Im a little bit dizzy about it tbh. Almost like, this can't really be happening....this just doesn't happen to Cleveland.

                                        "I have no problem with his tackling," Dorsey said. "He will get you down. Corners are paid to cover. The tackling aspect, just get the guy down."

                                          The three players I wanted this draft.

                                          Nick Bosa

                                          DK Metcalf 

                                          Greedy Williams

                                          Nick wasn't happening, Metcalf was a luxury pick.  and our Steeler troll doesn't like Greedy, which means he's jealous...
