    Roger That!   That guy was a bum from day one.

    What are you talking about? Didn't he just sack the best QB in the NFL by stepping on his ankle????

      Man, after thinking about what you said above, you aren't wrong. 

      Most of the good OLinemen the Browns have had (off the top of my head) were free agent pickups or high draft picks of the Browns. 

      The reason is the NFL isn't a developmental league without a minor league system.  The NFL relies on the colleges to develop their players.

      Lets see how well guys like Corbett develop.  My guess is they probably won't.

      Could be right, but there’s yet hope for a guy like Forbes or Teller.

        Yes.  The NFL has tried the NFL Europe and other venues like the one just recently that flopped right away so they like the NBA depend on the never ending supply of talent, primary from the semipro P5 conferences, which are almost ready to play professional football.  And they love it virtually free talent.

        A marriage made in football heaven......and now you can easily and legally bet on it.

        And we love it too GO BUCKEYES!

        GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

          The longterm solution might be kidnapping Patriots' Oline coach and forcing him to work for us...

              you don't trade draft picks with Avery's talent..You season them up on the rookie cheap contract, to hopefully replace 15M guys like Vernon..tap the brakes..we finally got some talent by paying some..home growing draft talent must be new to us?

                  When a thread title proclaims "Fixing..."

                  ... it'd be nice to see a fix proposed.

                    Hey, it may not look like that to you, but my proposal, though it might sound kind of a "hispanic solution", was honest.

                      Had I read on, I'm sure I would have found your solution to be good and included some good set plays for corner kicks...

                        Ok....how about trading OBJ and whatever to the Skins for Trent Williams.  Maybe trade Hospital Ward and a pick or two for the guy.

                        If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                          Film room shows Freddie/Monken has abandon leaving a RB or TE in to protect the guy they pulled for taking a beating ?... P.Brown & D.Harris were put on PS's for a reason..Neither add anything to fixing it & are becoming a main part of it when asked to block studs like Bosa's... Next draft is full of good route running TE's...good Blocking TE's? not so much...Trade dead line might have better options? Speaking of Deadline..Trent Williams has to play 6 to get credit for season....Trade Dead line is 10-29-19 at 4pm...There would be 9 games to play left on our schedule..
