  • Ok, i can head off to work now?‍♂️.. the Dutch'er has found his crankie Morning Archie Bunker recliner..😆... ?️   

    posted the same back than & am posting the same again with Berry back..

    Sashi, like Depo could not white board a football play nor Zone Blocking scheme on a white board if they were asked..they both may shop a Good Feet store, but neither could tell ya what a NFL dancing bear even looks like..?

    stripped a roster down to studs with barely any true NFL level scouting staff to build it back, But Andrew Berry.. (SparQ scores seemed to oversee true game scouting)..than Sash also found out, adding any vet'd FA's came with a over priced, Cleveland price tag (not all on Sashi either, but maybe Haslam needed a analynic report card too) 

    At some point, Berry thought bringing in Grigson, a former Colts GM that traded for Trent Richardson was a good idea...

    If this plan includes gathering all scouting reports from wolfe's & highsmith's scouting staff, than turning them loose after Combine or draft? Were simpleton Fuucck'd again.. much worse than Dorsey tossing Depo's anal papers into the trash..? 

    Am Staying tuned, cause I do like the possible

    a) Coaching Staff Kevin is seeming to put together "on Paper"

    b) Not much in brash player, ego tweets like we have done anything after losing to the Bengals..

    A Smarter, quieter team ego maybe off to it's best start? and That may have started with the hiring of Kevin Stefanski?

    Could wait that long, I guess.

    The @Browns have decided to officially part ways with assistant GM Elliot Wolf and VP/personnel Alonzo Highsmith now that Andrew Berry has been hired as GM, per sources

    You're going to ride that pony into the sunset for the rest of your life, aren't you?

    Sashi was to blame for nothing... Berry was to blame for nothing... DePodesta was to blame for nothing... 

    But when something actually went right in those two years, Tour can hand out platitudes to Sashi like a Kentucky outgoing governor handing out pardons... 

    I'm somewhere in the middle on this Dutch. There's plenty of blame to spread around for 1-31, but mighty hard to pin it on just one or a group of individuals. The super top secret nuke of the roster. Well Sashi is no longer around to put the blame on this time. We do have one given the the Hubatross sure was a contributing factor. 

    Beyond that Depodesta and Haslam are the only constants. For sure, should the Browns continue to suck Depodesta is gonzo. I'm willing to at least give Berry a chance until proven otherwise. I doubt if he had a major hand in the previous train wreck Haslam would have rehired him. 

    I'll agree with Canton Mike that there's no sense rehashing past failures, or saying this is going to be a big FAIL before we've ever played a game this year. Yeah- I know the boo-birds already have the guns locked and loaded to take pot shots at Stefansky the first time things don't go well.

    Disagree on Depo because Jimmah will be in the position to know who has contributed what to whatever success or failure we experience.

    On Berry... have to first remember that he was not part of the 2018 housecleaning. He left in 2019. So he was already seen as above the fray that led to Sashi's ousting. That said...

    More and more I think this 2020 edition of the Browns' FO is squarely on Berry. I think he is going to in fact be the "decider GM in chief" many here falsely believe Sashi was.

    Gone is the consensus process... welcome to the age of collaboration.

    Doesnt matter... They will still suck...

  • Nice to see Jimmah hired the 6th GM under his command....what possibly could go wrong?

    I expect Elliot Wolf will soon be preparing his PowerPoint presentation, as to why he wants out of Cleveland.

    Who didn't see that one coming?

    I guess that leaves an opening for Ray Farmer.

    And to my great satisfaction, I noticed Berry is left handed- like a disproportionate number of geniuses are. Graduating with a Masters degree from Harvard at 21 probably qualifies.  🙂  (If you're left handed like me, it's the first thing you notice)  Add in Bill Gates, Oprah, Leonardo DaVinci, Michelangelo, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, and plenty of others.

    I could only find a link to firing Highsmith with Wolf TBD. You got one showing Wolf fired too?

  • The Director of College Scouting Steve Malin has also been let go.

    ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported the Browns also decided to part ways with assistant GM Eliot Wolf. But Mortensen later amended his report to say there is an ongoing discussion about whether Wolf will remain with the Browns or leave them.

    A source confirmed Wolf’s future with the franchise has yet to be decided.

    Wolf will be gone too. This is just posturing so the Browns can say “Hey, we tried to keep him” Just like they did to Dorsey

    OUR OWNER SUCKS!!!!!!!!

    Left-handed, right-handed, ambidextrous, write-with feet, do the locomotion...none of it matters as long as Mr. Jimmy owns the team. All they are doing is re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It's that simple. 

  • Supposedly Wolf has said, 'Later dudes!'.

    I do not like the fact that well respected talent evaluators are now gone.

    Chris Rose said today that a guy he knows at the Eagles said, They couldn't drive Berry to the airport fast enough.

    I've got a BAD feeling about this.   Again.

    Rumors are already swirling that Wolf's position will be filled by another brilliant Ivy League mind, Andy Bernard from Cornell.

    Great!  Once again we're going to out-smart the rest of the league.
