    What is considered a "Turkey"  for a DL?     QB sack/strip/return for TD.....or something else?  (Or, like a Turkey in Bowling....which is 3 strikes in a row....is it 3 sacks on the day?)

    Jacob Phillips stepping up would really be a breath of fresh air.

  • OK, so,  you can't fix everything in one year.   But I will give it to Berry that he made some attempts at helping/fixing the defensive back 7.   Drafted Delpit and Phillips. Injury to Delpit unfortunate. Picked up Goodson.  

    Still, I thought/think there were some moves that could have been made for a veteran LB that have been left on the table. 

  • It was years ago but NEVER forget...The Colts kept the 10-6 Browns out of the playoffs by starting Jim Sorgi and completely looking like dog poo during that game.  I went to Gabriel’s and bought a oddly fitting Colts shirt and wore a dang Colts shirt that day 
     

    The Colts suffered - they were clearly rusty two weeks later and got ousted early from the playoffs but they kept the Browns out of the playoffs.

    Well.... if they don’t trade for a starting linebacker and someone wakes up at safety.... id have a tough time favoring them in any matchup. 
     

    This offense better be prepared to put up 35+ a game to win if they leave it as is....

    I don't see how this defense gets markedly better... The LBs generally are very green and the secondary is perpetually an injury mess.

    The upside is that this schedule, that looked kind of tough I suppose going into the season, now looks weak beyond a handful of games.

    they won't....they have miles garrett and an occasional qb pressure from 1 of the dl....the secondary can't catch a cold .....what happened to vernon....what a bust.....we need alot of d.......they are not very solid at all.....

  • The Yahoo Pick'em line opened at Browns (+1.0) Monday... jumped to 2.5 Tuesday... and then dropped to 1.5 today.

    Not unusual for a line to move, but then to reverse? Unusual...

  • I look for another good weekend for the AFCN including outmatched Cincinnati an interesting game at Baltimore.  Pittsburgh should handle Philadelphia at home and our BROWNS can beat Indy at home at 4:25.

    GO BROWNS, 4-1 really ? Oh yeah.....baby !

    Colts injury report may have something to do with that.

    Not the kind of game where you want your best Tackle out and two starting LBs

    Ah!   What would a sack/strip/fumble recovery/return for TD be?   Some other bird, but more majestic An Osprey?   An Eagle? A Condor?  A Peacock?  A Flamingo? A 5 Keel Billed Toucan? 

    The keel-billed toucan, also known as sulfur-breasted toucan or rainbow-billed  toucan, is a colorful Latin American member of the toucan family and is  also the national bird of Belize. Keel-billed toucans use

    It's an offensive year. No crowd noise. Our defense is getting turnovers which is better than forcing 3 and outs. I think the LBs will get better as the season progresses.

  • A "turkey" for Myles would be 3 sacks.

    Phillips interests me as well. He's the LB from LSU I liked most, so let's see. He's a "blue collar" player.

    What I love is the coaching staff seems sharp. This team can rush, so let them, don't put Baker in a 40 attempt game. It seems like they have a legit staff.

    A Scarlet Macaw comes to mind.
