    Why? dude rocks dreads...   a lot of people do.

    Certainly in the mix, but which Rnd 1-worthy one falls to us at 26 who is not named Farley?

    Of course if he does and our Med Staff has cleared him, then cha-ching.

    Couldn't tell you which besides Farley are worthy IMHO.   Horn is the big name but aside from the Bama game, haven't watched him.

    Maybe the best hit I’ve seen in College Football

    As much as I hate scUM, most overrated hit in college football.  But JD can thank his lucky stars for it otherwise Mack may have gotten more #1 overall hype.

  • When possible [eg, not in the 2-minute] here's guessing they'll play as many at the same time as possible.. would Clowney kick inside?

    Possible any of them do, my money would be on Takk though.  Myles first sack was from the 3-tech on a 6 man pressure IIRC.   

    But could we see a Gmen lineup with Myles, JD, Gustin and Takk?  Wouldn't rule it out.  

  • Ok Christian Barmore----------------------come on down. Bets anyone?

    Don't know if it's Barmore, but another penetrating DT next to Richardson?

  • One year.... $8mm with incentives for an added $2mm.

    Smart deal.

    Can't wait to see the incentives, but have to guess there's number of starts including playoff starts.

    Berry is going for it in 2021.

    Ditto Tour. Right player at the right price... 

  • One thing that hasn't been talked about is that Berry has brought in guys who want to make a point. It's about pride. Clowney wants to prove he is a top tier player, Takk wants to live up to 1st round potential. Greedy & Delpit want to show what they are made of after injuries. Even Ward is motivated by it being a contract year. These are players with a lot of motivation. Statistically, not all of them will rise to the occasion but there is still a very high potential ceiling.

    3 sacks in his last 22 games played.

    Three.

    He was on our practice squad and that is not equivalent to a 1st round DT take.

  • You think he's ready to be a Brown?

    True.  
     

    Is it Kwity Paye scenario - scheme and getting the pressures but not the numbers? 
     

    Paye had 11 1/2 in 28 games

    Paye had 11 1/2 in 28 games 

    If it is, it must be two consecutive schemes that has held him down.

    He had 3 sacks in 13 games with Seattle prior to having none in half a season with Tennessee last year.

    The Browns needed pass rushing help this offseason. I don't understand how Clowney - who has never been a great NFL pass rusher and is getting worse - and Takk McKinley - who has been a disappointment so far in his NFL career, help this weakness.

    Well, I guess he's due then......

    Can we get pressures, stellar run defense, maybe some pass knockdowns and some overall general concern for him from opposing teams...that’s a major win for us.  Seems attainable too.

    I would have taken Vernon over Clowney easily if it wasn't for Vernon's injury. 

  • Another point of view. And I agree with them both. Watching the offseason changes to the O last year made them fun to watch. I feel the same way with what's happening now with the D.

  • While it remains to be seen if Clowney can stay healthy, I will say that it is great to see the Browns hyper actively trying to fix their glaring deficiency from last year. That alone is all I was asking for and they have exceeded my hopes 2 weeks before draft day.

    ...yeah...that's not very flattering...

    But I once was watching a game and saw a replay of a play that he had just made......he was lined up inside and at the snap of the ball he juked one way, then pounced back in the other direction and tapped the guard on the back as he was leaving him in the dust while wrapping up the QB and ending the play before it even got started.   I remember being in awe ....of somebody of that size, being so blazing quick.....

    We'll see.  

    It's probably a good idea to build a nice rotation for Myles.  We saw how he struggled for breath after having COVID last year.  And who knows how long that lasts?  And who knows what the NFL is going to be like this year, COVID wise?  A good rotation might be a good idea especially in COVID times.

    Sure, a good stable of DLinemen is always a great thing, and Clowney does bring some good things to the table.

    But this team is no better at rushing the QB today than they were when they walked off the field at Arrowhead in January.
