Just picked Cousins off of waivers from the Ravens. He is projected to play Guard.

So, I mean, has it come to this: we pick up the Ravens dregs? Isn't Pinkston now penciled in between Thomas and Mack? WE can only hope that he learns a lot from the two guys on either side of him.

Just read we got Oniel Cousins off waivers from the Ratbirds. Started four games at RT. Sucked in preseason so he got cut. He is supposed to play guard for us. Depth?

There you have it- if you're not good enough to play tackle, move inside to play guard. The Browns must have seen something.

gourde is a center and wants starter money....doubt he would come here.

Hmmm.... you have to wonder why Dallas released him. He did make the Pro Bowl last year. Point taken about being a center, not a guard.

Though... not to give Rebs any ideas, Mack can play guard in a pinch, AND we can blow all that cap room he thinks we should spend.

I also wouldn't mind St Louis or Oakland picking him up - because I have Jackson and McFadden in fantasy.

Did you see pinkston play against the eagles? He was getting beat like a red headed step child

I have red hair. Do you think you can come and beat me? I seriously doubt it. Cans would be opened on you I am afraid.

What have holmgren and heckert proven that makes you think that they lknow what's going on?????

Fact holmgren great coach, terrible gm...

Fact in philly andy reid had final say on roster and draft picks.

I don't know why browns fans are so sold on them.. sorry I'm not a sheep.. I'm a wolf...

Yes I want to build for the future but at the same time put the most competiitve team on the field.

Yes I want to give colt mccoy a chance to see if he is a franchise qb. Now if the oline sucks and he has no play maker than how can you evaluate him????

Riddle me that!!

You know they have signed wrs, randel el and cochery.

who play behind their drafted wr's....they're compliments, not the main show...

You know nothing about football in todays era. You don't put your hopes in a bunch of rookies and guys who are unproven. I'm going to laugh at u even worse when robo shows u how bad he is.

so you put your hopes in has-been vets? lmao...wait.......bwahahahahahahaha! i didn't realize dan snyder posted here. thats some signature quiality shit right there...

gimme a sec to catch my breath.....

roflcopter......

hold on....

ok....besides, scroll up a bit and find where i said robo would be l33t.....i merely said it was too premature to cut him loose.

See what I would do in madden is sign leonard davis and then when I started blowing out teams put in pinkston to get his rating up.

and your inability to distinguish between the real game and video games is why your cant fathom what i propose. ur not even worth the time really....

i guess the real issue is that im thinking in terms of long term development and stability of the franchise, to grow a long term winner. you dont even know what that means, let alone how to achieve it.

What do u want to discuss next, my favorite color?

robo and mo were 2nd round in '09....and by comparison cant hold wallace's jock. maybe theyre the next limas sweeds....but you dont give up on them after 2 years...especially in the system daboll ran. will they be dominant receivers? doubt it....but they can certainly be effective. lets see before you write them off....K?

Ok tell me what year mike wallace was drafted, now tell me what year robo and momass where drafted

this isn't madden...which is why u dont understand what im learnin ya.

heres a clue...

Receptions 7

Receiving Yards 69

Receiving TDs 0

Where do u see me calling for to or moss??

Difference between us and pitt, is they can realize when u develop players and when u cut ties.

Robo and momass are so slow I had to double check there pictures to make sure they were white.

wallace and brown? they drafted and developed them. perhaps they should sign TO, bring in randy moss from retirement and cut the two of them....lol

Ur plan is gay.. but to each is own...

Tell me though, how the heck do the steelers get mike wallace and antoine brown.

Yeah were happy with slow high character guys

This is why building thru the draft takes time.

problem with your plan is we would never know the answer to whether he can play the position at full speed against elite competition. anyone can get injured on any given play....only a certified idiot would base decisions on a what if. its a physical sport...injuries happen.

@choco said:

conversely, why not let the rookie play so he gets the experience to get better?

we dont need stop gaps....we need long term solutions. stop gaps only prolong that process....especially when that stop gap was let go for not getting it done elsewhere.

Ok but what if the rookie A) is getting our QB killed so we can't evaluate him or our WRS? gets hurt
