    DQJ fits well into the browns 4-3 defense like a custom glove but has never been great at shedding blockers and because of it he was often targeted and taken out of the mix easily at times, he has excellent awareness and instinct and should improve in this defense now that he has shaken off the rust, he is by far the least of my worries as far as our LBs go..

    DQJ has very good instincts on where the ball is going on the ground but was too often blocked out in route to help our less than stellar left and right OLBs that earned their payday laying on their backs as neither can hold their own long enough for support to arrive..

    If he can improve his block shedding/block avoidance dqj will help stabilize the defense and will challenge for a probowl spot..

    As you can tell i think this was a good move by the regime..

    On a side note after tj ward was injured our run defense quickly destabilized as young is a bad FS but an unforgivably awful SS..

    A team is only as strong as its weakest link..

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

    IMHO, this was another solid move. This regime has shown that they will cut dead wood as needed & pay to keep the viable players. What may be most impressive is that players like Joe Thomas & DQ have CHOSEN to stay here rather than opt for free agency where they would have been popular targets for a number of already good teams. I love the display of loyalty (from players AND FO) & it shows that the players are buying into managements philosophy & goals. It ain't the same as BHH (Before Holmgren & Heckert). So far, we have had 2 solid drafts & some very good contract extensions. I am really pumped for this year's free agency period & draft.

    Fujita is nearly as old as me and Maiva, well, his name just reminds me of Peter Maivia, the Rock's grandaddy.

    That and he is NOT fast.

    And Maiva's Great Grand Daddy.

    Ok, true confessions time. I saw Peter Maivia wrestle in Wheeling, WV in the 70s. I was a kid and it was a trip. He had more tattoos than the entire population of WV combined.

    Wonder if the Rock can play tight end? Maybe LB?

    He played DE for the U and won a national championship. He eventually lost his spot to Warren Sapp after he suffered a sever injury that eventually ruined his chance at playing professional football.

    Specifics on D'Qwell's contract. Seems only 10.4 million guaranteed, not the reported 19 mill.. looks good, good job front office!

    DQJ would make a fast OLB... 😛 ... but does he have the cover skills?

    Not saying he's a bad MLB, but he's not a run stopper. Speed in a MLB can be spectacular, can rack up impressive individual stats, but speed w/o strength in the middle is an invitation to run all day long. DQJ just doesn't have the ability to plug the middle.

    In your debt for spelling "Maivia" correctly... Was wondering WTF "Maiva" was for a half-dozen posts.

    We need more Samoans...

    This is a great first move to this off season. If DQ walks we have another hole to fill.

    Hopefully now we franchise Dawson if we can't work out something for a couple years(not sure if you franchise a guy back to back years??)

    I heard John Clayton say the other day that a player can be franchised 3 yrs in a row and each year they get a 10% raise above the franchise salary

    !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!

    I didn't know that, in fact, I didn't know he was eligible two years in a row.

    Surely, we have a non-kicker we have to get re-signed soon that is worth tagging. When is haden's contract up? We will probably have to start negotiating his send deal soon.

    Zombo

    Haden is signed through 2015, he'll make 10 mil per year until then. As far as re-signing him to a long term that won't happen, the Browns would most likely want to sign him to a long term contract backloaded so he'd end up taking a pay cut in the early years. Haden's agent is Drew Rosenhaus so get ready to say sayonara to Joe come 2015.
