i guess your opinion only applies to the steelers?

i could have swore you've posted how great the browns rookies are going to be and improve the team.

just sayin.

hence the reply...irony...which you dont apparently understand. am i to accept that homo can claim their OL completely fixed before pads are put on, while at the same time denigrating us for being excited about our new offensive skill positions? how is he not guilty of the same which he busts on us for? are you smarter than a fifth grader?

seriously....you must be fucking Retarded. why is it that people must point out the painfully obvious hypocritical statements made constantly on this site? the circle of stupid keeps going around, and its the same shit over and over again.

your current outlook is sad...so very sad. you want more to be right about all this than you want the browns to win. "im taking all your names down and im gonna throw it back in your faces if youre wrong". GTFO with that childish, grade-school bullshit mik. its so very sad you cant handle yourself more akin to your age. what if you're wrong? pardon those of us that thinks taking back to back top 10 CB's is a fucking waste....cause we know that was the problem last year.

at one point, i respected your football acumen. now youve recessed to a cry-baby....all because you didn't get your way. im sure youre proud.

edit: and please find any post of me gushing over any one of our picks. i purposefully do not post absolutels, cause I, unlike most everyone else, recognize my football intelligence is limited.

Did you follow the draft at all? Did you pay attention to our offensive line last season? Adams and DeCastro were both labeled leading in to the draft as "PLUG AND PLAY" offensive lineman. Yes they are both VAST improvements over what we had there previously. Kemo was a god damn mental midget and always taking stupid penalties. He was a liability in pass protection as well. We had an injury turnstile and both tackle positions. The Steelers obviously think enough of Adams to move Colon in to guard and are essentially saying the positions are there for both rookies if they take advantage of the opportunity. DeCastro was the most NFL ready offensive lineman in the draft. If he were a tackle he would have been the first lineman off the board BUT as we all know guards aren't as high on the priority list as tackles which is why both Kalil and Reiff went higher. YES our offensive line from what we had will be vastly improved. Please break it down and argue otherwise.

Do it to it! Getting to Ben is looking like it's going to be less likely moving forward. Willie Colon is moving in to Guard with either Gilbert or Adams at LT, Colon, Pouncey, DeCastro, Gilbert/Adams. The line is vastly improved. Ben is still going to get sacked because of his style of play but I'm super stoked for this coming season because the line has the potential to be very good.

We aren't going to keep him viable to play just 4 games.

If he can't play by game 6, he is placed on IR and the season is over.

What about our playoff run next year.

@harry-buffalo said:

PUP first then IR I would imagine. Since he tore it so early there is still the chance he could be ready with 4 weeks or so left in the season so we will have to wait and see.

He's with the cardinals now I believe and I also really liked Eason. He was a class act and produced when he was asked to step in, he'd be a good pick up but unless they released him he's with the Cards.

EDIT: I just read above. Paxton? He was with the Steelers for a bit as well but didn't play much but also labeled as a high character guy.

He fucked up Roethelstiltskin. I may buy his jersey.

I was impressed with the play of Nick Eason last year....I wouldn't rule him out.

@choco said:

at which time we're vying for the #1 pick. so just put him on IR.

No point to NOT put him on the PUP first and then the IR if things don't pan out.

@the-gipper said:

Needless to say, Schaefering, Winn, Hughes will probably all be in some rotation...and possibly that FA acquisition that Homotron mentioned. (I agree that it is a possibility that someone else may be picked up).

Needless to say I think Taylor will probably be put in the IR.

The Browns tendered Brian Schaefering this offseason for a couple years. I'd bet he is the week 1 starter barring a huge camp from Winn or a miraculous recovery from Taylor.

On the contrary. Now that Phil Taylor seems to be out for the year, The Sausage King may indeed by under a deal of pressure to contribute at the DT spot opposite Rubin. There may be others that might also be candidates to fill in, but I think Hughes may be the Prime Suspect. Who might be the other candidates? Winn? Schaefering?.

I loved Winn coming out and thought he was a huge steal. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see them bring someone in via FA rather than attempt to throw a rookie in on a starting basis. You'll see Richardson and Weeden obviously but I'd anticipate the others drafted will be special teams gunnars/blockers until they earn their keep. Paxton possibly? No matter what the situation sucks pretty large for you boys in Brown and orange. I would have loved to get a shot at Taylor last draft but he obviously went well before we picked. Happy to have Ta'amu in the fold now though so it worked out. You'll see a camp battle for that other spot, don't be shocked if Winn earns it.

Homotron said:

If Hughes has anything in his favor it's that he isn't going to be pressured to contribute. Woodley came back early and re-injured his, he wasn't right all season as a direct result.

If Training Camp starts in early August it may only be about 10 weeks away. Hopefully that is enough time to heal. Hillis had nothing like that kind of time before he was pressured to get back in there and start contributing.

Homotron said:

My point is they take a while to heal. You act like the offseason is 5 months away. It's right around the corner.

@ballpeen said:

Again, is there any conformation of this???

Grossi mentioned it on ESPN. But he also said that he was just getting it iced on the sideline and that it was a tweak, not a full on tearing pull like Hillis dealed with. Even if it is, one again, months to heal.

Ya, a hammy takes a month to heal. When is preseason again? August. He is going to be fine. Unbunch your panties please.
