We really need better interior lineman and a fullback.

I think finding a competent fullback that can block isn't that hard. We just haven't tried in the past. I still dig JC Copeland as a Tolbert type.

Love the idea of Copeland. He blows people up. 271lbs, but still agile for his size.

Love the quote where Tate said he can't wait to come back and hang out with the fans, head for the east side buddy, hang out on the east side. There are plenty of nice homes in the Kirtland, Concord area.

Heard he bought a house in Strongsville.......

All the talk about how Tate was going to be expensive. Incentive-laden contract rather than guaranteed. And Tate sincerely wanting to be here!

Is it September yet?

At mnimum, it is a strength of his. This, then, raises the value of having someone really quick like Watkins at WR - someone that can make quick plays, screens and such, behind, at, or just beyond the LOS off of play-action. We'll see how things transpire, but we have quite possible the makings of really explosive offense.

I also love how connected Tate is to the fans already. He was responding to people on twitter and seems to embrace what this city has gone through. This guy is ready to prove that he's a full time back and I'm excited. I believe we'll also draft someone too, so we'll have a solid backfield.

If we don't get a FB though it doesn't matter who we pick up in FA. We need a real fucking FB almost more than we needed a high priced FA. I do like the signing though, and Farmer was smart in how he structured the deal. I'm really like Boss Farmer more and more.

Like the 1 time he tore his acl? Or just the normal injuries that most backs have throughout the season. Last season he started every game. Don't really matter at this point we have our guy.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/393653https://brownsboard.com/post/393653Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:30:57 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Ben Tate is a Cleveland Brown on Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:08:24 GMT]]> Thank you, Mr. Haslam. Thank you for realizing that Banner and Scumbardi were holding this

team back from being successful.

And Thank You for putting Mr. Farmer in the GM slot. A lot of us here on the Brownsboard

were calling for it, and you saw it.

The changes are already showing. FA's don't want to come to a bad situation, but they will if they have

no other choice. Guys like the Browns are signing already, could have easily gone elsewhere. Signing

and drafting guys who want to be with the Browns, who love the game, and have the work ethic and character

to help make the fans proud of a winner, is the sign of a solid FO with the right people in place.

Thank you, Mr. Farmer, for being the perfect GM that the Browns have needed for a long time.

Thank you, Mr. Tate, for becoming our favorite rb in a long time, already. Can't wait to watch practices.

Thank you, Browns players, for being ready to turn it into a genuine new era. That's kickass classy.

We fans have been waiting a long, long time for the right people to step into the Browns org and make

the upcoming season an exciting time.

Rock and ROLL !

This FO understands the importance of a good locker room situation. Surround our young talent with players that WANT to be Browns and good things will happen. The Seahawks were thick as thieves.

Last year it was really just Desmond Bryant and Paul Kruger who were the big additions.. and not much came of them. Hopefully this year with these additions we can enhance what our recent additions like Kruger can do out there. I certainly hope Dion Lewis can work well with Tate. All I think we really still need in FA is a CB. Maybe we can get a Champ Bailey on a 1 year cheap deal. Just someone to really lock up this Defense and give us a considerable shot at contention in the immediate future that doesnt lock us in for long term cost.

He said in the interview he had other offers and some for more money but he wanted to come here so I dig him.

Seems like farmer and pettine are a more appealing duo for these free agents than in times past.

I like Tate a lot more than gerhart too.

Bringing in people that want to be here. Heck did you see Whitner's tweets? He was hanging out Downtown and was willing to give out autographs to anyone that recognized him.

Pettine has good personal relations with a bunch of players and as a former player Farmer knows if Pettine is full of shit or not.
