  • I just don't think now is the time to get cute, and put that kind of responsibility on Bito right now.. He's a rook and that's tough enough.

    tml,

    See anything Sunday that told you all McD needs is one more week of practice?

    Yeah- McCoy blew him up and steamrolled him more than once.

    All good practise for Geno Atkins. If McCoy is 'arguably the best DT in the league' then Atkins is probably in the argument.

    Fortunately for the Browns, Geno has been slow rounding back into form from his injury.

    And to me, basic logic says minimize the moves. Fewer linemen that have to adjust to a different position, the better.

    All things being equal I agree... fewer moves the better. But I'm not sure all moves are equal here. This week should tell. If gelling continues and improvement is seen, then roll with McD.

    Conversely Painter might not be up to stepping in at LG. All I know is that Painter showed faster and stronger than McD (combine vs. Pro-day) and Painter's agility approached Bito's (combine shuttle and cone drills).

    Lol, I'm an echo.

    McD getting planted firmly on his ass says enough.

    For anyone who might need a painful reminder.

    Now will Pettine make adjustments more to your liking? We can hope. Got a short week of practice and into Thursday night at Cinc, so McD gets what, about 3 days to improve in dealing with Geno Atkins?
