If this sentence was true, there would be no use for this thread.
edit: Whom is the other rookie on the Oline?
Typed that sentence in a hurry - my error. I meant in relation to the two rookie RB's we have. They were playing well before the O-Line was struck - losing Mack was major. So I was actually refering to the running backs (rookies), accounting of course for the departure of Tate.

They're rookies. Good line play and good RB play go hand in hand. Emmitt Smith isn't Emmitt without the Cowboys dominant Oline. Can't expect to be an effective runner with a NT in your lap while still in the backfield.

I absolutely DO take into consideration all the injuries to the O-Line, but I'm not sure I'm sold on the two rookies who did so well earlier this year when the whole team was. I think they have the potential if and when the O-Line gets healthy and set. Any draft ideas? I'd love to see Wisconsin's Gordon in Brown and Orange. Or do with stick with what we got when the next season starts with (hopefully) a healthy O-Line.

Tiamat, do you read Zacheriah Sitchen?If this sentence was true, there would be no use for this thread.
edit: Whom is the other rookie on the Oline?
Bernie means West and Crowell. I'm not sold on West but we haven't seen enough of Crowell. With all our losing seasons and draft picks you'd think we'd have a Le'Veon Bell, JJ Watt or somebody. Thank God they got it right trading T Rich. But got it wrong in the draft. It will be different in April
DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD! -
That's not me - sorry.
Quit apologizing! Go to scout.com, you can say what you want without being scrutinized and called juvenile names.

Rookie backs are both good backs, and fine options.
Healthy Mack and depth will go a long way, but it'd be nice to get guys who can get to the next level and not whiff on the right side, or pull successfully. Greco seems he isn't a very good pulling guard.

I wish we had Bridgewater too. He looks like a real QB and a potential star in this league.
That's my hope, and he WAS thrown to the dogs this year with a patched up team mostly. I kind of put him in the Hoyer-Manziel catagory "wondering what could have been" without all the injuries around them. One thing that's odd about following the Browns and the Vikings is how similiar their fates seem to match (injuries, records, bad luck).

He's thrown for a few 300 yard games and anyone seen his completion % the past few games. He's gotten better as the season progresses.
71.4% vs Panthers
70.4% vs Jets
75.6% vs Lions
- It was the highest completion percentage in a game for a rookie quarterback with at least 40 attempts in NFL history."From Week 9 on, Bridgewater has the third-best accuracy percentage under pressure out of 34 qualifying quarterbacks, per Pro Football Focus premium. He clearly has a knack for operating in the tight confines of a pocket and has even grown in that regard."

I can't tell if the bold is a pick up line?
Also, aside from Manziel - I'd say Farmers first draft and following UDFA period were a complete home run.

And why didn't we get him?
Because we never embraced him. He didn't want to be here because of our approach during draft day. Our organization is run by a bunch of morons.

"Asked whether there was a possibility that he might have been picked by Cleveland, Bridgewater said: "There was a chance, but I actually told my agent that's not the place where I wanted to be. Throughout this entire process I felt comfortable with the Minnesota Vikings. Every visit that I had with the team, you know, there was a family environment and the players, great guys. A great group of guys. So I felt comfortable wanting to play here.""

You think they'll pan out with a good O-line or we need to get a Gordon-type draft pick?

I was hoping one of my teams got him so at least he's a Viking. Thanks for the quote - never seen that one!

Thanks for the info - I think he's going to get his head handed to him next week, but welcome to the NFL Bong!

They were great with a good O line. Why wouldn't they be next time?
We had a gordon type pick a few years ago named Trent Richardson. Why do you think Gordon would do better than him, Crowell or West???

Oh good, more 'witty' nicknames, we were short on those.
How about Bridgeovertroubledwater?
Too long? Too lame? Both?

How many here would put their vote of confidence in Browns owner Nimmy Hasbeen? Obviously the front office is a trainwreck - can he rehabilitate it? Nothing wrong with the coaching staff and the players when most of them aren't regulars to the Cleveland Clinic Emergency Room.
Can Hasbeen make the right changes?

They use University Hospital now.

but he IS ultimately responsible, which is why I'm asking.
The owner of a team isn't a factor? Is meaningless? How I wish that were true!
So, my question to you is: What has changed in the FO between the time we were 6-3 and now?
What could Haslem POSSIBLY have done to make us lose 4 out of the last 5?
