<![CDATA[Thoughts on the defensive front from tonights game and holy shit Nassib looks legit..]]>have to admit I was kind of like whhaaaa? with the nassib pick. Frankly I don't see why he couldn't take reps at the strong side olb'er spot if needed. He looks fast. In another year or so he'll be just as strong as Kruger and maybe even a bit faster so who knows.

Ogbah looks slow and non explosive. If it roster gets tight i wouldnt' be adverse to cutting him. Kruger and Orchard will be the starters and frankly both looked kind of good tonight. Krugers pass rush was basically as always but I see he's got his bull back and he used it to set some really good edges and came off his block to at least impede the runner a few times. Orchard the same. I think actually Orchard might be the star of our defense this year. We'll see.

LB'ers i didn't get to pay much attention to, only watched the 1st half will see the 2nd tommorrow. But didn't see much that impressed me. On the play that Kruger tripped up the runner 7 yds behind the los you'd think he would have only made it another couple feet before the pursuit got there...uh nope. He still turned it up for a couple yds. THat's pathetic. So i'm seeing some better play, at least right now, out of our edges but our ilb'ers are still utterly awful. I hope seeing the 2nd half tommorrow i get to see some upfield flashing from Scoobs.

Secondary...omg Gilbert. Holy fuck i'm not even going to talk about our secondary. How the fuck can we still not tackle? Year after year after year.

Couple years in an nfl weightroom just watch. His toolset is there, his deficiencies rigjt now stem mainly from the strength gap between him and vet nfl lineman. That will close

He's not the Bennett, Watt, Bosa, Hayes, Tuck type of end that will align outside in your base, then shade a guard inside. He doesn't have the lower body strength, explosion and counter move for that.

Put #55 on Naz with 4 more inches of length. A young Chris Hamburger..

Finished watching the 2nd half vs. the Falcons and it is clear that in run-pass situations, Nassib is a liability... for now.

Strictly passing situations as part of a package? Different story... at least as long as he is on the edge. Inside? Not so much...

With the strength will come explosion and pad level, coaching and time - the counter move. Either way, at 6'6, he's not going to be your interior player on early downs and running situations. He's not built for that and few

players that tall are. In time, I would like to see him become that kind of player. Especially with all the four man fronts we'll be playing.

I've seen him up close and talked to him.

He does not look flabby - he's still a big kid. You watch him in practice - I'm tellin ya he can MOVE.

He's a NT, it isn't a glamour position of great stats. On one play, I saw him, in an exhibition game, forget which one,

he took on a blocker to the right, disposed of him, and went over center, and drove him straight back towards the qb

about 4-5 feet before the qb threw it away.

The Browns are still moving personel around, trying a lot of things. Not worried at all - it will come together.

He also had a couple moments that show room for growth.

love the shelton pick. one player cannot alone fix the prob we have on DL. he needs some help and i don't know that he has enough of it.

Loved the pick too and I agree that a single player can't turn a putrid defense into a good one, but I expected waaaay more out of Danny than what I've seen so far. I hoped he would look stronger with the weight he lost, but instead he looks even flabbier and still doesn't have that NFL strength that others have.

I like Danny and hope he develops into what I thought he would be for us on draft day and there's still plenty of time, but such as is the NFL, the clock is ticking.

Problem is, that when they have drafted the sure bets, they turned out to be bad bets. So, it hasn't mattered either way.

Yep, I don't think you can find anyone who didn't love the Danny pick, and so far, he's hovering dangerously close to the mendoza/bust line. He was supposed to transform our defense the day he stepped on the field, and I'm still waiting for Optimus Prime to show up...... Hell, I'll even settle for Bumble Bee.

The problem there Z is- we rebooted a few years back with Farmer, before that Savage, before that..... Notice a trend? Yup,every time we have a regime change it's always sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows- until around week 5, or sooner. If you want to think it's all going to be different this time around, be my guest. I want to see concrete proof of improvement in the regular season before I get pumped up- not just to be let down yet again by overly optimistic expectations.

So what have I seen so far? Hue may be the best coach the Browns have hired in like forever. RG III looks competent- if he can stay healthy. Having Coleman, Gordon and Pryor is a vast improvement over what we had last year at WR. On defense, it looks like Ogbah and Nassib can play. The rest of the defense? It sucks pretty bad. Zero run defense, and near zero pressure on opposing qbs.

The O better score a ton of points- because to this point we're running the tissue paper defense.

We rebooted in Jan 2016 in case you missed it ... All your bitching about shit that happened before that is irrelevant.

You sound like the bald drunk at the local bar who secretly likes dicks and has opinions on things that happened in the past and no clue about the present or the future.

Unless there is a juicy dick involved. Then you are all in.

In Ohio that is true. However the "Wait till next year" saying has existed in College Station since Bear Bryant left in 1957, well before the Jim Brown glory days. It was part of the culture by the time my brother went there in 1963. Was even more ingrained when I started in 1965. 😁

You will still have to wait until next year in College station. "This is Not the year" could be your mantra.

But back to the topic. I am hopeful of some impact by the new defensive players. Less so with O players where I think we whiffed on some picks. We'll have a far better idea how we did overall toward the end of this season as the learning curve gets smaller. If memory serves I think Nassib was one of my "finds" in the mock draft we played this year. But as I get older memory gets trickier and too lazy to look it up. *

* I looked it up and Mudfly picked Nassib @ #74 overall for the Bucs.

I am waiting for somebody for the Browns to answer Yogi Berra's Question: "Can Anybody here play this game"?

well i'm glad at least 2 out of the 14 picks show something in practice and preseason. lol.

hey if the browns double it and 4 players turn out to be on the squad in 3 years that's a whopping 29% return on their 2016 investment!!!

WHOOPPEE!! breaking all kinds of records!

If they had 4 of their draft picks still on this team in 3 years, that would probably be fairly average....or above for any NFL team, I suggest.

If you went back to take a look at the draft of 4 years ago...say 2012....and saw which teams still had 4 players from their 2012 draft on their current roster, I would wager it is far less than 50%.
