    I don't get the idea of not trading out of fear of not using the picks well. If you think they're not going to pick the right guy, surely you prefer them to have more attempts at it?

    That's been my bitch Chris, this FO seems to value quantity over quality.

    This is how you accumulate a roster full of mediocre talent.

    And that I can get on board with. I don't particularly favour trading down, maybe a few spots if we can pick up an extra first and at least an extra second, if not another first (like rams/rg3). But, people complain that they don't trust the FO to make the right picks, then are vehemently against them having more attempts at it, which is counter intuitive.

    I'm on board trading down on our second pick. Around 15. Secure two top 25 players and an additional 2nd rounder.

    Should be able to get more than that to trade down that far. We basically got that by moving from 8 to 15 this year.

    A trade always depends on the offer exceeding the value of the prospects. IMO we got great value trading the #2 to PHI last year... so so value trading the PHI #8 to TN for the #15.

    There are almost always a small number of "special" players everyone wants to some degree who turns out to be the shiznit. Once they do then we hear endlessly on how we passed on "their guy"... on how much smarter they are than our FO... all the while never mentioning the 11 other fucksticks they've wanted over the years that bombed.

    It gets old...

    I kinda want to trade down from #1 overall at this point. Seriously drafting Garrett or Allen and putting him into a ray horton system is such a waste of talent.

    so lets just keep trading down and drafting mediocre (at best) talent so when the next DC comes in he's got squat to work with. I mean why break the mold right? Why start drafting talent now? seems so impulsive to me. We've got such a good thing going right now where we can't tell whether it's the players that outright suck or the coaches suck or some combo thereof.

    Srsly lets just start drafting talent that gets shit done on the field and when other teams react to that talent we can see if our coaches put said talent in the positions to win games for this team. If we draft Garett and Horton immediately stands him up....and we all see how well Garett does those snaps with his hands down....than we can yell and scream for Horton to be let go if he doesn't fit the defense to the talent on the team. If they keep shoehorning players built for one scheme into another, than we know it's the coaches 100%.

    horton has had two seasons with the browns and they both sucked your asking for a 3rd season. and he did that with ogbah at the beginning of the season and garrett is too small to play de in a 3-4

    trade down secure some future picks seems like a good idea for the browns 1 player wont fix our issues..1 coach maybe but we need help at a lot of spots QB being the biggest need simply because we dont have a franchise guy on roster hell we should probably draft two QBs

    maybe we can trade down and take Mitch and Fournette in the 1st

    Somebody tell this guy we play more 4 man front than his traditional belief on what a 34 is.

    I'm tired of explaining at this point.

    you mean nickel tia...thats the word your looking for... Nickel

  • Tour2maT Tour2ma wrote on last edited by

    Nickel is a 4-2 front... I am very sure tia knows the difference.

    Since Collins' arrival we have played more 3-4, but prior to that our base look definitely favored the 4-3.

    When we haven't subbed out the bigs it's been 33 with Collins on the weakside in odd fronts.

    Needless to say, aside from Danny, we have no player in which you say 'this is what we're committing to'. Even then, that type of mentality is only dominant on the offensive side of the ball.

    No, actually it isn't. Nickel is your DB grouping. You can run 4 man fronts from 43 under/ over and 44 looks without being nickel.

  • C CaineDeSoulis wrote on last edited by CaineDeSoulis

    we play nickel in over 40% of our defensive snaps with 4 down lineman. I can count on both hands the times we have played 4-4 or 4-6. When we are in nickel we rarely send more than 4 and when we do its an S. Most of our other snaps have been 3 down lineman with one rushing LB

    I figure we are going to lose Pryor,Crowell in FA atleast. With Pryor he can be replaced by Devalve because of the similar measurables and Seth did Play WR in College. Regardless its he can be replaced pretty easily, i mean really how hard is it to find someone that can push off and is tall. Devalve makes up for the 2 in height disadvantage with the 10in jump advantage.

    I feel like there is a fundamental lack of understanding the term "nickel" happening in this very moment.

  • Tim Couch Pulls OutT Tim Couch Pulls Out wrote on last edited by

    Let it be on record that I am in favor of the 25 defense.

    The more linebackers the better. Who needs those big fat fatty fats bumping titties.

  • tiamat63T tiamat63 wrote on last edited by

    Suggesting devalve over Pryor?

    At this point you're just fuckin trolling me.

  • C CaineDeSoulis wrote on last edited by CaineDeSoulis

    Devalve will be on our team next year and Pryor wont thats the point i'm making. He's no big loss Jordan payton any big bodied receiver would work
