I just have a lot of random thoughts about what front 7 personnel we have on our roster at this time and how it aligns with a 43 base Williams has used a lot in the past.</p>

<p>1) <strong>Myles Garrett</strong> should be joining us as the pick of the litter and undisputed best edge rusher of the draft.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Desmond Bryant </strong>who can play DE or kick inside and play DT returns to us healthy with fresh legs.  This kind of flexibility is invaluable.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Nate Orchard</strong> closed strong in 2015 while it didn't look like he was going to get much of a chance in 2016 prior to IR. I suppose drafting Garrett won't make things any easier for Orchard to find playing time.  However, if Garrett is one of those guys prone to ankle injuries - Orchard may provide invaluable depth.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Jamie Collins</strong> has a new contract after his dynamic improved our defense.</p>

<p>Here's what I see on the roster competing for starting jobs and situational rotation using positions projected for a 43:</p>
<p>DE - <strong>Myles Garrett</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Carl Nassib</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Emmanuel Ogbah</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Dylan Wynn</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Tyrone Holmes</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Cam Johnson</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Xavier Cooper</strong></p>
<p>DE - <strong>Nate Orchard</strong></p>
<p>DE/DT - <strong>Desmond Bryant</strong></p>
<p>DT - <strong>Danny Shelton</strong></p>
<p>DT - <strong>Jamie Meder</strong></p>
<p>DT - <strong>Stephen Paea</strong></p>
<p>DT - <strong>Gabe Wright</strong></p>
<p>DT - <strong>Nile Lawrence-Stample</strong></p>
<p>DT - <strong>T. Coley</strong></p>
<p>OLB -<strong> Jamie Collins</strong><br />OLB/ILB - <strong>Christian Kirksey</strong></p>
<p>OLB - <strong>Joe Schobert</strong></p>
<p>ILB - <strong>Demario Davis</strong></p>
<p>ILB - <strong>Dominique Alexander</strong></p>
<p>ILB - <strong>Tank Carder</strong></p>
<p>ILB - <strong>James Burgess</strong></p>

<p>Looking forward to seeing what we add in the draft and free agency.  Let's hope Gregg Williams instills the giddy-up and get after it that treats us to a lot of sic em, sock em and sack em.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/45936/front-7</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 05:27:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/45936.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Sat, 18 Feb 2017 06:53:59 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Front 7 on Fri, 24 Feb 2017 14:39:20 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/joedawg69" aria-label="Profile: joedawg69">@<bdi>joedawg69</bdi></a> <a href="/post/685891">said</a>:</p><div><p>LOL, right now it is hard to say who we should pick because there is not a lot to think about for them.

Collins is our ILB.. this leaves little room for Davis on the field bc he's nowhere near fast/quick enough to cover in space.</p>

<p>This leaves a LB hole - hopefully we can get a midrounder to challenge for PT immediately.  </p>

<p>Lots of holes on D to fill.. I'd always draft the guy who's a 90 at a position rather than a guy who's a 75 at a so-called "position of need" because the 90 will be on your team for 3,4 years and will be a standout while the "position of need" kneejerk pick will be barely average.  Yes, this is similar logic to BPA but i think of it as "BPA at a position of need" ..</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/685030</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/685030</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Unsympathetic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Feb 2017 15:00:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Front 7 on Tue, 21 Feb 2017 14:38:34 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/wargograw" aria-label="Profile: wargograw">@<bdi>wargograw</bdi></a> <a href="/post/684524">said</a>:</p><div><p>Gipper.

I will stay excited about his year if they just keep it up from FA thru the draft. No more rookie mistakes and reaches like last year at this time.

That might not sound like a big deal, but I believe it is (assuming what I read is true).  Garrett JUST turned 21, and he's very young.  Getting better against the run tells me he's a worker, and he's not happy to just be a sack artist.  Look at what Clowney did this year.  He wasn't a sack monster, but he was about as good as it gets against the run.  He's a different player and a different build than Garrett, but there are some similarities too.  Everything I've read/heard about Garrett's character is first rate, and I don't think he has one single knock against him in that regard.  Dane Brugler recently said on a radio interview that Garrett should not have even played in several games this year due to his high ankle sprain (or whatever the injury was), and I believe he was at his worst during the Bama game.  I don't want to make excuses for anybody, and we obviously would prefer the #1 player prospect to play well on the big stage, but if Dane Brugler is saying Garrett should not have even played in that game, that tells me something about this kid.  </p>

<p>With the additions of this year's draft picks, our new DC, and one or two free agents, our defensive front has the potential to be vastly different.  I don't have any disillusions of our defense being dominant or anything like that, but I do believe we can increase just about every statistical category in just one season.  Gregg Williams has the feel of a real defensive coordinator, and the cupboard won't be completely bare.  Yes, we still need a ton of depth, and yes, we will likely still need several members of our secondary, but we all know we can't create a killer defense in one offseason.  </p>

<p>The signing of Jamie Collins was a turning point for me.  I think many of us, and many analysts, kind of felt like we were "renting" Jamie Collins, and he'd leave just as soon as he could.  Not only did we wrap him up, we didn't have to franchise him.  We have the centerpiece of our defense, and I think that's something we've been missing for an eternity.  To make it all a bit sweeter, the deal didn't break the bank because we basically paid for Collins by releasing McCown and Tramon Williams.  Yeah, it kind of hurts to lose those two, but not THAT bad, AND we still have the majority of our capital.  This seems like smart management to me, and we always knew we were going to have to replace a safety/DB and QB anyways.  Joe Thomas went on record to say he believes the Browns will add 3-4 free agents.  He's obviously not our GM or anything, but I thought it was an interesting comment.  When has he ever said something like that before?  It just kind of adds to the feeling that we're done "tearing down" and we're ready to "build up".  Every fan knows you build through the draft, but you also have to take a few cautious shots at free agency as well.  I'm interested to see who we target, and who we're actually able to bring home.  </p>

<p>It will be complete culture shock for our defense, as Ray Horton and Gregg Williams are said to be total opposites in how they approach football.  Williams won't hesitate to get all up in people's faces, and I think that's something I want.  I want the fire, the attitude, and the culture of the "Dawg Pound" to come back.  </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/684987</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/684987</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[jiggins7919]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Feb 2017 13:43:26 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Front 7 on Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:38:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/orion" aria-label="Profile: orion">@<bdi>orion</bdi></a> <a href="/post/684935">said</a>:</p><div>
<p>IMO, Nassib was virtually useless last year (once the regular season started and he was playing against REAL offensive linemen).</p>
<p>He got quite a bit of playing time but was basically an offensive tackle's dream DE.</p>

<p>Not to sure yet. Not to sure the plan was to start him till Des B. &amp; plenty more DL went down? Good frame to grow on. Good nose for football &amp; I spent many plays yelling at the tube,"Get your damn hands up in the passing windows" Naz was pretty good with it. Lets see what Williams does with The Naz.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/684960</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/684960</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[gumby73]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:38:11 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
