    Per DBN & bleacher he's a Brown.. 2 years 6M..2M guaranteed. 1 cut pending? Played in Gregg Williams system 2013. Look for Jamar Taylor to move inside to cover slot? short arms but quick feet with good speed

    I thought that Jamar Taylor was slated to be the Browns' slot corner, no?

    The acquisition of McCourty was a good get - gives them a proven vet that still measures as one of the better options available. Knows Williams' system and can help the secondary get up to speed with the new defensive assignments. Solid tackler, and one of the best corners at limiting YAC according to PFF. The two-year deal probably gains the Browns McCourty's last two productive years for cheap. Solid signing.

    great signing. ourlads has Taylor at #1 RCB for now. Which at this time of year means nothing. Horton was forced to play Taylor outside with Haden down & Dramon Williams poor play. No doubt Gregg Williams got some big help today. Gregg already had a plan way before pen met paper. good enough for me.(but again, Whitner was not Whitner at 30 either.a 2 year deal seems right) Also McCourty was drafted with Kenny Britt same year to titians..

    Why not? Veteran presence at a bargain price in the DB can only be viewed as a positive.

    Makes sense... a CB that's lost a step, but has a ton of experience is a reasonable candidate... especially in our candidate mix. But he comes with an injury concern having missed 14 games over the past two seasons.

  • I like the sign. Starter though?

    OK, What IS our depth chart now in the DB? Before this signing we had:

    LCB: Haden, backed up by Boddy-Calhoun

    RCB: Taylor, backed up by someone name Marcus Burley...who I don't think I have even heard of

    SS: Ibrahim Campbell, backup Tyvus Powell

    FS: Ed Reynolds, backup Trey Caldwell

    WS: Peppers. (now what is a "WS""?)

    Where would McCourty fit?

    McCourt would be FS

    Peppers SS in base sets and "Nickel" in 5 DB looks

    Not ruling out McCourty being a reserve DB and Tyvis beating him out for the FS spot.

    Taylor is the slot corner, BBC (who is underrated on here) is the outside

    Me neither... just another option on the roster.

    I love the BBC roster of mystery programs. Errr, oh....you mean you are not talking about that BBC?

    As for Briean Boddy Calhoun..... I am not sure that I would not just as soon have The Lady Brienne playing for us.

    But, you know, she doesn't clean up all that badly:

    While your on corners losing a step. Haden? another reason I really like the McCourty move with W.Howard going down. At FS I really want to see this BYU morman kid Kai Nacua piss on Gregg Williams campfire at Camp. LOL. but whats your opinion on a 5'9" Boddy-Calhoun staying inside at slot instead of behind Haden at CB? Now with Taylor & McCourty both on board. Or moving Calhoun to FS with T. Powell?..

    BBC is my second cousin, just talked to him a few months ago. I really hope he stays on this team.

    Again all the below is with the proviso that I have the hardest time evaluating DBs...

    Joe's been playing nicked for so long that it's hard to tell what he has left... what he's lost. You can see flashes of his old self at times, but his baseline performance has fallen. It's critical that he plays with an elevated baseline this year... and flashes upwards from that level.

    BBC? Dunno... has shown more than a little versatility, but proficiency? The former should be enough to earn him a spot on a Williams' defense which in turn may give him a platform to show the latter. FS? At 5'9 with an arm-length proportional to his height, he's not my idea of a FS, but he does have some "hops". Also lacking, however... experience at the position.

    Nope.....thats backwards.....Taylor plays outside, opposite Haden.....and Boddy Calhoun plays the 3rd(slot) position.....

    Now....with McCourty....maybe they start him ouside and move Taylor to slot, but only time will tell there(assuming everyone stays healthy #haden....

    That big contract they gave Taylor indicates(to me) that they plan to start him(outside).....but Im not so sure he's as good as the Browns wish he was.....hence McCourty....
