<![CDATA[Another curious signing]]> Many acquisitions don't work out.  Is this another one?

The lowest-rated PFF starter on our defense this season after 6 games... Jamie Collins, 34.6.

To paraphrase the Sopranos... There's good and there's not good -- and that's not good.

But the first 10 episodes or so are brutally slow so I can somewhat understand it. Should’ve powered through. 

Man I loved the first season... What am I saying, I loved the entire run. So damn good.

Still I never fully trust players that Belichick is willing to unload but...

The concussion protocol is going to screw a lot of teams.

I have high hopes for collins as a 4-3 blitzing olb'er that comes out of nowhere. If garrett plays well and we pick up a competent LDE, collins will essentially be unblockable rushing in conjunction with good DE's

Lately I've been envisioning Collins at MLB with a fresh-faced, rookie OLB to his right and Kirk to his left.

This thread is much better as a discussion about the Sopranos. 

Unfortunately true about many of the 0-Fer BROWNS chat anymore,  hmmmm Sopranos thread we should look into that.

I’ve seen the Sopranos like 6x through. Pretty sure that’s not a quote from it. 

One of the best shows ever!

"You know, Tony, it's a multiple choice thing with you. 'Cause I can't tell if you're old-fashioned, you're paranoid, or just a f**king a**hole."

"So what, no f**kin' ziti now?"

"You're not gonna believe this. The guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians. He was an interior decorator."

"Anybody else would've had their f***in' intervention right through the back of their head."

Funny how you can never be wrong as long as you wait to say something until after the fact...

Jamie Collins has been decent for us... I can't complain too much about him.. So far.. You could probably say that him and JT are the most consistent performance wise .

this year......2017?

uh, no.

I saw a player do that in the MNF game... may have been Henry... said to the wife, "that's one of those little bell-rings that accumulate over a career". The player was not attended to...

Eh, he's been a good football player for a long time and missed several games with a concussion. I'm not worried yet-he would have gotten a very similar contract from a lot of teams in the NFL.

He's a free-lancer whose free-lancing has been green-lighted by his DC... going to be booms and busts. Until he settles in, much as was the case with Ogletree in StL/LA.

Can't minimize the concussion bit. Must have been a doozy given the time missed... has to give some pause upon return. But if he stays "clear-headed" for a game or two, he should start playing with abandon again.

If the Browns hadn’t resigned him you would’ve been all: “wtf, just letting one of their only good players get away, when will the browns hold onto the talent they acquire?!”
