    He may have also wanted to do what McCoy did:   join a foe in the same division as the team that released him in order to get payback.

    But to do that you have to live in Detroit?  Nah,  it's the millions.

    Is it?  Do we know if the Browns even made an offer?  And if so, was it all that deficient in comparison?

    No.  Not yet anyway.

    No we don't- and we weren't going to offer him a $9 million one year contract either. He apparently wanted to start, instead of being a rotational player, and the contract the Lions gave him isn't rotational money.  

    The tide has turned- and we don't need to overpay to get talent here anymore.

    As odd as it sounds l’m ok with not getting a guy like Daniels. The table is set for some fierce competition amongst the DL, and l kind of look forward to seeing who among the Zettels and Ekaules step up their game and push for playing time.

    well zettel is a DE so unless he put on some considerable mass in the offseason he's not gonna be DT material. We're "set" st DE with Smith and Avery as rotation depth. There might be a spot for Zettel there as garbage time rotation. But DT depth still concerns me. We play Blt twice and thats the best interior OL in football....thsts a heavy lifting game. I dont want sheldon and jobi accumulating too much dmg in that game. Hopefully baker and thst offense can put so much pts on the board esrly that blt has to start passing sooner.

    A good number of those backup guys have been with the team about a year now, and were Dorsey pick ups. We traded a 7th for Devaroe Lawrence. We axed Austin Reiter and Carl Nassib to make room for a couple of them, both guys who found some success elsewhere. Presumably Dorsey saw something in these guys so he went out of his way to gets them. Let’s see what they can do.

    Also, read today that Smith is practicing with the 3rd team DL most recently. He’s a guy l think we both liked last year, but getting a subtle message to not rest on his laurels. We got good pace setters for competition and betterment as a whole is bound to happen.

    Well....this is the Browns depth chart for this year at DT:

    DT 65 Ogunjobi, Larry 17/3 91 Price, Brian SF18 94 Davis, Carl W/Bal 96 Ekuale, Daniel CF18    
    DT 98 Richardson, Sheldon U/Min 93 Coley, Trevon SF16 99 Lawrence, Devaroe T/NO

    Sufficient?  or Insufficient at this point?

    I think the Browns still want some help there,otherwise they would 

    not have been looking at McCoy and Daniels

    The 30 yr old would've been a nice addition...but for the right price.  (unless you're desperate, which we're not at that position)

    1) Thats interesting about Smith...who's taking 2nd team reps from him? Thomas? 

    2) As far as i can tell all those pickups we got from letting meder and nassib go....didnt work out. When jobi was injured they kept him in there pkaying at prob 80%. That speaks volumes about that rotation. And why Sheldon was such a key signing. The fact we were still persuing DT's lije mccoy and daniels means Berea is worried what hsppens if sheldon or jobi get hurt

    Found the mention about Chris Smith in that article. Apparently Avery and Zettel have been the number 2 team as of this writing. 

    I dunno. Every year it seems some guys come outta nowhere and increase their level of play. Some guys regress too, but it seems there are enough of these bottom of the roster guys who have been with the club since last year and see the chance to be a part of something great, so l’m hopeful a few step up and pan out.

    hell yes to bringing meder back...thats a solid heavy lifter that could come in against the run. Aytaba rubin huh? god damn i had no idea he was still around. Article suggests he was producing as a backup in seattle which has no bums in that d line room. I could be persuaded by a strong showing in camp....do it

    Uhh, no.    

    Chad was getting reps in 1 on 1's vs the 1st team tackles, like I said he did vs Hubbard on a couple wins.   I don't recall seeing him get a single first team snap in 11's though.
